《True Love [BxB] (Unedited)》Chapter 23

Jungkook POV
I don't know how I couldn't have seen it before.
He was the exact copy of Jimin. In the way the way he dressed and the way he acted. The way he talked and moved. All of it was the same and yet, I had failed to notice it.
It all made sense now, how he knew things about me that no one else did, like my panic attacks or my nightmares. How he always knew what to say around me.
Heck he wore those ridiculous hair colours like Jimin did!
I found myself smiling at the memory of how I had argued with Jimim for an hour when he had dyed his hair orange telling me it was the in thing when all I thought was that it made him look a carrot!
I thought back to the first time Taehyung had arrived with bleached blond hair, I had immediately told him to dye it black, hating anything and everything that reminded me of Jimin.
Now that I thought about it, I cherished it.
I found myself liking the way they were so similar, and it almost felt as though Jimin had never left me.
It still hurt that he wasn't with me anymore, but I suppose I found some peace knowing that he hadn't left while he hated me. That he was okay with the choice he made and that it wasn't taken from him.
I let out a sigh as I pulled into the street, surprised that I had actually remembered it. I pulled up in front of the house and parked. I looked at it, not knowing at all what I was going to say or if he would even want to listen to me after I had practically treated him like shit.
I sighed once more before I got out of my car and walked up the pathway that led to a small one story brick house. I stood on the porch and gathered up my balls before I knocked on the door. I waited for a few seconds before the door opened and revealed the face I had been dying to see.

"What do you want?" Taehyung asked as he leaned against the door.
"To talk. Please." I replied and watched him look at me sternly before he opened the door and walked out onto the porch carrying a bouquet of flowers.
"Then talk." He said as he walked down the stairs.
I raised my eyebrow and followed him as he walked down the street. I knew I had said that I wanted to talk but I honestly didn't think he would even listen to me, thus I hadn't thought passed that.
I walked next to him in silence, while he didn't say anything, probably waiting for me to talk.
I took this chance to look at him realizing that he had dyed his hair on odd shade of electric blue. He was wearing his signature skinny jeans that had more holes in them than jeans and a hoodie. I noticed, the closer I looked, that he seemed to look older than when I last saw him. He had dark circles under his eyes and looked as though he hadn't slept.
I narrowed my eyes when I saw him walking towards a cemetery. I followed him, not questioning where he was going as he walked up the steps and through the graves until he came to one and stopped in front of it, making me gasp out loud as I stared at the headstone written in bold letters..
In Loving Memory of Park Jimin
Beloved Brother and Son
I watched as Taehyung bent down and sat on the ground. He crossed his legs and wiped away a few dry leaves from the grave before he gently placed the flowers on the grave and smiled at it.
"Shitface is here today. And I hate to tell you that you won our bet. He totally went ballistic and kicked me out. " he said as he smiled at the grave.

"My job's been fine just a bit busy, and I'm sorry I haven't come to see you that much, I've been caught up at the shop and I can finally make the cappuccino that you like without you know, everything going to shit." He said as he chuckled and reached up to wipe a tear that had rolled down his face.
"I miss you so much brother. But I know you're in a better place and at peace. I hope you're sitting on your ass and resting, lord knows you didn't get to do that here. Don't worry, I'll take of care shitface here and his stubborn ass." He said as he wiped his nose and got up. He bent down and pressed a kiss to the headstone.
"See you again soon brother." He whispered as he turned to me.
"I'll be in the park." He said before he placed his hand on my shoulder for a few seconds before he walked away.
I looked down at the grave and felt like my chest had pulled tight. I honestly had no idea what to say and yet, I had so much to say. Did that even make sense?
I sat down on the ground and placed my hand on the grave, closing me eyes and telling the tears fall down my face.
"Jimin. I..I.. I didn't think I'd get to see you again." I whispered and felt my voice crack as I spoke.
"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry I wasn't stronger for you. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you and I'm sorry that you had to sacrifice yourself for me." I said as I dug my hand into the soil, somehow feeling like I was holding some part of him.
"I'm okay. I'm okay Jimin. I'm better now. I'm stronger, and I wished you could have seen it, but I'm stronger because of you. You made me who I am. So I want you know that I'm okay. That you can rest now. I will be okay." I said as I smiled at the grave and looked up at the sky, knowing he was looking down on me.
I stood up and walked towards the headstone. I touched it and ran my fingers across it. I smiled and bent down, pressing my lips against the cool surface.
"I love you" I whispered as I drew back and looked at it once more.
"I'll come to visit you again soon, and Jimin.." I trailed off as I looked at the grave..
"I do love him and I'll protect him just like you did for me." I said as I smiled and walked backwards to find Taehyung, repeating in my head what I had just uttered..
"I love him and I'll protect him."

