"Dear Taehyung,

this is my final letter.

I love you more than the sun that we revolve around, more than the ground beneath my feet, more than my phone.

Taehyung I

Fell

For you.

I didn't mean to, it's just how it ended up. You didn't cause this, please don't think you did. My home life is worse than you could ever imagine, Tae. My mom is verbally abusive and a hoarder.

Please, be happy. I'll love you forever.


Sincerely,
Fanboy"

He smiled remembering coming here as a kid with his grandfather back when he was just a clueless and happy kid.

He felt the tears come but smiled through them. He felt such guilt but didn't feel like waiting for a better tomorrow. He held his breath, it's time.

As the church bell rang 12-noon Jungkook climbed onto the wide ledge of the bridge. Inhaling deeply he felt his last thoughts.

  One... The Sunset.
Two... Butterflies.
Three. Taehyung.

Regret.

But he was falling, and falling, and -
