NAMJOON'S POV

It was midnight when someone knocked on my door. I groaned but still managed to leave the slumber. Getting up from bed I wore a shirt and adjusted my trousers before opening the door. I looked up and it was her but why was she here?

"Noona, wh-"

She shushed me and grabbing my hand she placed a black envelope over my palm. She looked in my eyes nad whispered," Open it on the day of my labor and don't tell anyone about why, when and where we met. Promise me."

"Is everything alright? Why so sneaky?"

"Promise me, now!" She curled her all fingers except the little one for me to hook. So I did and marked my words.

"I promise."

She smiled before unhooking the fingers and wiped the lone tear which made me curious of why was she behaving like that at such hour. Then she walked away in a blink that I didn't got the chance to ask why she seemed sad.

I almost opened the envelope but then I stopped. I must be responsible for the promise I made, so I closed the door behind and put it inside the drawer before going back to sleep.

THREE YEARS LATER

I started sweating and panicking in my sleep as I jerked up from bed. I took heavy breathings and looked around the dark room. It was around three in the dawn. Taking the glass of water I erased the thirst I had.

Finally I relaxed still felt uneasy because I missed the person whose second death anniversary was going to be held today. Unlocking the box I looked at that old letter. Clutching it I stood up and walked towards the glass wall to look at the silent city and sky colored with light blue.

Sliding against it I dropped down and sat with tears on bream. I looked at the sunrise which again aroused unaware of how this exact day was the one which destroyed lives of many but still gave a little hope. Jieun's son, Kim Jiseok.

Life did so bad to her. Suddenly in middle of the night she went in the labor room three years ago. The other members were outside accompanying Seokjin. But even before Soyoung came Jungkook and Jimin left but still were getting updates through Hoseok.

Yet I was reading the letter in the car, alone with no one around. Unfolding the creases I flipped it up and read it.

"How is everyone doing? Do they still fight over dumplings? Haha! I miss you all. Please name my baby 'Jiseok' and take care of Seokjin in my stead. I knew you had a crush on Seokjin but because of me you never confessed. I might seem selfish but... could you take care of my husband and baby for me? I know it would be hard for any of you to believe I had cancer but trust me it was hurting more that one day I had to leave this world.
I knew I would die either now or later so I thought it would be better if I left my carinated self behind, our baby would help him mend the hurt I gave him. I hope Jiseok would learn everything good and doesn't get involve in the mafias.
And I have another wish, to make Soyoung and Jungkook fall in love again. I could feel the love between them and I am sure their forbidden love could make them kneel down for each other. They just need a push to realise their love and I'm sure you could help them. I could feel the strong determination in Jungkook eyes to make her his. Help them out.
Hope you are doing well. And being the great leader as always, I trust you. I believe in you all. Goodbye... "

In the present I bursted into tears, my hands became weak as the letter flew out of my fingers and I miserably broke down to tears as always. If only I knew what she was going through then I could've stopped everything.
