Third Person's Point of View

Jungkook stands up from his bed and quietly walks towards the closet, taking a small bag and leaves his and Hoseok's shared room. It's the day.

He gargles water in his mouth and grooms his hair in the bathroom, trying to look presentable before heading to the Almighty's humble abode, "This is it," he whispers to himself, trying not to tear up.

"Jungkook?" The younger stops and slowly looks over his shoulder, "Where are you going this late at night?"

Jungkook gives him a small smile, "I'll be running a few errands for Him, you know how it is."

Hoseok nods with a pout, "Don't wait up for me alright?"

"Okay, take care. I love you Koo," Hoseok says and watches Jungkook leave their shared home.

🧚🏻‍♀️

Jungkook comes to a halt in front of the Almighty's golden gates, contemplating if he should spend his day with Hoseok one last time or continue on today's promised schedule.

"I'll give you three days to decide, Jungkook," the Higher Being states as he walks Jungkook out of His humble abode, "See you then."

Jungkook lets out a sigh and walks inside the opened gates, and as expected, the Almighty was waiting for him by the pond with His hands behind His back, "I assume you've made up your mind?"

Jungkook nods and smiles sadly, "I'm ready."

The Almighty gives him a small gold-colored scroll, "All of the steps you need to make are all written inside here, my little one," He states, carefully placing it in Jungkook's hand, "I hope you succeed."

Jungkook opens the scroll and quietly reads its contents, a few small gasps escaping from his lips every now and then.

"Are you alright?" The Almighty asks, His hands behind His back.

Jungkook slowly nods and bows a bit, "Thank you for letting me do this."

He smiles and pats the young one's shoulder, "Take care, I believe you can live through it."

Jungkook gives Him a small smile, "I'll get going now! Thank you again!"

🧚🏻‍♀️

Jungkook slowly walks towards the exact spot where the incident between Hoseok and Jimin had happened back in the 1st of January 2017. He gently squats down and touches the ground, closing his eyes as he gets a feel of the tragedy that happened. A few scenes of the incident showing up like he was in both of their nightmares. He removes his hand and takes a small dagger from his bag, using it to slice his palm and put a few droplets of blood on the pavement. He suppresses a grunt from coming out of his lips and lets go of the dagger as his blood runs toward different directions.

He then closes his eyes again and lets a tear escape from his eye before chanting a few words that was written in the golden scroll. He puts his hands together like he was praying to God and the Heaven's Saints before continuing to chant the repetitive words, "Let time rewind as the Almighty has let me, let the people start over and live life anew."

An hour passes by and time slowly starts to go backwards, making Jungkook feel a little bit tired as he goes on with his knees pressed against the pavement and his blood still dripping from his hands. He'll have to go through more hours to make time rewind a bit more faster and let him go back to the time where the incident had happened.

He lets out a few shaky breaths as he pronounces each word, he hits the two hour mark and is already exhausted. Time however is only rewinding 20 minutes per second.

Jungkook grits his teeth and chants in a fast pace, his blood on the ground glowing a bit as time rewinds a bit more faster by a minute.

'You can do this,' he thinks, his lips not stopping from chanting. One word mistaken or skipped will make him stay in the time that he stopped in and will make him live there forever.

Jungkook's blood glows more as his knees start to shake, his energy leaving his body at a fast pace, 'Chant a little bit more faster and we'll get there before we can even hit the 10 hour mark," he jokes to himself.

Twelve hours pass by and he's already in the date of January 1, 2018, leaving him with 21,900 minutes left to fully finish his job.

He lets out a grunt as he feels his wings being stripped away from his body, his lips struggling to mouth the words that has been written on the scroll.

When the pain finally subsided, he mumbles the words in a fast pace once again, 'Just a little bit more, you can do this.'

And with the last remaining minutes he had, he succeeds and slumps down on the pavement, his blood vanishing like it was some kind of CGI effect in a movie.

"The cars," Jungkook mutters to himself as he struggles to stand up, "I need to stop them from colliding."

Jungkook gasps, the pain on his back being unbearable, "Come on," he hisses.

Faint sounds from a car to his left can be heard, his mind instantly knowing what's about to happen. He then looks to his right and sees a car with its lights off coming near him

He straightens his posture and holds his hands up, gathering his last few remaining strength as he waves his hands above his head and shouts with all of his might, "Stop!"

The two cars abruptly halt, the tires from both of the vehicles screeching on the dirty pavement.

A faint smile forms on Jungkook's lips as he loses his balance, making him drop down to his knees.

He closes his eyes and gently lays himself down on the road with messages to his beloved in his mind, 'I hope that you will be happy with him from now on, Hoseok.'

'I love you. So so much.'
