"This is your final room, Jungkook. Get this right, and you're home free." The false Taehyung's voice was back to it's cheerful self. There was a note of seriousness to his voice as if he really wanted Jungkook to pass this room. 

"I can do this!" Jungkook stated proudly. He still felt the aftereffects of the last memory, but his determination didn't allow any room for anything else. No tears now, only confidence. 

The grey room appeared. It had more decorations this time around. Windows that showed nothing, desks that had empty books and pens. The doors themselves were still ebony, it still had the windows in the middle, but the whole door looked like it belonged in a castle. It was a stark contrast from the simple doors of the past 5 rooms. 

"On your birthday, what happened? How did you spend the day?" Taehyung asked before dissapearing. 

For the final time, Jungkook walked to the left door. For the final time, he looked through it's window.  He was with Taehyung, something that he had come to expect out of these memories. The two boys were in a park and Jungkook seemed to be laughing about something. Taehyung was smiling too, but there was a hint of sadness behind the smile. What had happened? The memory began moving, and the two boys began walking forward.


Jungkook held his hyungs hands as they walked through the park, laughing about nothing at all. Today couldn't have been a more beautiful day, and it was Jungkook's 20th birthday! Taehyung suddenly stopped walking.

"Hyung?" Jungkook turned to look at him, confused.

"Jungkook..." Taehyung's eyes stayed glued to the floor. "Lets...break up."

Jungkook paused, then burst into laughter "I get it! You're joking right? Very funny, hyung"

Tahyung wasn't laughing. Instead, he looked like he was going to cry. "...Tae Tae hyung...this isn't funny anymore." Jungkook warned. "I'm gonna get really mad. Stop making that face!"

"Jungkook...I'm not joking."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that I want to dump your sorry ass!" Taehyung suddenly yelled, the sound made Jungkook take a step back, and he could feel his heart dropping to his feet.

"But...hyung-"

"You know what? Let's pretend we don't know each other. Don't talk to me anymore." Taehyung turned to leave.

"Hyung no!" Jungkook ran and grabbed Taehyungs arm, making the elder turn around again. His face looked angry, and it scared Jungkook. "But hyung I love you! What did I do wrong? I can fix it! Please, hyung!"

Taehyung pushed Jungkook off, making the younger falling on his behind. "I said, don't talk to me anymore."

Long after this memory faded to black and the other door shone, Jungkook stood at the door. He knew it was fake, because he loved Taehyung; and from his memories, he knew Taehyung loved him too. So there was no way it could be true. There was no way Jungkook would be convinced to think otherwise. 

"The other door! The other door is the right door, there's no doubt. I'm picking the other door." Jungkook walked to the right door that was beckoning him for quite some time now. He already knew he would be picking this door, but to make extra sure, he watched the memory. Jungkook and Taehyung sat in the living room of, as per usual, his own apartment. They held controllers that Jungkook recognized but couldn't remember the name of, and characters fought on a screen. He knew this game, he loved this game, but he couldn't remember it's name.


"And the winner is....RYU!" The game announced and Jungkook cheered. For Jungkook's 20th birthday, the couple decided to have a game night. They've been playing Super Sm4sh Bros. for quite some time now, and it's now been 4 battles that Jungkook has won over Taehyung.

"Aish, how are you so good at this game?" Taehyung whined.

"This game is my life, hyung."

"I bet you won't beat me a 5th time!"

"Wanna bet?"

"Your WiiU for two weeks if you lose." Taehyung proposed.

"Your PS4 for two weeks if you lose." Jungkook sneered. They agreed and shook on it before picking their controllers up again.

"I'm not losing." Taehyung confidently stated.

"You lost 4 times in a row. Are you sure about that?"

"Just fight me."

They fought vigorously, without any items and only 3 stock.

"And the winner is...BAYONETTA!" Taehyung cheered in victory. "Get dunked on, bitchass!" He yelled as Jungkook stared at the screen blankly.

"What the fu-"

"Language!" Taehyung warned "Also, your WiiU for two weeks." Taehyung laughed as Jungkook pushed the elder.

"Fine, but if I even see one scratch I'll have your ass on a frame above my television."


Without any contemplation, Jungkook opened this door and entered it. It was obvious this had to be the correct one. 

He waited in the darkness, but the light never came. Suddenly, he saw a bright white light in the corner of his vision, and with horror he turned to see that the other room lit up.

"No..." Jungkook's eyes widened. It couldn't be true. 

He felt a presence beside him, and turned to the front again, nearly jumping in his skin afterwards. Taehyung was extremely close to his face, and his eyes looked dull and empty. He was breathing heavily, and looked at Jungkook with unblinking eyes that made the youngers skin crawl.

"T-Tae-"

Suddenly, the Game Moderator started screaming. It was so high pitched and loud the younger's hands flew to his ears.

"You got it wrong!

You got it wrong!

I told you these doors tricked people!

But you got it wrong!" he screamed. It sounded wretched, as if the Moderator himself was the one that was fated to die. 


Jungkook's heart thudded in his ears, and the words kept repeating itself.

You got it wrong. You got it wrong. You got it wrong. You got it wrong. You got it wrong.
