A Memories Tale

Rulebreaker

"When you say break the rules...what exactly do you mean?"

"You have to show yourself to him, make him do what he needs too."

"That's easy, I'll do that."

"It's risky V, if they find out, you could be wiped of the face of the earth, your existence totally wiped."

"You mean?"

"Kim Taehyung will have never existed."

Taehyung bit his lip... could he risk that? He had a thought that scared him.

"How do we know they aren't listening now?"

"They aren't."

"How do you know?"

"I'm talking to you." Namjoon said bluntly, Tae' gulped.

"How do I make him do it then?"

"You could catch him when he's least expecting it... or show up in little bursts, so they won't catch on."

Tae' nodded, he could do that.

"When should I start?"

"You should do it gradually, you don't want to risk giving him a heart attack before he goes back."

"True. I'll go back tomorrow...wait...do we have tomorrows here?"

Namjoon laughed.

"It's just like on earth except we can do this."

Namjoon faded and disappeared in front of Tae's eyes, leaving him staring in awe, his mouth hanging open. Namjoon materialised behind him and tapped him on his shoulder, making Tae' jump, he spun around.

"That was so cool, I can do that?"

"Of course, how do you think you went down to earth before?"

"I Dunno, I just thought of Kookie and I was there."

"Try it."

Tae' screwed up his face and concentrated, he could feel himself floating and when he opened his eyes he was still in the same place. Namjoon was laughing at him.

"Did I do it...what's so funny?"

"Your face."

"Oh ha-ha. Well did I?"

"You did, well done."

Tae' jumped up and down clapping his hands, he was excited.

The next day for Jungkook was the same. He slept...barely...then ate, and sat on the veranda. He looked at the vast expanse of land and sighed...what was going to happen to their place when he was gone, which he was sure was soon. The strange things happening to him were surely a sign that he was losing his marbles and he would soon join Tae.

"Bunny?"

Jungkook shot his head round, his breath catching in his throat. He rubbed his eyes, there sat in Tae's rocking chair was Tae himself.

He looked like he did when they were younger, no sign of age on his handsome face. Jungkook reached out to touch him his hand falling on soft skin. He let out a strangled sob.

"Tae'? How?"

"Bunny, you have to..." Tae' faded from view. He floated away from him, then turned and looked at him, he couldn't leave.

Jungkook still held his hand in place looking where his lover had just been.

"I have to what? Tae'...come back." A tear fell down his face.

Tae watched his bunny, a lump forming in his non-existent throat, he had to ease him into this slowly, but he hated seeing his heart breaking.

Jungkook dropped his hand and cried, deep gut wrenching sobs flew through the air and punched Tae in the stomach, he didn't have a body but he felt them.

"Soon, babe, we'll be together soon."

He floated to Jungkook's side, He placed a hand on his shoulder. Jungkook immediately sat up, he looked around.

"That's you isn't it? It was you the other night as well wasn't it? Tell me what you want me to do? Please, I'll do anything."

"You have to go back." He whispered.

"That again? What does that mean? How?"

Tae felt his chest tighten, should he tell him now? Explain it to him?

"Save me, go back to when we..."

Tae could feel a pull and he closed his eyes, when he opened them, he was staring at Namjoon.

"What are you doing, I was going to tel..."

"Shh." Namjoon said, placing a finger to his lips.

He was looking around, his eyes scanning the horizon. Tae removed Joonies finger from his mouth.

"What's happening?"

"They suspect?"

"They do?"

Namjoon looked at him, then burst out laughing.

Tae looked at him blankly, blinking, what just happened.

"What did I tell you about telling Jungkook gradually? You can't just blurt it all out."

Tae realised what had happened and slapped Joonies arm.

"You idiot, you had me worried for a moment then. Bunny was listening to me, I could have explained it all to him."

"He wouldn't have been able to handle it...don't forget, I know him too."

Tae groaned and slumped down on the ground, which was amazingly soft, he pondered. Namjoon sat beside him.

"Look I know you want to be with him, I know the type of relationship you guys had, it was sweet, you were perfect together, but we have to think of Jungkook's health, if you kill him before he does the ritual your done for." Namjoon explained a slight smirk on his handsome face.

"Well, when you put it that way." Tae said, picking at the grass in front of him.
