Blooming End

Epilogue

yet to proofread

He lost her on an autumn, where everything is wilting, along with her body, but a flower bloomed from her heart and lungs, forcing him to face the coldest and harshest winter alone. The spring didn't gave any comfort but only reminded him of her suffering. He never looked forward for summer either, the bright sun only reminds him of her sparkly eyes and shining smiles.

But he lived. He's living and not just surviving because that is what he promised. To live the rest of his life not just for him but for the life that was taken too early from her as well.

It will never be the same though. He feels half dead. A huge hole gaping inside.

The bed he's sleeping on felt alot more bigger now without the dip from another body. The house is too quiet without her soft giggles and loud laughters. His nights became a lot more colder, almost unbearable. His visit to the cemetery extended now that he has two tombs to visit.

Everything turned black and white. Dahyun took all the colors with her when she left.

Jungkook was nothing better but it is somehow comforting for Jimin to know that someone shares the same pain. It made him feel less alone.

And he knows that he really is not, because Dahyun will always be there. In his heart. Entangled with his soul.

Jimin lit up the candle, and finally, finally after a year, had managed to hold flowers with his own hand. Because after all, Dahyun deserves to receive one. But of course he bought a whole basket of white roses. Dahyun used to love flowers so much. She never had hated it anyway.

"I'm here again Hyunnie. Hope you don't mind seeing my ugly crying face everyday." He chuckled lightly as his finger traces the letters of the epitaph.

"The pain and longing only worsen each passing day. I sometimes feel like dying, like I need someone to hold on to just to keep my sanity. But I won't try to find someone like you cause I know I'll fail miserably." He tried to keep his tears but he knows he'll never be able to do so.

"But hey, I'm doing my best. Doing my best to live for the both of us." He tries to muster his most genuine smile, heaving a deep sigh.

"Just wait for me, okay? We will meet again one day and I want you to hug me so tight. I'll be able to see your bright smile once again. Just wait, okay? For now, I'll hold onto the words and memories you left. And I'll make sure to never ever forget." He nodded to himself, looking down as more tears dropped on the gravestone.

"I love you, Hyunnie. Always."
