The night sky was holding the stars in its embrace as all the mothers of Silia slept while holding the hands of their little children, the warmth in both the cases being undoubtedly same. The males , unfraid of the darkness of sky; were guarding the little galaxy which so happens to be their families.
It was the last day of Tsunami warning as the cycle generally ended after three consecutive days. It was the night when they all needed to stay alert without any kind of carelessness because it wasn't war for victory or destruction instead it was a fight for the safety of your own people.
Jimin was currently sound asleep, unaware of anything happening around him as he was fed sleeping pills secretly for he has been totally ingnoring his physical as well as mental health, neglecting his sleeps as well.
He was softly clutching on the clothes of the person whom he adores the most but unluckily, his eyes were closed and unable to witness what he has been dying to see for ages.
A soft knock was heard on the door as the person freed himself from the sleeping angel and went outside to discuss.
"My majesty, the sea is moving back at the southern coast and I'm afraid that this is going to be a huge wave."
"I'm coming with you. Ask everyone to shift inside the palace. Fill the palace until there's no space for an insect to crawl but no one should be left outside for dying. Announce it to everyone to come here with their family as this huge wave won't just destroy the southern lands but others too."
"Yes, my majesty. Should w-we wake up the king? The people of Silia need his moral support."
"No! Let him have some peace. With me being over here, it's enough. I'll protect him and everyone."
"Okay, my majesty."
Back to the room, Jimin winced a little in his slip, feeling oddly incomplete at a sudden. He started hugging himself as his heart was feeling so heavy without any reason as if something very wrong was going to happen soon. He was feeling restless, turning and twisting on the bed.
Suddenly, he felt a warm embrace hold onto him tightly as he was pulled closer to warm body, long fingers massaging his scalp, lulling him to sleep as he slowly started calming down, drifting into sleep again.

"Has everyone been executed safely here?"
The question was directed to youngjae who hastily replied positively.
"My majesty, we've sent another troop for doing a final cross checking in case someone is trapped. "
"uh..huh? I'm going along with them. I can't just sit here and rest."
"B-but they've already gone besides that how will we handle the king if he wakes up?" Youngjae stuttered nervously, trying to stop the other because it was really dangerous out there.
"I know this kingdom very well. I won't be lost."
"My majesty, please listen to me. Last time you went near the sea, we almost lost you. I'm afraid of you getting l-lost in the dark waves again. Please d-don't do it so. Our king would die if he knows this."
Hearing this, the another person chuckled bitterly.
"He's already dead from inside, Jae. He has suffered a lot. For him, I don't exist anymore so if I ended up being lost he won't suffer with pain of losing ke twice because I was never back to my angel."
Youngjae was able to feel the raw emotions the older was going through right now. It made him feel bad too but he wasn't going to accept his defeat this time at any cost.
"My apologies for what I'm going to say but the king might not know that you were back but if he ever gets to learn that you're were so close yet so far from him and ended up being lost forever, this time he won't survive. He'll die this time. Please end this game of hide and seek. None of you deserve any of this pain."
"Jae, I understand you. But if I don't go right now and if something bad happens to my people, I will have to leave with this guilt forever. I know I'm not any god that I can fight against natural calamities but if I can't win, let me brave."
Saying this , the older stormed off from there fastly as youngjae watched his disappearing back with an upset smile. He didn't want the royal couple to have a sad ending at all. They both were made to he together forever, happily ever.
He turned back , looking down towards the stables but his eyes widened when he saw someone trying to sneak out.
"My majesty, stop please." Youngjae ran behind the older who was just climbing off the stairs.
"I told you that one life is a lot lesser than a hundred of lives. I'll have to—"
"King! The king just snuck out with a horse. He is awake." Youngjae said in one go , his statement stunned the other who looked really panicked.
"Jimin went out? Why? Why would he? Arghhh... Light up a torch for me, I'm taking out the horse."

The rustling sound of the dry leaves being crushed under the pad of the mare's feet was echoing in the woods as Jimin kept going forward. His mind was blank as he kept going away, trying to get rid of this unsettling feeling in his chest.
He saw the sea drying up , the sound of waves dancing on the rhythm was missing, indicating that the waves has moved back. It all reminded him of the night he lost Taehyung forever.
Their cruise was also surrounded by noisy dark waves which eventually ended up swallowing Jimin's whole world. The scene of him going on the rooftop of the cruise just to watch his husband flying off into the water while Namjoon was trying to save him was circling his mind.
Now he knew that Namjoon wasn't saving Taehyung as he was the only one who put the latter into that condition. Jimin cursed himself that only if he would've arrived a little earlier, he could've saved his husband.
