Stars...

There were thousands of shining stars lighting up the night sky. My body was lying down, curved into a ball, my gaze was set on the beautiful dark sky. The only sound that echoed throughout the area was the clattering of the rows as we cut through the thick water.

Someone might have mistaken me for a corpse. My frozen numb body was lying almost lifeless in the boat. It was not my breathing nor my heartbeat that ceased, it was my soul that was arrested. My lips were blasted because of the constriction as they froze, my heartbeat was getting slower.

I must have cried for hours, I sobbed until I finally collapsed unconsciously on Taehyung's arms.

There I fluttered my eyelashes as I woke up. The first thing I saw was the stars above us.

A tear welled up my orbs, it rolled down my cold skin.

"See the star up there? That's the star I'm taking you to..."

I had no more tears to cry out anymore. I stared at the stars with a frozen gaze. My heart twisted with pain. It felt like someone was holding it and squeezing it tightly to take away my life. I inhaled slow breaths, exhaling clouds of puffs into the air. The cold that night was slowly killing me. I could feel my body temperature getting low.

My whole body was paralyzed.

The screams and pleas of the people subdued with time. As time ran, the screams for help were no longer echoing, it was silence as heck.

A deadly silence.

I kept staring at the beautiful stars. They were twinkling just like Jungkook's deep lovely eyes did. The pain was killing me, the pain of his loss was driving me crazy.

He was gone...Jungkook was gone...

"You promised me to be right next to me..." I whispered to the air, looking at the bright star that was shining brightly. My voice was hoarse, I could barely speak.

"You promised that you'll never leave me Jungkook," My voice broke as I whispered. Big fat tears rolled down my cheeks, making my vision blur.

I kept looking at the sky for hours until the dusk turned to dawn. The night was fading away, and the days of hope were smooching us. Weak sun rays peeped through the clouds and waved at us as if nothing tragic had occurred a few hours ago.

I slowly raised my head to catch a glimpse of the surroundings. Dozens of other boats were rowing around us, they all were rowing in one specific direction. I glanced at the front where we were headed to.

The rising sun was peering through the horizon. In the far, I saw hope, a savior that had come to save us.

It was a gigantic ship, floating glamorously on the water bed. She stood majestically, her aura made people cheer in happiness. They all were going to be saved. A savior had come.

We were rowing towards the ship. I was there like a mere stature, blankly staring at the ship. I saw Taehyung together with the men, using all their strengths on the oars to row.

A hand wrapped around me, taking me to an embrace.

She was quiet, she didn't speak, but her presence conveyed thousands of emotions that she couldn't explain. Madam Colette silently sat by me without saying anything. My frozen figure remained there in the same position without even blinking. I didn't have any emotions drawn on my face.

I was blank, emotionally dead.

As the boats reached the ship, my eyes googled to read the name of the Titanic's savior. She was the only ship that had come to our rescue. And she was the hope of life to the remaining souls that survived.

Carpathia

That was the name of our savior. There were about thirty passengers on our boat including myself. The crew on the new ship enthusiastically helped the survivors to get on the ship Carpathia. A rope ladder was slid down to take us up.

Most of the people were already suffering from hypothermia. Some unfortunate souls weren't able to survive the skin-piercing coldness. The passengers on the Carpathia helped the survivors to get on board. The crew members pulled me into the ship and I climbed up like a dead zombie. My semi-unconscious body fell into their arms.

"There there now, careful, there you go " They helped me to stand on my feet but the numbness in my legs wasn't helping.

I was walking like I was in a daze. One of the crew members handed me a cup of hot chocolate to heat myself.

I unconsciously mumbled a thank you and took slow steps towards the crowd.

The whole deck was filled with the survivors of the Titanic. They wailing, trying to find their detached partners. Hopelessly running here and there to find them.

"Y/n, " Taehyung wrapped a thick blanket around me. He looked like a mess, his shirt was torn apart, and his lips were dry and waxy. His usual cheerful look was gone. We all looked like we just came out of surviving an apocalypse. There was only that much different than that.

I glanced at him with my half-dead gaze, the light inside my eyes was gone.

He kneeled near me and tightened the blanket around me making me warm. He didn't say anything but stare at me. He knew I was too traumatized to talk in my right mind.

"Stay here, they are giving you warm clothes, I'll bring you some..." All I could do was look at him with watery eyes without budging to speak up. His deep concerned gaze turned to me, pulling me into a hug.

"I'm so sorry Y/n," I only stared.

Once he left, I was aroused from where I was. I walked to the officers of the Titanic who had guided the lifeboats. He was taking the names of the remaining people on board. I walked to him with hope lighting up inside me.

"Excuse me," he turned to me who looked like a total wreck. His eyes softened as he saw my unstable state.

"Yes, Miss?"

"Is there a name Jeon Jungkook written there? He must be on this ship," my voice was weak and hoarse, and it almost came out as a whisper. He checked thoroughly the list and glanced at me with concern. His palm rested on my shoulder.

"I'm so sorry dear, but there's no one named Jeon Jungkook here" his words stabbed me.

"It can't be, please check again," I clasped his hand with hope.

I wanted to hear his name...

" I'm so sorry " he patted my shoulder and left me there to take the other's names. I shook my head in disbelief.

"No it can't be, his name has to be there." I scooted toward another officer and another, and another.

But all of them gave me the same reply.

"I'm so sorry..."

"Y/n!" through the crowd Taehyung's face appeared. He reached me with a pile of clothes in his hand. His face was clouded with gloom.

"His name has to be there Taehyung..." I glanced at him as he looked at me with sad long eyes. He tried to console me.

"I checked Y/n, his name is not there...He's gone, Jungkook is gone." with his words, I broke down, falling onto the wooden floor, I clutched my heart with pain.

"Jungkook, please come back...come back Jungkook" My sob turned to a loud cry.

"Why god you have to be so cruel, just why?" I screamed, crying loudly.

"Y/n, please, you have to be strong" Taehyung's eyes were teary. He tried to pull me up but I refused. I refused to get up. I refused to accept the fact he was dead.

I sobbed, even though I knew that crying wouldn't bring back anything I cried till I had no more tears left to shed.

The pain, the agony tapped me into a mental prison. The tragedy I escaped caused me a trauma that I couldn't recover. I lost him, I lost the love of my life.

I felt like killing myself and dying was better than bearing the pain of his loss. I remembered the promise I made him on the ship.

"Promise me that you'll never give up Y/n, never let go..."

It started raining. I gazed at the horizon at the ocean where we met and where he ended our journey. It was a beautiful curse that freed me from the thrones of the past, but it cost me something precious to me. Small raindrops fell to my body and rolled down, soaking me. But I didn't bother to get shelter, I remained there looking at the ocean.

A footstep got closer to me. The raindrops stopped falling.

"Can I take your name please love?" it was one of the crew from the Titanic. I stared at the ocean once more before saying,

"Y/n, Jeon Y/n"

Lol I had to put that part, I'm sorry for making you cry, but really, did Jungkook die? Hmm, sus lol...
