" Could you ever leave the person whom you promised to love forever and ever ? "

Third Person's POV

There was a lot going on behind Jeon Jungkook's emotionless face right now. He couldn't put his mind onto anything now. He was in the middle of a very important meeting but all he could think about is ...his Jimin.

Jeon Jungkook could careless about how all the powerful people of his company couldn't even once look at him , how they were tensed, how they were gulping time and again, how their knees were shivering and they put their everything to not stutter while speaking.

Jungkook couldn't help but land his natural death glare at everyone. He was feeling so restless all suddenly. All he wanted was this meeting to be done and then he could call Jimin and hear his voice.

He hated feeling helpless and miserable like this. He knew that whenever this happens, it doesn't end good.

What is he doing ?

Did he have his lunch properly ?

Took his medicines ?

Had enough water ?

He didn't go out in Sun right ? He isn't used of it in all these months !

Is he sleeping now ?

Why is it feeling like this !?

These were all Jungkook's mind could proceed to think while the deal of millions were getting finalized.

There was a lots of things Jeon Jungkook could do with the unimaginable amount of money and power he had but he knew nothing would work infront of the Love of his life... his dearest Black Rose.

.
.

Jimin couldn't take it at all. He didn't know what to do . Tears were leaving his eyes continuously and he didn't dare to get up from the place at all.

Everything was crashing down. Who thought that the memories he wanted to remember so bad would be like this !?

There were still to remember things but Jimin was overwhelmed already. He wanted to hide so badly, he wanted to be held so badly , he wanted to run into Jungkook's arms so badly but he couldn't.

Jimin was breaking apart as those hatred full words of his beloved rang continuously in his head along with his mother being sick.

The memories that hurt him the most were clouding his mind.

It hurt when he knew Jeon Jungkook didn't love him.

It hurt him so bad when he knew Jeon Jungkook was hurting himself , hiding himself .

It hurt when Taehyung was dissapointed.

It hurt when he wanted to meet his mother but she restrained him again and again.

It hurt him when he thought because of him Jungkook was misunderstanding Taehyung.

It hurt him when he saw Jungkook's tears for the first time.

And it broke him apart when Jungkook walked away without even looking at him for once .

It hurt so bad cause Jimin knew that the older was crying too.

Jimin couldn't put his mind together. He was more lost and all he wanted and needed was Jungkook at that moment.

All this months , Jimin knew nothing but Jungkook's love and care. All he knew was how madly they were in love .

Now Jimin can't think about why Jungkook left him that day ...

Jimin didn't want to believe his memories. He wanted it all to be a nightmare. He couldn't afford not being loved by Jeon Jungkook. He couldn't afford thinking of his Jungkookie hating him.

He couldn't afford thinking that it was all an act... the unreal amount of Love being nothing but an act of pity.

It was like the atmosphere got a hint of the gloominess of Jimin's situation too. The bright sunny day didn't notify of it turning gloomy . The sun got covered with the curtains of dark clouds like Jimin's eyes which were covered with sadness. His cheeks paled just like the sky and soon after the sky accompanied the pearl like yet devastating tears of Jimin.

.
.
.
.

The bus was almost empty, except the drenched , red eyed beautiful boy sitting in one of the window seats with colourless tear streaming down his eyes. His lips, nose and eyes were red and cheeks were pale. He calmed down his violent break down with all he had.

He knew his destination now. Even if it hurts, Jimin was going to do it. Even if didn't have the courage anymore...he was unconsciously trying to remember more.

His throat was dry and he was hungry as well. He threw away his hat and mask in the rain and thankfully now it was empty here in the bus. No way he could have been able to handle people's stares and be crowded.

He was going somewhere his mind was refusing to go but his heart was pulling him there. His heart couldn't let his Love lose.

No, Jimin wasn't running away. Jimin didn't dare to think of
' hating himself ' that easily once again.

He remembered how desperate his boyfriend was, everytime Jimin blamed himself for anything small. His head was hurting with the amount of pressure he has been putting to remember more.

There was more, a lot more but Jimin was hurting badly each time he tried more. He wanted every memory of him to be a lie, a nightmare. He wanted to wake up so bad and find his Jungkookie holding him like all the time, saying Sweet nothings and wrapping him up with love.

He couldn't imagine not being loved by his Jungkookie. He was scared that he'd lose the love once he faces his lover but it has to be today or never again.

Jimin wanted answers .

.
.
.
.

