It wasn't the bitter taste of alcohol on his tongue or the stench of his own sweat that woke Taehyung up the following morning, it was the pounding of his headache and the instant sensation of nasuea bubbling up the pit of stomach. He tried to avoid it as much as he could but eventually it became too much for him to bear and he groans painfully, peering his eyes open to only shuts his eyes closed when the light hit his eyes.

Damn did I get that badly fucked last night?

Taehyung once again groans groggily and aims to rub his eye but then he feels smething heavy on his chest. He freezes for a moment and peers his eyes open, seeing a familiar blob of silk hair pressed against his chest.

For a second, Taehyung wanted to scream.

He wanted to scream to God, to praise and thank him for it being all just a dream, and he instantly promised he would start being a good christian boy after this experience. Okay, maybe not to that length, but he will try to fix up his shitty habits for sure.

However, that hope instantly faded away the second he noticed that Jungkook's body wasn't moving.

At all.

He's not alive....

That's when an instant rush of memories snaps Taehyung's mind all at once; the bar, drinking hallucination, arguing with Jungkook's body and then.... Sleeping with his corpse.

Oh Taehyung wanted to throw up so bad right about now.

This will be the last time he will hold him in his arms.... Craddle his body against his.... Then he's going to be one with the Earth, like every Oasis member after their death.

He will never see Jungkook's beautiful face again, not until the afterlife and that won't be anytime soon.

A sudden fumbling against his stomach made his body jolt in surprise and that's when he noticed the tiny body behind Jungkook. Taehyung slightly cranes his head and his heart dropped upon seeing Yeosang's body cuddled up to Jungkook, arms tight around his torso with his small face nuzzling to Jungkook's back, breathing heavily in his deep sleep.

He probably had nightmares again and came here after not finding Taehyung.

Taehyung closes his eyes with a tight string squeezing his chest, letting that numbness circulate his body as he runs his finger's through Jungkook's short hair, detatching himself of his emotions for a slight moment just so he can feel him..... Feel Jungkook in his arms.

If only he wasn't so cold, and was breathing, and snoring lightly as he sleeps.

If only he wasn't dead.

Those little things that once meant nothing now means everything to Taehyung, and he didn't know how much he would miss it until now that it's gone. From the smallest trait of Jungkook breathing or feeling his tender touches, those small gestures Taehyung not put too much mind since he thought he would always feel them forever.

Now he's alone, and he yearns for those simple moments once again.

He just wants to feel him breathing again.

Anything.

Suddenly the door creaks open, disturbing Taehyung of his rushing thoughts and in the room steps Seokjin. A deep frown plays his lips upon seeing the sight before his eyes, still unable to believe that this actually happened to his Jungkook. The older's heart breaks apart even more but he swallows it down with a forced smile as he approaches the bed.

"Good morning."

Taehyung licks his lips and holds Jungkook closer to his chest, "Morning.... What time is it?"

For a moment the older remains silent, photographing this moment in his head and the he sighs heavily, "We should start getting ready soon."

It's that time then.

Taehyung and Seokjin share a longing look for a moment and the younger slowly nods, knowing what must happen soon. So he looks down at Jungkook, capturing every single detail his facial features for one last time; his once pink lips now pale, his long eyelashes, sullen cheeks and beautiful raven hair.

His angel is beautiful.

Such a beautiful nerdy angel.

With a weak smile, Taehyung leans and presses a kiss against Jungkook's head, "Your death wasn't in vain. You will have justice..... I'll s-see you soon my beautiful nerdy boy," He whispers one last time and hugs his body before peeling himself off him carefully. As much as he wants to sob all day and let out his anger by going on a killing spree, he can't do that now.

Taehyung is done crying and feeling upset.

Now he just needs to let out this boiling anger and hunger for pain, and the one at the receiving end of that anger will be one specific scattering cockroach that still remains out there stranded, well not for long actually.

Then his eyes settles to Yeosang, feeling a sense of dread about pulling the younger away from his father, but he has to get ready.

Today is the day, and Yeosang needs to be mentally and physically ready.

They are on a time schedule.

"Are you sure he's ready?" Seokjin asks hesitantly, staring at Yeosang with pitiful eyes, but Taehyung doesn't see a small innocent boy as he looks at him now.

He sees a boy that lost his father, who has managed to overcome many difficult obstacles and still remain with a hard head over his shoulders.

He's not a boy anymore.

He's a leader, and today will be his judging day.

