LOVE MAZE (JiKook)

PROMISE

*Tissues on the loose ㅠㅡㅠ Jinjja mianhae yo yeoreobundeul! 🙏

"Promise me Jungkook! You'll love him with all you heart, treat him like a king, and always protect him from the devil in his head. You could see how fragile he is like a thin glass, once you drop it down then it'd shatter into pieces. He has been through so much and even worse just by my condition. So the last thing I want for him is he's not suffering anymore. All I want is his happiness. He means the world for me so I wish you'll try your best to keep this promise for me and him please! Even if he'll try to push you away in anyway just to hurt himself again please, stay Jungkook! Just stay by his side no matter what! You know how stubborn he is." Yoongi held the youngest hands, looked straight into those big doe eyes which at that moment filled with tears.

"I promise hyung," the youngest eagerly nodded and sobbed.

"I'm glad then, huh... never I thought that my love story with the wonderful Park Jimin would end up like this. You know I'd never even thought that you out of people out there would eventually fell in love with him. I mean I know you since like what? Since you couldn't even spell word LOVE right Jeon Jungkook yet I didn't see it coming haha even this disease too," he sarcastically laughed to himself, mixed with a light cough.

The youngest kept sobbing, didn't even dare to lift his head up to face the older. He felt sorry, guilty, upset to himself about everything. He wished he could do something to fix it even if that meant he would lost the chance with the love of his life. They were sitting side to side facing the horizon of beautiful sunset from the top of Yoongi's house' rooftop. It was his favourite places when he needed times to think or just relax his mind.

"I'm so sorry hyung!" Jungkook spoke under his breath. Yoongi gently patted his back, turned his head to face the sobbing boy and threw his very big bright gummy smile. It was so sincere, Jungkook swore that was his most beautiful smile, he rarely smiled like that as if he was really happy about something. It was just too contrast with his pale and sick appearance but still he looked so beautiful with that smile on his face. It made the youngest felt broken even more. He just realized that he'd miss that smile so much, he'd miss moment like this just talking with the older about stuff, he'd miss him so much, yet he wasn't aware that it would be the last time he saw that beautiful gummy smile. He bit his lower lip to prevent more sob coming out from his mouth. He tried, he tried his best to give the smile back.

"You don't need to apologize Kookie! You did nothing wrong, it's just that our stars collided in a complicate way. So stop feeling sorry okay! Aah you're so big now I'm so proud of you, just so you know I love you as much as Taehyung love you. Or a bit less than him, because you know how Taehyungie he'd kill me if he hear this haha. Just stop crying! I don't know you're such a cry baby Kookie," he chuckles and so the youngest. The youngest was amazed by how strong Yoongi, he didn't even shed a tear.

Jungkook was dazing in thought, remembering the promise he made to the late Yoongi a week ago. He stood among the crowd with all black outfits. He could hear sobbed everywhere. He felt a hand patted his shoulder. He shook his head, turned it to the side to face Jin who stood right beside him. In the other side was Jiwon, his brother and Jimin.

"Are you okay Jungkook?" he whispered, noticed how the younger lost in thought for awhile. The younger just nodded. He gulped tried his best to hold his tears from falling down. He noticed there were some celebrities attended the funeral. Well Yoongi was a song composer and producer so no wonder. His eyes stucked by the two celebrities across him, a famous rapper RM and a famous dancer J-hope. He remembered met those two in hospital. Well they quiet often visited Yoongi when the late was still in hospital. They were apparently the closest celebrity friends the late had.

Meanwhile suddenly Jimin collapsed, thanks to Taehyung he didn't fell hard to the ground because the boy caught him right away. Everyone gasped seeing the scene. They felt sorry for him.

Jungkook and Jin rushed over him, helped Taehyung to carry the boy. They excused themselves to Mr. Min to take care the boy. The old man just nodded, he too felt worried about the boy.

Jin immediately examined the boy as Jungkook laid him on the bed in Yoongi's bed.

"It must be too much for him to take, he's in so much stress," Jin sighed. "Let him rest for now! Someone need to watch him over here. I'm so sorry Jiminah," Jin said gulping back his tears, gently squeezed the boy's hand.

"I'll watch him over hyung," Jungkook offered himself.

"Okay then, Jin and I will go back to the funeral. Thank you Jungkook, please take care of him, we'll be back as soon as possible. I'm so sorry Chim!" Taehyung whispered, leaned down to softly kissed Jimin's forehead before leaving the boy with his brother.

JUNGKOOK'S POV

I kept watching the man who laid on the bed right in front of me. Even though he just laid there unconcious, he still looked so tired and broken. My heart squeezed so much by the view. It was hurt seeing him in pain like that. I softly caressed his beautiful face, he was like an angel who lost his glow and I had promised myself to give him that glow again.

He stirred as I held his hand, slowly opened his eyes. He lowly groaned when he was trying to sit himself.

"Hyung..." I cooed while helping him to fix his position.

He just keep staring at me, there was pain in his eyes and he begun to sob. His crying was getting louder and louder. His body shook so much by how hard he cried. I wrapped my hands around his shoulder, held him in my arms. I gently caressed his back to calm his down.

"He's gone Jungkook, he's gone... what should I do? I miss him and it's hurt so much," he kept mumbling, cried on my chest. I didn't know what to say so I just let him let out all his pain. He kept mumbling about how much he loved and missed the late Min Yoongi. I couldn't help myself but cried too. I just lost one of the most precious person in my life too and promised that person to protect this angel in my arms who was so broken. I didn't know how to fullfill the promise I've made.