It was pouring outside when the bus stopped infront of somewhere. Jimin could see his destination from a little far away. A humongous building.

And Jimin knew, Jungkook was there. He could feel his heart sinking and the shortening of his breathe.

Currently he was standing on the other side of the road, staring at the building of JJK Empires, Headquarters.

Endless tears clouded Jimin's eyes again as he remembered the first time when he came here along with some hurtful memory of past.

" Cause I love you master..."

" Oh really ? "

" I love you Master..."

" I don't. "

" pretty lies doesn't work every time Jimin...and your lie isn't pretty anymore. It's bitter and screams impurity. Cause you yourself is a dressed lie. "

Jimin couldn't handle anymore as he stomped towards the building without caring about the cars and the merciless rain.

.
.
.
.

Jungkook felt it in his chest that something was wrong. He was uneasy , he couldn't put his mind together. As soon as the meeting ended , Jungkook dialed Jimin's number but to his dismay, it was switched off. His heart sank to his stomach . Without wasting another second ,he dialled Yeonjun's number.

The later picked up in one ring.

" He-Hello ? Hyung ? "

" What is Jimin doing ? How's he ? Is he feeling sick or something ? Give him the phone, I want to talk to him. " Jungkook's bone chilling authorative voice rang through the line making Yeonjun badly nervous but if it was Jimin, he would have easily understood the fear, anxiety and tension behind the dominating tone.

Jungkook was pacing back and forth in his office in his office , ready to rush out any moment and drive back to Busan.

He couldn't care about the act anymore. He felt something was going horribly wrong and he had to do something.

" Ji-Jimin hyung is sleeping... He's okay. He-He ate, to-took his medicines...he was sleepy earlier... I- " Yeonjun felt the worry running through his veins.

" What do you fucking mean that he's sleeping !? It's Damn 4:00 fucking Pm . Have you ever seen him sleep this long !? Huh !? " Jungkook couldn't keep it calm with Yeonjun anymore. It was out of his demeanor in practical to be so patient with people when it came to Jimin.

" I- I..." Yeonjun's voice was shaking badly and Jungkook could hear the boy's sniffles from the other side.

Jungkook clutched his eyes shut out of frustration. He wanted to slam his phone on the marble floor but he tried his best. It was about his Jimin, he would do anything for him.

" listen, listen Yeonjun. Calm down okay. Don't make me repeat. Go to Jimin right now. Okay ? Boy ? " Jungkook said, trying to calm his voice with all his will and he already started to walk towards the door.

Yeonjun surely ran out of his house and without caring about the fence, he jumped in the backyard of Jimin's house.

Jungkook could hear Yeonjun's frantic calls for Jimin through the phone.

" H-Hyung ? Jimin hyung ? A-are you already awake ? "

" Hyung ? Wh-where are you ? "

Yeonjun's worried, scared voice and no reaction from any other voice felt like sharp stabs on Jungkook's chest.

Jungkook's face was already losing it's colours as he also felt the shortening of his breath. The panick was rushing through his veins as he entered his private elevator .

He knew what was coming. He could sense it.

Jungkook could hear Yeonjun screaming Jimin's name and running through their house and outside. Frantically searching for Jungkook's heart himself.

" Yeonjun. " Jungkook's voice sounded like a death call to the crying Yeonjun .

" Hy-Hyung he- Ji-Jimin hy... Jimin hyung- " Yeonjun was shivering and crying and here, Jungkook was feeling his darkest fear drowning him in the deepest sea of panick.

" Is not there. He's not there. I know. "
Jungkook felt his throat getting dry as it even hurt to utter those. His instincts once again didn't lie.

Where was Jeon Jungkook's life himself ? Where was his lover ?

The elevator stopped on the ground floor and the metal door slid apart.

There was long passage infront with a glass wall which separated Jungkook's private outway towards his Garage with the luxurious office loby and main entrance of the office.

Jungkook would have ran towards his garage in that moment if he didn't see someone a little far away from him , in the middle of the office loby with the glass wall between them.

He would have moved if his body didn't freeze the standing figure of a drenched 22 years old beautiful Doll like boy there, looking at him with his unfazed, red eyes , pale face and bluish wobbly lips with his chest heaving up and down.

The people behind him also stood frozen in the moment. It felt like the time had stopped. Everything froze and only Jeon Jungkook and his Destined stood alive.

Jungkook couldn't move, couldn't blink , couldn't move his eyes away from the burning hurtful cold devasted eyes of none other than, his Jimin.