"He is, but he's just broken now.... He can use that to his advantage if he can manipulate it appropriately, and for that I will teach him," Taehyung says lowly and carefully goes to Yeosang's side.

For a moment he pauses, taking in this beautiful scene as the child holds his dead father figure and let it bring flashbacks with his father, when he had to bury him. Taehyung understands his pain more than anyone, and for that reason he's not leaving him behind. Not until... He doesn't need him anymore.

So with that in mind, Taehyung begins to carefully shake his shoulder, "Yeosang, baby.. Come on, we have to go," Taehyung cooes softly, but Yeosang only whimpers lowly and tightens his grip around Jungkook.

Uh... This is going to be very difficult.

Taehyung sighs brokenheartedly and delicately digs his arms under Yeosang's body and gently peels him off Jungkook. At first his body was limp, but the second his fingertips brushes away from Jungkook's body, he snaps awake.

And he instantly broke apart.

Yeosang's arms instantly latches back to Jungkook and he cries loudly, "Don't take me away from him! L-Leave me with my d-dad! I want m-my dad!"

Taehyung closes his eyes for a moment, his grip still tight around Yeosang as he tries to gather his rising anxiety and he pulls him tighter away, trying hard to block out Yeosang's hysterical shouts of protests.

The younger screams loudly, clawing to his father as Taehyung peels him away by his torso but the younger struggles aggressively against his iron strong hold. Yeosang wails angrily and attempts to kick him but Taehyung sucked up all the hits and continues to peel him away completely until he's offically off Jungkook, and that's when Yeosang began to throw a tantrum against Taehyung's arms.

"Don't take me away from him! Let me die with him! I can't live without my kookie!" Yeosang yells brokenheartedly and turns around to pound against Taehyung's chest, "Let me go! Let me be with my Kookie! I HATE YOU! WHY DID YOU TAKE ME AWAY! W-WHY DID M-MY KOOKIE D-DIE! W-Why can't w-we be...... H-happy together."

Taehyung struggles hold back his sobs from his clenching throat, the bubbling emotional pain only intensifying by the second he holds tighter against the younger. He ended up switching his hold to a hug instead, pressing Yeosang's face against his chest and his chest against him, holding him tightly in comfort.

The younger's aggression was still fierce, fighting against Taehyung's arms aggressively, but soon enough it dwindled down and Yeosang ended up lays his whole body weight against Taehyung, wrapping his arms around his torso tightly for support.

"I-I can't live w-without him..... I want to be w-with Kookie," Yeosang sobs quietly as Taehyung runs his fingers through his hair, attempting to calm him down like the many times it has helped Jungkook calm down.

And it worked.

"I know baby, I know," Taehyung whispers delicately and kisses his head, "I need you, okay?.... We need each other. Be strong little warrior, you know Jungkook would want that too," Taehyung cooes softly, trying to convince himself the same thing as well.

He has to keep his promise.

The promise Jungkook made him swear once upon a time, the night the Oasis leader met Harry, the Orchid leader. The promise to guide and train Yeosang if anything were to happen to him.

Jungkook always saw his death coming, not knowing when it will happen but he was always ready. So for him and Yeosang, Taehyung will help mold Yeosang into the leader he is capable of being.

The sound of a door creaking open catches Taehyung's attention and he looks up slowly, his heart nearly dropping to his knees the second he sees the familiar smaller man standing there, tears beaming his eyes with his gaze focused to the motionless Jungkook on the bed, that Seokjin has helped lay down on a better position on the bed

He's here.

Jimin came back.

"Oh G-God," Jimin breathes and his quivering legs gave out, the tears now freely escaping his eyelids with a hand pressed to his chest, "J-Jungkookie..... Is t-this my J-Jungkookie?"

Yeosang perks his head up the second he heard Jimin's voice and his face crumbles up instantly to the sight of the familiar man. Without thinking he rushes towards him and gets to his knees to hug his body tightly, providing comfort to the broken man. Jimin remains frozen, shocked eyes to the bed but he grips Yeosang's body against his, screwing his eyes shut as he breathes heavily, trying hard to control his panic attack.

The blue haired man stares at them with a tight throat but no tears escapes his eyes. He fought hard to withold his tears back so he won't have to cry anymore, but then he feels a hand on his shoulder, snapping him out of the scene.

"You know," Seokjin says lowly, "It's okay to not be strong all the time Tae.... It's okay to break apart when you need to."

Taehyung lets his eyes fall to Jungkook on the bed, who now laid down on the bed like how Taehyung saw him last night, before moving his eyes slowly to Seokjin, who's fighting the tears from escaping his eyelids.

