05. Final Farewell

"Jimin! No! Don't kill yourself!"

"Let me go, Tae! What's the use of living anyway? The love of my life is dead. Let me join him" he pointed a dagger to his heart, his skin looking as white as snow, his dry lips looking like a winter smile.

"Please Jimin, I'm sure that's not what Hoseok would have wanted"

"How would you know what he would have wanted?! You're not him so shut the heck up and allow me to kill myself!" He added more pressure, the tip of the dagger slicing it's way into his heart. Blood started to flow down his chest as the sharp object is now a quarter in.

"Please stop now!" Another voice intervene. It was Hoseok's older sister. She walked towards Jimin, pulling out the dagger. "Your friend is right. This wouldn't be what my younger brother would have wanted" she then started to mumble a few gibberish words, within a couple of seconds, the wound was gone. No traces of blood nor a cut.

So she's a witch. A feisty one.

Still facing Jimin, she continued speaking "Hoseok did tell me about you. You should have seen his face" she chuckled "His face sparks up each time he mentions your name. He would list out so many things. Things like your funny little laugh or the way you smile"

Jimin managed to form a faint smile hearing her delightful words. But that's not all.

"He loves you, Park Jimin. With all his heart. So do not hurt yourself. That's the best farewell gift you can give to him. Be happy" she smiled, giving the younger a comforting tap on the shoulder.

"I'm also here to give a parting gift" she took out a small golden coloured object from the paper bag she held earlier on and passed it to the younger.

"A cremation urn" was all that she said when she handed it over. "Wait" Taehyung interrupted, "You cremated his body?"

"Yes. That was what my family wanted"

Silence lingered throughout the room. "I'm sorry. I did what I came here to do. I shall take my leave now" she turned and walked towards the door.

"Noona, wait!" She looked down at the hand that was placed on her shoulder "Thank you" she tugged a small smile, patting the younger's hand twice. Without looking back, she exited the house. That's probably the first and last they will see of her.

"Jimin.."

"No. I'll be alright" he shifted back to the rest of them, making eye contact with his best friend "Sorry for earlier. I didn't mean to be harsh, Tae. We cool?" He extended his hand out but his bestfriend pulled him in for a hug instead.

"Of course man. And don't apologize" he broke free from the hug "I totally understand. I would have reacted the same if I lost my other half" with a contented smile on his face, Taehyung tilted his head to face his golden maknae.

The love of his life.

The little one stepped closer, intertwining his fingers with his lover. "You two" Jimin spoke "Please remain this way forever. You both deserve each other. Tae, thank you for everything"

"Thank you for?"

"Thank you for always being there for me. For not only being my best friend but the best brother I could ever ask for. But I think it's time I move on with my life"

Jungkook gave a light reassuring squeeze when he noticed the sadness in his lover's eyes. "I understand but where to?"

"No idea. Someplace I could find serenity"

"Let me join you" the redhead joined in the conversation. As angry as Jimin still is with his hyung, he knew he had to let it go. Hoseok's words started to ring inside his head.

Give Yoongi a chance... Be happy...

"Alright" Yoongi definitely didn't expect that answer. He was slightly taken aback but relieved at the same time. "Start packing, hyung. Twenty minutes"

Taehyung's POV

Everyone is leaving. Even dad, mum and Sungoh decided to do so. Why? Because they want to try to sort out their differences and work things out. I decided not to follow so I could be with Jungkook. I feel jovial to receive my parents blessings on our relationship. It truly means everything to me.

Jungkook and I decided to journey on too. We decided to find The Cure so we could be regular mortals. He only has a week left before summer break come to an end. Well of course during every break, you'll have assignments or a project to complete. He told me that his teacher had asked the class to start writing a story. In any genre but it has to be classified under non-fiction.

Thus he came up with a book titled Truth or Dare? He will update it every now and then using us as his characters. Sadly, he couldn't include the intimate sexual scenes since the book has to be rated PG. It's intriguing and I'm surprised with his final result.

Right now, facing us is three different pathways. We are taking the middle road, while Jimin and Yoongi took the left and my family members took the right. Before venturing on, I requested that we each leave our initials to make it as a starting point and if we ever step back here again, we would repeat the same thing and soon this place would be filled with different initials and other people that pass by here would follow our footsteps.

By leaving their initials too.

To make it special, we used our own blood to mark it. After we were done, all of us switched hugs with each other. I took the longest with my family. Now, I too have a protection amulet around my wrist so mum could sense where I am anywhere, anytime.

"Hey wait. What about this.. We will come back here again the same date and time we did today" the rest nodded reassuringly with a smile on their faces.

It is now 1617 hours, 7th August 2015.

"Alright. Let's do this"

A breath of cold gusty wind brush through his skin as he watched the whispering waves crashing against the shore. He exhale in the fresh, earthy smell of the clear ocean. A figure of a young woman stood beside him.

"So do you think they bought it?"

"Definitely" she answered.

"That's good"

"But why? I don't understand why you would do this"

"I guess it's a little too late to say that now. What's done is done"

"I know but how can you bear to see him with someone else? You love him, don't you?"

"Exactly. I love him too much to be able to let him go"

"Hoseok, you're unbelievable"

They stare up the beautiful pastel blue sky with puffy cotton candy clouds, birds spreading their wings wide, soaring up high. The two siblings went their separate ways to start a new chapter on their lives.

They know it's challenging to advance further on their own since supernaturals are continuously being hunted down. Unfortunately, they are both adults with different objectives in life.

Therefore, it's time to close the old book and create a new one. A better one, hopefully.

It is now 1617 hours, 8th of August.

"Hmm interesting spot. Wouldn't hurt to leave mine as well"

Hoseok was here.

It's a bittersweet final farewell. If they managed to spot his initials there, wonder what would happen a year later?

One thing is for sure. A special one-course meal would be served on the table and everyone would be looking forward to savor it's every piece of flesh, sucking it's blood dry from its skull down to its feet.

Three words: Gateway to Hell