Jungkook knew... that this Jimin knew. He remembered. Those eyes, Jungkook knew those eyes, Jungkook knew the broken destiny and reality was infront of him again.

He felt sick. Jungkook felt like he would lose his breathe anymoment now.

" It is the end ? Why ? No ! It can't be ? He...he isn't going to be with me anymore right ? He'll hate me right ? No no no it can't no no my Jimin , my m-my Jimin ... he's gonna leave me ? No no I - I can't... I can't no - my Jimin, hurt , I hurt him again, he- no no he can't leave me- my Jimin shouldn't be hurt...no no he ca-can't again hate himself no my Jimin- my no ... I can't " All those painful and more painful thoughts hammered inside Jungkook's mind in those painfully long seconds.

Jungkook could feel his eyes burning, heart stopping with the panick and anxiety .

He couldn't imagine his Jimin not being okay, not being with him, not loving him.

It was all silent till Jungkook read the slight moving of Jimin's lips from the other side.

" Ma-master... " Jimin's lips had automatically voiced it out in a whisper but Jungkook knew Jimin too much to understand his lip moving.

Jungkook could feel everything Jimin felt , he could understand Jimin like no one else. After all their souls were made for each other.

And in that moment Jungkook knew... he had lost his everything.

Jimin didn't remember his
" Jungkookie "

Jimin didn't remember the person who madly loved him . Jimin remembered the one who hurt him in the worst possible ways, threw away his pure love, tarnished him with lies.

Jimin didn't remember the person who saw his life and world in him rather he remembered someone who wanted to kill him.

Jimin didn't remember the person who knelt defeated infront him, came back to him everytime...he remembered someone who left him in his worst.

Jimin didn't remember the person who didn't care about anyone but his Jimin, who could do anything for him ...rather he remembered a person who didn't care about anything but revenge.

Did Jimin remembered the person who smiled , cried , griefed, laughed, ran , talk , feel for him ? Or did he only remember that cold facade of ruthlessness who only destroyed Jimin ?

Didn't Jimin remember the person who didn't leave him , held him tenderly in his arms while bleeding and burning himself ? Who begged him to stay with him without caring about his own life ? Who needed him and only him ? Who breathed almost his last breathes for Jimin and willingly let the darkness take over him cause he didn't want to live a life without Jimin ?

Did Jimin remember him ? His and only his Jungkookie ? Who was alive only for him ?

Jungkook's entire body hurt as he saw Jimin stepping backwards with that heartbreaking expression on his ethereal face. Jungkook's brain wasn't processing at that point.

" No- No ... Jimin...Baby no... Please... don't leave me... " A broken whispery plea left Jungkook's mouth as he finally stepped forward as Jimin was stepping backwards.

Jungkook felt the same pain that Jimin felt years back when Jungkook walked away in that cursed night. When all Jimin needed was Jungkook and Jungkook left.

Jungkook ran away from his lover, ran away from his dearest ,who was carrying a life in him, their child .

And right now Jimin was backing away with Jungkook's life slowly starting to fight against his body .

Just like Jimin couldn't utter anything more to stop his lover that day because of pain , guilt, hatred and love... Jungkook could scream Jimin's name and run to him when those red teary eyes raked him and how that stare screamed

" I remembered. I remembered you, Jeon Jungkook. "

" No ! Jimin Please ! Wait ! PLEASE ! BABY DON'T-DON'T LEAVE ME ! " by the time Jungkook screamed out, Jimin ran out of the entrance .

Jungkook felt the insanity taking over him as he ran to stop his lover.

.
.
.

" WHAT !? JI-JIMIN WHAT ? " Taehyung was scared and devastated when he heard the news that Jimin was in Seoul.

Fear corrupted his system as he heard the incidents and immediately ran to his car .

No, he couldn't lose his brother and Best friend again. He was scared for both. Nothing could happen to Jimin, nothing could harm him again...no... Taehyung wouldn't be able to survive it anymore and he knew...he wouldn't be able to save Jungkook either of something happens to Jimin.

.
.
.

No Jungkook couldn't find Jimin . No one could. Every mafia member in Seoul was everywhere, trying to find Jeon Jungkook's heart.

Namjoon , Jin , Yoongi , Hoseok didn't leave one single place without searching in Seoul. The searched for Jimin like they fought for their last breath.

Kai came back to Seoul because of the devastated news and unimaginable amount of guilt cause he was in Busan when all that happened. He restrained his tears as he searched through the roads of the Seoul city which Jungkook had already turned upside down.

