『I need to be a man and let you go with a smile』

Times running out.

Yoongi stepped back in shock and realization. "By time running out..you meant your time. Why didn't you tell me!" Yoongi yelled.

Hoseok lifted his bleeding nose towards the roof, "S-sorry, Yoongi.." he mumbled.

"If I'd known then I wouldn't have been so stupid- how long, Hoseok! How long do you have!" Yoongi demanded as his heart slowly crumbled.

"N-not..much." Hoseok murmured.  with a cough in between.

Soon enough, authorities came knocking down Jimin's shack. At this point, Yoongi didn't care to hide anymore, he didn't care about anything but his beloved Hoseok. Yoongi carried Hoseok on his back and with all his strength, began sprinting to the city.

Yoongi reached the busiest part of the city, downtown. Cars beeping and loud noises, arguments, but all this stopped when Yoongi made an appearance.

"Listen up! It's true. I am a black cat hybrid and I'm the last one because of you! I can prove to you that us hybrids have feelings, I'll prove it! The first day I met Hoseok, I hated him. Because he was a human. As the days went by, he tried so many times to get along with me, to get my trust," Hoseok heard every word as he was on Yoongi's back.

"Eventually. I fell for him, I didn't want to admit it but I did. I, a hybrid, am in love with a human!" Yoongi yelled out proudly causing the people to look at him in confusion but others in awe.

Hoseok couldn't help but wail on Yoongi's shoulder.

"He's right there! Get him!" The officers had arrived. Yoongi attempted to run again but stop when he heard something strange, Hoseok's breathing began collapsing.

The officers had arrived next to Yoongi, getting a hold of him.

"Wait," Yoongi spoke as he placed Hoseok on the ground. The officers didn't wait, they raced towards Yoongi, gripping his wrists. Yoongi instantly attacked, they're getting in my way.

Hoseok's eyes were tight shut as he tried breathing, soon he began coughing and his face was pale. One of the officers came to check his pulse, "He's dying." He stated. "Call the ambulance, now!"

Yoongi forcefully pulled his arms, the officer's grip slipping. He quickly kneeled down to Hoseok and tears filled his eyes.

"Stop.. playing, Hoseok. Wake up and let's go home..." Yoongi mumbled tightly gripping Hoseok's shirt. 

Hoseok didn't respond.

His life was slowly fading away.

"Eomma, ..always told me if I were to bring back someone. It should be someone I cared for, but I never believed her. I..refused to give up my life to someone who I didn't care for. Now that I have someone I care for and love,

I refuse to let them die." the older stated, sternly.

"Is he going to do what I think?" One of the officers asked from behind, surprised.

Yoongi gently leaned in and kissed Hoseok's pink lips and held Hoseok's forehead.

"I love you, Jung Hoseok."

/ᐠ_ ꞈ _ᐟ\

Hoseok slowly opened his eyes, he looked at his surroundings. He was in a hospital bed, his hand attached to something and he was now wearing white clothes.

"You really woke up." Dr. Kang said, surprised while walking towards Hoseok.

Hoseok instantly sat up in his bed. "Where's Yoongi!" He demanded, desperately.

Dr. Kang's expression fell. "The hybrid. As soon as he touched your forehead he ran away, it was impossible to find him. It's most likely that he died from reviving you," Dr. Kang explained.

Hoseok's world began crashing down. He didn't want it happening like this, why did it have to be him? Now, Yoongi was truly gone. Hoseok can't save him now.

"There was a note left in your pocket." Dr. Kang stated while handing Hoseok a folded note.

Hoseok quickly took the note in his hands, reading it.

___

To Jung Hoseok,

You are probably reading this because I'm already gone from this world. I must have died or given up my life for yours, who knows what's to come.

My previous owner wanted me to give up my life for their ill daughter but I refused. That's when I met you, outside of the music store. You knew I was dangerous yet you still carried me, sorry about the scratches.

Thank you Hoseok. Thanks for showing me what it feels like to be wanted and loved.

I finally understand now.

   Your cat,      

Yoongles

___

Tears started dropping one by one landing on the letter in Hoseok's hand. He knew how much Yoongi hated that name,

Yoongles.
