[V] Goodbye, I'm Sorry

I tried calling Taehyung, but he didn't pick up. Since I didn't want to be considered as a suspect of the crime, I made sure that no one was looking before jumping out the window and running to the side of the apartment.

Now, Plan B was to search for Tae; but what if he just headed back to our apartment? It kinda seemed impossible though. I don't know...

Whether my thoughts were right or wrong, I ran back to the company as I called Seokjin, my hyung. He said he hasn't seen Taehyung, which means he's not back yet. Jin thought about a place where he thinks Tae might be at, so he told me to go back and not do anything about it. He also called the cops just in case.

When the sun had to set, Jin came back and explained to me the whole situation.

He said that where he went was a place that will be forever cherished in Tae's heart, because it was the first time when he felt feelings towards Jungkook.

"Where did you go?"
"I went to some bridge that was like a diving board in the sea. Apparently Tae and Jungkook had some alone time there. Taehyung had promised me that he'd move on from Jungkook... but he broke it. I don't blame him though, love makes you do crazy things."

It's understandable- I guess.

Taehyung seemed to leave a voicemail to Jungkook thirty minutes before he had... Yeah. Seokjin took Jungkook's phone and we all listened to it. It was very heartbreaking. All this suicide idea of Taehyung's did sound very sudden to all of us because he was always optimistic, but he revealed that he's been going through a lot of pain, not only because of his dad who kept drinking every day, but also because of family debts and his sister getting sent to the hospital very often. I felt really bad, I didn't know how it felt for sure since I've never gone through something as bad as that, but it's sad..

Jin was fortunately right about the location. He arrived right when Taehyung was only five meters away from the water. Yes, this crazy bitch actually jumped off from a high bridge. Its height was the same as three houses one on top of another, each around 4 meters, which means that this guy jumped from a height of 12 meters.

"How high was it?"
"Hm... so imagine 3 regular houses, each with 4 meters as their height, stacked onto one another. That should be the height."

He's crazy. That's all I have to say.

From Jin's point of view, a boat luckily arrived in time and dropped the anchor near where Taehyung fell in. Two officers dove into the water to fish him out. They got ahold of his body, but he was visibly unconscious. His head was tilted to the front, his chin almost touching his chest. The rescuer analyzed his body for a few minutes before stating a few things such as a broken rib cage, fractured legs, hypothermia, and his time of death.

But when Jin mentioned the word death, I felt sick to the stomach. We had to continue as a kpop group composed of- ....seven people.

But it wasn't just that.
We also lost a beloved, affectionate brother.

That's how his life ended.
His death has had us traumatized for months, but it was yet the beginning.
