Jimin fell to his knees, heaving out a loud, heartbroken sob. His fingers weakened, the gun dropping to the ground with a final sounding thud. He heard his ears ringing as he bent forward and sobbed into the ground.

Jungkook slumped to his lover, gently pulling Taehyung's body onto his knees.

Taehyung's shirt was quickly soaked with his own blood and he stared up to Jungkook, eyes clouded with pain. His hands became red from blood, weakly grasping Jungkook's arms while the man pressed his own hands to the wound to stop the bleeding.

The grey-haired coughed weakly, a small trail of blood running down his lips. Weakly, Taehyung addressed Jungkook in the most softest voice, calling out his name yet the Joker ignored him. Instead, he applied pressure to the wound, ordering Taehyung to stay still, to stop talking and save his energy.

"H-hey, it's okay, J-Jungkook--", Taehyung whispered softly, coughing again. His lips were ruby red from blood by now, spilling onto the dirty floor of the courtyard, Minho's corpse laying nearby. Taehyung heaved out a painful breath, wanting to appear strong for his lover. He did it. He had his revenge.

But oh no, he had to leave his Jungkookie now...

"No it's not! You will not fucking die, you won't!", Jungkook snarled, ripping on his blazer violently, tearing the material apart to get some sort of bandage. When he turned his head, his eyes were wild and desperate. 

"Little lamb, you will not leave me!" he exclaimed heated, eyes narrowing angrily before he applied the clothing over the wound and pressed it over the wound to stop the bleeding.

"NAMJOON!", he yelled out for his subordinate, "NAMJOON, GET YOUR ASS HERE!! NAMJOON-- fuck!!!" His scream ended in a spit out curse as a strong gush of blood soaked the clothing, Taehyung choking for air. Jungkook's eyes snapped to him, despair brimming in his red-rimmed eyes.

Taehyung then realized the Joker was crying.

"D-don't make a promise y-you cannot keep, Mr. J...", the grey-haired beauty said weakly, hands loosening their strength as they slipped away from Jungkook's bloodied forearms. His sight started to get blurry yet he managed to crook a small smile at his lover, being so happy to be in his arms.

Taehyung had found his home in the man. He was so sad he had to leave him early. But maybe he deserved it. After all, he had blood on his hands way before this day. He was not a good citizen. He had killed two people, three now. He killed his own parents and brother. He had fallen in love with Jeon Jungkook, a wanted criminal, had actively engaged with crimes, arson and the attack of a prison.

Maybe Jimin was right... maybe this version of Taehyung was too dangerous for the world and had to go. But he was finally happy... he finally felt like himself and he had met the love of his life. His eyes slowly started to feel heavy, he was so tired...

"Taehyung, no- listen to me. Look at me, just me." Jungkook's voice sounded so panicked and pleading that Taehyung blinked multiple times, fighting against the exhaustion and fatigue.

Jungkook pressed a bloodied hand to Taehyung's cheek. The silver-haired smiled weakly, nuzzling into the Joker's palm while another small trail of blood ran down his lips.

"I love you. Fuck, I loved you the moment I saw you. Don't do this to me. You said- you promised you'd live for me." 

Jungkook's voice cracked in the end, connecting their foreheads together after he confessed. Taehyung gasped lowly for air, resulting in his ribcage starting to pound. The Joker had confessed to him. He loved him, even though he told Taehyung that he was not capable of these feelings, of showing himself as vulnerable.

"Please don't leave me, I can't-- my life will be dull and dark without you again", Jungkook whispered broken, heaving out a sob when he felt Taehyung growing weaker and weaker in his arms.

"I love you too, Jungkook. S-so much... you don't know how much", Taehyung whispered weakly, eyes fluttering again while black dots appeared in his vision.

Jimin was forgotten. The broken dark knight of Seoul was kneeling on the ground, his broken heart betraying his duty to right the ones who were harmed by the Joker's hands. He had chosen the city over his heart, once more. It was his duty to protect the citizen. Even from the one he loved. Taehyung should've never turn to the dark side, Jimin didn't want the beautiful male to be his enemy. When he realized he was, his heart broke apart.

