With You Always

Note:

This story is also posted on wattpad (https://my.w.tt/AFmTpBN2V8) but with different title (Still With You). I couldn't use the original title because the title was already in use. The plot will be the same, as is, not changed or edited at all. This was my first time posting a story here.

This story's timeline was after BTS (yes, this was a bts fanfic, a one shot).

Hope you all like and enjoy! Purple hearts!

Jimin stared at the painting in front of him. It was a painting of them bowing at their last concert. It felt nostalgic yet it felt sad.

Seven of them were holding hands with purple lights at the background. Even though they were bowing, just by looking at it, they all looked happy.

He smiled, remembering his life before.

Jimin tapped his foot on the pavement as he waits. He's nervous but excited. He kept on checking his wrist watch, looking around to see if the person he's wating is already around.

Was it twelve years ago since they last saw each other? Honestly, Jimin lost count. Twelve years ago, Jimin was a well-known singer. Happiest twelve years of his life was when he was still in the music industry. He loved his fans so much, especially his members.

The memories they made together was still fresh as if it only happned yesterday. They were all together for twelve years and it was the best part of his life.

He smiled.

He suddenly remembers everything. From their trainee years until they performed their last concert. A bitter sweet memory. They all became each other's back bone. His love for them was unimaginable. He just love his hyungs and his dongsaengs.

"Hyung!"

He turned around.

As soon as he recognized who called him, his face plastered a sweet smile. Jimin's eyesmile.

"Am I late?" With doe eyes, he stared at his hyung who looked handsome in his outfit.

"No, I'm just early. Come here." He responded and reached for his body to hug him.

He missed him so much.

The hug lasted for three minutes.

"Ah, hyung. You're still so sweet." Jungkook said.

"I did not change at all, Kookie."

His smile seemed to be tattooed on his face. He's just so happy to see Jungkook again.

After long twelve years.

"Hyung. I missed you." Jungkook confessed and that made Jimin laugh.

Jungkook was staring at him. He sure missed his favorite hyung so much.

"I missed you too, Kookie." Jimin said, still wearing his eyesmile.

"Shall we go?"

--

In twelve years, a lot of things have changed. Some of the members lost contact with each other. It's like it's only two of them who finally have reached each other.

It made Jimin sad.

He tried searching his hyungs but he cannot reach them. He even tried to contact their families but still no luck. It's like after being together for many years, they became unreachable.

Jimin kept on thinking about them. Are they already married? Do they have children? Are they going to be idols too? Questions kept on flooding his mind. He missed them so much. For twelve years, Jimin never missed a day without thinking about them. Are they thinking about him too? Maybe.

Ever since their contract ended, Jimin went home to Busan. For the first few months, they still have connections with each other. But as time goes by, everyone seemed to be busy with their own lives already.

"Hyung, are you okay?"

Jimin came back to reality.

He smiled at Jungkook, "I just missed them, Kookie. It's been twelve years." He answered.

Jungkook only gave him a sad smile.

He missed his hyungs too, so much. He grew up with them, experienced a lot of things with them. Half of his life was spent with them. It's like he had six fathers who raised him, six brothers who taught him a lot of things in life.

"I missed them too hyung." He replied.

Jimin immediately saw the sadness in his eyes but he smiled at him.

"How about you Jungkook, where have you been?" Jimin asked him.

Jungkook looked up to the clear blue sky.

Today is a beautiful day.

"I actually stayed in Seoul for almost a year. Then I decided to travel even though we had many concerts around the world already. I stayed the longest in Japan. How about you, Hyung? Were you always in Busan?" Jungkook narrated.

Jimin nodded in response.

"Have you contacted them?"

"I tried, but only Taehyungie hyung and Yoongi hyung responded."

Jimin eyes widened.

"Did you actually contacted them?" He asked excitedly.

For long years, Taehyung and Yoongi never responded to him. He didn't know if he's messaging the right person or they are just purely ignoring him.

"Yeah. When I got back here in Korea, a fan messaged me about Taehyungie hyung's account and then we talked then he said that him and Yoongi hyung are in Daegu." The younger boy explained.

"Can we video chat them?" Jimin was in the verge of crying.

After all these years, he can now talk to Tae and Yoongi.

Jungkook fished his phone from his pocket. After few presses on his phone, he handed it to Jimin.

Facetiming Taehyungie hyung...

After four rings, he finally picked up.

"Yah! Taehyung-ah!" Jimin exclaimed. Some people even threw glances at him but he didn't care. Right in front of his eyes, he's seeing Kim Taehyung, his soulmate.

"Jimin-ah!" Taehyung was enthusiastic.

"I missed you so much! Where have you been? Ah, I'm gonna cry." Jimin wiped a few tears.

"Ah, being a father wasn't easy, you know."

"Father?"

"Father?"

Jimin and Jungkook looked at each other.

"Are you a father now?!" Once again, Jimin exclaimed.

"Hyung, I'm proud of you!" Jungkook said.

"Yeah. Yeah. Here's your little taehyung."

Taehyung stood up and change the camera into rear camera.

