Silence falls and it feels like the time stops. Everything is motionless and in this one second moment, hearts skip a beat before throb faster in panic. Yoojin is numb, even just to let out a scream, she is not able. Right in front of her eyes, a body collapse and now lay on a cold floor. There is a hole on his chest and it bleeds badly. It hurts him and sends a lot of pain but he knows, he is doing the right thing. He then looks up to see Yoojin for the last time. He captures her face and saves it inside his memories. He just needs to remember the face of a woman that makes him fall in love. He feels grateful that she comes and stays in his life. She brings happiness though it's just for a while, but for him, it doesn't matter, it's really enough. It makes him smile and it grows wider though his face just shows paleness and tiredness.

"Kim Taehyung!"

Jimin screams and rushes to his friend. He kneels down and takes Taehyung's hand. He completely blames his own self and he regrets everything. He witness how hard for Taehyung to breath but Taehyung still manages to say he is alright, trying to comfort him. This makes Jimin's heart crushes into pieces and it causes his tears flow down his face. He apologizes as he cries out his guilt. It sounds so heartbreaking and it hits all the BTS' members, immediately they run toward their dying brother.

"Kim Taehyung, do you hear me?" The leader, Rapmon asks.

"Jungkook-ah, call ambulance---"

"No,---" Taehyung cuts off.

"---please just stay with me, all of you" He continues and a single tear drops from his eyes.

Everybody knows Taehyung just wants to be together in his last moment. Slowly they hold his body and try to make him comfortable. They wrap their arms around him and make him warm. It helps nothing but at least they keep him close. They tell him everything will be alright though they know it won't.

"All these years---" Taehyung pauses because it suffocates him just to talk.

"---I never say thank you to you all, you always help me and whenever I make mistake, you are the first to protect and shield me, thank you" He softly says and hears Jimin gets more hysterical.

"Jimin-ah, listen, it's not your fault---" Taehyung explains and closes his eyes for a second because his eyelids start giving up. He forces himself to look into Jimin's eyes and smiles "---it's my choice, I beg you, don't blame yourself, hm?" He asks.

Jimin just nods as he realizes it is Taehyung's last wish to him. He closes his eyes and the scene replays again. He was sure about their defeat and he aimed his gun to Luhan's chest. He didn't think twice to kill and accurately shot the bullet there, but who knew? Taehyung ran and jumped infront of the bullet, replacing Luhan's place as target. He didn't understand the reason why but once he saw Taehyung smile to Yoojin, he realized that his friend falls for the Aphrodite and everything makes sense now.

"I love you, you're all my brothers, even I will be gone, please remember me"

Taehyung speaks and he sounds so weak. His smile is still there but his eyes are closed already. He still breathes but as time goes by, it disappears slowly and eventually he rests in peace, inside his brothers' embrace. He is gone as he keeps holding his feeling inside his heart and he decides to bring his love for Yoojin to his eternal sleep. One day, in another life, he hopes he could tell her the truth, but until then, let it be the truth untold.

Everything happened for a reason. Even a bad thing could bring goodness to life. It was a dark time and everybody had trouble to recover from sadness. One thing for sure, BTS retired as gangsters and went back to their hometown right after Taehyung's funeral. Any one of them faced a difficult way to heal the scars and it was hard to erase the pain from their heart. A year or two year would never enough, they were all damaged.

In the other hand, Luhan had a trauma and avoided his gangster life. It extremely affected him and it made him sustain a heavy weight on his shoulder. He couldn't help but felt guilty. He was the one who Taehyung saved and he still remembered the look on Taehyung's eyes. He still had it inside his mind, how the light on Taehyung's eyes dimmed and eventually disappeared. He knew, it would forever haunt him and after this how could he forgive himself?

Everything changed now. Life was harder than before and Yoojin had no idea, how could she survive this. She always fell asleep in tears and woke up with nightmares. The memories intoxicated her mind and no one was there to save her. She was alone in this battle because everyone else had their own wars. She wanted to ask help from Luhan but she witnessed, he had it harder. She was concern about him and tried to reach him, but he ignored her. She realized, everybody needed their own space to face reality and heal themselves. In the end of the day, it was only their own selves who could save them from despair and heartbreak.

