"it's funny."
a figure stood in the middle of the train tracks, letting the darkness of the night completely engulf him as he looks endearingly at the glowing moon. his glassy eyes blurred his sight, unremittingly wetting his cheeks by the minute, making it glisten under the reflected light of the moon. his naked arms loosely hang beside him, the night breeze having little to no effect on his thinly-dressed frame consisting of a loose shirt and tight jeans.
"why do i have to lose you like this?"
he has never really liked the moon, he didn't hate it either. it was just another planet circling the earth, just another pretty science thing. but when jungkook told him that he's going to be there once he leaves, it was the only thing he seemed to have an interest in lately.

the pair were sitting on the couch, facing the huge glass pane which exhibits the view outside, the peaceful scenery of the neighbourhood were lit up with a few lights and the alluring view of the millions of stars littering the sky. the younger was snuggled rather comfortably in the elder's arms as they talked about the stupid events that had happened today until jungkook brought up a sensitive topic.
"jimin, i know this sounds absurd especially since it's coming from me. but when im gone, just know that im on the moon okay." jungkook exclaimed suddenly.
"the moon?" the latter said, a little frown making its way onto his face.
"yeah, the moon." jungkook looks at jimin before smiling, snuggling further into jimin's embrace. "we'll be looking at the same moon, right? so, technically i'll be there to look at you, you know?"
"that sounds super cheesy but yes, i'll remember that. always, just for you." jimin ruffled jungkook's hair before tightening the hold he has on the younger.
-
"are you...looking...at me?" the man said, a smile etched on his lips a only for a bellowing cry to escape from them.
it hurts.
the standing figure was now on the ground, his fragile torso now shivered at the frigid night breeze blowing against him. his arms wrap around himself, hoping the warmth is the same as jungkook's. hoping that his arms would be replaced with jungkook's. hoping that jungkook would return to him and this was all some cruel joke. but,
he can only hope.
-
"wait, there's one place i want to go with you." jungkook said, his eyes lighting up as it met with jimin's.
"you don't have to decide so quickly. take your time, baby." jimin gave the younger a warm smile as he turned his face towards him.
the two boys were now at the hospital. jungkook, being the bright and happy person he is, was glowing despite being in a hospital gown and jimin thought jungkook looked so lovely. his lovely boyfriend.
the phone in jungkook's hand was ultimately shoved into jimin's face, showing the search results for 뱃장 (baetjang), a bbq restaurant.
"you're sick and you still want to eat???" jimin's frown made jungkook burst out laughing, hard. his eyes crinkled at the end, his nose scrunched a little and his little mouth widened in happiness and that only made jimin fall harder for the boy.
"pleaseee, this will be my last request. promise!" jungkook smiled goofily, holding out his pinky.
"you know you can always make another request, jungkookie and i promise YOU, i will never stop fulfilling them." jimin said before playfully booping the younger's nose. "so mister, when do you want to go?"
jimin smiled endearingly at the boy in front of him, receiving a radiant one in return.
-
"ah, really...that jungkook..." jimin laughed with his head down, remembering the memories he had with the one who was no longer here. his eyes throbbed from the excessive amount of tears flowing out before he used his shirt to dry them off.
"jeon jungkook. i'll truly miss you." jimin got up, the moon seemed to be disappearing behind the clouds. jimin took it as a sign to leave, to carry himself forward along with jungkook in his heart. he will carry on as the man who felt the bliss of being married for a day, the man who was lucky enough to be loved by jungkook, the man who was blessed with the memories of jungkook and he will continue to do so as jeon jimin. until the day he finally joins his beloved husband.
