How would you describe a scene of sorrow with nothing but just an eery silence of mourning hanging in the air?

Will you cry?

Will you yell out of frustration?

It was painful to see the body of the Pure Soul left resting on the ground. The Angel of Hope took a while to say a silent prayer but never the less brought his own shaky arms to embrace the boy beside him.

Hobi allowed the torrent of Jimin's tears to soak through his shirt, feeling the human anchor's fists clenched by his side, not knowing whether to be mad or to give up hope altogether. Ironically, with the Angel of Hope by his side, Jimin has never felt so hopeless.

His silent screams, suffocated alongside his breath ran through Angel Hope as the celestial's grip on the blond tightens, trying to comfort the silent war going on within Jimin's mind.

"No...It can't be...H-Hobi...my Tae taehyungie... why???"

"Jimin, I will explain all this in a while. We have to depart this ground, it is no longer safe for us or Taehyung." said Hobi.

Archangel Jin saw how Hobi was so into holding Jimin in his arms, muffling his own cries on top of the blond head, disabling him to function.

"Angel of Hope, please. We need to leave. It's about time."

Hobi looked up from his kneeled position with Jimin on the ground, taking in the sorrowful face of the Highest Archangel of the heavenly realm. It looked defeated and guilty.

"Y-Yes Archangel Jin."

Angel Hope closed his eyes, praying to the Divine for strength and slowly he rose to his feet with Jimin quavering in his arms, ambled towards the lifeless body by the Oak tree.

.

A pool of golden velvet liquid together with stains of bloody red drenched the shirt which was thrown over the Pure Soul. Part of his chest visibly showing the stabbing mark of the dagger which ran through his heart by the raven head.

Jimin approached his friend, Taehyungie, his warm hand falling softly on the brown head's cold skin. He places his hand over Taehyung's stained chest that does not rise or fall, that contains no heartbeats.

His tears splash against the brown head's naked body and as he leaned down to kiss Taehyung's forehead, they rain down onto his closed eyes, silently marking the pain he was feeling sinking in the reality of his lost friend.

"Please, take Taehyungie away to a safe place. Let him rest."

The newfound peace and existing punching of pain in his heart do not stop the blond to speak out what his heart desires. He wanted his soul friend to find peace and he will make sure, Taehyungie is safe wherever he is now.

"We will Jimin. We will. Let me do the honours."

Archangel Jin nodded gently to Angel Hope, asked him to hold onto Jimin while he kneeled down, wings widespread behind his back as his whole self engulfed the lifeless body in front of him.

Within a minute, Archangel Jin managed to dress Taehyung's body in a pair of pants and took him gently in his arms, as if the Pure Soul didn't weight a single pound.

"We shall leave now."

Angel Hope nodded, arms still around the blond, spreading his own wings wide, and let the cold and icy air to brush them through. He hated it. He hated the cold breeze in this earth, so lifeless, so dark and evil.

"I-I will leave then, but H-Hobi, can you visit me after this?" said Jimin, in no particular emotion.

"We are going together Jimin. You are not being left alone here on earth for now." Archangel Jin said, voice strong and firmly ringing in the air, radiating a glow in the midst of the dark ambience all four were located in.

"B-but..."

"By the Divine, relax Jimin. I will take care of you." Angel Hope ran his hand up and down the back of the shaking boy, assuring him with so much tender love and care.

Jimin looked into the soft brown eyes, although it's been clogged with unshed tears, red roots shooting across the eyes, it still looked warm and comforting.

"For you worry not Jimin, your parents will be taken care of. The Angels of heaven will be with them." Archangel Jin spoke, quieting the worries bubbling in Jimin's chest when he starts wondering about his family.

"And Tae's too." Archangel Jin added.

Jimin's lips gave out a trembling weak smile, appreciating the care that these two angels were pouring on him as his eyes found it's way to the lifeless body on the elder Angel's arms.

"Come Jimin, Taehyungie will want you with him through every step of the way."

Angel Hope guided the boy beside him, standing closer to Archangel Jin and Taehyung as all three of them formed a triangular circle, with Taehyung's body protected in the middle.

