Taejoon's grip on his sword faltered, and he stumbled forward,. Han rushed to his side, catching him as he faltered.
"Taejoon, what's happening?" Han cried, his voice shaking with fear.
Taejoon's gaze locked onto Han's, his eyes filled with a desperate plea. With a trembling hand, he reached out and pressed his sword into Han's hand.
"Han...please," Taejoon whispered, his voice barely audible. "You have to...end this. Before it's too late."
Han's eyes widened in horror as he realized what Taejoon was asking. "No, no, no!" Han sobbed, his body shaking with violent tremors. "I won't do it, Taejoon. I won't hurt you."
Taejoon's face contorted in anguish, his eyes brimming with tears. "You have to, Han. You're the only one who can...save me."
Han's face crumpled, and he buried his face in Taejoon's shoulder, tears streaming down his face. "I won't, Taejoon. I won't lose you. We'll find another way, together."
Taejoon's body began to convulse again, and he whispered a single, heartbreaking word: "Please..."
Taejoon's hands gently cradled Han's cheeks, his eyes locked onto Han's tear-stained face. His voice, laced with a desperate urgency, echoed in Han's mind and seemed to reverberate through the air itself.
"Do it, Han... Do iiiiiit..."
The echoing quality of Taejoon's voice sent shivers down Han's spine, and he felt his resolve crumble. Taejoon's eyes, filled with a deep sadness and pleading, seemed to bore into Han's soul.
Han's sobs intensified, and he shook his head, tears streaming down his face. "No, Taejoon...I won't...I won't lose you..."
Taejoon's eyes locked onto Han's as he leaned in, his movements slow and deliberate. With a swift motion, he wrapped his arms around Han, holding him in a tight embrace. In that same instant, he plunged the sword into his own heart.
The blade bit deep, and a crimson bloom spread across Taejoon's chest. As the sword pierced his heart, a wave of blood surged forth, splashing onto Han's face. Han's eyes widened in horror as he felt the warmth of Taejoon's blood on his skin.
Han's face contorted in anguish as he cried out, his body shaking with violent sobs. As he looked at Taejoon, he saw Taejoon's body begin to dissolve into a mist, his features fading away.
"No...no...no...Taejoon, don't leave me!" Han screamed, his voice hoarse with grief. He tried to hold onto Taejoon, but his arms passed through the mist, as if grasping for smoke.
As Taejoon's body began to dissolve into mist, his eyes locked onto Han's, filled with a deep affection. His voice, barely audible, whispered his final words:
"I love you, Han..."
The words hung in the air, etched in Han's heart forever. Han's face contorted in anguish as he screamed, his body shaking with violent sobs. The mist enveloped Taejoon's form, and he vanished, leaving Han alone with his grief. The only thing that remained was the haunting echo of Taejoon's final words: "I love you, Han..."
Han's voice cracked as he whispered, then screamed
"TAEJOON..."
the sound tearing from his throat like a shard of glass:
Han's body lurched upward, his eyes blazing with desperation as he keeps screaming at the top of his lungs:
"TAEJOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The word hung in the air, a heart-wrenching plea that seemed to echo through the emptiness. Han's body trembled, his eyes blinded by tears as he stumbled forward, arms outstretched, as if reaching for something lost forever. The silence that followed was oppressive, heavy with the weight of Han's despair.
The weight of his grief proved too much for Han to bear. The shock of Taejoon's sacrifice and final words sent him tumbling to the ground, his body succumbing to the overwhelming emotional pain. Han's eyes fluttered closed, and he lost consciousness.
The Alpha Boys, IDOL'S, and the others were caught off guard, and they rushed to Han's side in a panic. "Han! Han, no! Oh no, Han!" they cried out, trying to revive him.
