Heartbeats, Attention, Forgotten

"It's ok, I'm here Baby.."
"I'm not gonna leave you."
"E-Everythings ok.."

Jungkook felt like dying. Instead, he was forced to sit and watch death take someone else dear from him. Tears ran down his face. His heart broke more with every painful choked out sob the older he held in his arms let out.

"Can you hear my heartbeat? Focus on it, Tae."

Taehyung nodded. His body shook as it desperately tried to keep him alive. He let out painful cries trying to get ahold of himself. The younger holding him's heartbeat was the only thing Taehyung could try focusing on. He didn't want to leave the younger. He couldn't. But he desperately wanted to close his eyes; To end the pain.
He knew he couldn't make it much longer.
He could feel a warm, thick, and sticky liquid, darkening his dark yellow sweater. He felt the red substance slowly flowing down his side and pooling around him. He felt the metal in his stomach. He felt everything going on. But he didn't realize it.
Taehyung had yet to accept the idea that he was dying. Had yet to accept the idea of leaving his younger lover alone in the world.
It took all of his strength to stay awake, for the boy holding him against his chest and sobbing uncontrollably. He listened to the other's heartbeat as he was instructed. Its beats were fast, but Taehyung still found it comforting. He paid close attention to each beat.

His heartbeat, pay attention.

Jungkook knew how hard it was for the older to keep his eyes open. He knew the boy in his arms was dying and he couldn't do anything about it.

Jungkook and Taehyung were walking back to their dorm, through the rain after practice, when Taehyung had caught a bullet to the side, which led to Jungkook catching him and falling to his knees. He rested his Hyung's head in his lap while whispering to him to keep his attention. Jungkook knew he couldn't do much, but the longer he could talk to distract his Hyung, he knew the longer he could stay. His only goal was to talk to the older and keep him awake until the paramedics could get there and help his Taehyung.

"H-Hyung, please... You have to stay... please, please, T-Tae... stay awake, just a l-little longer. p-please.." Jungkook pleaded quietly glad the rain could hide the tears that streamed down his face. He kept trying to sound calm, so he could comfort the other male he was desperately holding onto.

Taehyung looked up at the younger, sure it was raining but he could still tell he was crying. he examined the younger boy for what felt like a long time, he already knew it was the last time he will be seeing the boy he loved so much. His hair was plastered to his forehead from the rain, eyes red from his crying but they still shined, shined with sadness, shined with worry, his eyes still shined with the love the younger boy felt for Taehyung. The younger's hands were covered in blood from when he caught Taehyung and from holding him. "J-Jungk-kook-kie I d-don't think i-i..." Taehyung's words stop forming. His voice was scratchy making it difficult for Taehyung to form words. it hurt to choke out just those few broken words.

Jungkook choked out a sob, "Tae. No... Stay... Stay, stay, please! Tae! please, you can't... I love you." he whispered shakily.

"K-Kook-kie I-I'm still.." Taehyung choked and coughed quietly, "J-Jungk-kookie" Taehyung showed a small shaky smile as he reached up and cupped his cheek in his hand, "I love you... ok? You... You w-won't forget about m-me... r-right?" He asked and looked away, slightly hurt, seeing the younger start thinking about his answer. "J-Jungkook?" Taehyung choked out.

Jungkook wasn't thinking about whether he would remember Taehyung or not. He knew he would. No Jungkook just realized he was too late, and Taehyung knew he wasn't going to survive this.
