Yoongi's eyes immediately began to fill with tears. He collapsed to the ground, refusing to look at his best friend.

His dead best friend.

      He let out animal-like noises, things that didn't even sound human. It was as if his heart had been smashed to pieces with a hammer. He pounded the ground with his fists as he continued to sob, a thousand thoughts flooding his mind at once.

       He clenched his fist over his heart, and covered his trembling lips with his other hand.

And after a few hours of crying and tearing himself apart, he curled up into a ball and let tears gently fall out of his eyes and roll down his cheeks. He lay facing away from his friend, quietly sobbing and sniffling. He didn't want to look at the body. Not even a peak. He only saw it for about five seconds when he had first walked into the building, but that was the longest five seconds of his life.

Five seconds that would stay with him forever.

He began to whisper something over and over again, his voice cracking with sobs.

"Jimin... Jimin... Jimin... Jimin..."
