My Beloved

Jin was both mentally and physically drained. He had been walking around for what seemed like hours, hoping and praying for the slightest chance at finding his beloved.

Unbeknownst to him, tears were rolling out of his eyes and down his face, causing his vision to go blurry. He carelessly swiped an arm over his eyes, brushing the liquid away.

" I'm sorry... I swear I'll never do that again!" It was futile to wipe away his tears as they just kept coming. " I'll do anything, just please...!"

Jin looked around desperately for his beloved, he shouted, but there was no reply. His foot caught on something and he fell, his words catching in his throat as he did. Red-hot pain came shooting up from his toe, but Jin could care less. He pushed himself up slowly, getting to his feet and resuming his search.

" It was an accident... I swear!" His sobs never ceasing. " I- I didn't mean to do it..."

" I'm so sorry, baby. I should never have treated you like that. You're the love of my life, how could I do that?" He fell to his knees, dejected.

Jin stumbles around blindly, trying to find his darling, but failing miserably. His heart ached, knowing that he had tried to take a shortcut, and it had backfired badly.

He stumbled around, stubbing his toe yet again. He looked almost as if he were drunk with sorrow, his steps were uneven and every step increased the risk of him face planting into the ground below.

He tripped one last time, falling over pathetically. This time, he did nothing to try and get up, dehydrated and starving. He was panting heavily, sweat running down his face and joining his tears.

Maybe... he really had messed up.

So badly... it was impossible to fix.

Jin lay on the floor, dejected and tired. He had tried so hard, but to no avail. He had tried reasoning, kneeling, apologising... nothing had worked. His beloved wouldn't come back. Sluggishly, he turned his head, looking towards clock beside his bed. 11:59.

His eyes drooped dangerously and his breathing slowed down. His heart, which had previously been pumping hard against his ribcage, slowed.

I'm sorry.

The clock struck twelve.

His eyes shut.

At that very second, Namjoon walked in.

" Um, hyung...? What are you doing on the floor...?"

Jin jolted awake, his eyes opened and his breathing and heart rate going back to normal.

" H-huh?"

" I said, what are you doing on the floor?"

" I... I..." Jin stuttered, his tears started to fall again as he suddenly started wailing again, startling Namjoon.

" E-eh? Hyung? W- what happened?"

" I lost my beloved!"

" Your... who?"

" M... my... Mario!" Jin sobbed. " He meant the world to me! And I lost him!"

Namjoon looked at Jin blankly. " Uh, you mean this?" He magically produced a Mario stuffed toy from behind him and held it up.

Jin's eyes sparkled as he ran forward and snatched the toy from Namjoon. The angel sound played as he was reunited with his one and only. It was a tearjerking moment.

" My darling! I'm so, so, sorry! I swear I won't ever do that again! I missed you so much..." Jin cried comically and smothered the stuffed toy with kisses while Namjoon just sweatdropped from behind him.

" Uhm, hyung. How high are you?"
