he left his mark // bts

"Don't you think that's quite inappropriate to say?" Taehyung exclaims.

"What is inappropriate exactly?" Jungkook asks. "It's my death after all."

"Yeah, but still. Why are you taking this so lightly?"

Sigh.

It's always like that with Taehyung. Whenever the time of a person he knows comes, he becomes really serious and sensitive.

Jungkook really has no time left to spend with Taehyung's worries and whining. He's left with less that twenty four hours to live and he wants to do something other than sit and cry about it.

He knew from an early age when he'd die. Everyone did. His mark obviously read 2017.06.15, 11:30am. He and everyone who knew him, except for Taehyung, had accepted the fact that Jeongguk would die young.

"If you're so worried about me dying or you dealing with it, then you shouldn't have gotten close to me in the first place." Jungkook says. "Look, it's not like I am tragically going to leave you, or anyone. At least we're ready for this. I'm ready for this."

"Yah! Do you think it'll be as difficult for you as it is going to be for me? Jungkook, I'm the one who'll have to go on living without you." Taehyung says, his eyes watering.

"Tae... Come on, don't cry." Jungkook says as he wipes the tears streaming down Taehyung's cheeks. "Hey, to make it up to you, for all those times we were apart, I'll make sure to spend the rest of my life with you, okay?"

Taehyung thought it was quite ironic. He always felt like he only needed Jungkook in his life. They'd known each other since birth. Well, Taehyung was a little older, but he'd known Jungkook his whole life. And now, he was going to lose him.

Taehyung knew he had to tell Jungkook the truth; that what he felt for him was something more than just friendship. It run deeper in his vains. His heart was beating fast now, he was crying more, because he knew that if he confessed his true feelings to Jungkook now, they'd only spend the rest of their time left in awkwardness and sadness.

"Taehyung? Does that sound good?" Jungkook asks worriedly. He thought Taehyung was ready to accept his passing. "Look, if you still need ti-"

"No." Taehyung interrupts. "No, I want you to stay with me. I don't need any more time to think about anything. Just be with me." Taehyung is fully crying now. Sobs and everything. But he knows that he has to show happiness for at least until... Well, until he's left alone.

"Yah! Kim Taehyung! I swear to God, if you dare throw water on me once more, I won't show any mercy!" Jungkook shouts once Taehyung throws sea water at him.

Jungkook knew Taehyung liked the sea, so he took him there to have some fun before he...

...he didn't want to think about it.

"I'm gonna make you wet!" Taehyung screams and a few heads turn to look at him. "Huh, sorry!" He says apologetically to Jeongguk.

Jungkook is full on laughing. Taehyung had always been indescreet, but that was some next level shit.

"Dumbass! Come here!"

They started chasing each other until they got so tired that they both lied on the sand. Jungkook's stomach made a weird noise that caused Taehyung to start laughing hysterically.

"Hey. I'm hungry."

"Then let's get you something to eat. Hmm... How about beef?"

Jungkook likes beef. He slowly nods and gets up, helping Taehyung stand as well. "There's a restaurant I know somewhere in town. I used to go there with my parents. How about we go there?" Taehyung suggests.

"Sounds good."

They start walking on the sidewalk. Jungkook was walking close to Taehyung, but not close enough for them to touch.

"Ouch!" Jungkook shouts as he bumps onto another guy walking on the sidewalk.

The guy turns and looks at Jungkook . "I'm sorry, I wasn't looking. Are you okay?" He says with a smile.

Jungkook gets a good look at him and smiles back. "No, it's okay. I'm not hurt."

The guy giggles and helps Jungkook get up. "Then I'll be going." He says and he immediately leaves.

"Yah! Jungkook , are you okay?" Taehyung practically screams to Jungkook . "Can you hear me?"

"Of course I can hear you!"

"Boy, you just fell for no reason. I thought something happened. Are you really okay? Who were you talking to?"

"No. I just bumped onto that guy, who then apologized and helped me up." Jungkook explains.

"What guy?"

"They quite short one with the blond hair right the- Huh?" Jungkook seems kind of lost. "He went that way, but I can't see him anymore. Guess he left."

"Jungkook."

"Mm?"

"Check the time. Oh my God."

11:28am.

That was it. He still had two minutes to live. "Huh," he looks at Taehyung "...who thought I'd die hungry. What a shame."

Taehyung's eyes start to water, but he quickly wipes his tears away. "I love you." He says out of the blue.

Jungkook's eyes drift to Taehyung's face. The latter holds his head low. "I love you, too, Hyung."

"No, Jungkook. You don't understand, damn it!" He says a little quieter now. "I said, I love you."

Jungkook gets to look into Taehyung's eyes clearer now, since Taehyung lifted his head. Now he understands that Taehyung doesn't mean it the way he does.

10, 9, 8,...

Taehyung is now crying again.

7,6,5,...

Jungkook feels his hyung's arms around him.

4,3,2,...

Taehyung's lips are now pressed against his.

...1.

At least it feels warm, he thinks to himself and closes his eyes.

Heyyy. I know it started quite sadly and it kind of feels like it's going on real fast, but believe me it won't.
