When Jungkook's mother passes away, his ex-husband Kim Taehyung is forced to make a return to the same place he's always dreaded to look after his ex-husband and his sister.
And now with this sudden re-encounter, will their story finally be able to...
As an 11 year old, Jungkook remembers accompanying his grandfather to the garage for the first time. The garage had all of their most expensive cars; still do. So his father was always cautious about having his kids play anywhere near it.
Jungkook remembers admiring all those cars (5 at the time). Each of them were shiny like new, being regularly cleaned. But as he approached the end of the garage, his eyes noticed one car different from the rest.
"Grandpa," So he called out. "Which one is this?"
"Mercedes-Benz 600." Came through his grandfather's reply.

"It looks quite old."
"Because it is." His grandfather had agreed, placing an arm around his grandson's shoulders. "1981, your father's first car of his own. This was your mother's personal favorite."
"It doesn't look in a good shape though?" Spoke the curious boy, wide eyes scanning the car.
"Mn. It's got some major repairing required. Almost destroyed, really. "
"Then why do we still own it?"
"Because your mother likes it." That was one of the rare times his grandfather smiled. "When you're in love, you make petty decisions. Keeping this car, was your father's."
"Really?" But the little boy only looks down at his feet hearing that. "It, it sometimes doesn't feel like dad is really happy with mom as much as mom is."
"Marriage is a joint experience between two people, Kook-ah." But all his grandfather did, was smile. "But the fact that it is a joint experience does not mean that it is a similar experience to the two people involved."
Sunday for the ex couple had begun as a rather sunny day. After spending two months living together after so long, it was a surprise to the both of them really from how comfortable they had managed to get once again.
AlThough, that still didn't meant that they were on casually talking terms. But atleast, they were comfortable enough for them to be seated together in the backseat of the same Mercedes Benz that Jungkook's late mother admired so much while the driver drove them.
"You okay?" Came a soft voice beside him, and Jungkook nodded mindlessly. A little while later, a sigh leaves his lips and he allows his hand to grip on Taehyung's thigh; massaging it while he stares at his own feet in deep thoughts.