It felt like the waves were calling him too. He heard a faint sound of waves which meant the tsunami was arriving, the danger was on its way and Jimin was attracted towards it yet the mare was refusing to move forward, her animal sense was alarming her of the upcoming danger.
Jimin decided to have some pity on the poor animal and got off it, freeing it to go and save herself. He wasn't that cruel that he'll include someone else to suffer his pain.
He has never ever felt this weak before. Such thoughts have never crossed his mind especially when he was finally away from the hellhole. It was like his feet were automatically moving on it's own, guiding him towards the peaceful path of emancipation.
"If I.... If I submerge myself into the water, I'm sure that I'll get to reunite with you."
Jimin mumbled as he looked at the waves which were just two to three kilometres away from him, swiping forward like a bolt of lightning.
He felt the corner of his eyes burn. Since the day he took upon the duty of serving for the royals of Silia or since the day he felt the prince glancing at him time to time, he has never felt this way.
From refusing Taehyung to marrying him, the journey has been extremely pleasant. If it was old Jimin, he would never take such a step.
But only love can hurt like this.
He couldn't anymore because it was getting really suffocating him. Taehyung wasn't just a man to whom Jimin has married. He was someone Jimin loves the most, someone on whom Jimin's life depended.
It's so easy to see Jimin fighting every danger with courage and winning it but at the end, he was nothing but a loser. People could just encourage him to stay happy but no one could ever understand what his heart actually felt, that how broken he was.
He was nothing but a mold made out of crambled pieces of glass which could never be fixed again.
His feelings, his pain could be only estimated by others but he is the one who goes through it daily. He knows what life without his lover is.
Only Jimin knows that doesn't matter what his existence was painfully incomplete without Taehyung.
Somewhere in far off distance, Jimin felt a familiar voice calling him out. It was really familiar that he could recognise it even in his dreams.
"Tae.."
He painfully smiled, now running towards the seashore.
"Jimin! Where are you? Jimin! Come here." The voice was heard again.
"Are you calling me to you? Don't worry, I'm coming to you, Taehyungie. You won't be alone anymore."
Jimin mumbled as he looked at the waves, already imagining his husband waiting for him. A new surge if energy rushed into his feet as he sped up more.
"TAEHYUNG!!! I AM COMING TO YOU"
He said while smiling. He had no regrets with his life anymore.
"I LOVE YOU, TAE. " He said while laughing, his laughter was insane as he fell down on the sand, covering his face while laughing hysterically, tears seeping out through the gap of his fingers.
He screamed and screamed until he can't no more. Tears were flooding down his eyes.
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE—"
He sobbed harder, his body shaking with each sob like a trembling autumn leaf. It was getting hard for Jimin to breathe. Since his childhood, he was afraid of death. He didn't want to die without having to complete all of his dreams. It was too young for him to die.
"BUT THERE'S NO WAY I COULD LIVE WITHOUT YOU, TAE."
He knows that he shouldn't do it but there's no any other option for him. For those who accept the path of death, they must've experienced a life more painful than death. He was just a young man who has just climbed into the age of enjoying life but there was no any meaning of life without Taehyung.
He was so into crying that everything around him except his painful sobs and threatening sounds of the wave was numb. He got up, staring at the wave which was just a kilometre away.
"You!!" A hand swept over his waist, pulling him in his air as he closed his eyes, he felt himself sitting on something special.
"Are you dumb?!" He heard the person who just picked him say angrily but Jimin just broke into loud sobs.
He was just going to kill himself, the fear of death was finally kicking in. His sobs were never-ending as he poured out every emotion.
The waves were getting nearer with each passing second.
Jimin looked at the man who just saved him with a clouded vision, his face glistening with shock as he hastily wiped off his tears with the sleeves of his hanbok and turned to look at the man again, but this time with a clearer vision.
When he saw that face glistening under the moonlight, his breath was caught away, no sounds leaving his mouth. He would like to consider that he was in heaven right now. It was impossible.
"L-love?.."
That was the only word which escaped past his gentle lips as he thought that destiny was pulling a sick prank on him. The face, the lips, the eyes and everything else looked similar.
"We've to be faster if we don't want to die."
That's what Taehyung replied and Jimin was awestruck. He could never have a doubt that this voice actually belonged to his husband. For all he knows, it could be a dream so he decided to cherish the moment.
Jimin immediately wrapped himself around Taehyung's body, clinging to the taller like a leech as he sniffled slowly.
"A-are you for real?" He said with a choked sob and his suspected to be husband nodded.
"I'll make you believe everything, angel but we need to escape the major issue right now."
Hearing Taehyung say that, Jimin looked behind them and saw the waves which have already destroyed the shore was now moving closer towards their homeland, ready to destroy everything in its way.
I can't write longer updates.
