Jin's Pov

Sitting in the brown leather chair that was beside the bed, I looked over at Taehyung's unconscious presence. The slow beating of his heart echoed through the monitor; that was how quiet it was in this hospital room. His eyes closed shut, arms to his sides, and the stillness of his posture composed as of a corpse's.

He's finally resting after this madness. 

The creak of the door caught my attention when all five of my men entered the dimly lit room. Breaking the silence was one of them, but for once, it gave me relief and reassurance.

"Will he be okay, Jin?" Jungkook asked, slowly wheeling his way to the opposite side of Taehyung's bed, fixing the end of the blanket that failed to cover the tip of Taehyung's toes.

I stayed silent. I didn't know the answer to his question. I don't even know if everything that's happened could lead to a better result. It frightened me with uncertainty for sure. Would there have been a solution if one of them were to die in the accident? But they survived, so could this be a new beginning? I don't know.

"I won't do it," I choked, barely giving the chance to the group to hear what I was saying.

I was suddenly surrounded by confused faces and curiosity.

"What do you mean, 'I won't do it?'" Namjoon firmly asked with a firm voice.

I shook my head and slowly rubbed my temple with ease, the tension finally getting to me. "Madame Kim asked me to bring both Rui and Taehyung together for reconciliation after they recover, but this time, I'll be the one to decide."

Silence once again filled the room. The decision to be made between one's lifelong friend and a family member was just as difficult when it held so much power to be able to bring either one's life downhill. Someone has to make the right decision for both parties.

Suddenly my collar was tightly gripped by Namjoon's fist, his eyes filled with fear, "If anything, you need to stop whatever ideas are popping up in your head right now," his voice trembled, his hands clenching even tighter onto my collar, "You know just as well as I do how dangerous this is. I could care less about you being reckless against Taehyung's orders because Taehyung wasn't in his right mind, but to go against Madame Kim? You must be crazy."

I gently placed my hand on his tensed ones, "It's best for them to not meet each other again. I'm saving them both. So please, trust me."

Namjoon's hands finally released tension as he slowly removed himself from me. His watering eyes threatened to let his tears fall against his will. Hoseok walked over to Namjoon's presence and swung his arm to bring Namjoon's head down to his shoulder, whispering to Namjoon's ear in comfort before Namjoon surrendered to his tears.

"This is just as overwhelming as it's getting." Yoongi approached the end of the bed, his hands trembling as they both clenched the bedpost. "Are you happy now? Is this what you wanted?" he chuckled sarcastically and he looked down before shifting his gaze toward Taehyung. "You just couldn't stop, huh? What happened to you blabbering about all those things you wanted Rui to do together with you? Now, look at you. You blew your chance. You blew it..." Yoongi hiccupped, his tears glistening against his pale cheeks. 

Jungkook stared at Yoongi with his doe eyes, witnessing the elder cry for the first time.

Not too long later, everyone began to silently let their tears fall. The result has now caused everyone to lose not only their friends who won't remember them but the memories that they all made together. As if it wasn't enough, as if it wasn't meant to be, it felt as if the time they all had together was running out.

Author's Pov

Slowly strolling in the quiet halls of the hospital, Jungkook's wandering eyes spotted Rui's name outside her room before wheeling himself inside. Peeking around the corner, she rested soundly with minor injuries and scrapes on her face with a bandage wrapped around her head. 

Turning his head to the dresser by her side, a necklace lay on the cold wooden surface with its glistening gem that stuck out in the darkroom. Struck with curiosity, he strolled to the dresser before softly lifting the gold chain from the dresser. Grabbing the gem between his two fingers, he moved his hand to the only light source there was; the moon. This resulted in the many languages that suddenly filled the area where there was only light.

Squinting his eyes to make out what the engravements were saying, he slowly sounded out the words, "I... love... you? I love you?" Jungkook read it out in English before translating it into Korean. He looked over to Rui, who was still unconscious.

He continued to observe the other languages that were shown from the gem's engravements through the light source, which he assumed was probably the same message as the English one. Until he tilted it downwards was when there were more Korean character engravements other than 'I love you' in Korean characters that he encountered and read them quietly to himself.

"I'll never let you go."