Today is a memorial day of Taehyung's death. Right 5 years ago, he left but the memories still remain until this day. BTS' members gather together and pray for Taehyung. They completely heal their scars and successfully start new life. Rapmon wisely helps his brothers to go through the pain and there they are now, already forgiving the past and living their life to the fullest.

Last year, BTS' members built a join company which engaged in a field of defense and security. They were aware, rather than fought for revenge and authority, they chose to defend and protect people in need. Only one year but the company grows faster than their prediction. There is more than five hundreds of bodyguards work for them and a lot of companies sign with them to use their services. Even some legislatives now hire their bodyguards. Everything that happens today is all because of Taehyung. Though he is not here with them, but the thought of him always leads them to a better place and they believe he is always there, watching them from the sky and feeling proud with their achievement.

Luhan and Yoojin didn't meet for one year long as they tried to recover their pain. There was a distant between them and truthfully she felt like dying everyday. One day, she really needed a friend to talk but she had no one. She decided to come and visit Taehyung's grave. She brought beautiful flowers and gave it to him. She sat beside the grave and began to talk to him. She cried and told him how lonely she was. She didn't know but Luhan was there. At first, he just paid his monthly visit and as usual he wanted to deliver his sorry to Taehyung but he found his girl there, talking about her desperation and crying like that. It broke his heart and it shattered his feeling. There, he realized, he was so selfish and stupidly ignored her. There, in front of Taehyung's grave, he approached her and pulled her into his embrace, whispering his sorry. From the sky, Taehyung witnessed two loves became one again and he smiled.

The next year, Luhan and Yoojin got married in a little church. Unexpectedly, BTS' members came, not to ruin it, but to congratulate them. They even asked for reconciliation and agreed to forget the past and start a new positive life. Enemies turned into friends and all hatred resolved into forgiveness. They believed, this was the main reason for what happened in the past. Right from the start, the universe fated them to be together as friends. Ten months later, Luhan and Yoojin welcomed their first born. A cute baby boy delivered to the world and they named him Taehyung to commemorate him. Their baby grew up with their love and additional love from his so many uncles.

Last year, Luhan's father past away and Luhan inherited the company. He started working there for the sake of his mother. The first thing he did after he sat on the CEO's seat was searching for evidence of his father and Doctor Lee's crime. It wasn't hard. He just needed one hour to find everything and immediately sent the evidences to police. The investigation began and all evidences pointed Doctor Lee as the suspected. In the end, Doctor Lee sentenced to life. It couldn't bring back the deaths but at least the injustice turned into justice.

Luhan walks out from his car and runs to the other side. He opens the door for Yoojin and watches her step out with their two years old son. He wraps his arm around her shoulder and walks side by side with her. Their son is so energetic today because they say they will introduce him to a very cool uncle.

"Taehyung-ah, go down" Yoojin lets go her son from her embrace.

Luhan and Yoojin stand behind their son and smile to Taehyung's grave. Last year, they couldn't come but this year they make it to his memorial day. Today they will introduce their son to Taehyung. They then kneel beside their son and ask him to greet Taehyung.

"Hm? Taehyung? This uncle has the same name as me" Their son talks in his baby language.

"That's right, we named you after this uncle, he is a brave and kind uncle, we want you to become like him, brave and kind" Luhan smiles to his son and then turns his gaze to his wife who nods at him.

"Really? That's cool" Their son smiles and walks closer to Taehyung's grave.

"Uncle, my name is Lu Taehyung, let's be friend"

Luhan sees Yoojin has tears on her eyes, but he also witnesses her beautiful smile grow wider. He is sure, she has the same thought as him. Now, the two have met and start from this moment, their son will be Taehyung's friend and Taehyung will be their son's guard. They are grateful that they are what they are today. They are happy that they feel what they feel today. They are thankful that the past gives them a beautiful future.

'In loving memories of a loving brother and a loyal friend, our hero, Kim Taehyung'