So without another word, Taehyung grabs Seokjin and presses his face against his neck. The older freezes for a moment with his body suddenly shaking as he sniffs back the sobs but then he releases his cry, his hands slowly gripping onto Taehyung tightly while the other comfortly holds him.

And then Seokjin broken down.

"I lost my baby," Seokjin wheezes out painfully, "My JK.... I lost my baby..... I lost my baby" He continues to cry heavily and Taehyung soothing sways them from side to side, his entire focus on Jungkook with the sound of Jimin's sniffles and Yeosang's small whimpers in the background.

They all lost someone; Seokjin lost his baby, Jimin lost his best friend, Yeosang lost his father, and Taehyung..... He lost his everything.

However, now isn't the time to grief.

Now is the time for blood.

So with that in mind, he pulls Seokjin away and presses a comforting kiss against his forehead, "We have a job to do, we'll grieve later, okay?," He says lowly, making the older breath heavily with a nod solemnly to Taehyung's words.

He's right, they have a job to do.

Jungkook wouldn't want them to ever delay a job, even for him.

Taehyung nods slowly back to the older and turns to the pair kneeled down on the floor, slowly approaching them but then stops. Something struck his chest the second he made eye contact with Jimin's teary eyes; his eyes are wide and hysterical with his parted lips in a deep frown, the shock and hysteria clear in his face but he's not crying.

He's completely destroyed, but he's completely shocked.

He hasn't processed this fully yet, and Taehyung knows it's a matter of time before the smaller snaps completely to the harsh reality.

Jimin lost his first love, and no matter how over he was from it, that was still his Jungkook.

He was still his best friend.

Their bond was thicker than any friendship Taehyung has ever seen. The moment Jimin snaps, he knows the smaller will completely break; from reality, sanity, emotions, everything.

He's going to be so broken, but he won't be alone. Taehyung made a small promise to be right there for his emotional support.

Taehyung frowns and kneels in front of him, caressing the skin on his cheeks with his thumbs before guiding his face close to his, pressing their foreheads together.

"I love him too Jimin," Taehyung whispers, making the other inhale heavily and screw his eyes shut, "I need you to be strong right now. Both of you," and he raises a hand to place it on Yeosang's back, who had calmed down slightly from his crying.

Jimin takes slow breathes, controlling his fumbling emotions and then he nods sternly, not able to say anything else other than that, and Taehyung understood.

At the moment, Jimin will be anything Taehyung wants him to be just to not face this reality yet, it's too soon.

The rest of the gang members however has grown to accept their leader's death and have been grieving heavily; many men and women even fell into a deep spiral of depression, many committing suicide or has tried to commit suicide but other members has stopped them. Truth is, their leader, who gave them a roof over their heads and support for their lives is now gone. Everyone here has gained a strong bond and admiration for their young leader, and it's going to be a process to just..... Move from his death. No matter how much respect they had for the main five and Yeosang, Jungkook was different. He was witty and smart, yet he always cared about each of the members profoundly. And that gained him not only respect from the members, but also their love and devotion without the art of manipulation.

The gang members in the lobby didn't last long in their moments of grieving since Namjoon's has order everyone to prepare for the events of today, those of despair emotions were instantly sliced off and replaced with anger.

Everyone will get their justice.

All for their glorious leader.

So everyone got to work on preparing their weapons and their attire. The young spawn is currently in the process of getting dressed after loading up his guns and sharpening his blades and in the midst of swinging on his long black coat over his shoulder, he hears a soft knock against his door. He mumbles a low 'come in' and the door creaks open with Hwanwoong popping his head inside.

The taller weakly smiles at him and continues to clip his coat on as Hwanwoong enters the room, revealing his whole dark attire with the black harness on his small body.

Except the fact that that harness is not strapped on.

"Hey," Hwanwoong greets nervously, shyly glancing at the floor, "I needed some help.... With the harness.... If you don't mind."

Yeosang clips on his coat together and approaches the smaller boy. He makes eye contact with him for a moment, holding it intensely before yanking him closer by the straps, letting his emotionless eyes trail from Hwanwoong's now flushed face and down to the ends of the straps, putting them together in ease and slightly tightening them up but not too tight to suffocate the smaller boy.

What a lovely excuse to be in the same room together, Yeosang must admit that the smaller is indeed creative, but if he wanted to see him, he could've just came in without any problem.

"Aren't you scared?"

