Tae, Jin and Jimin are eagerly waiting for Namjoon and others to come back, hopefully with some good news. It's been more than three hours since they had gone to the airport to get some news.

The trio is sitting in the living room of Jungkook and Tae's apartment. Tae is sitting between his Eomma and best friend. They were sitting while hugging each other, trying to draw some much needed strength from the embrace.

It's nearly 6pm, the sun has already set, the moon is on it's way to rise. It's going to be full moon tonight, a beautiful night bathed in moonlight, a night that all lovers rejoice.

Tae too had made so many plans for this night. He too wanted to enjoy this full moon night with his love. He wanted to bathe in the bright light of the moon with his husband, his love beside him. But is he ever going to get the chance to do it in this lifetime?

The doorbell rang, announcing the arrival of the four people, the trio was eagerly waiting for. Tae was going to get up from his seat but Jimin stopped him,

"I'll see it," he said and the other two nodded.

With his heart pounding loudly, Jimin opened the door and came face to face with a defeated looking Kim Namjoon.

Jimin has known this man for almost all his life and he has never seen him like this before, looking so miserable, so defeated. Jimin felt an ominous feeling settling in his stomach, seeing Namjoon like this.

"Where is Tae?" Namjoon asked in a gruff voice.

"Inside" Jimin answered. Namjoon nodded his head hearing it and entered the apartment, started walking towards the living room.

Next came in Soomin and Hoseok, Soomin's eyes are puffy indicating that she had been crying. She has her right hand wrapped around her boyfriend.

Jimin looked at Hoseok who looked nothing like Jung Hoseok, J-hope as his fans call him lovingly. This Jung Hoseok looked utterly hopeless, the usual cheerful, sunshine looked like a tired gloomy man as if the dark clouds had covered his whole being. Soomin took him inside, her hand still wrapped around him.

As the couple left Jimin finally saw his boyfriend. He gasped as he took in the sight of the usual stoic looking Min Yoongi, his pale face looked even paler, his eyes bloodshot, shoulders dropping.

As Yoongi's eyes met with the concerned one's of his boyfriend's, he just threw himself on the younger boy and buried his face in Jimin's neck.

"H..hyung" Jimin said in a shaking voice as he felt hot tears wetting his shoulder.

"We lost him" Min Yoongi somehow managed to utter these three words and a sob escaped Jimin's lips "no" the boy mumbled.

Before any of them could say anything more they heard a loud shout followed by wails from inside.

"Tae!" The both said simultaneously and looked at each other. The couple rushed to the living room.

The sight in the living room was heartbreaking.

As soon as Namjoon came into his view, Tae ran to his father.

"Appa, appa, did you bring Kookie with you? That news, that news is not true right? My Kookie, he came with you didn't he? Where is he? Kookie, Kookie, came to your baby please, please stop this game of hide and seek, I don't like this game. Please come to me, kookie" Tae kept asking and blabbering like a mad person.

Namjoon felt his heart breaking into a million pieces seeing his son's state. No parent can bear that sight of their child. No parent will ever want their child to go through the anguish that Tae is going through.

Namjoon pulled Tae into his arms and hugged the boy tightly "I am sorry" this is all he could mutter.

Tae, who was fidgeting in his arms, trying to break free and go to the front door to see his Kookie, stilled, he pulled a little from the hug and stared at his father's face "what do you mean?" He asked, frowning, his heart beating frantically.

"I am sorry, Tae, I couldn't bring your Kookie back to you. He, he had checked in, he was in that plane. He, he is not going to come back, he is.." Namjoon struggled to utter the next set of words "." He said.

Tae pushed his father from himself with such a force that Namjoon stumbled back.

"" Tae shouted, his eyes full of disbelief, "no you are lying, tell me you are lying" he demanded and Namjoon casted his eyes downwards.

Tae looked around the room and ran to Hoseok and Soomin, he held Hoseok's hand, "hyung, hyung you are his best friend, you tell me the truth. Tell me that was not true, my Kookie, he didn't die? Tell me hyung" he pleaded with Hoseok who just lowered his head, unable to say anything.

As Tae saw him lowering his head, he started taking back steps "no, this can't be true" he kept mumbling to himself "no my Kookie, my Kookie can't leave me, he can't leave me like this." Tears started pouring like rains from his eyes "no it can't be. He can't, I didn't even tell him how much I love him. No kookieeee" he turned back and ran into Jungkook's room.

Jin was going to follow him but Namjoon stopped him by holding his hand. Jin looked back at his husband with tear filled eyes "Joonie?" He said.

"Leave him alone for sometime," Namjoon told him.

"How can I Joonie? Didn't you see his state? He was crying Joonie" Jin said.

"Let him cry, he needs to get it out. He needs to come to terms with this news and he needs to do it alone, give him some time alone, '' Namjoon told him.

Jin understood what his husband meant, but still his heart cried for his child who is in so much pain and he can't even do anything to lessen it. The only person who could have comforted Tae, the only one who could soothe his pain, Tae's husband, Tae's Kookie is now gone forever.

Jin buried his face in Namjoon's chest and cried out "why it has to be Jungkook? why my child has to bear so much pain, why?"

"I don't know Jinnie, I really don't know" Namjoon mumbled as the tears that he was holding for so long finally ran down his face.