Madness Led by the Hands
‘Great, no… splendid. It was for naught.’ ‘Naught? Depends. If your desire is to send an army of killers our family’s way, yes indeed. If it’s plain survival you seek, then no.’ ‘They don’t coexist?’ ‘What… don’t tell me you’re still all groggy from the fall. Perhaps in novels, but real life is much tougher–––many more times a drag than anyone can possibly imagine. If dusty history is not a reliable teacher for you, then the pandemic surely took that place. At least that one has the advantage you needn’t be literate to savvy how reality always trumps imagination.’ ‘Whatever you say, whatever you say. So… what now?’ ‘Now? Isn’t it obvious? Now we shall survive. And live a good life.’ ‘Ohh… pretty much everything here has something against this little weird wish of ours. Might you consider?’ ‘Then pretty much everything here is a goner.’ ‘Hm, I don’t like the sound of that. Too much trouble, you see. I’d prefer laying low somewhere safe.’ ‘…nobody told you it’s mutually exclusive, no–––or did you forget about that too?’ ‘Fine, then I wish my future enemies all the best.’ ‘They are undeserving of your pity.’ ‘Of course not. That unlucky bunch won’t ever comprehend the reason behind their demise. Just let me smoke in peace and offer my condolence in advance.’ ‘Idem, let me study alchemy, unobstructed by all, if possible. This also includes you. By the way, are you sure you smoke to offer condolences? It seems like an excuse to me.’ ‘I-it is none. Plain truth, you see?’ ‘Seriously, why did I even ask...?’

Art of Mortality
New Synopsis after chapter 56: Long long ago, there was a mortal who despised the gods and envied the immortals. Why do the mortals have to die when the gods wish them to? Why do worlds have to perish when the gods say so? Why do only immortals get to live forever, why not mortals like him? As his family, friends, and his loved one died, he lamented. He wailed, he cried. He cursed the immortals, blasphemed the gods, spat at the heavens. But he was just a mere mortal. His curses were pointless, his blasphemous words were useless, and his spits only returned back to fall on his face. At last, he thought, enough was enough, he would definitely do something about it. He decided that it was time for the multiverse to know what a mortal can do. He was the first mortal to cultivate. Eventually, after a long struggle, he killed the Immortals, enslaved the Gods, and shattered the heavens. He reshaped the multiverse and rewrote his fate. In the end, he reincarnated as he decided upon a grand scheme, a scheme to rule 'All and Always'. He came up with the concept of what is known today as 'Paragon'. And with this, all of reality, 'All and Always', was finally reforming, according to a Mortal's Wish. Synopsis (Old): In the vast and complex multiverse, what can a mortal accomplish? In the grand scheme of things, what can a mortal change? In truth, what is a mortal, and what is mortality? Being mortal is being ordinary, the same as being trash, or so says The World. "No, mortality is an art, and a true mortal is a grand artist. Being the root of all, a mortal can become anything.", says a young mortal boy. Meet Edward Alexander, a mortal boy walking the path against gods and immortals, fighting to the end to rewrite his destiny, and change the grand scheme of things. Can he really change the grand scheme of things? Or maybe he himself is the Grand Schemer? To know the answer, follow Edward Alexnder on his journey to demonstrate the Art of Mortality.*******

Statless
Summary Alexander Weiss, an intelligent and slightly unusual man, always dreamt of becoming a mage. Sadly, reality is harsh and even his best efforts never allowed him to achieve his goal during his lifetime... or did they? One has to be careful what they wish for, lest they might live to see it fulfilled. Description Follow Alex, a man whose pursuit of magic could not even be stopped by his non-magical reality, going as far as to create it himself, only to encounter an unsurmountable obstacle shortly before achieving his lifes goal, denying him all access to these powers. His journey will take him through a miraculous world, full of wonders, magic and manic beasts trying to devour him! He will learn much about this world during his adventures, exploring individual aspects of the System and the various monsters that came from it... or did they? Strong points What you'll get from this novel is the following (read with overly enthusiastic salesman-voice) : • An ending! I'll complete it, no matter what. Well, not "no matter what", but as long as I don't unexpectedly end, this novel won't either! • Good grammar! Might not be perfect, but it's definitely good enough to not detract from the story in the slightest. I'll also fix any reported mistakes as soon as possible, be they grammatical, syntactical or just inconsistencies. • No plot-armor! Or plot-weapons! Or plot-... potions? And no plot-holes! If you see some, it's most likely information that is being witheld for future revelations! But in the (hopefully) very unlikely case of such a vile beast being encountered, please inform me immediately and I'll see to slaying it without grace! (Translation: If you see plot-holes, tell me and I'll fix them) • Logic! [Hidden : Spoilers][Hidden : More Spoilers] [Moved to Chapter [Hidden Spoiler]'s Author's Note] Marvelous, I know! • Blue Boxes! And maybe something more! • Sensible retroactive edits! Not to be confused with radioactive edits! You'll not have to re-read previous chapters, even if they get some major edits. If they were to receive new information, I'll add that very information to the newly released chapters too, in a reasonable way. • Realism! Shocking, I know! Especially considering the tag related to that and the point about "Logic!". This also means that the story will be... well, realistically depicting a pretty messed up world. Don't expect bunnies... at least not cute ones. • Relatively faster paced! No long and boring descriptions of irrelevant stuff. There will be some longer descriptions about important things, but that's gonna be necessary world- and/or character-building! • Short action! Might not be a plus for some, but you won't have to look at a whole (or, god forbit, multiple) chapter describing a fight against the same enemy... • Strategy and hard progression! It's a dog-eat-dog world! No grinding/power-creep! If you're up against three enemies of your level at once, you've already lost! • Understanding! It will be mostly about discovering the wonders of this new world and how it became like that, all while trying to survive. So there will be enough action nonetheless! • Humor! Sometimes dark, sometimes light, always at the worst moment! • Constructive critics, welcome! Destructive critics, nope... I can handle criticism though, so don't go easy on me! Just make sure it's really a mistake when complaining about something. • Will add more in the future! If I can think of more stuff...

However, Michael soon finds out that this situation involves way more players, variables, and conflicts of interests than he could calculate.
