Do You Really Understand?

[sitting on a beach at night, listening to the waves crash against each other & the insects of the night make music]

A lonely man sits in the sand, running his fingers through it and smiling occasionally. Someone spots him and decides to join him.

"Hyung, what are you doing out here by yourself?"

"Just reminiscing, that's all. Why are you still up?"

"I couldn't sleep. To be honest, i keep having these weird dreams and hearing things."

"I know what you mean." the older guy said as he looked down at the sand.

"You know, i miss him. I really do. It's not the same without him anymore."

The young man let a deep sigh, "hyung, you have to let it go. I know its hard, but all you're doing is just making it harder for you to accept it. So please let him rest in peace, okay?"

"I know, but knowing i wont be able to hear is cute little laugh or see him smiling again really hurts me. I feel like i should be the one dead, not him". The tears he was holding back all this time were beginning to flow down his face, he tried stopping them but it was no use.

"Ya know, i still think of him too." the younger guy said looking up at the night sky.

"Sometimes when i'm in bed, i'll turn over thinking that he'll be there, sound asleep, or reading something that piqued his interest. And every single time, the cruel reality of it all, hits me in the face; Tae isn't here with us anymore."

"It's been 3 years right?" the older guy asked, wiping away the remaining trails of his tears off his cheeks.

"Yeah. I still have nightmares about that night. So, I know exactly what you're going through and feeling."

"But do you really know how I'm feeling Jungkook?" Do you know how it feels to have the one person who meant the entire world to you, look you in the eyes and take his last breath?!" his words made Jungkook shiver. Of course he didn't exactly know how he felt but he knew to a certain extent. But hearing Yoongi say it like that made him feel guilty. He knew how much Yoongi loved Jimin and now he regretted saying anything, or rather how he said it.

"Hyung, im sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I was just thinking that since we both lost someone who was very dear to us, that i could understand your pain. I mean I do understand it, but it's just to an extent. I'm sorry." Jungkook was looking down playing with his fingers while he talked. He couldn't bring himself to look at Yoongi after making him upset like that.

"I'm pretty sure I'd be the same if I saw Tae take his last breath.." he trailed off, "and honestly, I'm glad I wasn't. I don't think I would've handled it the right way." Jungkook said as he took a sip of water. 

A/N: OKAY SO BOTH STORIES WERE MEANT TO HAVE SAD ENDINGS BUT FOR THE SAKE OF MY FRIENDS, I CHANGED IT. I REALLY HOPED THEY'RE HAPPY WITH THE OUTCOME, but I can't say the same for Jimin. I'm sorry my lovely bub, I really am but I need to write a sad story now.
