Jungkook watched as V seemed to concentrate and go deep into his head.

"Taetae, come here."

He noticed the crease between V's brows disappear when the latter stopped scowling.

"He's here. He's listening."

Jungkook's brows shot upwards and an expression of interest took over his features.

"Are you coconscious? Can I speak to him? It might be easier if I were to explain things directly to him."

V's scowl was back on his face. Jungkook knew that V was getting upset, and V knew that this was going to be where and when they part ways; for now.

"I thought I could still be here while we explain." – he sighed – "I thought I'd have more time."

"You do, don't you?" – Questioned Jungkook – "Won't you be coconscious? You'll be here right?"

"Yes but I won't have control anymore, unless Taetae gives it to me. And we both know we have to bring Taehyung out afterwards. So this will be goodbye."

"But the other time you were fronting interchangeably." – Jungkook was sure hitherto that that was what would happen. He only expected a three-way conversation between two bodies.

"That will be time-consuming, not to mention it's tiring, it takes a toll on us. It will be better if I just take a step back. I'll be hearing you though, and Taetae can tell you anything I have to tell you, if there is any, so you don't have to worry."

"Oh" – Jungkook said and fiddled around with his fingers. He wasn't quite as ready as he thought he was. But alas, the truth of the matter was this had to happen and it had to happen now.

"Well it is what it is I suppose." – V said as he kicked nothing in particular, his head low and his hands in his pockets. He was getting restless and it showed. He looked back up at Jungkook who was biting the inside of his cheek, probably damaging any tissue that dared fall between his teeth. V imitated without noticing.

"Taetae look away for a second."

Jungkook wondered what was happening. It was frustrating having two people present and not being able to communicate with both. His thoughts were cut short when V took his face in his palms and pressed his lips to Jungkook's. They savored the moment. It was a goodbye kiss after all. At least they thought it was.

Once apart, V removed the necklace that carried his ring from inside Jungkook's shirt. He held it in his palm and eyed it peculiarly. His eyes then darted to Jungkook's soon enough.

"Keep it safe for me?"

Jungkook smiled transparently, truth evident behind it. He grabbed V's hand with the ring between their palms.

"Always."

V pressed their lips once more and as he parted from his lover he took a deep breath in and the out, releasing all the need and the want that screamed at him to stay.

"Let's do this baby boy. I love you. I'm always here. Alright?"

"I'm counting on it. You'd better make good on that promise."

V smiled and released Jungkook's face.

"Alright, Taetae. You can come out now. Jungkook has things to explain to you and I'll be talking to you as well, yea?" – V nods – "Listen to Jungkook and when the time comes to leave, you bring out Taehyung, not me. Okay?" – a small pause later – "Alright then, out you come."
