#MBT Pt.1

Chapter 23:

As they drove home, Taehyung fell asleep in his car. She got tired from all the things that they've done together. But no one is complaining anyway. They're both happy that they spend their day at the theme park.

As they finally reached Busan, Jungkook saw a flower shop that is opened. He parked his car on the nearby parking area and headed inside the shop to buy something.

When he came back, Taehyung also woke up. Stretching her hands, she was surprised when she opened her eyes and saw Jungkook coming out of the shop with a bouquet of flowers in his arms.

"Oh~ I'm sorry, did I wake you up?"-Jungkook mumbles softly.

"N-no. Not really. Where are we?"-she asks as she tried to look around.

"We're already in Busan. If you aren't yet done sleeping, you can take a few more sleep. I won't mind, I'll have to go somewhere else anyway. Do you want me to drop you off in our house directly or come with me first?"

Taehyung was dumbfounded at first.

Come with him?

"Wh-what do you mean?"

"Well, I have to go somewhere else."-he explains briefly.

"Uh-okay?... Umm."-she tried to form any word but it's of no use.

"Would you want to come with me?"- he asked.

Taehyung was silent for awhile. She is now looking at the bouquet of flowers in Jungkook arms. And Jungkook seems to notice it. That's why, he picked one rose which is colored purple and handed it to Taehyung.

"It's for you."-he simply stated.

To say that Taehyung is happy with that one flower is an understatement. She isn't just happy, she feels euphoric to receive such thing from Jeon Jungkook. She never expected it. And though, she is having a battle inside her, coz she is thinking that those flowers might be for someone else whom is important for Jungkook. Still she reached for it afraid that this moment might turn into one of her day dreamings.

"T-thank you."-she mutters.

"So~ Does it mean, you'll go with me?"-Jungkook asked with a smile visible in his lips.

Taehyung give him a shy smile and a simple nod.

They are standing now in front of a gravestone that says: Hera Goo. Taehyung is puzzled because, she never heard of her yet. Neither she saw her before. She is just right behind Jungkook. Observing him peacefully, trying to fix the puzzle inside her mind on her own.

Then, Jungkook begin speaking in front of the gravestone after giving his honor by bowing 3 times in front of it. But it is loud enough for Taehyung to hear.

"Eomma... Now, I forgive you already for all the mistakes you have done... For leaving us behind, and for not being a mother for me in my whole life. It took me years to accept it. It took me so long, to finally let go of my pain and anger towards you."

Taehyung was just frozen beside him. She can't even breathe normally.

"But somehow, I have come to accept and learn that sometimes_____ you don't have to look or search from a far places, you just have to see the answers by yourself. Sometimes, they're just in front of you. And, That's what my Mom had thought me."

Pauses...

"Mom and Dad made me into the person who I am right now. They loved, cared and guided me through all the times.* He sits beside the Gravestone* Now, I finally learned the reason why you left dad and me. It's because, dad never loved you back right?____ I'm sorry for not understanding your side, and for hating you, eomma."
