"Follow me", Jimin mutters and everyone does just as that, their steps echoing as they draw closer and closer to the bright glow seeping through the branches. The orange headed boy reaches the vines and such, tugging and pulling on them to separate them.

"Oh my-"

"Jungkook", Yoongi interrupts Jihyun and he runs to see the raven haired boy hanging limply from the branches that have twisted around his frail body. His skin glows, but not in the good way. It's as if the tree is slowly taking away his energy, the branches pulsing around the limp boy.

"What's happening to him", Hoseok asks astonished as he takes a step towards his unconscious friend. Jimin looks away with a scrunched face, his eyes clenched shut to avoid looking at his friend that seems to be no longer alive in this world.

"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT", Yoongi screams and he immediately turns Jimin towards him and grabs him by the collar of his shirt, his eyes tearing up uncontrollably. "JUNGKOOK RISKED EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF YOU."

Jimin doesn't say anything as Yoongi's breathing turns ragged, his eyes dilating in anger. His grip on his shirt tightens as he shakes him. "ALL OF THIS IS BECAUSE OF YOU. EVERYTHING WE'VE ALL BEEN THROUGH IS BECAUSE OF YOU. YOU'RE THE CAUSE OF ALL THIS PAIN AND SUFFERING", Yoongi screams as he begins to sob. His anger and sadness boil in his gut and he hangs his head in shame, his grips on Jimin's shirt suddenly loosening. "Jungkook... is disappearing to protect your stupid girl-"

"Wouldn't any of us do that for each other", Jimin interrupts and Yoongi slowly looks back up to look at the orange headed boy's face. "We would all risk our lives for one another", Jimin chokes out and he gently removes Yoongi's hands and wraps his arms around the crying boy to comfort him.

"You-"

"I'm sorry", Jimin mutters low and sad, his voice cracking from the amount of emotion. His teary eyes flicker from all of his friends as he lets go of Yoongi. "I'm sorry for hurting you all. I'm sorry for everything I've done to cause you all to end up here", he chokes up and he begins to go on his knees in front of everyone.

"Jimin what are you-"

"I know it's my fault", Jimin shouts as tears brim his eyes while he looks to the ground in front of him. "I know everything is all my fault. I know everything that I've done hurt all of you, and I regret it. I wish I was the only one here, lost forever in this void of Neverland- I wish I was the only one suffering, but I tried. I tried to keep you all in the real world, but it never worked!"  Jimin's sobbing at this point, everyone still gathered around him with teary eyes and shocked expressions. "I know... I know... I'm selfish, and a coward. I only thought of myself", Jimin cries as he covers his face in his hands, his crying becoming harsher as his knees dig into the ground, bowing in shame as a tear leaks through his fingers.

"Jimin, please stand up-"

"I've messed up, I know. You don't have to forgive me. I've caused all this-"

"Jimin-"

"I just..." he interrupts Namjoon as he looks back up to the rest of his friends. "I want to see you all move on- to be happy. Please.... Please, move on. Please leave this place while you're still able to find your way to the light. Please be happy-"

"Jimin!!!" Taehyung shouts as he kneels in front of him, gripping onto his shoulders to force the other to look at him. "We decided our own fate, Jimin. This isn't your fault- Yoongi is just a little angry right now. He says things he doesn't mean when he gets angry... You know that."
