Number 6 Namjoon:))))))))))))))))))))))
6. “You can’t die. Please don’t die.”
You didn’t know how it came to this.
How could it have even escalated like this?
A trashed wedding venue, your family and loved ones quieted with fear as they anticipated the nerve-wracking scene that was ensuing between you, Taehyung, and Namjoon.
How could you have known that Taehyung had been in love with you all this time? Or even at all? He had been your friend since high school and was always there for you, to comfort and care and love you when you needed it most in your darkest hours. He was always cheerful and happy to see you. Always so warm and welcoming with you. That’s usually how it goes with friends, right?
You had always known him to be calm and collected, never voicing his emotions or feelings because that’s just how he was so you never dug into him than he let up.
So why of all days did he decide to snap?
It all happened so quick… the beautiful venue draped in white and pastels of pink and yellow. It was your wedding day with Namjoon. The day that would connect the two of you as one, signifying that the both of you would be together forever, to have and to hold, to love and to cherish…til death do you part.
“If I can’t have you, no one will, (Y/N)! I promise we’ll be together on the other side! And I’ll love you better than he can!” Taehyung cried as he pointed the gun faced at you.
You stood frozen and speechless, unable to form any sort of sentence. Fear sucked the air from your lungs and the pounding of your heart was louder than ever before. Tears only fell from your face as you watched Taehyung’s pointer finger slowly begin to pull the trigger. You squeezed your eyes shut in anticipation, waiting for the bullet to shoot through your chest.
“No! (Y/N)!” Namjoon yelled in desparation.
The gun shot and sounded, echoing off the walls in the venue. You winced and waited for the pain to shoot through your chest. You waited to drop to the floor but you never did.
You opened your eyes to see your white wedding dress still intact and unstained with blood, but you’re horrified when you look up to see Namjoon in front of you, smiling with a tear falling down his cheek, the white shirt under his suit stained blood-red with a growing diameter.
“NO!!” You shrieked, tears immediately falling from your face as Namjoon fell forward and collapsed into your arms. You kneeled to the ground with him and held him in your arms.
In the background cops have finally arrived at the scene, pointing their guns at Taehyung and urging him to put his hands in the air and put the gun down. He smiles with tears streaming down his face as he drops the gun and slowly raises his hands in the air. He watches you, cheeks stained with tears he may never get to catch again as he himself took the love of your life with his own hands. The act was nonetheless satisfying, yet nothing pained him more to see you broken as you were now. He continued to turn his head back as he was handcuffed and forced out of the venue, sad to see you go as it may as well have been his last.
“No, no, no, no! Namjoon- baby-,” you whimpered with tears, applying pressure to the wound in his chest. “Why did you do that for me..?”
Namjoon weakly placed his hand on yours as it pressed against his chest. “I love you… (Y/N),” he coughed, softly grinning. “You’ve made me the happiest man on Earth… and I can’t thank you enough.”
His words cut you like a knife, making your choke on your tears and the pain of your heart being broken.
“No, no, no…. baby… don’t say that,” you whispered in between sniffles. “You going to be okay.”
“I, Namjoon,” he weakly began. “-take you, (Y/N)… to be my lawfully wedded wife… to have and to hold… for better, for worse,” he deeply breathed and then coughed, blood evidently filling his lungs. “For richer, for poorer… in sickness and in health,” he grinned, taking your hand from his chest and kissing your knuckles. “Until death do us part.”
“You can’t die. Please don’t die,” your voice cracked, taking his hand and bringing to your cheek. His hand going cold and his face becoming pale. You rocked back and forth with him in your arms as your eyes swelled with tears, clenching his hand tightly in yours, internally begging and praying that someone he’d be okay.
Namjoon’s eyes fell heavy and you choked back a sobbing your throat. “Namjoon? Baby? Stay awake,” You lightly shook him.
Namjoon faintly smiled as he brought his free hand to wipe your tears and cherish your flushed cheeks. “I will always… love you, baby,” he weakly breathed, his eyes sparkling one last time with such love and endearment for you before fluttering close.
“I love you too, baby,” you softly cried.
And then his hand fell from your cheek and his smile slowly disappeared.
You broke out into a loud and uncontrollable sob, choking back your tears but failing as you let it all out. You squeezed the love of your life and held him close to your body, suffering and grieving the loss of his life and realizing you weren’t getting him back. His sweet dimpled cheeks that came out of hiding when he smiled. His glowing eyes as he spoke to you and the many random thoughts about life he brought up. His shy but cute little laugh and his long arms and tall stature that held you safely within him. The many ‘i love yous’ he would whisper to you.
All gone.
Your heart couldn’t have shattered anymore than it already had… but it did. Nothing more could make you as empty as you were now.
