Fourth woke up screaming.
Fourth (crying like a child): GEM! GEM DON’T LEAVE ME! COME BAck PLEASE!
He clawed at the bed, eyes wide, breath rapid.
Taehyung rushed first, holding him tightly.
Taehyung: Shh baby shh I’m here Gemini will come back, he won’t leave you, I promise just breathe, please breathe
Fourth shook violently.
Fourth: He promised me—like my parents left me but Gem won’t—Gem won’t he loves me he said he will stay
He sobbed until he passed out again against Tae’s chest.
Tae didn’t sleep for the rest of the night.
He just stroked Fourth’s hair and whispered:
Taehyung (soft, breaking): I won’t leave you too… even if he’s gone… I won’t leave you Fourth
Night 3 — 4:01 AM
Fourth woke up again.
But quieter.
Just tears on his cheeks.
Hands reaching into empty air.
Fourth (broken whisper): Why everyone leave me… Gem also left… he said he won’t… but he did…
Jungkook stood in the doorway, unseen, hand over his mouth to muffle his crying.
Jungkook wanted to run to him. He wanted to hold him. He wanted to fix everything—
But guilt chained him.
Jungkook (voice shaking): “It’s my fault… my brother died because of me… Fourth hates me… and he should…”
Jhope walked up beside him silently.
Jhope: “You loved him. You tried.
Pain doesn’t mean guilt.”
Jungkook: If I stayed
he would still be breathing.
Jhope couldn’t answer that.
He just placed a hand over Jungkook’s and stayed.
No words.
Just presence.
DAY BY DAY — NO IMPROVEMENT
Fourth stopped talking to anyone.
He ate only if dunk fed him spoon by spoon.
He bathed only if Taehyung helped him stand.
He didn’t look in mirrors. Didn’t laugh. Didn’t react when someone hugged him.
He just stared.
At walls. At empty air. At the door…
Waiting for someone who would never walk in.
Meanwhile Jungkook
He faded too.
His eyes lost light. His voice became thin and hollow.
Jungkook to Jin (while staring at the floor): Do you think… he felt pain?
When he died… was he scared?
Tae's voice broke instantly. He pulled Jungkook into a tight embrace.
Tae: Jungkook baby no—don’t torture yourself… please don’t do this to you too
But Jungkook didn’t hug back.
He just cried silently into Jin’s chest like a ghost with a heartbeat.