"Tae...I miss you already." Jimin closed his eyes, hands holding the brown head's limped fingers, allowing the Angels to take wherever they planned to, mind wondering to the boxy smile which he started to miss terribly.

Rest well Taehyungie, you will be taken care of.

Jimin's mind flashed all the possible memories it could hold since the day he bumped into the Pure Soul at the playground when he was 5 to just days ago catching a butterfly in the University ground.

Life is so cruel. They took his first true friend away.

.

.

A fresh wave of wind enveloped the blond's tiny frame as he continued to hold his friend's lifeless hand in his own. It was probably less than a second or so, as his feet no longer touching the solid ground which he is used to.

Now, he felt like it was landed on a bed of soft cotton clouds.

Jimin slowly opened his eyes, first looking at Taehyung's peaceful face, as if he was in a deep sleep, lashes gently brushing his ungodly face making him look as soft as a feather.

"Jimin, will you be alright if I let you off my hold?"

The blond hair attention turns to the angelic voice ringing in his ear.

Hobi.

Yes, it was the Angel of Hope, but he did not look like what he looked seconds ago. Clothes are already changed into a sheer white silky material, making him glow with a soft, warm light looking like the sun itself.

Jimin blinked his eyes and creased his eyes into a deeper furrow as he looked blankly at Hobi.

"Hmm?" hummed the blond, trying to stop his mind from wandering into all the places he doesn't wish to go. More precisely, to the image of an icy blond male, with skin porcelain, eyes as dark as the midnight sky.

"My dear Jiminie, I asked if you will be ok if I let you off my grip?" Angel Hope's soft fingers tingled down Jimin's baby cheeks.

"Oh." Jimin nodded and let himself go from Hobi's grip. "Yea, I will be fine."

Hobi nodded and took a step back, staying in a distance away from the blond but at the same time close enough to catch him if he tumbles along since they are not on the solid ground anymore.

"Woah...."

Jimin's head took an unhealthy spin as he allowed his gaze to drop to the floor which he was dying to inspect.

"Careful Jimin. It works just the same as your floor on earth, but you might want to get used to how breeze and light it feels to avoid any unwanted incident." Angel Hope warned his blond boy.

Jimin nodded and did not dare to move an inch but still took his body, faced Archangel Jin who was still cradling Taehyung in his arms.

"Taehyung?" asked Jimin, pointing at his friend.

"He will be placed in his chamber Jimin. You can follow Angel Hope for a change and meet me later. I will have Taehyung with me."

"But no! I need to be with him."

"Jimin, let us follow Archangel Jin's guidance, we need to get you more comfortable in this realm. I am sure you are not a single per cent accustomed to what is happening nor you fully understand, my little one." Angel Hope tried to pacify the blond head.

"No, I will not leave Tae's side. I-I have already lost him...P-please don't make me leave during his last few moments he is still here with me." Jimin's clogged cries returned slowly staining his cheeks.

"Jimin."

Archangel Jin said in a very calming tone.

The blond head immediately felt compelled to look at the owner of the voice. Archangel Jin is not commanding the human anchor to obey him, but it was his status as the Highest Archangel of the heavenly realm has the effect of glory and power when he speaks.

"Y-yes?"

"Jimin, follow Angel Hope, refresh yourself. Meet me at the chamber. I promise you, it won't be the last time you see Taehyung."

Archangel Jin did not wait for the blond's respond, he allowed his wings to ride him on the clouds he was standing, headed towards a personal chamber with the lifeless boy in his arms.

The aura in the heavenly realm felt extra heavy upon the entry of the four individuals from the Garden of Nem, it can't be helped that the heaven is mourning for the death of their Pure Soul, their Taehyungie, the favourite child of the Divine.

They can only hope for a peaceful send-off, in the midst of the darkness and evil breaking loose at the realms beneath them.

May the Divine's plan work to bring the balance, or else, there will no longer be a need for the celestials of heaven to remain the peace and protect the humanity as per the need of their very own existence.