The Busan boys now can see the little Taehyungie.

"Taemin, say hi to your uncles." Taehyung said.

"Hi, uncles!"

The boy was just like his dad. Taemin's square boxed smile was surely from his Dad.

Jimin and Jungkook couldn't stop giggling from Taemin's cuteness. Cute just like his Father.

"Taehyung-ah, how about we meet each other tomorrow. Bring Yoongi hyung."

Taehyung faced them before replying.

"Tomorrow? Ah, I don't think so. Daddy duties." He said with a sad smile.

Jimin became sad. Facetiming with him wasn't enough.

"I see. Just hit me up whenever you're free."

"Don't be sad, Jiminie. Trust me, we will all be back together." Taehyung said and even kissed the screen.

"Jungkookie, take care of Jiminie, okay? I need to cook now. Good bye! I love you both." Taehyung waved at the screen while smiling.

Indeed, his smile is contagious. The sad Jimin is now smiling.

"Bye, hyung!" Jungkook smiled showing his perfect set of teeth.

"Bye, Taehyung-ah!" Jimin waved at the screen too before the call got disconnected.

It's been two months since the maknae line communicated. Actually, they were all connected now. It's been the happiest two months for Jimin. This was what he wished for.

BTS IS BACK GROUP CHAT

Seokjin:

Yoongi:

Seokjin:

Hoseok:

OMG I AM EXCITED!!

Jimin:

Jimin was smiling from ear to ear. He couldn't stop smiling. They were all just like the old times. Teasing each other. He couldn't get any happier. As long as they were all together, he's already contented.

Tomorrow, they are all going to Japan. Seven of them.

It felt nostalgic for Jimin, it's like they're going to have a concert there.

Tomorrow came and they were all resting in the hotel.

"This feels nice." Seokjin said.

"Let's order first. I'm already hungry." Yoongi suggested.

After eating, they all shared stories of their lives after being an idol. It was so nice. It was too perfect. They laughed, they cried, and took selfies and even posted it on their twitter account, @BTS_twt.

"This is so nice." Jimin smiled.

"It's always nice to be with you all." Hoseok replied.

"Yah, don't be emotional. I don't want to cry again!" Seokjin said.

"How about we watch our old performances?"

"Nice suggestion, Hoseokie. Let's go!"

June 13, 2025

While they were in Japan, Jimin never felt so happy. Too happy. But as they say, if you're too happy, something sad will happen.

"Was it two months ago?" Taehyung asked them.

The day was beautiful. The skies were clear blue and the cold breeze of the wind were slightly kissing their skins.

No one answered Taehyung.

Everyone seemed to be too tired to speak.

They all fell into silence.

"Jungkook, that kid." It was Namjoon who broke the silence.

Two months ago, they all got back together just like the old times. Little did they know, it was all Jungkook's idea, to brought them all together again.

No one knew until that day.

That day when Jungkook finally told them about his illness. A brain tumor. Jimin was the most devastated about the bad news. He cried for 3 long hours. He did not know what to do. Was Jungkook dying? Would he survive? His mind seemed to be in a mess. He didn't know what to do.

"So his last wish was to see all of us together. That kid, seriously." Hoseok suddenly broke into tears until they were all in tears.

Jimin went to his hyungs to give them a hug.

His heart was breaking. He's too sad. He still couldn't accept that Jungkook already left them. It hurts him so much.

Why didn't they know? If only Jungkook told them, he could be with them.

Jimin broke the hug and wiped his tears.

"Let's just enjoy this gift from Jungkookie." Even though his voice is cracking, he still managed to wear a smile. A sad one.

Still With You: Always remember that my heart holds you when my arms cannot.

Jungkook gifted them an art museum.

It was full of his hyungs faces. Some of them were taken candidly. His shots from golden closet film was in the museum too.

Jungkook loved filming his hyungs. He loved taking pictures of them, flattering or unflattering images.

"Hoseokie, look at your face here!" Yoongi laughed looking at his younger pal shots.

"Wah, Jungkook's indeed the golden maknae." Namjoon said.

All of them looked around the museum. Laughing and crying.

"Hyungs! Look at this." Taehyung called them.

They all walked towards Taehyung's direction and then they saw Jungkook's best piece.

A painting of them bowing at their last concert.

"He's really good at everything." Jimin said.

He let his tears fell. Even if he stopped his tears, it would still fall.

"Oh, there's a letter." Namjoon saw an envelope.

Hyungs,

If you're reading this that only meant one thing. Haha.

So uhm, I just want to say sorry for hiding my illness to all of you. I don't want you to get worried. I want all of you to mind your own lives.

I was really thankful for all the years we spent togther. I grew up being with hyungs. I became a better person and learned a lot of things. Thank you so much hyungs for taking care of me, feeding me, and for playing with me. It's been the best years of my life.

I have no regrets in entering the world of music industry because I met the best hyungs. I love you, hyungs.

Please stay all togther now. I don't want you to be apart again. I'll be sad. You don't want me sad, right?

I love you, my hyungs!

Jeon Jungkook

End.
