It's been five days since the accident and this day will be the hardest for Sana and Shay. The mother and daughter arrived at Atlanta Airport together with Nayeon, Momo and RJ. Jeongyeon fetches them who went back to Atlanta two days ago with her sister Lisa, Jihyo and Mina's body.

Sana made sure to bring home her wife to her hometown and uses her connections as a celebrity, she hired a private plane for them.

This is also the day they'll bring Mina to her final resting place.

As for Shay, she was not talking to her Momma ever since the night she found out what happened to her Mom. The little girl didn't want to eat or talk to anyone. All she did was cry and look at the picture of her mother. The older Minatozaki tried her best to reach out for her daughter but she was ignored.

Jeongyeon smiled a little when they saw the girls. RJ was carrying Shay who is not even looking at her Momma. But Sana was looking at her with sad eyes.

They all ride a van. Sana ask if everything is okay and Jeongyeon says yes but as per Lisa , she should bring them first at Mina's house to take some rest.

"I want to see my mom." Shay said while looking outside the window.  "Of course sweetie but you need to--"

Jeongyeon stops when the little redhead looks at her "I don't want to sleep, I don't want to rest, what I want is to be with my mom!" the younger Minatozaki blinks her eyes a couple of times so her tears won't fall.

"O-okay, I'll call Lisa and will inform about your request." RJ gives Jeongyeon an apologetic look, and she understand what Shay was going through right now.

It takes them 45 minutes to reach the funeral home. There are lots of people, mostly the redhead's friends and colleagues. As they went out of the Van, Shay immediately runs towards Lisa  who is waiting at them outside.

"C-can I see her? Can I be with my mom before they take her away?" Lisa nods her head at the little girl and gives her a small smile. She needs to be strong for Shay. She guided her inside the room while the girls are trailing from behind.

Lisa stops in front of the casket and looks at Shay "Do you want me carry you baby?" she asks.

Shay nods her head and Lisa carried her. As for Sana, Jihyo pushes the DJ towards the two but it seems like her feet are stuck on the ground. Nayeon and Momo knew how devastated their friend was. She has this tendency not to say anything to anyone but when you look at her eyes, you know what she's going through.

'I-D-don't want to see her like this, I c-can't Ji." Sana said trying her best not to cry "I know Sana but this is your last chance." The DJ shook her head and Jihyo sighs.

"Do you want to say something to your mom?" Lisa asks the little girl on her arms but the latter was just staring at her mother "You know she can hear you."

Shay wipes the tears that roll down on her cheeks "But even if she can, she's still going to leave me,"

"I want her back Aunt Lisa, I promise I'll be good, just bring her back to me please." The little redhead added. Lisa bit her lip to stop herself from crying.

"I should have stayed here with her." She then look at Sana, the DJ tears starts to fall like waterfalls "I-I'm sorry..I'm sorry..." she said and runs towards the door.

30 minutes later

The Eulogy has already started, since Mina has no family other than Lisa and Jeongyeon, the older brunette is the first one to say something to her. They didn't force the little girl to say something about her mother.

Lisa looks at Mina's picture and Smile "Standing here in front of you was the hardest for me, even the Bar exam that I took wasn't no comparable on how hard it was to be here and say something  for Mina. I-I couldn't  or I don't even know how to say goodbye to her. Cause I know deep within my heart or even in your hearts she's still alive, she will always be here (pointing to her heart). Life must have been short for our dearest Mina, but let us wish her a great Journey towards heaven. And may we always remember her good deeds, her sweet and soothing voice whenever she talks, her charming laughs that makes us all giddy, most especially her adorable gummy smile that we always look forward to.