You came close to me, still the distances (between us) didn’t eradicate

Our (love)story remained incomplete

It’s not necessary that the Sky always gets to meet the Earth

True love is that love which doesn’t reach its destination

Tae fell to his knees as he entered the room that was supposed to be theirs from today. There is an unbearable pain in his heart. He clutched his heart and sobbed "Kookie, please come back, please Kookie I beg you, please come back to me" he kept pleading in his heart. But no one came.

There were colours, there was a glow, when You were besides me

This world was like heaven

On the sands of time, something which seemed like my name

You wrote it and then disappeared leaving me behind

Our incomplete story, our incomplete story

He looked around the room, the room that is filled with the memories of Jungkook. He kept remembering all the love filled moments he has spent with his love in this room. The bed where he had slept in the warm embrace of his husband but now he is never going to feel that warmth ever again. Those arms are never going to be wrapped around him. Those lips are never going to kiss him. He will never be able to see that bunny smile, his favorite smile ever again. Never again he will be able to listen to those steady heartbeats.

I collided with Your scent don’t know how

Look while walking how far I’ve come

If this is heaven, then why can’t I find You anyplace

The Moon and the Sun are all here

I’ve been waiting for You since decades

It (the story) is thirsty (incomplete) since so long

He got up and went to the bed. Picking up Jungkook's t-shirt, that was still lying there, he placed it near his nose and tried to take in the smell, of Jungkook, lingering on it as much as he could. But that smell already seems to be fading like how the person to whom it belongs has faded.

Tae hugged it closer to himself, trying to feel Jungkook's arms wrapped around him but sadly he couldn't. Hot tears of pain and despair kept flowing from his eyes.

He slid down the bed and sat on the floor staring at the beautiful full moon, that is bathing the whole world with light, but there is only darkness inside his heart.

As he stared at the full moon, Tae kept remembering all the things that Jungkook had said to him, all the promises he made but eventually broke every single of them by leaving this world so suddenly.

"see I'm here. You don't need to be scared"

"I am scared Kookie, I am so much scared, I need you but why are you not with me?"

"

"You didn't stay, you left, you left me alone"

"I don't have anyone except you please don't leave me"

"I didn't, you left me. Why did you leave me?"

"Do I have to find you in stars too, Kookie?"

"Who is going to take care of me Kookie?"

"okay then please take care of me"

"I want to, I want to take care of you for my whole life. Why didn't you give me the chance to do it?"

"I won't let anything happen to you, till I'm with you nothing can harm you"

"But you won't be with me from now on, will you? What if something happens to me, someone harms me, who is going to save me Kookie? Who is going to protect me if not you?"

"to me you are the most important person in the world everything else comes after you"

"Lier, you lied to me. If I am really the most important person for you, then where did you go leaving me?"

"I'm not leaving you"

"Another lie, you left me"

"See I am crying now but why are you not coming to wipe my tears? I am in so much pain, why are you not here to soothe me? You don't like to see tears in my eyes right? But now these tears are all that I am left with"

"How am I ever going to smile after losing you?"

Our incomplete story,

our incomplete story

It's half past ten, inside the gloomy apartment, in the semi dark living room were sitting six people. Six people who today lost someone very dear to them. The person who was really close to their hearts, the person who was an inevitable part of their life.

Jin and Namjoon were sitting on the couch, Jin was leaning his head on Namjoon's shoulder. Occasional sniffs can be heard from him. One side he was immensely saddened and pained by the sudden demise of his son-in-law. On the other side he was very much worried about his son.

Tae was still in Jungkook's room, still sitting in the same position, staring at the moon. Both Jin and Jimin had gone to him, tried to talk to him, tried to make him talk but let alone talking the boy has refused to even look at him. Defeated they both came back to the living room.

Namjoon was silently blaming himself, if only he hadn't sent Jungkook on that business trip, nothing of this wouldn't have happened. Jungkook wouldn't have boarded that cursed plane, he wouldn't have died, Tae wouldn't have become like this. He kept blaming and cursing himself for all that has happened.

Jimin has his face buried in Yoongi's chest. The way he saw his best friend, the way Tae kept crying and behaving like a mad person, that memory is never going to leave his mind. He can't bear to see his Taetae like that.

Yoongi felt miserable, losing Jungkook like this, he has never imagined something like this even in his biggest nightmare. They had become friends from the very first day of his middle school. He, Jungkook and Hoseok, they were always together, supporting each other in every thick and thin. Now that Jungkook is gone nothing is going to be the same again.

Soomin still has her hands wrapped around Hoseok, who seems to be devastated. Jungkook was not only his best friend but brother. They have been friends for so long that they have become a family. Losing him like this is unbearable.

Soomin doesn't know for whom she should feel more worried, her boyfriend who lost his best friend that was like a brother to him or the boy who is sitting like a statue inside that room, the boy who is as dear as a brother to her. The boy whose life ended even before it started. They were all so happy, why this has to happen now only. Why did Jungkook have to go like this? Like this where they couldn't even see him for the on last time.

All of them were lost in their miseries. None of them noticed a shadowy figure entering the gloomy apartment.

As that shadowy figure saw them all sitting there,

The shadowy figure asked.
