I lived (J.H.S. X M.Y.G.)

23.

Hoseok takes in a deep breath before placing the warm cup of hot chocolate milk to his lips.

"Good morning hyung." He whispers from the veranda. It had been a year and Hoseok's condition was getting gradually worse. He too won't have much time. He mostly stayed at Namjoon and Jin's house, the couple doing everything they can to make their friend feel as comfortable as he can.

"Hyung, how are you doing today?" Namjoon asks as he walks into the kitchen. Hoseok had been having a lot of trouble eating lately, so he had lost a lot of weight, making his clothes look huge on him.

"Still the same Joonie." He answers, feeling the hot liquid slide down his throat. He closes his eyes and listens to the birds sing.

"Yoongi always loved to hear the birds sing in the morning, but he was mostly too lazy to get up." Hoseok says. Jin walks into the kitchen and kisses Namjoon on the cheek.

"That sure sounds like him." He says. Hoseok sighs and tilts his head upwards, feeling the warmth of the sun on his skin.

"It's a year today." He whispers softly. Turning and looking at the couple in the kitchen. Namjoon looks at his feet.

"I know." He says softly. Hoseok gulps and pulls the fleece blanket tightly around his body.

"Can we visit him, later today?" He asks. Jin smiles and nods.

"Of course we can Hobi." He says. Hoseok smiles and makes his way inside and into the guest room, cuddling up under the blankets and taking out the VHS camera. He starts rewatching it all. Waking Yoongi, Yoongi getting dressed, their date to the amusement park, walking Holly, hanging with the guys. He closes his eyes again as piano music starts playing. He remembers the time when Yoongi tried to teach him, and they ended up sharing their first kiss. He sighs as he slowly gets dressed. He makes himself look as good as possible before walking downstairs. Namjoon and Jin also ready. They get in the car and pick up the others before driving to the cemetery. The walk wasn't that long so Hoseok managed just fine. They soon arrive at the row and Hoseok smiles down at the grave while his friends eyes moved from their friends grave to the empty spot next to it. Hoseok's spot. Hoseok bends down and brushes some leafs off his husbands grave. He sighs as he stands up. Then suddenly he falls. His heart rate quickens as he falls into Jungkook. His breathing becomes shallow as Jimin calls an ambulance. His eyes close as Namjoon lifts him and carries him to the entrance where the ambulance will arrive shortly and his breathing stops as he gets laid on a stretcher. His friends stand around his bed and cry as one by one they make their way out. Namjoon softly closes the door as they wait for the coffin to arrive.

A little under a week after visiting Yoongi's grave, they're standing one grave down, watching as another friend gets lowered into the ground. They cry but decide to stay strong together, for their friends who watch over them together.

The end.
