Hoseok looked at his suit in the mirror before looking at his wedding ring. He toys with it a bit, a faint smile on his face. He ties his tie before making his way out of his room. He looks up to find everyone waiting for him. Jin gives him a sad smile and pulls him into a hug. They all get to the funeral place. There, in a coffin, Yoongi is waiting to be buried. Hoseok chokes on a sob as his hand moves over the coffin. Just this morning he closed it with Yoongi's mom, taking one last look at his husbands pale face. He doesn't know if he'll really meet Yoongi in the afterlife. Will they haunt their friends together, move to heaven, meet at another place? Hoseok didn't know, all he knew is that he would find the elder. They all take a seat as the ceremony starts. Yoongi had planned it himself with Hoseok. Hoseok remembered every little detail, knew how everything was supposed to go, yet seeing everything happen in front of his eyes felt wrong. He watches as Namjoon makes his way up the small stage. The tall male clears his throat. He had been awfully quiet all day.

"Yoongi hyung had asked me to write something for him. I had at first, but telling everyone about who he was seems so much better than reading some story off of a paper." He starts. He clears his throat again, eyes glossing over as he glances at his shoes for a second.

"We met hyung at the hospital, years back. It seems like yesterday when we watched him and Hoseok walk out of the chemo room, talking together. He seemed cold at first but when we really got to know him he was a real softie. He became my best friend. When he was 'better' we worked the same job. He went with me when I went to pick a engagement ring, he helped me set up my proposal, he was my best man at my wedding." Namjoon chuckles before he chokes on a sob and lowers his head, shoulders shaking. Jin stands up and walks to him, wrapping his arms around his husband and comforting him. He wipes Namjoon's tears before the younger takes a deep breath. He grabs Jin's hand who gives him an encouraging smile, as to tell him to continue.

"I think we all fell in love with hyung, the way he just fit perfectly in our group, how he made Hobi hyung the happiest guy alive, how we all just became a big family. I will miss him, and I will live my best life, in honor of him." Namjoon finishes. He looks over at the coffin before they take their seat. Hoseok slowly makes his way up the stage, hands shaking and knees weak. He takes a deep breath and smiles.

"Hyung had a massive soft spot for me. He fell in love with me so easily, it's like we were soulmates, bound by fate. We didn't get to spend a lifetime together, we shared a short but lovable life. I love him with all my heart. When he played the piano...it was like magic and I forever wish he could've continued his dreams, but sadly we can't all get that. Yoongi was truly the kindest soul to walk this earth." He takes a deep breath, tears clouding his vision.

"When I told him I wanted to record our last time together he laughed at me, made me turn the VHS camera off, pulled me into bed and told me to not look at the screen but at the real life thing instead." Hoseok chuckles before continuing.

"I told him this; when you're gone, I want something to look at, to remember. I don't want to miss him, but fate can be cruel sometimes, in our situation it's just a joke. Now that hyung's gone, I will be able to remember him, his smile, his voice, his warmth. I won't miss him, because I know we'll meet again." Hoseok finishes, tears roll down his cheeks as he places his hand on the coffin again before walking off. Taehyung wraps an arm around his shoulder and comfortably rubs it as clips from the VHS tapes play. Hoseok closes his eyes as the sound of Yoongi playing the piano sound. How he was gonna miss that, not seeing Yoongi playing the piano in the practice room. They are being led outside where a hole is already dug. Hoseok holds onto his wedding ring as he watches his husband getting lowered into the ground. He goes home with Namjoon and Jin, Namjoon drowns himself in alcohol before Jin takes him to bed. Hoseok lays down in the guest bed and looks at the ceiling. It was hard to sleep without Yoongi beside him.

"Goodnight love."
