Yoongi kept his eyes trained, looking for any sort of movement in the dark. Suddenly a grayish, translucent thing covered the whole area. Yoongi immediately fired two shots only to find that it didn't even scratch the thing. 

"Yoongi h-Yoongi- check on Jimin- I-I can't re-reach him" Hoseok voice came in disrupted. 

"What?" Yoongi asked, only hear static sound.

"Hoseok? Hoseok? Can you hear me?"

"Yoongi-Jim-sounds scared-chec-on-Jim-" Hoseok's voice was barely audible through the static sound. He guessed that the translucent shield was creating some sort of barrier between their communication.

"Hyung?" Yoongi stopped trying to contact Hoseok when he heard Jimin calling for him. The younger's voice sound so scared. 

When he turned around he saw Jimin standing, looking at him. But in front of him was the translucent shield, blocking the path for him. Yoongi's heart picked up it's pace when he realized that they were separated. 

He rushed to the wall, looking up and around to see if there was a way past it. 

"Don't worry, Jiminie" Yoongi spoke, "I-I'll find a way"

Jimin turned around to look behind him, and Yoongi guessed the younger was looking at something he couldn't see. While the younger looked around, the silver-headed noted the wound at Jimin's waist. The bullet wound was so small. Somewhat ragged around the edges. It was a neat reddened hole  and it was oozing with dark congealing blood. Yoongi's eyes widen, panic surging through  his system. But he managed to keep his brain working- If the entry wound was small the exit gap was missing, it meant that he could still save Jimin. 

Jimin looked back at Yoongi and held a small smile on his lips. He held up his hand and placed it against the wall. The wall wasn't completely solid, since as Jimin pressed onto it, the material bent and curved with it. Yoongi's eyes locked with Jimin past the barrier. He pressed his hand against Jimin's. He could almost feel the younger's hand but that the same time the thin barrier cruelly reminded him that they were separated.

"Hoseok can you hear me?" Yoongi asked out loud, "Hoseok answer me goddamnit! I need to know a way to get to Jimin"

Yoongi knew he had to get to Jimin's side, because he was the only one with medical kit

"Hyung?" Jimin voice softly called for him. His shoulders were slumped and his eyes cast down in a soft gaze. His mouth was set in a semi-pout.

"Yes, Jimin?" Yoongi replied, but his eyes still looked everywhere to find a way to get to the younger.

"Hyung, can you do something for me?" Jimin asked, tilting his head.

"Of course, prince. Anything" The younger's eyes soften further hearing the nickname. But Yoongi's could feel tears stinging his own.

"Can you please close your eyes for me?" Jimin eyes flickered down with a hesitant expression before looking back at Yoongi, "I don't want you to see this"

Before Yoongi could ask was what happened, Jimin staggered forward and blood spilled on the wall. Yoongi's breath got caught in his lungs.

"No, no, god no!" Yoongi chocked out, "Hoseok fucking answer me!"

Yoongi felt the younger trying to thread their fingers together, but the wall prevented him. Jimin scowled at the wall his hand was pressed up against, before looking back Yoongi.

"It won't let me hold you hyung" Jimin complained. He body fell against the wall as another bullet entered his body and more blood spilled on the wall. Yoongi chocked back his cries.He tried to break past the barrier.

"Hyung, please close your eyes" Jimin's whispered. His voice so soft and sweet and it hurt the elder even more. He curled up his hand and banged it against the barrier and let out a broken sob. 

"Jimin, no..."

The younger closed his eyes, falling to his knees and another bullet pierced his skin.The silver cried out loud, begging to let past the barrier and hold Jimin as fell down to the  ground; their hands still stayed against each other, separated by a harsh barrier. They were so close to each other, yet out of reach. Yoongi's sadness was like a flowing river, cold and unending. Every drop of happiness dripped out of him as the light from Jimin's eyes slowly faded away. He felt like an empty shell with a heart thumping meaninglessly inside of him.

"No, no..." Yoongi cried, clawing at the shield to be able to join his hands together with Jimin's.

Yoongi helplessly watched as Jimin's breathed shakily, and closed his eyes. He wanted to hold Jimin, pull in him arms but he couldn't. He watched as the last flicker of life left the younger's body. 

Hoseok grumble underneath his breath as he tried to contact Yoongi, but everything seemed to fail. He could hear them, but they couldn't hear him. He wiped the tears in his eyes on his sleeve and focus on the work, but it was hard to do so when he could both his friends broken cries. He wasn't sure what they were experiencing. 

The dome was blocking everything only from one side.

He zoomed in on the center of the center of the dome where the switch was present. He noticed that now there was hole in the middle of it. A hole which was rectangular in shape and surprisingly seemed similar to the crystal that they had.

"I have to reach Yoongi" Hoseok murmured to himself.

He looked around to see FireCrystals working at their station. It was risk to use the VR, but he had no other choice. 

"Damn it" The brunet cursed and rushed to the computer, putting on the VR. 

Yoongi stared lifelessly at the other's body. Soon, a frown formed on his face. There was something wrong. Yoongi moved to the side and his eyes widen upon realization. 

Jimin didn't have the brooch on him.

And as far Yoongi could remember, the brooch was always present with their avatar. 

"This isn't real" He murmured getting up on his feet.

He quickly grabbed his guns and tried shooting at the shield. He growled when nothing happen. Jimin was still somewhere inside the dome and as Hoseok mentioned, he was scared. 

Yoongi had to get to him.

 I'm so not excited about this chapter because somehow baby managed to guess this. I'm not sure if I should be happy or not. Well, if Minmin guessed it, it's because I was able to lay down the plot and hints properlu.

But at the same time, it ruined the fun for me....
