It was sunny that afternoon.

The trees swayed along to the sound of birds and the breeze, gently lifting their leaves as they danced and swirled to the flow of the wind.

And there it was; the brown, wooden coffin that held my rotten corpse.

So this is how it felt to die.

My spirit, however, was very much so alive. I could move around as freely as I had wanted; it was as if no one had known of my existence. What they said was true; there's no pain that you feel when you're dead. Mainly because nothing can touch you. And you can't touch anything.

It was weird.

Saying I was shocked was a bit of an understatement when I had seen the "bangtan boys" sitting against the backs of the white chairs that the funeral services had offered on discount. I had never really expected them to show, seeing as I had only served them for what was a half a year, but there they sat; cold faces on display for everyone that had come to admire.

People that had barely passed as my classmates had shown up as well. There were countless things that they could've done in their time instead of mourning the loss of someone that they barely knew, but I decided not to question it. Mainly because a certain someone had caught the corner of my eye when he had shown in a black tuxedo, a stylish bouquet of yellow roses in hand.

The outside world was buzzing with energy, but everything here was dull and grey, almost as if the life had been sucked out of the place. A colorless void, if you will.

But then the priest spoke, the voices fading into empty nothingness. It didn't start off with a lot of chatter anyways. He had asked who would like to give a testimony to me.

And I had half a mind to doubt that anyone would.

But then I saw Jimin stand up and walk towards the podium.

He gently cleared his throat. His voice was weak and tiny, no longer like how I knew it to be; bold and confident. His voice was so broken that I had begun to think that he had been the one who died. But nonetheless, he spoke. He began out with a hollow voice, explaining who he was, but he was whispering through it all, almost sounding so fragile and afraid that  it would shatter into pieces at any moment.

Like glass.

I placed my feet down, the grass tickling my toes as I gazed around, observing the depressed atmosphere for myself.

The closer I looked, the more I realized how much I had broken him. His eyes were glossy as he continued to go on with his speech. About me.

I sat in a chair.

"I... I wasn't a lot to her."

Lies.

"But I want to say something and get it off my chest," he said, inhaling.

"I'll miss you."

I tensed.

"I know you're out there, somewhere, and I know that you can hear my voice ringing in your ears because I want to believe it. So I need to tell you something. And I know it's too late but I-"

"Jimin, enough," Jimin's father cut him off. "Please sit down and-"

"I'm not done," He said quietly. HIs father huffed out a breath of annoyance before pursing his lips together in a fine line and clenching his jaw.

"I want to say that you were wrong. You were wrong this whole entire time."

Is this seriously what he-

"I needed you. The school needed you. Your mother needed you. And I made a mistake breaking up with you, and yeah, I was stupid," He said, wiping at his tears. "But you're just as stupid as me. You didn't realise that we were all there for you. Why couldn't you see that? We all loved you. I loved you. And I thought that it didn't matter what anyone else thought because you knew that I loved you. And that was all we needed."

Jimin...

The corners of my lips had involuntarily lifted up into what had been deemed as a smile, and before I knew it, I had water running down my cheeks as well.

He used the palms of his hands to push his tears away. "And you're so stupid, you know? You shouldn't have done that. You should've come back for me. And you should've held my hand, and kissed me, and been there for me like you were supposed to! You should've married me like I was going to ask you to, and we should've grown old together! We were supposed to grow old together. And we were supposed to have children, and..." He couldn't stop the tears from rolling down his cheeks, clear streaks almost leaving indents on his porcelain skin. His sobs filled the endless silence while everyone stared upon him helplessly, some dabbing away at their tears with a tissue, others simply in shock of his breakdown.

He had been escorted by my mother to the back, where he had fallen to his knees, crumbling down even more. He was moaning for me to come back, screaming for all to hear, but I could barely hear him over how loud I was crying with him.

After what had seemed like a few years, I decided to go over to him, wiping the last of my tears off my face. Everything he had said in his speech was right; it was my fault, I was too selfish.

But nothing would allow me to take back my actions, so I decided to give him one final speech of my own.

"I'm so sorry, Jimin-ah. I'm so sorry. But... you have to let me go." I breathed out.

I cupped his cheeks and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead. He took his hands away, and for a moment his eyes locked together with mine.

"I-it's you..."

I smiled and nodded. Actions were always better than words anyways.

I kissed his forehead once more, as I whispered into his ear,

"I'm glad to be your second."

Wow.

This is the end.

The original ending will be continuing after this though, and after that ending is another book! It will be the prequel to both but please don't start that without reading this ending first! The other ending will match with the one in the prequel.

This originally was a fake ending but I decided to make it an alternative ending as a more realistic option. I know not all stories have good endings and I wanted to portray that in my book :')

BUT FEAR NOT, there is still a good ending, which was made first so maybe that will assure you that that's the real ending xD

Also please don't cry I'm gonna go nuts if you do

And thank you for reading, ONWARDS WE GO
