Taehyung heads towards the cemetery as today is his late grandmother's birthday and he's here to wish her. She was a big part of his life and was pretty important for him so, he never fails to wish her in her birthday.

He finally stands in front of the cement plastered grave while staring at the name tag. With a sigh, he places down the white roses as his grandmother loved white roses.

"Happy birthday, granny. You're my inspiration. Thank you for inspiring me in mt toughest time. I'm always grateful to you." he cracks a small smile.

He thinks about Mimi, about last night. How she was so drunk and was reacting about the arrival of the guy named Rayan. He's still paranoid about the situation. He's already done with his research as he has found out about the relationship Mimi shares with Rayan. He couldn’t hold back his curiosity.

"You know I have a daughter, she kinda looks like me as she got my smile which was used to be mine, you knew how happy I was? But I forgot how to smile, I don't remember when was the last time I smiled genuinely. Probably four years ago. She left, granny and snatched all of the happiness with her—" he sighs and chuckles painfully.

"I want to hate Yura, granny. But I can't. It's never possible, you know? She's my daughter, but she always reminds me of her, granny. That woman whom I loved the most and she left with another guy just because of money. I hate her, granny, I hate her." he kneels down in front of the grave.

"I hate her, I hate Ellah." he whispers. His eyes find another presence beside him and he sees Mimi. Again.

She's standing in front of a grave with some red lilies in her hand. Mimi is here for her late younger brother. Rayan, who died at the age of four from a minor brain stroke and major heart attack.

[The character of Rayan is inspired from a true event.]

Mimi

"Why did you leave me, Rayan? Why? Why did you leave me so early?" I whisper while staring at the grave. My younger brother who had died by a minor brain stroke and a major heart attack. He was in this earth fir only four ears but he's part of my life where I used to be the happiest. Here, my younger brother is sleeping peacefully. Six feet under the ground and he would never come back to me. Never.

"You loved red Lili, you remember? I brought this for you." I place down the lilies and kneel down. Tear stings in my eyes and I bend down fully to hug the grave. 

"Why did you have to leave so early? Why didn't God take my life instead? Why did he take you with him? Why not me, Rayan? Why?" A sob leaves from my mouth. It's unbearable, the pain inside my chest is unbearable.

"Probably if the doctors could save you and you sirvived and be with us, you could have understood me better than anyone. Only if you had survived that day, I wouldn’t have to bear all of these pain at all. You could have confront everyone for me." I whisper and my whole body trembles with a sob.

“Why did you leave me? Why? Why? Why!” I cry out with all if my lungs until my cry turns into sob.

"Sleep, Rayan, sleep tightly—" I whisper as I get up and sit there. It's pouring again. Hard. And raining is natural in New York. The rain is not bothering me at all.

Rayan. I only talk to Rayan for this name. I've so much memory attached to this name, my late younger brother and the guy I was about to date both shares the same name and I'm too weak for this. This is why I never shout at him, every time I hear his name, he reminds me of my younger brother. But that guy decided to hurt me again last night.
