Heavy eyes stares at the seven tomb stones before their eyes, filling a weight so overwhelming that's not so easily brushed away with just a deep breath.

Seokjin.

Lucas.

Yeosang.

Hoseok.

Yoongi.

Woosung.

Hwanwoong.

Each stone side by side, staring up at the pair of eyes on them. No one said a word, more so couldn't say a word. There's so much yet so little to say, and that alone felt very hard to do.

So Taehyung was the first to step forward with a blue rose, laying it on Hoseok's stone. He gulps thickly, blinks his eyes a few times before letting out a heavy sigh, "I can live with that," he whispers, a weak smile on his lips.

Suddenly Karma fronts, looking down at the white rose on his hand. It's pretty, blossoming wonderfully and with such much delicacy, just like how Seokjin was. His eyes slowly falls to his tombstone and approaches it, laying the rose down with his eyes blinking a few times to hold back his tears.

"Thank you for being able to stand my ass while I was being annoying...... We got along very well," He whispers, letting his mind blind itself back to those memories they shared together side by side, letting them go as V comes to the light.

Everyone could see the hesitant gleam in her eyes, especially as she approaches Lucas's tomb stone with a red rose. Her eyes glanced between the rose and the stone, lips wobbling now, "Thank you for protecting me.... You were definitely a real friend for me."

Jimin squeezes his eyes to her words, holding back his tears to not feel the pain in his heart as he recalls those moments Lucas taught him about aiding and just.... His existence.

He was a good existence in his life.

Namjoon squeezes his embrace from behind, pressing a reassuring peck on his neck that made him twitch a small smile.

V steps back, letting anyone else comes forward. For a moment Jungkook didn't want to step forward, laying the four flowers on his hand to the graves because then it'll just feel to real.... That they're gone...... But he has to do this.

He has to learn to let go.

So Jungkook first approaches Yoongi's tomb, laying down a dark purple rose, "I will never forgive what you did to me.... But thanks to you I don't fear anyone anymore. I don't need anymore masters. Thank you for taking care of bunny..... Bunny appreciates you, even if you did hurt me."

Slowly he stands up straight and goes to Woosung's tomb. For a moment he just stares at it, studying it with a frown that slowly shifted to a small smile.

"I'll see you again in another life time, I promise. Whether we be lovers, friends, enemies, we will always find our way to each other," He whispers while placing a yellow rose down, "I love you with all my heart.... Don't forget stars because I definitely won't."

When Jungkook suddenly stops in front of Yeosang's grave, his heart completely squeezed in his chest, nearly stabbing the breath out of him.

"Little gem," He whispers, more like croaks, his eyes filling with instant tears, "My son.... Only my son.... I'm sorry that our last moment together was left fighting, I hope you can forgive me," He whimpers, the pain on his throat growing unbearable as he puts the rose down, "I love you son.... You will always be my little gem."

Then came the last rose, to the stone beside Yeosang.

Hwanwoong.

Jungkook breathes heavily and delicately places the rose down, "You always protected my son, and for that I will always be grateful. Take care of each other," He whispers, blinking past his tears as he rises to his feet and goes to stand on either side of now Taehyung and Jimin.

The tall brunette rubs Jungkook's neck, offering him a comforting smile, "It's okay to feel pain, I got you."

Jungkook's wobbling lips couldn't be fought back anymore as he squeezes his eyes shut and leans onto Taehyung, who holds onto him tightly as he rubs his back.

This is definitely what he needs right now for his gentle heart.

Jimin was the last one, and he built himself the courage and steps forward, seven roses in hand.

Enemies, friends, family, they were all something to Jimin and they all deserve a piece of his tender heart.

He goes to the first one to the end, being Yoongi.

"I still hate you," He mutters, staring at the stone and puts a rose down, "Consider this as my forgiveness to you. Even if you were out of your mind, I guess you had your gentle moments, maybe..... Not really actually. Oh well, it be like that sometimes."

Then he came across Hoseok, who he frowned slightly as he places the rose down, "I'm sorry you had a husband like that, have fun wherever you are."

Lucas followed next, who made Jimin's throat tighten up hard as he was instantly hit with a wide spiral of memories, "You asshole didn't finish your sessions with me!" He accuses shakily, putting the rose down, "But I will still learn on my own with what you taught me... Thank you."

Seokjin came after, and by now Jimin was having a hard time holding in his tears, "You rejected my spare tears so I hope you can accept them now," he mumbles, letting a tear escape down his eyelids as his shakily hand puts the rose down, "Thank you for being my friend."

This one that came next became hard, and what's worse was that Jimin didn't even know him, yet he feels like he does.

"I heard many great things about you," Jimin whispers to Woosung's grave, letting a wobbly smile form his lips as he puts a rose down, "I'll take care of Jungkook, I promise."

The following one took all of Jimin's breath away. This one reached its peak, and Jimin fell to his knees in front of the stone, feeling as though someone shot him right on the heart.

"Yeosang," Jimin wheezes, letting his face scrunch up as he moves his fingers over his name on the stone with the hand with the ring, "T-Thank you for saving me, thank you," he sobs and bows his head, pressing a kiss against the rose before putting it down, "I love you kid, remember that."

Now his little angel is definitely an angel now, and Jimin knew he needed this moment with him.

His little Yeosang.

When Jimin came across the last stone, his heart filled with a sense of assurance as he places the rose down. His shakily hand raised up and he caresses the stone, "Take care of Yeosang for me, hm?" He says to Hwanwoong's grave with the last rose, hoping the two found their heart back to each other wherever they are.

Arms around him engulfs his small body, comforting his already pained soul. Taemin tenderly helps his brother up, rubbing his arm as he guides him back to Jungkook. Instantly Jimin latches onto him, keeping his hand still tangled with Taemin's as he sobs out his pain.

Even if his heart is filled with ache, he feels as though a weight has been lifted.

He feels.... Completely free.

Mrs. Kim steps forward, staring at all the stones with a deep breath, "We all lost someone special, and sadly we can't go back and change time to bring them back," She whispers and bows her head, "So let's continue on living for them, and be good to one another through any obstacle one may face."

Everyone slowly nods to this, now all left to stare at the stones with a new gleam in their eyes.

Their pasts has been hard, dealing with so much pain and depression, filling their hearts with darkness. Now, they face those moments of the past with a small smile, embracing it as it guided them to this moment.

Where they're here, together, and united.

That seems like the perfect ending to all the sorrow, as they begin a new life where they'll share those sorrows together and now separated again.
