7 LULLABIES OF OUR SOULS

The air feels so heavy. Silency has taken its place. His legs feel numb. He have no strength to get up. He just sitting there unexpectedly as he looked at that man. Jimin just look at Taehyung with a blank face but full of hope expression. He looks at Taehyung so passionately while Taehyung just look down, unable to face Jimin. He silently sobbing.

" Ta...Tae.. Taehyung-ah..."

Jimin slowly gather his strength by saying that name. He then stand up slowly and stood right in front of Taehyung. He then blow a punch in Taehyung's face real hard until made him stumble on the ground.Jimin just said,

" That's for what you've done." with a very straight face.

Taehyung doesn't fight back, he just stoned on the ground. Then Jimin suddenly gets on Taehyung. He screams at him,

" YAHH!! WHY DON'T YOU TALK TO ME?! WHY YOU DON'T EVEN LOOK AT ME?!! DID YOU REALLY DESPISE ME?! WHY ARE YOU DOING ME LIKE THIS?! HOW COULD YOU TAEHYUNG AHH!! WHY ARE YOU PUNISHING ME LIKE THIS?! DON'T JUST LYING THERE! ANSWER ME!! TAEHYUNG!!"

Jimin hit Taehyung on his chest. Unable to hide the sorrow, Taehyung answers back with his shaking voice while still looking down.

" I'M SCARED! ALL OF YOU MUST BE HATING ME! I'M THE CAUSE WHY WE RECEIVED THE DEATH PENALTY! IT ALL STARTED BECAUSE OF ME! I'VE TAKEN OUR HAPPINESS! I'VE TAKEN THE PEACEFUL LIFE WE HAD! I'VE TAKEN YOUR SMILE! I JUST CAN'T DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT I'M THE ONE WHO DESTROY ALL OF THAT! THE ONE WHO BRING MISFORTUNE UPON US! I CAN'T BEAR THE THOUGHT OF YOU HATING ME! I CAN NEVER LOOK AT YOU IN THE EYES ANYMORE! BECAUSE THAT EYES MUST BE DESPISE ME THE MOST! I HATE MYSELF FOR THAT! WE COULD STILL HAD THE HAPPY LIFE IF NOT BECAUSE OF MY FOOLISH ACT! I MISS THE OLD US BUT I KNOW WE CAN'T GO BACK AND I'M THE ONE TO BLAMED!"

Taehyung stating what lies deep in his heart. He just couldn't take it anymore. He cries so hard to the point he have problem breathing. All of them heard it all loud and clear to what Taehyung has said, his own selfish thought that he held within for hundreds of years. It's so selfish and heart throbbing fact that he carries all the blame on himself for such a very long time. Jimin just froze, speechless. His anguish turns into tears. He cries a river. He can't accept the fact that all this time, the actual reason why Taehyung's gone is merely because he was scared he might received hate from them. It's unacceptable. Jimin trembling so much. He can't deal with the pain. He let it all out. While the others just cry silently with their heads held down. The worst type of cry is the silent one and it's also must cause by a very painful reason. The worst type of killer. It's silently killed inside, It's hard to breathe, It's the most heart throbbing one, It's the feelings they feel right now.

" Even so..you don't need to run..you don't need to leave us! We are happy when we were together..why you bring it all with you?! You think that by your absence we will be more happy?! JUST SO YOU KNOW..THE MOMENT YOU GONE, LEAVING US, THAT'S THE MOMENT THE HAPPINESS FADES AWAY! Why are you so selfish...DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE MISS YOU?! We will still can smile if we are together..did the thought ever cross your mind?! I miss you so freaking bad, idiot..! Why you don't come sooner..."

Jimin buried his face in Taehyung's chest and hit him countless times. Taehyung clench his teeth.

" BUT WE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME! YOU ALSO KNOW THAT! WE WILL NOT BE HAPPY! I WILL NOT BE HAPPY! THAT'S WHAT THE DEITYS WANT US TO BE!"

Taehyung stating based on his point of view. Yes, it's selfish but it doesn't get objection from the other Virtues. It's as if they were all agrees. Once again, silence kicked in. But Re, who's been listening all this time, also shedding tears as if she can't accept the fact that everything Taehyung has said. She suddenly butt in their way. Somehow she feels pissed by the way it's going. She suddenly break the silence with her sharpest words.

Re said it so loud and clear until made their tears been dried out because of the shocked in her words that they just stunned, doesn't even blink, her words bring serenity in their souls. Probably that is the most beautiful lullabies that reach their souls. Yes, the sounds from a girl yelling what she feels wholeheartedly. She's a no ordinary girl. He sees it in her eyes. Taehyung know she's a promising girl. He looks deeply in her eyes. He ask,

" You promise? "

" I'm the sole princess of Nysa, I'm true to my words"

Re answer it confidently.

Seeing her like that, Taehyung know that now he have found a new light that will lead him to a more beautiful place. He looks at her with teary eyes, his face started to get wet, the tears come out slowly and fallen to his cheek. He then look up at the sky. He then hug back Jimin that's been on him all this time. He hold him so tight.

" I'M SORRY....."

That's what he said.

" Yeah..I think it's the thing that I really wanted for. All I ever wanted was to be given permission.. permission to smile, to laugh, to be happy. This girl has given me that. She has escaped me from my nightmare. Thank you, my moon. Thank you, my princess.."

Taehyung thought to himself, gratefully.

Then all of them were hugging together so tight that they don't want to let go.. No..not now.. Re watching them, smiling gratefully that they finally found their missing piece. They look unseparable. Maybe because they shouldn't be at the first place.

After getting a quit long hug, they finally let go of each other. They finally be able to smile again. Taehyung finally be able to give off his bright box smile after he lost it for a long while. They all feel reassure that they now know that they get to see that smile again. Re just watching them happily. "They are so beautiful. They are the ones that made the world a better place. They deserve all this." That's what Re thought to herself. Jungkook seems unable to separate from Taehyung from then. He doesn't want to let go of that hand ever again.

Namjoon keep thanking the princess for what she has done..

" Thank you for bringing him back to us.. we never thought this day will come. Thank you for making our longing wish to become a reality. We can't thanking you enough.."

" Thank you, my princess. It's been a long time since I've seen that big box smile."

Jin saying his gratitution.

" Thank you for making my wish comes true, My Lady."

Jimin gratitude her.

" Thank you for bringing him back.."

Jungkook said it with his snorting nose.

" Thank you for saving me, My Moon.."

Finally, Taehyung saying his gratitution with his warm smile then he wink at the princess.

" Moon.. sounds familiar.."

Re talks to herself. Then she remembered,

" OHH??!!!!"