Yeosang moves his eyes to Hwanwoong's face, seeing the slight unease expression spreading his eyes like wildfire to the thought of his question. Yeosang stares at his face for a moment and straps the last hit of harness, and he shakes his head, "No, I'm doing this for Kookie, and if it's for him then I'm not afraid."

"Well....I am."

To this he closely studies his eyes, seeing the slight fear in the smaller's wide brown eyes and he frowns deeply, "Why?"

" Because Yeosang, I don't want to lose you," Hwanwoong says hesitantly, fiddling with his fingers nervously, "Look I know I barely know you and we barely know each other, and I shouldn't be worried, but you became someone really close to me and I..... They took everything away from me and I d-don't-"

Yeosang suddenly grabs his face tenderly, making the other instantly quiet down to the soft yet intense gaze Yeosang is staring him with. He falls deeper into the taller's chocolate brown eyes and finds comfort to the soft touch against his jaw, caressing away his every fear to the trance that is his whole presence.

"Hwannie, listen to me," Yeosang whispers sternly, catching the others entire attention almost instantly as he places his tender hands against his wrists, "Nothing, absolutely nothing will take me away from you. I don't die so easily, let alone will let anyone fucking kill me. If there's anything my Kookie taught me, it was to be tougher than he ever was, to be ready and..... to know how to manage my affections and knowledge so I wouldn't blind my awareness..... To not be weak for love like how he loved Taehyungie."

The smaller boy frowns deeply to this And Yeosang leans their foreheads together, closing their eyes for a moment, "Don't worry about me. I'm more worried about you..... You will be the first to face him.... Who knows what he will do to you before we come in."

And he wasn't lying, he is worried for the smaller boy. Liam must expect him to be dead by now and could kill him on the spot if he does one wrong move. If Yeosang loses both Jungkook and Hwanwoong in a span of less than a week, he will lose his entire sanity all together.

Hwanwoong smiles softly and rises to his toes, pressing a sweet kiss against his cheek, "I know how to handle Liam, but...... He won't exactly believe me if.... You know.... I don't..."

Yeosang stares into his eyes for a moment and sighs heavily, gently letting go of his face once he understood what Hwanwoong was trying to tell him, and he didn't want to do it.

However, if he's going to face that man..... He must look the part.

The greetings of Oasis.

"Are you sure?" Yeosang whispers and the smaller nods, inhaling a deep breath and he closes his eyes to embrace himself.

"Let it out Yeosang, it's okay."

And just like that Yeosang landed a punch across his face. One punch became more and Hwanwoong ended up laying on the floor, taking in all of Yeosang's hits against his stomach and body with weak eyes and heavy groans, sometimes shrieking yelps. Yeosang eventually grew so lost in his rage that he entirely let his mind slip on who was the smaller boy on the ground. His mind blurred surrounding by only pain and anger.

And Liam.

And his dead Jungkookie.

His strikes became more sharp and hard, wanting to see more blood escaping the young boy's pink lips and nose, the lust for blood and pain so he can feel his suffering. His mind completely clouded itself in that dark cloud and he didn't connect back to himself at all until strong arms instantly yanks him back from the limp boy on the floor. He struggles aggressively against the arms, but upon seeing the blood on his fists and then to a wounded Hwanwoong on the ground, he snaps back to his sanity.

Shit...

He went too far.

"Hwannie!" He shrieks worriedly and tries to reach to him but the familiar arms held him back.

Soobin.

He snarls his teeth and fights against the arms, "Let me go Soobin!"

"No!" Soobin bellows with his voice in a deep growl, "What the fuck were you thinking!"

Hwanwoong suddenly pushes his weak arms against the wooden floor, slightly wheezing but he holds a shaking hand up to Soobin, "It's okay, let him go."

Soobin hesitates for a moment but then let's Yeosang go, who only sends him a death glare and rushes over to help the injured boy, "I'm so sorry, I-I got way too a-ahead of myself. Are you okay? Wait that's a stupid question since you're not-"

The smaller onl offers him a weak smile from his bloody lip, "It's okay. Definitely it'll be believable now," He wheezes painfully and let's Yeosang help him to his feet.

After making sure he was okay, Yeosang's eyes falls to Soobin, his eyes softening with regret for how he acted with him, "I'm sorry for being too harsh.... I just needed to-"

"It's fine," Soobin cuts him off and walks to the door, "Just don't kill each other," He says sourly and walks out, leaving a tensing silence to fill the air.

The fuck was that about?
