Hold on - Chord Overstreet

Warning: Attempt suicide scene

_________

Taehyung inhales the nicotine of his cigarette, looking up at the sky filled with stairs outside of Jimin's apartment. This is one of the reasons why he likes coming outside, the stars outside of Jimin's apartment looks so close up.

Almost as if you could get on your toes, maybe you'll catch a star in your hands.

Sadly that's not the case, Taehyung has tried it.

How unfortunate.

"Why are you still with that kid?"

Taehyung takes in a long drag of his cigarette, looking over to his elder brother with eyes narrowed down, "Why wouldn't I be? He's a cute litte pet to have."

The words only made Seokjin scoff under his breath, leaning against the bricked wall, "He's a depressed kid who attempts suicide as though it was a daily routine like brushing your teeth. What's the point in you just toying with him like this? Make him more miserable?"

Taehyung couldn't help himself from chuckling lowly, flickering his cigarette to the ground with lazy eyes staring at Seokjin, "That what makes it fun. I could easily kill him, but I don't want to. I want him to want to live. I want him to beg me to spare his life."

"But why?" Seokjin continues to ask, arms crossed, "If the kid wants to die just do him that favor, easy."

A heavy scowl plasters Taehyung's face in annoyance, "Well that's no fun, now isn't it?" He huffs and turns to the door, "I'm done with this conversation, have fun with your detective."

He could hear his brother's scoff before he closed the door behind him, smirking as he moves down the lobby and moves up the stairs to go back to Jimin's apartment, hoping to actually get some rest on the couch for the first time since it hasn't exactly been so comfortable so to speak.

That's something he'll just have to deal with since he has to make sure Jimin won't do something completely stupid.

He's a hassle, definitely is a determined little fucker, but it gave Taehyung something to do so it made it worthwhile.

At the end of the day, this will all be the most perfect death he has ever done before.

It'll be so beautifully tragic yet majestic.

Just thinking about all the plans he has got Taehyung feeling all giddily inside, unable to hide his full excitment as he gets inside of the apartment.

Nothing really seems out of the ordinary from when Taehyung left, so he goes to check on Jimin before heading to sleep himself.

The second he opened the door, letting the light of the living room flash inside, Taehyung felt his heart stop beating.

Jimin hangs from a perfectly done sheet on his neck, body slowly losing it's defensive shaking to desperately gasp for oxygen with his eyes fluttering from as the life chips away from his soul.

Something inside Taehyung completely snapped.

Now in complete panic.

What the fuck!

His feet instantly bolts inside the room before it can sink in what's going on and instantly wraps his arm around Jimin's legs, lifting him up so the rope isn't choking him so tightly. He quickly goes to remove the restraint from his neck and Jimin's body completely collaspse on him, like a motionless doll.

Taehyung drops to the floor with him in his arms, patting Jimin's face but the other doesn't flutter his eyes open. This only sky rocketed Taehyung horrified emotions, checking his neck to feel any pulses or his chest to feel any lingering heart beats.

He's not breathing.

Instantly he tilts Jimin's head back, arching his neck up and lowering his chin so his lips are parted. Taehyung moves to his legs and raise them over his shoulder in a straight line, counting under his breath but Jimin doesn't react and that made Taehyung much more anxious.

He's not dead.

He's not going to die.

No, not yet.

It's so soon.

"You're not going to fucking die," Taehyung mutters bitterly puts his legs down before getting to work on CPR, starting with mouth to mouth before doing chest compressions, "Wake up tiny, wake up!"

Four sets later and Jimin still hasn't woken up and Taehyung now feels the tears burning his eyes, shaking his head, "Wake up! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO DIE YET!" Now he presses harder against his chest, not caring if he's a compression away from breaking a bone in his body.

"PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!"Taehyung finally screams with his whole chest, the tears now gliding down his cheeks in hysterical gushes, "WAKE UP JIMIN!"

After the sixth try, Jimin gasps air and takes a sharp breath inwards, choking now as the oxygen rushes back into his body. Taehyung instantly sets him on his side in a recovery position, in case he throws up, sighing in relief with eyes squeezed shut to stop his tears.

Fuck he's alive.

He's alive.

Jimin gasps a few more breathes before looking around in surprise, almost as though he's confused to what the fuck just happened. This didn't stop Taehyung from yanking him to his chest, holding him tightly while burying his face on his head.

He's breathing.

His heart is racing.

Jimin is alive.

He's alive.

"You stupid bitch," Taehyung shudders, digging his fingers to his back, inhaling his scent candy through his nose, "Don't do that! I was scared that I wasn't going to kill you anymore! Fuck!"

He could feel Jimin's body shaking under his arms, clearly in a state of shock to what happened, and that only made Taehyung hold him more endearing to his chest, "I want to be the one to kill you, stop scaring me like that! It's pissing me off! Okay!"

Then he hears it, the faint sniff from Jimin's small quivering body, that followed by more and more hiccups and sudden sobs. This moment of complete vulnerability he clenches his fists to Taehyung's shirt, burying his face against his chest.

"I c-can't take it anymore," Jimin wails brokenheartedly "I want to die."

Taehyung couldn't fight back that small scowl from his lips, pressing his lips against the crown of his head, "All you have to do it beg to be alive, and mean it. I will  kill you the second you want to live, okay."

"P-Promise?"

He nods back with his body slowly cooling down, "I promise I will kill you, no matter what," He says back, now feeling a sudden spikes of annoyance to what just happened sink in more his cold heart.

Jimin once again tried to kill himself.

Behind his back.

He didn't listen to him.

Silly boy.

The thought only fueled Taehyung with more anger and his fingers on Jimin's back digs deeper with a twitching rage, "You tried you take your life away tiny, you know what that means right?"

Jimin's body evidently tenses up, his breath shuddering when Taehyung's fingers drag down his body as though he's clawing him through his shirt.

Oh no..

"Time to be punished."
