Song Recommendation:
Silent Night- Pentatonix (it's magical :'))

________

The night is quiet; a tranquil and serene type of quiet. It's that type of silence where one can't laugh or it'll disturb the soft texture lingering in the air. The type where one is forced to remember, to feel, to inhale this moment and let it sink in their chests. Let the reality sink in.

The reality being?

Well, someone very dear isn't here anymore and it's time to let him go.

Through the double doors of the entrance of the apartment walks Seokjin, Taehyung, Jimin and Namjoon carrying a shiny brown wooden plank by the handles on the sides, while Yoongi carries the back and Hoseok the front. It's not that the plank is heavy itself, but more so they all wanted to carry out their leader together.

The ones closest with him.

Taehyung would glance at his motionless baby every once in a while, trying hard to convince himself that he's only sleeping and that he will be at peace soon.

Even if it means he won't ever have that peace for the rest of his life.

Yeosang walks right beside the the smooth wooden that Jungkook lays on, keeping a head high with a white flower in hand as they approach the crowd of people, surrounding the pit of fire by the center of their circle.

Everyone has a white flower in hand as well.

The main five plus Taehyung and Yeosang didn't reach the flames yet when they got through the crowd, instead they put the plank down to follow the ceremony. Yeosang's stood in the wide circle beside the scorching fire, with his head held high as he grabs the knife from his pocket and slices his palm, not too deep but deep enough to draw blood. He splatters the liquid on top of the white rose, staining it with a scarlet red. Everyone mimics his actions, staining their white roses with their own blood and one by one they threw the roses in the flames; saying their last words to their leader as a symbol of letting go and acceptance.

They are letting their leader go in peace.

Seokjin couldn't say anything without crying when it came to his turn, so he only said 'My baby' before dropping the flower to the flames, letting it swallow itself in the heart and burn away his pain. When it came to Namjoon's turn, he bowed completely to the ground, expressing his gratitude and moments the two spent together before throwing the flower in the fire. Hoseok didn't say anything when he was next, only stares at flames with complete emotionless eyes, but places a sweet kiss against the rose where the blood didn't touch it and throws it in the pit, not uttering another word even afterwards. Yoongi followed soon afterwards, who stares at the fire pit with tears beaming his eyes, saying a simple 'I miss you' and 'In peace you go now butterfly' before throwing in the flower.

Next is Taehyung.

He didn't do or say anything at first, only stares at the rose in hand with a heavy heart and unspoken words racing his mind of what he could say. However, the second he lets his gaze fall to Jungkook's dead body on the carrier, he knew words would never be enough to express how he feels at this very moment. Instead of throwing the flower in the pit, he approaches his lifeless lover, carefully placing the rose in between his hands..

Now they will be together.

In life and in death.

Forever.

Taehyung closes his eyes and leans down, pressing his warm lips against Jungkook's cold lips, bringing it back to their first kiss up until to their last being this moment right here.

God he misses him so much.

For a second Taehyung breaks a sob but swallows it back down as he pulls back, looking at the bolt ring on Jungkook's hand and decided to let him keep it.

Jungkook would actually kill him if he ever took that ring off again.

And Taehyung doesn't have the dignity to take it off, so he steps away instead, seeing his lover for the last time in his sleep like state, just in time when Jimin approaches the pit of fire. If Taehyung appears as lifeless as a ghost, there's no comparison to how dead Jimin's eyes are as they stare at the flames; Bruises are evident on his eyes from the lack of sleep and his complexion has completely grew pale from the starvation. He didn't even bother fixing his hair for this event, its all in a messy blonde blob in his head.

His eyes stares at the fire and inhaled deeply before closing his eyes, "The universe was made, just to be seen by your eyes," he whispers quietly, remembering their childhood promise and slowly letting it go by throwing the flower to the pit of fire. Letting go of those tender moments, forever.

Louis stands beside him, running a hand against his back in comfort as they move to stand beside Yoongi and Hoseok in the circle, with everyone staring at the fire pit with a heavy heart in their chest. That's until Beomgyu, Han, and Mingi lifted the wooden carrier and laid it on the fire carefully, letting their eyes fall heavy as the flames slowly began to lick the wood along with the body as if it was drenched in gasoline.

Taehyung couldn't watch, it all seemed so familiar from when Harry killed Genevieve right before his eyes. As much a he tried to protect Jungkook from the same fate, he still ended up like this.

Dead.

Like everyone in Taehyung's life.

Suddenly he feels a head on his shoulders and a hand around his waist, followed by a quiet humming.

That's when it all hit Taehyung; He's not alone. Jungkook is gone but he made sure he didn't leave Taehyung with no one.

As much as Taehyung would hate to admit it, Oasis has became his family, and he knows that no matter what happens, they will always be right there for him.

And he trusts them very much.

So he carefully wraps his arms around Yeosang, placing a kiss on his head and gently sways them to the side.

Suddenly Solar and Hwanwoong approach fire pit and stand right beside it, sending each other reassuring looks before closing their eyes and taking deep breathes.

"Silent Night...... Holy Night.... All is gone.... All is bright," They began to harmonize together, their beautiful voices syncing in like honey, beautiful and in depth with laces of emotions and power that can send evident shivers down anyone's body..

It's actually amusing how Jungkook was never one for being religious, but this fits this moment far too perfectly; the beautiful clear night sky, someone is gone but the flame is bright. A prince fading into a deep never ending sleep. It perfect. Everyone felt moved by the moment, the voices, the reality of what's going on as it all molds together to this exact moment in time.

Especially for Jimin.

In front of him, a few feet to the side he could see Taehyung holding Yeosang to his side, fighting in their tears as they stare at the person they once love transforming into nothing but ashes.

The cold and burning reality slammed into Jimin so hard to the point he had to bend over with a hand to his chest as he heaves deep breathes, all air escaping his lungs as he watches Jungkook's body burn in flames.

Jungkookie...

This is real.....

This is actually real...

"Jimin," Yoongi whispers beside the man, noticing his boyfriend's sudden distress clear behind his eyes, "Are you okay?"

Jungkook.....

Jungkook is dead....

My best friend is dead.....

There's no cheating here, no hidden disguises, it's all..... True.

And Jimin has tried so hard to stall it, up to this moment, when it became to much to hold in.

Jimin covers his mouth with his shaking hand and didn't stop himself from moving to the front line, moving down to stand in front of the barren husband and heartbroken son. The second they see Jimin, Taehyung's eyes crumbles to realization that Jimin has finally came to accept it.

It processed..

"M-My Jungkookie..... H-He's not dead, right?" Jimin shudders feverishly, his body now shaking with tears bursting his eyes, "H-He's dead..."

Taehyung frowns deeply and holds Jimin's face with his own tears bursting his eyes, "He's gone Jimin."

The smaller shakes his head fiercely and completely shatters to pieces, crashing his whole body onto Taehyung, who only holds onto him tightly while letting his wall crumble to pieces as well, breaking down with his soulmate to their deceased loved one. The screams and painful cries that escaped Jimin's lips is completely heart broken that made anyone feel even more sentimental just by hearing him cry.

Everyone knew his and Jungkook's friendship, and it only hurts more to see these souls being separated from this life.

Yeosang reaches over and hugs them both with his thin arms, closing his eyes as he holds onto them tightly with the tears escaping his lips.

Eventually more arms join in from the rest of the main five, comforting each other as their leader burn from the existence of this earth.

Now not only being here, but everywhere.

And they will always be connected together.
