❝No matter what I do, I still feel you coming back to me when I know that you never will. So before I say goodbye, would you do one last thing for me? Be happy.❞
Thoughts of him deprived you of sleep as you tossed and turned on the foam mattress of the king-sized bed, the thick satin sheets seemed to be suffocating you as you furiously pushed the fabric off your body, resentment towards your own self overpowering the little-to-nothing sane thoughts left inside your head as you sat on the edge on what was once his side of the bed, facing the floor-to-ceiling windows of the lonely penthouse that unveiled the magnificent glow of the spherical moonlight that seemed to stare back at you — thoughts of him staring at the horizon sear back painfully from the most secluded parts of your brain, his smile as he embraced the breeze as you stared at him from behind taunting you to no ends as it played in the darkness behind your closed lids. The thoughts of him alone haunted you to the point where your were questioning your sanity because you knew how unhealthy this was becoming.
The number of times you stared at the large door cannot be measured along with the hope that it would open with him behind the oak doors, his familiar black hair tinged with sweat at his effort to run quickly up the stairs so that he could be enveloped in the warmth of your arms after a hectic day — it was the desperate hope in your chest that he would come back, even though you knew he wouldn't.
Please get out of my head, you thought to yourself, tugging at the ends of your hair, unconsciously tugging until you felt the pain from the very roots — even then, you continued tugging as if it could take away the thoughts of him.
It was then that your phone rang, Jungkook's name flashing across the screen, "What?"
"You know you don't have to do it."
You laughed, slowly tracing the pillow on the other side of the bed, "Of course, I have to. It would rude of me not to show up since they invited me personally."
It was a long pause on the line, Jungkook's breathing the only evidence there is to show the call was still on. He took a deep breath before softly saying, "He doesn't deserve you."
"You're right, he doesn't. I don't make him happy enough."
"You know that's not what I mean—"
"I know." You sighed, swallowing the lump in your throat as your palm tightly squeezed the white t-shirt — the only shirt of his left on the cabinet which you wore for countless days, unwashed and now stained with smudges from your mascara as you endlessly cried yourself to sleep wearing it. "He deserves to be somewhere where he's happy. The only thing is that it's not with me—"
"So who am I to deprive him of the happiness he deserves?"
❝Take her to the moon for me. Take her like you promised me. Say you love her everytime like how you told me the last time.❞
You smiled as you see his eyes remained trained on her as if there was no tomorrow as she walked down the aisle, her white dress flowing behind her; looking so beautiful, as if she was straight out from a fairytale, her own prince charming waiting at the very end — the very same prince charming you once believed to be your knight.
As tears flowed out of his eyes towards the huge smile on his face, you can't help but look away, the hole in your chest becoming larger and larger as more seconds passed, remembering yourself what he used to promise you.
"When we get older, I'll marry you." He gripped both your hands and you laughed, gently placing your index finger on top of his lips yet he continued speaking anyway, "We'll get married and have three kids, we'll live in a huge house beside the beach and every morning, I'd cook you breakfast and—"
"Just make sure to go through with that."
"I will." He said, determined. "We'll make that happen, baby. We can do anything."
"Anything?" You teased him, laughing as he pushed you back down on the bed and hovering on top of you.
"Anything." He whispered against your lips, the moonlight shining on his face from the opened curtains, "I'll even take you to the moon."
"Is that a promise? I'll hold you to that then."
"Just wait and see."
The time seemed to fly so fast and before you know it, the ceremony was over and everyone was moving to the reception — it was grand, just like how Jimin always wanted it to be.
The night grew and it was time for the first dance in which you excused yourself, not able to withstand the stabbing pain you felt as you see the both of them occupying the dance floor. You were happy for them, that much is true. But as selfish as it sounds, you wanted to be her. Because despite your claims that you were over Jimin, you still loved him.
And you probably always will.
You were outside, watching as the stars twinkle brightly as you leaned on the pillar, taking deep breaths to prevent the tears from falling. Jungkook had been right — you didn't have to do it but you did anyway because you thought you can endure the pain of seeing Jimin love someone else but you couldn't. You just can't.
"You look beautiful."
And there he was. He was painfully handsome in his white tux underneath the bright moonlight, his now-black hair messily arranged on his head from the times he ran his hands through them like he always does.
His smile was bright as he stuffed his hands on his pocket, making you take a step backward as he took one forward, a handkerchief now on his palm. He raised it towards your face and you flinched away from his touch. What was he doing?
"I'm sorry." He stepped back.
"What for?"
"Just sorry. For everything."
The music from inside can still be heard, even though it was faint, you can still make it out. The silence was comfortable and you slowly close your eyes, relishing in the silence and the fact that he was there — standing beside you and able to be feeling his warmth, "You weren't there for the dance, so, may I?"
You knew you should've said no, you should've declined and entered the facility and never turn back around but in the next second, your hand was clasped in his and you were tightly screwing your eyes shut and your mouth clamped closed to prevent the sobs from coming out.
You slightly pulled back and he gave you a small smile, his fingers hesitantly reaching up to brush away the stray strands of hair covering your face, "I'm sorry I won't be able to fulfill my promise."
You stepped back, giving the both of you the appropriate space you both badly needed, "It's fine." I'm not. "We didn't swear on that anyway. Now go on, best friend, your bride's waiting for you."
He gave you one last smile before turning around. Not one look back.
"Jimin," you called, another lump forming on your throat and your vision becoming blurry of the tears that started to accumulate.
He paused, turning his head to look at you."Yeah?"
"Take her to the moon for me, okay?" you smiled before nodding and you turned around, heading for the steps.
It was in that moment that you thought that maybe, just maybe, that desperate hope wouldn't be so futile after all, pausing at the bottom of the steps as you hear the heavy footprints of his shoes as he ran after you — but it was also in that moment that the doors opened.
"Jimin?" you turned around to see his wife's smiling face greeting you. You smiled back softly before turning around and continued walking without looking back.
She was his happiness. Who are you this time to take that away from him?
And it was fine — because seeing him happy was more than enough for you even if that life of happiness doesn't include you. And maybe in another life, you'll both meet again in heaven by the rainbow's end, because this time, all you could is wish him happiness.
Until you both meet again.
