Chapter 16

Nothing has been the same after Taehyung's death.

Nothing.

Everything seems more slow and like a blur. Nothing seems real anymore.

Jimin specifically is going through it the worse, especially since Taehyung was his best friend. He lost something inside him.

He lost his soulmate.

He lingers around with emotionless eyes, barely eating, barely training, only a heavy weight of guilt sits in his chest. If only he was more careful.. If only he was stronger or faster... If only he wasn't so weak. This wouldn't have happened. Taehyung would've been alive.

Taehyung didn't deserve this.

Everyone is obviously getting worried by Jimin's behavior but there's nothing they can do to change it. Nothing.

Taehyung is dead.

Even Fallen angels die.

Jungkook stares at Jimin's emotionless body on the bed as he stares at the ceiling. As much as Jungkook hates to admit it, Taehyung needs to be here. Especially if it's making Jimin this upset.

It's been a week and the mission as continued as it always been.

Except for the fact that Jungkook has lost his mercy among the humans. Without any more thought he banishes them to hell, knowing they don't deserve his mercy after the many chances he gives them to change.

Everyone is all selfish.

And that's what Taehyung saw, but Jungkook was so blind.

Some people don't deserve his mercy.

Jungkook continues to watch as Jimin's eyes slowly shuts, leaving him to a heavy sleep. At that moment Jungkook rises to his feet and swings a hoodie over his head with a backpack on his back. He writes a note and leaves it beside Jimin, giving him one last longing look before leaving the motel room. The rest of the boys are training but they'll be back soon so Jimin won't be by himself for long.

It hurts Jungkook to leave Jimin in these conditions, all alone, but it won't be for long, that's for sure.

So with quick feet, he moves down the side walk of the small town they have arrived in. The streets are dark and lonely, not a single soul in site.

This has been one of the towns that made everyone evacuate dude to the violence and riots that would occur in the area. Once officals came to remove the X species and take some subjects to be tested, this town remains deserted with a few people here and others who have returned from being isolated. However the streets at night still remain empty, people knowing how dangerous it could be at night..

But Jungkook didn't care.

He has one thing set in mind, and he's planning to accomplish that tonight.

For the sake of humanity.

So without a doubt in mind, he takes a turn to an alleyway and stops in front of a rusty door. He observes the door carefully and raises a hand over the nob. After a few tweeks, the door opens, a loud creak filling the air. Swiftly Jungkook steps inside and leaves a small creak at the door. Slowly he walks through the dark hallway, not a pitch of light in sight but that wasn't a problem for him, able to see in the dark with no problem.

Faint talking comes from down the hallway and Jungkook slowed his steps, making sure he didn't cause any noise. However, another noise reaches his hearing, causing his ears to perk and he freezes in his steps.

Waiting.

Just when he thought it was a faint of his imagination, he hears it again.

A whimper.
