The Squirrel We Saw That Day

Chapter 2

Hoseok's POV

I was in front of my house, I opened the door and went in.

Mr. Jung: Don't just leave the door open, Jiwoo.

Jiwoo: I didn't.

I smiled

Hoseok: Jiwoo you got so big, and daddy your hair got so gray.

DING DING!

I looked around to see my mommy at my shrine with a bowl of Kimchi fried rice.

Jiwoo: It's annoying, knock it off.

Mrs. Jung: What do you mean?

Jiwoo: Every time you make us kimchi fried rice you give some to him. Stop it already.

Mrs. Jung: It was his favorite food.

Jiwoo: Dead people don't eat, Mom.

Mrs. Jung: Don't say that about your brother. Your brother was always absentminded, he probably doesn't know that he isn't alive anymore.

Hoseok: But I do. Of course, I know. Of course, I know that I died that day.

As I said that, tears rolled down my face, my legs went weak and I hit the table and made a glass of water fall off of it.

Mr. Jung: You got to be more careful.

Jiwoo: Don't blame me! I didn't even touch it.

Mrs. Jung: Hoseokie?

I walked out of the house, crying.

YOONGI'S POV

Yoongi: Nothing in the fridge way to go Dad. I guess I have to make myself some Ramen.

If I'm being honest after Hoseok died, the only thing that was busted was us. We all drifted apart. I picked up the egg and thoughts of Hoseok saying he wants his eggs scrambled played in my mind, damn it Hoseok. 

                                                                            I ran out of the house.

I wanted the day...

Yoongi: Of course, I know exactly where he went!

...I wanted that day, the day that never came!

Yoongi: Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

I wanted the day I could tell him, I was sorry!

TAEHYUNG'S POV

I was looking in my closet at a picture I had of Hoseok. I miss Hoseok so much. WHY DID HE HAVE TO GO?! I never got the chance to tell him how I felt.

YOONGI'S POV

My stress, my trauma... that's right! I must have created Hoseok so that I could say sorry to him! He'll be there, he's gotta be at the...

Yoongi: The secret base.

I went to the door calling out Hoseok's name but there was no sign of him. I looked around the base and saw magazines and take-out plates and cups on the table and a massive map on the wall that had red circles and dots on it. I picked up one of the magazines. It was a Pornographic magazine.

Yoongi: Oh, wow. This stuff isn't playing around.

???: The beauty lies within the disparity. Y-Yoongi? Is that you?

Yoongi: Jungkook? Hey.

FLASHBACK

Kid Yoongi: Hey, let's carve our name in the wood.

Kid Jungkook: But...I don't know how to spell.

END OF FLASHBACK

Jungkook: What are you doing here?

And just like that, the summer memories came rushing back.
