《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."

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.

Now, after a harrowing journey to the most sacred place in the Five Kingdoms, the Drymyn Order, a mysterious sect of powerful priests and priestesses, have pronounced the omens favorable, and her wedding to King Eowain of Droma has been arranged. But Eithne has the right to accept—or reject—her suitor. She did not set this geas upon herself, didn't ask for the special attention of the Gods to her love-life. Yet the time for her decision has come. Eowain has proven himself loyal, brave, kind—all the things any woman might ask from a man. But there’s the way of it: this is the man, you must marry him. Is she not a free woman? Was she not guaranteed the right of choice? Eithne is frustrated by the expectation that she will simply acquiesce to her fate, that she must accept that the Gods wove some secret pattern for her life and she can do nothing to stop it. So how can she prove she has the freedom to choose if she doesn't choose, “No”? How can she know for herself that her will is truly her own if she consents?