His decision was the right one, why did he feel so miserable? And why was the Joker trembling, before heaving out a scream as he held his motionless lover in his arms? Jungkook was not capable of any feelings other than anger and madness.

Jungkook sobbed, bending over Taehyung's head and pressing a shaky kiss to his locks, wiping them out of his face tenderly with trembling, bloodied fingers. He curled the entirety of his strong body around Taehyung whose head was still resting in his lap, protectively stroking his hair.

When the Joker lifted his head, his dusty face revealed the clear streaks of tears on his face. His eyes searched Jimin, the one who had shot his darling and the one who was crying as well. Jungkook would not allow Taehyung to go this way. He had years over years planned with the male.

He couldn'tcouldn'tcouldn't lose him, nonono, not Taehyung, TaehyungTaehyungTaehyung, his darling, his angel, he COULDN'T LEAVE! Not like this, not ever!

So Jungkook did what he had to do in order to save his Darling. And that was pleading with the Batman to save Taehyung, his sweet little lamb, his Darling boy, his Queen, the love of his damned life. Because Jungkook realized that he did not want to live in a world where Kim Taehyung didn't exist.

"Jimin-- Jimin please! If you ever loved him, help me save him!", Jungkook pleaded, tears running down his face silently, smearing the white paint on his face while he coddled Taehyung to his chest.

"Please, I fucking beg of you if I have to! I will do anything you ask of me, just save him", Jungkook screamed hysterically, burying his head into Taehyung's hair and sobbing helplessly while he felt his lover's life slipping away from him.

"Pleasepleaseplease my darling boy, Taehyung, don't leave me, IloveyouIloveyou, I LOVE YOU!", Jungkook sobbed, screamed at the end.

Jimin heaved out a sob as well. He got to his feet, shakily approaching the two broken lovers to the ground. Fuck being the hero for once. Begging his nemesis for help made Jimin realize that not only Taehyung had changed. Jungkook had as well. And maybe, if Jimin allowed Taehyung to live, Taehyung would change Jungkook completely. It did not excuse his actions but Jimin was delusional of sadness and pain.

He too realized that he could not live in a world where Kim Taehyung didn't exist.

"Leave this fucking city, Jeon and never return. You've wreaked havoc quite enough on this city. Leave and I'll save Taehyung." Jimin's voice was rough, low from the pain underneath. He was the hero but the hero felt like a villain while watching the grey-haired male bleed out on the floor, his lover crying above him.

The Joker agreed immediately, cradling Taehyung's head in his bloodied hands, pressing a kiss to the boy's forehead.

"Anything. I will never come back. You will never see me again", he promised Jimin passionately, so sincerely like he had never spoken before, the Batman nodding slowly before hovering over Taehyung and using his last healing capsule on the boy.

The Joker exhaled, pressing a kiss to Taehyung's bloody forehead while stroking his hair and rocking the petit male back and forth. No sign of his usual insanity was visible on him, his thoughts only running around the possibility of Taehyung dying.

Now, he wasn't the Joker. He was Jungkook, fearing for his lover's life.

"But you have to promise me something." Jimin said, gently feeding Taehyung the healing capsule and making him swallow. He stroked over Taehyung's cheek shortly, saying a final goodbye in his mind. Jimin would make sure he would never see Taehyung ever in his city again.

"What is it, Batsy?", Jungkook asked, building a union with Taehyung, Jimin noticed. He also realized how similar Jungkook and Taehyung were. Truly a couple made for each other, he thought to himself with a heavy heart. He had tried to love Taehyung but he was never the right one. And the Taehyung he had loved, hadn't been real. That made the goodbye a little bit more durable for Jimin.

He cracked a single, broken smile at a stunned looking Jungkook.

"Make him happier than I ever could."