Jeon Jungkook was crazy for his lover and the entire city encountered it. But they didn't know that Jungkook wasn't only running for Jimin to find him ...he was finding his dear Black Rose cause he knew how the petals of that beautiful Rose can fall apart.

No Jungkook couldn't cry as he drove to all the places Jimin could have been and where they were together. He was driving once again with that dangerous speed which would cost him his life with one mere mistake. He didn't care. He was breaking apart. He was feeling the death once again.

On the other hand another car followed Jungkook crazily and it was Taehyung. He knew better than to abandon Jungkook now. He couldn't do the mistake again. No he couldn't. He wouldn't let his Best friend hold the hand of eternal darkness again.

Taehyung was crying . He wanted Jimin to remember everything but this ? now he knew why Jungkook was scared all these time. Why he hid everything from Jimin.

And Taehyung called Jungkook selfish.

He was driving his best to follow Jungkook but it was hard.

It was already 12:00 am of the scary unfortunate dark night. The rain didn't stop nor slowed down, it only worsened. Seemed like the sky was breaking apart like Jungkook's life.

Taehyung was so scared at this point. He uselessly dialed Jimin's number Again and again, praying that the younger would pick up , he would be okay and save Jungkook like everytime but no.... nothing happened.

Jimin was the only person who could stop Jungkook from dying tonight and Jimin was the person who's sight, who's wellbeing Jungkook desperately craved.

It was few moments after when Taehyung lost track of Jungkook's car. His heart hurt, he was more scared.

They were searching for Jimin in the entire Seoul for hours. Jungkook ran here to there like a madman in search of his Jimin and now hours after when there was no sign of Jimin... Taehyung felt like dying.

Taehyung mind rejected to think the worse. No... nothing could happen to Jimin right ?

Taehyung speeded up his car in the highway where he lost track of Jungkook.

After few solid tensioning moment he saw Jungkook's car in the roadside with it's door open. Taehyung could feel his heart stopping. He stopped his car and got out in the rain now accompanied by thunderstorms.

He ran towards the car but Jungkook wasn't there. He was about to call for him when he heard Jungkook desperate voices.

" JIMIN ? JIMINNN !? BABY WHERE ARE YOU !? "

" JIMIN ? y-you said you'll always wait for me ? "

" Where are you Jiminie !? "

" See I'm back here again ! I left you here that night .... I... stupid, I know... I left... I did..."

" But you were here... waiting - Jimin"

" Please- I can't... Ji-Jimin..."

" I came back see... like everytime... I don't know where to go... I'm lost... Please...."

" Doll ! My Dear Dollie... where are you "

Taehyung could only see a familiar silhouette in the rain screaming in the middle of the road and it was his best friend.

A car was coming from the opposite direction with high speed and Taehyung knew it'd hit Jungkook in seconds.

" Jimi- " Jungkook couldn't finish as Taehyung pulled his aside in the very last second.

" Jungkook ! Stop ! " Taehyung screamed clutching Jungkook's shoulders . He almost lost his best friend again. Taehyung's tears were washing away with the rain as he searched for Jungkook's eyes which were covered with his long raven strands.

Jungkook looked up at Taehyung but his eyes were distant. Almost like they didn't recognise Taehyung. They were red and lost.

Taehyung could see the same Jungkook infront of him who fell lifeless in his lap years back.

" Ji-Jimin ? Where is he ? He was here you know ? He always waits for me...he does..." Jungkook said like he couldn't even grasp the reality right now.

Taehyung felt Jungkook's burning skin under his hold even in the cold rain. The later was burning with fever.

" Ju-jungkook listen to m-me... Jimin is not here " Taehyung tried but Jungkook wasn't listening as he pushed away Taehyung.

" No...you don't...you don't fucking know. I know... I do. He...He always waited...he d- " Jungkook could complete his words as he fell back on the road remembering that time when Jimin waited for him in that bench nearby at a raining night like this. He saw Jimin and Jimin only in his eyesight.

" I know... I do...get up please... Jungkook get up... we'll find him...he can't leave you. He loves you Jungkook... he'd never. " Taehyung couldn't stop his tears as he tried to hold Jungkook's forearm but Jungkook didn't buzz.

" He sh-should...he should leave me...he should right ? You too wanted that right ? " Jungkook asked looking at Taehyung with his emotionless red eyes and Taehyung felt his heart break into million pieces.

" N-no..." Taehyung answered.

