Tragedy of Bangtan // BTS FF

Chapter 25: Saving Taehyung.

Taehyung opens his eyes and realizes there's nothing but a white space.

???: Taehyung.

Taehyung turns around to the sound of a familiar voice.

Taehyung: S... Seokjin-!

He couldn't even finish the sentence because was interrupted by the tears that immediately streamed down his face and his voice broke.

Seokjin: Taehyung, please get out of the water!

Taehyung: Hyung-- Is-- Is that really you?! Am I really talking to you?!

Seokjin: *nod*

Taehyung: Does that mean I-I'm-?!

Seokjin: No, no!

Taehyung: Not yet, at least.

Taehyung: ?!!! Who--

Seokjin: Taehyung, get out of the water!! I don't want you to die!! It is painful enough to watch you all suffer!

Taehyung: So you are watching over us.

Seokjin: Of course I am! And I hate the fact that I can't do anything to stop you from doing what you do!

Taehyung: Wait... But if I am not dead yet... then who is that?! *points at the other Taehyung*

Taehyung: I am you who already died.

Taehyung: !!? What?!

Taehyung: I died the same way you did, but I didn't have Seokjin-hyung to tell me to get out.

Seokjin: Taehyung, I know what you just did. And I know that you can't forgive yourself for that. I know that you think all of this is your fault. But it truly is not! It is my fault. If I hadn't been driving in a drunken state, I wouldn't have gotten in a car accident. So please...! *starts to walk towards Taehyung and hugs him while crying* Please-! Open your eyes and get out!!!

Taehyung: H... Hyung... *hugs him back*

Seokjin: Please...!

Taehyung opened his eyes but was still in the water. He tries to swim out but feels weaker and weaker as his vision becomes blurry due to lack of oxygen. The last thing he sees, was a guy swimming up to him.

Taehyung: Namjoon...

That was the last thing he thought before his eyes closed completely.

Namjoon grabbed the unconscious boy and swam up.

Namjoon: A bit more...! Just a bit more...! Taehyung, you, idiot!! Hold up!!

Namjoon successfully swam up. He put unconscious Taehyung on the beach sand and tried doing his best to save the boy as he also called Jungkook to arrive at the place. Tears were streaming down his face. He almost felt helpless.

Namjoon: Taehyung, please...!!!! Please...! WAKE UP!!

But the boy didn't even budge.

Namjoon: Taehyung, you can't...! YOU CAN'T DIE!!

Namjoon had almost lost all hope. The boy's color changed completely and his pulse was really weak. The ambulance doesn't drive to the place Namjoon was at, and driving Taehyung to the nearest hospital would take too long. He still tried doing his best. And the unexpected happened. The water that got in Taehyung's body from drowning was now being coughed out by the boy. Namjoon couldn't believe his eyes and his ears. The younger's eyes winced just a bit before he opened them completely to see the crying hyung.
