A joyful looking boy with the brightest smile on his face glimmered under the warm, glistening sunlight illuminating the day. He was sitting on a tree branch, dangling his feet swinging it happily back and fourth.

Serenity.

One word which described how he felt.

A younger perky looking boy threw a pebble at the other, trying to capture his attention. He missed his first two throws. They say third time's the charm and yes indeed, he hit his target.

"Ow, Jiminie. What was that for?" The older scowled. "Come down and play with me, hyung!" The younger adorably pleaded.

"No, go play with your alien best friend"

"No can do. He's probably love making with Jungkook right now. I hear moaning, banging and their bed most probably broke due to the vigorous thrusting"

The older rolled his eyes in disbelief. Youngsters nowadays, such yellow minded brains and uncontrollable hormones they have. He eventually went down the treetop. As soon as he was down, Jimin ran up and jumped on him. "Piggyback meeee"

"Aish you're heavy" the younger didn't care, pushing down his weight on the elders back, adding more pressure to it. As much as the elder was tired to entertain his gimmicks, he piggyback him from one end of the bridge to the next.

"More more!" The younger squealed like a little anime girl.

"That's it for today, Jiminie. I'm tired"

"Fine alright. I guess you're turning old, hyung. You get tired easily"

"Well hello, I am over a 100 years old. You gotta remember that" he scoffed.

"Oh yeah.. Hyung.. Umm.. I wanna be human"

That sentence intrigued the older. "Why the sudden decision?"

"I want to live a normal life. I want to die and not be immortal but most importantly, I want to be happy with my special someone"

The elder's expression gradually turned gloomy hearing that Jimin has a special someone in his heart. He shut his eyes, staying silent, only the gentle rustling of the trees can be heard. As he fluttered his eyes open, he glance over at Jimin with a smile on his face and asked, "So who is it?"

The younger flashed a wide grin and replied, "If you want to find out, you have to play another game with me"

The elder groaned, "Not again. But fine, what game?"

"Truth or dare!" He spread his arms wide, swinging them in the air.

"Why does it always have to be that game?" The elder muttered to himself but since he wants to know who it was, he hesitantly played along.

The both of them rock, paper, scissor to determined who goes first. The older was the loser therefore Jimin got the lead.

"Yay I'm first! Truth or dare?"

"Hmm dare"

"Kiss me"

"On the cheek?"

"Nope, hyung. On my lips" he smirked.

The elder was flabbergasted. Why would Jimin ask him to do that? Erasing all his second thoughts, the elder went ahead to plant a short kiss on the younger's pillow soft lips. He leaned back but was stopped by the younger who deepen the kiss. It felt as if the kiss electrified his entire body. He felt recharged, happier, livelier as if he was on cloud 9. Despite feeling all the sensation, the elder broke the kiss.

"Jimin... Why?"

"You wanted to know who I love right?"

"But Jimin... I thought you love.."

"Jimin! Jimin! Wake up!" His best friend shook his body vigorously.

"Hyung! Where are you!" Jimin jolted up from his bed, cold sweat dripping not only on his face but his entire body, he was shivering. "Hyung.. Please come back" he curled up in a ball, continuously rocking back and fourth staring blankly at the wall.

"Shh shh, it's going to be alright. I'm here. We are here" his best friend brought him closer to his chest, gently stroking his hair in a comforting manner. The rest who circled around his bed had worry plastered on their faces especially Yoongi.

"I want my hyung back, I want my hyung back" he repeated that phrase like a broken record, still shivering. He looks half dead with his puffy red eyes which worsened from all the hours of crying. Then again, crying was the only way he could cradle himself to sleep.

He hasn't been eating well, he is unwilling to step outdoors or communicate with people. None of that. All he does is lock himself up in the room, reading the farewell letter which is now soaked with his tears. It has been occurring for almost a week now. The once healthy annoying Park Jimin is now a bony piece of pure sadness.

The others tried many ways to help soothe him down but none of it work. Yoongi even ventured out together with Sungoh to find Hoseok but still, no sign of him. Nobody knew where he could be.

"What should we do? I'm worried sick for him" Taehyung said in a low tone when they left the room.

"The only thing to do now is to fake a letter" Yoongi suggested. "You mean give him false hope? That doesn't sound nice" Jungkook added in.