" You did... you did right. But He left me already...he did...my Jimin...he... I... couldn't stop him... I tried you know...so badly but I - "

" I failed him once again. I lost him. " Jungkook said with his voice breaking finally, he looked down . He chuckled sadly may be willing tears this time.

" No...no you didn't ! I'm your best friend , taelien! Don't you trust me at all ? I'm saying that he can never leave you ! He can ever not love you Kookah..." Taehyung didn't know what to say anymore .

" Ta-Tae...can you do one thing for me please..." Taehyung was shocked at Jungkook's sudden words and the way he held Taehyung's hand with both his hands.

" Wh-what ? " Taehyung's heart jack hammered against his ribcage cause he knew this Jungkook. He saw this situation years ago that night where Jungkook begged him for Jimin. It was like his last plea and Taehyung couldn't bear it once again.

" Please find him... Please do... even if I'm not there... Please do find him Tae...he le-left me right ? Not you... I don't deserve him but you do. You're the best brother you know right..." Jungkook said looking straight at Taehyung's eyes and Taehyung could feel the immense pain in his chest caused by those heart breaking words of the Jeon Jungkook who everyone called a monster, whom he himself called Selfish.

" No Jungkook no don't- " Taehyung couldn't complete.

" Please. It's my request...all I want him to be happy and safe... All I want is... Him to be loved, cherished like he deserves...he is hurting Tae... he's hurt...my Jimin is hurt...not anymore please. Go...go away from me... it's me whom he's avoiding... you'll find him once I'm not here anymore. " Jungkook said .

Taehyung couldn't say anything. He never could... against Jungkook .

" My Jimin shouldn't be hurt anymore please... I did enough. Please find him Tae... Please do...if he...if he remembered his identity... I...you... know... Please go..." Jungkook pushed away Taehyung to make him get up.

" No no Kookah...no... the only person he needs is you and only you " Taehyung protested as Jungkook stood up .

Jungkook shook his head . He looked broken and Taehyung knew...if Jungkook looks broken, he's shattered inside.

" No he doesn't. I never was needed. An unwanted misfortune, that's what I am , always was in his life. Not anymore. Go away. Please Tae... I know you'd find him. All I want to know is... he's safe, sound and healthy. " Jungkook said slowing stepping back from Taehyung.

" I... I love him Tae...so much...so much that I can never convey it... But I wouldn't be selfish anymore. All that matters to me is...his happiness...his wellbeing. Nothing more... I need nothing more. " Jungkook said shaking his head and he stumbled back towards his car .
Taehyung tried to follow him but Jungkook stopped him.

" I promised to love him forever Tae... forever after death. And if his happiness is meant without me in the picture. Let it be. " Jungkook said with a heart breaking smile in the corner of his lips.

Taehyung felt lost and devastated.

" He deserves the world Tae...my Jimin deserves the world and I ruined it all. Single-handedly I shattered all his dreams and him. Yet I selfishly held him back. " Jungkook said and Taehyung again tried to approach Jungkook but he raised his hand and it was...as always like a royal command.

" I saw his eyes today... I don't deserve to look at them Tae... I never did. I caused his tears and only that. " Jungkook said resting his hand on his car hood, unable to hold himself on his feet for any long.

" But you love him like no one ever did and no-one can ever do Kookah ! You made him alive, you made him smile, you built his courage and confidence again ! You taught him his life all over again ! You love him much more than anyone would ever understand or you'd ever be able to convey Kookah ! " Taehyung yelled with tears.

" I... I didn't do anything Tae... I just selfishly tagged myself along with a fallen angel. I never could do anything. Could I do anything when he was hurting ? Could I do anything when he was suffering from death pain ? Could I do fucking anything when my...my Jimin...my baby shot himself ? When he laid there with all that blood covering him, our child in him !? Huh !? No ! I was useless...all along I was useless. " Jungkook screamed

And years after Taehyung realised something... Jungkook never shot Jimin and all these time Taehyung has misunderstood Jungkook.

" Could I do fucking anything when he was almost dying in my arms ? When all he did was love and only love me ? No... I never could do anything. Just like I couldn't save Mom... dad... I failed my Jimin too. " Jungkook said and got inside his car.

Taehyung ran towards him but Jungkook already closed the door.

" Don't care about me Tae... don't. Even death itself hates me... Please find my Jimin... Please do..."

With that Jungkook drove away, leaving a shocked, devastated, lost Taehyung on the middle of the highway .

" Could you leave someone
' for their happiness'
...whom you promised to love forever ? "
