He had tried to fight against the gaping wound in his stomach which was eventually going to lead him to bleeding to death, controlling him, taking away his soul with each passing second - that was just how the human body worked. Full of life until it is harmed enough to send it spiraling into the hands of death, not being able to contain the soul that was once in there no longer. It was messed up, in a way, yet astonishing if you thought about it. How a single person's life could be ended forever just by one action, one movement of a hand on a knife or a twitch of a finger on a trigger. How nobody had knew what really happened when someone died, because nobody dead has been able to really come back and say where their soul had ventured off to, where it had been. Perhaps it was thrown into the dark cold abyss, that human's life now become degraded to nothing, as if they had never existed in the world. Their memories, experiences - gone forever. No longer existent, not even a trace of their soul left. Jungkook had thought about this a lot, yet he had never thought about it happening to him, ironic as that was. He never thought it would happen to him, as what would any human who was on the verge of dying. They didn't know it was going to happen to them. Not now, not at this second, at least. Yet Jungkook was here, bleeding so fast, so hard that he thought he could have filled a fish tank with blood if he wanted too. It couldn't stop. He was dying - quickly, rapidly; his breath getting less steady and his chest feeling more and more constricted with each one, pain shooting all over his body, close to giving up./span/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"span class="mceItemHidden"It had taken him ten minutes to crawl to his phone which was now an arm's length away from him. He reached out slowly with a shaking arm, bringing it back to him as he turned over onto his back./span/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"If only he hadn't been so stupid, if only he'd payed attention to everything earlier today, everyone surrounding him. emIf only./em He thought if he'd only done emthis,/em or maybe only did emthat,/em he wouldn't have been in this horrible mess, laying down on the hard, cold cement, the rubble rubbing against his back and marking his arms, leaving scratches and drawing blood as he had moved across, his legs no longer functioning - all while bleeding to death, on the cold emcold/em ground. It wasn't exactly ideal, but it could have possibly been worse, even though it was far too late already; Jungkook had known if he called an ambulance right now, nothing could be done to save him, he was already gone, no hope left for him even though he had just would have wasted his last phone call in vain, in hopes of someone coming to save him, only to die not on top of the gravelly cement, but on top of a hospital bed, people surrounding him and crying their eyes out. He didn't want to burden anybody like that; yet it was miraculous that he could even move at this point, blood gushing out of his stomach like a hurricane, in this case one of the most deadliest ones./p

Unlike Taehyung's death's was a lot less sweet. Death had the same effect and toll on his body, yet for all of the wrong reasons. The painful reminder that he was dying and that he would never be able to hear how soft and sweet Taehyung's voice was ever again, how he might not be able to remember how beautiful he was, his memories being completely thrown into the abyss./span/p

It was messed up, in a way, yet astonishing if you thought about it. How a single person's life could be ended forever just by one action, one movement of a hand on a knife or a twitch of a finger on a trigger. How nobody had knew what really happened when someone died, because nobody dead has been able to really come back and say where their soul had ventured off to, where it had been. Perhaps it was thrown into the dark cold abyss, that human's life now become degraded to nothing, as if they had never existed in the world. Their memories, experiences - gone forever. No longer existent, not even a trace of their soul left. Jungkook had thought about this a lot, yet he had never thought about it happening to him, ironic as that was. He never thought it would happen to him, as what would any human who was on the verge of dying. They didn't know it was going to happen to them. Not now, not at this second, at least. Yet Jungkook was here, bleeding so fast, so hard that he thought he could have filled a fish tank with blood if he wanted too. It couldn't stop. He was dying - quickly, rapidly; his breath getting less steady and his chest feeling more and more constricted with each one, pain shooting all over his body, close to giving up./span/p

He reached out slowly with a shaking arm, bringing it back to him as he turned over onto his back./span/p

It wasn't exactly ideal, but it could have possibly been worse, even though it was far too late already; Jungkook had known if he called an ambulance right now, nothing could be done to save him, he was already gone, no hope left for him even though he had just would have wasted his last phone call in vain, in hopes of someone coming to save him, only to die not on top of the gravelly cement, but on top of a hospital bed, people surrounding him and crying their eyes out. He didn't want to burden anybody like that; yet it was miraculous that he could even move at this point, blood gushing out of his stomach like a hurricane, in this case one of the most deadliest ones./p

Unlike Taehyung's death's was a lot less sweet. Death had the same effect and toll on his body, yet for all of the wrong reasons. The painful reminder that he was dying and that he would never be able to hear how soft and sweet Taehyung's voice was ever again, how he might not be able to remember how beautiful he was, his memories being completely thrown into the abyss./span/p