"But if that's the only way then better consider it" the redhead replied before making his way downstairs.

"I think that's a good idea, babe. I'm sure you would want to see Jimin smiling again" Jungkook encouraged his lover, kissing him on the lip.

"B-but.." Jungkook planted another kiss, "No buts. We are doing it, for Jimin. Alright?"

The older one eventually agreed. They both went into their room and Jungkook started writing at his best capability to make it look like Hoseok's handwriting. The final result of what would happen next all lies in the hands of the creative maknae. If he manage to pull this off, then there's a glimpse of hope all of them would get to see their kind hearted, jumpy boy again.

"And I'm done! What do you think?" Jungkook passed the paper for Taehyung to read.

Hey Jiminie~

I hope you're doing better now. I'm sure you are (: how about me? Well I'm doing just fine. Jimin, remember what I say okay? Be happy. I don't want you to ever feel sad because that's not the guy I know. The Jimin I first laid eyes on is kind, sweet-tempered, understanding and the most considerate person ever. You were always the pillar of strength for the people around you.

Even Taehyung once told me that when it comes to protection, he would depend on you. See, that's how merciful you are. Don't ever change that. Hey, I miss you with all my heart. Take care of yourself. Saranghae <3

Sincerely,
Jung Hoseok

"Wow I'm surprised. This is really good! Thanks babe!" Taehyung hugged the younger.

"So what do I get in return if this works?"

"You'll know soon" Taehyung sexily growled at his lover.

"Now scoot! Go over and give it to him"

Taehyung walked turtle speed to his best friend's room, peeking at the corner to make sure the coast was clear. That Jimin wasn't crying or throwing bad tantrums.

"Go away" was the unwelcoming words of his bestfriend but Taehyung calmly sat down at the edge of his bed, passing the letter to him.

"Read. It's a letter from Hoseok"

Jimin's eyes widen in shock. He quickly tore up the envelope, not caring where the source of the letter came from and read the content.

"I miss and love you too, hyung" he spoke in an inaudible tone as he placed the paper down on his lap.

"What does he say?"

"He wants me to remain my old self"

Taehyung scooted closer, placing a hand on his bestfriend's slumped shoulders. "See, even he wants you to be happy"

After days of mourning, Jimin finally managed to crack a small smile which made Taehyung jump up in joy. "Yes finally my bestfriend is smiling! Let's go down and join the rest?"

"Come let me piggyback you!" Jimin suddenly remembered his dream on how Hoseok was the one giddying him around. He happily obliged to Taehyung's request. Laughter started to echo as they made their way downstairs.

As if on cue, the doorbell rang. Taehyung ran towards the door, still carrying his bestfriend who felt light as a feather on his back. He carefully break free from Taehyung's grip and stood next to him.

The younger one unlocked the door to reveal a young looking lady on his doorstep.

"Hi! Is this the Kim residence?"

"Yes. What can I help you with?"

"I'm Jung Hoseok's older sister" she extended her hand out while the other two exchanged glances with each other. Startled. They never knew he had an older sister, a gorgeous one too.

"Umm hello?"

"Oh my bad!" Taehyung snapped out from his thoughts and shook her hand, Jimin too.

"If you're looking for Hoseok, he is not staying here anymore"

"I know" was her simple reply. Her face seemed expressionless.

"So your purpose of coming here is because?"

"My purpose of coming here is to tell you that..." She paused, looking away from the two of them as her lips started to tremble. "Hoseok is no longer with us"

Taehyung glanced over at his bestfriend who stared at her in amazement. "What do you mean no longer with us? He just send me a letter, look!" He unfolded the letter to show her proof.

"No. That's not his handwriting" she passed back the letter and Jimin scrutinize it once more. He glanced at his bestfriend who was caught red handed. "You faked this didn't you? What the heck Tae!"

"I'm sorry! I can't take it anymore seeing you cry and grief the couple of days, it's not as if Hoseok is dead!"

"He is"

They sharply tilted their heads back to the young lady. "I'm sorry, come again?"

"He is" her knees felt weak, kneeling to the ground. Tears streaming down her cheeks. She looked up at them with sorrow in her eyes.

"I came here to tell you that Hoseok is dead"
