It was Taehyung, and he hugged me tight making me cry out louder- his gesture stimulating my tears. 

ME : Tae... (-sobs hard-)

V : It's alright...

I unwrapped his arms and turned around to hug him.

ME : (-unclear words-) Taehyung-ah~ Neomu appha~(It hurts bad~) It hurts so bad...

V : (-stroking my back-) It will be okay. (-in his deep voice trying to hold in tears-)

ME : (-through uneven breaths-) Why did she have to breakup, Tae? Why!

I had my grips on him getting tighter while sobbing my heart out. He couldn't fully understand me. But, silently heard my cries while patting my back and gently stroking it to calm my heart.

ME : I loved her so much but now it's so hard-... (-unable to speak-) I- I am sorry Taetae. (-sniffs-) I am sorry for hurting you before and speaking harshly to you.

V : (-breaks in tears and tightens the hug-) You idiot, stop being silly.

I was failing to stop my tears, reminiscing all the time together with her and the disbandment was adding more to it.

After a while, as the roller coaster ride of emotions stopped, we washed our faces and went back to the pratice room to find the others already rehearsing without us.

HOBI : (-stops dancing while others continued-) Yah! Where were you both?

V : Sorry, hyung! (-joins in with others-)

Hobi hyung was distracted seeing Tae join the choreography and calmed down.

HOBI : And you, (-to me-) You okay now? Will you be distracted again?

ME : (-shakes head-) No, I will do it well.

I could clearly see the concern he was trying to hide from surfacing in his face. As he turned to face the mirror continuing, I got to my position next to Suga hyung.

SUGA's POV

At night

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't care less or be ignorant to what Kookie said that day in the sequestered pond.

Flashback

After moments we settled down from all the sobs, I was tempted to ask the following question.

ME : How's Su Ah doing?

JUNGKOOK : (-looks at me instantly-) I don't know that either.

ME : You didn't keep in touch with her?

JUNGKOOK : No... (-looks away-) I never called her and neither did Noona.

ME : Ah, I see.

JUNGKOOK : But, Hyung.

ME : Onh?

JUNGKOOK : About a month back, I saw her.

ME : (-curiously-) Where?

JUNGKOOK : In the hospital. She was singing to the patients outside. I remember it was a Sunday. And she also had the guitar you gifted her.

ME : Ah, really?

JUNGKOOK : (-nodding-) But after that day, I never heard from her again.

I nodded slowly not sure what I should be saying next when we heard Taehyung's voice.

V : WAH! (-fascinated-) How come, I didn't see this place before?

We looked at him blankly till his eyes slowly fell on us.

V : Onh, Hyung, Kookie! Everyone's calling for you to place your orders. Come on!

JUNGKOOK : Okay, we're coming.

Taehyung left giving us a smile nod and there formed a silence between us again.

JUNGKOOK : Let's go, hyung. (-walks away-)

I followed him after, with Su Ah's thoughts revolving in my head.

○Present time

I have been trying to get in touch with her since then but she was nowehere to be found. Her number didn't exist anymore, she never returned to the house I loaned her for, nor did I know her stepdad's address.

After a alot of thoughts and rebels, I finally made up my mind to contact her elder sister, Bum Hee-ssi. She was a cop by profession, married and had a 1 year old daughter.

Besides, she knew about us dating before and I was hoping Su Ah might be with her.

Few moments later as I ended the call, things were same as earlier with a few more misfortunes adding in. Turned out, Su Ah's mother passed away the next day from the party night by a brain stroke.

Regret took all over my senses. I regretted ignoring her calls that day when she was trying to reach me desperately.

I regretted not being there for her when she was in such horrible pain and needed me. Bum hee-ssi said Su Ah never changed her number only incase I called her and there I was, too late to do so.

Her sister also mentioned that she had been out of reach since last month and that she was trying to look for her too. As for which, she was about to call me instead to ask if I knew anything.

{... Why is everything so damn messy?...}

Even with the Disbandment thing going on, every passing second seemed dreadful. I never knew I would be so scared to part ways with them.

But almost there we were, last 2 weeks together and my heart was still not ready to accept it. Too greedy for me to think that when I was the one to abandon them all in the first place.

In order to distract myself from that, I was trying to look for Su Ah but things weren't pleasant either sides.

I let out a frustrated sigh and ran my hand on the pillow she used to sleep in(the house in the hills).

AUTHOR's POV

Gradually, the days advanced and the time finally came. When they found themselves in their costumes, getting their makeups done and setting off The last concert.

It was going to be 2-day concert with today being the starter and tomorrow the conclusion with their announcement of disbandment, to the Armys.

They were all set in their positions, listening to the loud cheer that Armys tranferred to their side of the stage.

Neither of them said anything, not even the last words of strength Namjoon always gave before going up to the stage.

Armys weren't told it was their last Concert. Which made the members to mask the gloom in their faces at all costs, so they could give the best of them.

Everyone was nostalgic as they spread out in the entire stage, seeing the whole arena filled with Army bombs in every corner and fanchants echoing.

Holding back tears, they started off with the first song "Just One Day". They wisely chose the songs for the concert which had the words that they wanted desperately to reach Armys in some way.

All the songs were in sequence of their released date and in the dance breaks, they peformed their most viewed/loved choreographies as they wanted to give out all the best stuff but had a limited time.

Just one day~

Just one day, if I can be with you
Just one day, if I can hold your hands
Just one day, if I can be with you
Just one day
If only we can be together

Butterfly~

Please stop the time
If this moment passes
This will become something that's never happened and
I'll lose you, I am scared

Dead Leaves~

Everything's gotten so cold all of a sudden
I can only see this relationship go and wither
Nothing between us like empty sky
So different from the times before

You never walk alone~

I never walk alone
I can feel the warmth of your hand that I'm holding
You never walk alone
Feel me, you are not alone either

Best of me~

You just give me the confidence to be myself
That's all I wanted
There may not be rules between us
But the way to love exist
Who got the best of me?
No one knows but I know me
You're my best master

Though "Best of me" was supposed to be the last song for the night, they were just not ready to leave the stage even when their bodies were worn out and tired.

Namjoon, wrapping it up, broke his silence thanking Armys for being supportive, loving and waiting patiently for them- all these eight months of hiatus.

Right after he ended, Jungkook with visible wet eyes started to sing "Mikrokosmos" as a bonus track.

Within a first few seconds before he completed his first line, the background music was played and everyone joined in- spreading to all the corners of the rostrum.

Mikrokosmos~

"Perhaps the reason this night looks so beautiful
Is not because of these stars or lights, but us"

It wasn't planned by the members, however they sung in the moment straight from their hearts– coordinating with each other without the deliberate need of words.

Slowly by the end of the song, they left the stage whilst singing the last chorus together with the arena.

Armys couldn't see them in the podium anymore but their voices still reached their ears through the song.

It was a hidden message from them to the Armys, that maybe tomorrow they won't be able to see BTS physically. However, their voices shall surely forever reach everyone's heart.

The next day, the last day of the final concert.
Although they tried their best not to shed tears yesterday and successfully faked their smiles, they were uncertain about the last.
