It’s been over a month since the funeral, and all the rituals are done. I’m here now, packing my bags because Uncle Jeon said tomorrow He and Jungkook are coming to take me to Busan. From now onwards, I’ll be living with them.

Uncle Jeon and Auntie Jeon didn’t want to leave me alone in my house, eventhough I insisted that, I needed some time alone to process everything.

I wanted to be alone. They respected my wishes and left but Jungkook didn't leave and stayed by my side the entire time and told Mrs. Aera and Iseul to stay beside me.
His presence was a silent comfort in the midst of my overwhelming grief.

I remember when Uncle Jaehyuk called them about my parents deaths. He told them it was a car accident, as we both had decided not to tell anyone the real story. So everyone thought that my parents died in the car accident.

" Because I know my dad, wouldn’t have done this. He loved mom, too much to hurt her." But after weeks of investigation and all the evidence still pointed to him being responsible.

And when they didn't find anything The police closed the case, saying it was a murder-suicide case.

I feel so alone. I have no one left in this world. When Jungkook came to Seoul with,
Mrs. Jeon, he rushed to me and hugged me tightly saying everything will be alright.

I didn’t cry in front of them, even though I wanted to. I could see the worry in their eyes for me, but they never left my side. They helped with everything, from the funeral to all  the rituals.

As I continued packing, my gaze landed on the picture frame on the nightstand beside my bed. It was a photo of me Mom and Dad all smiling and hugging each other.

It was from our family trip to New York a time when everything felt perfect everything felt right.

I picked up the frame and carefully ran my fingers over the glass, tracing the outlines of our 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘴.A single tear roll down my cheek as I looked at the photograph.so full of joy and love.

"𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗪𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿."

"Mom Dad, I hope you are okay there?” I asked my voice breaking with each word.

"I’m so sorry, Dad. Maybe I wasn’t a good daughter that's why you both left me, right?" I could barely get the words out through my sobs.

“But Dad, you know, my exam results came today. And you won't believe it, but your princess scored very good marks. I passed the exam and did really well. I hope you’re now proud of me, Mom and Dad."

I hugged the picture tightly wishing I could hear their voices just for one more time. "I miss you both so much."

Why did you have to leave me here all alone? I need you. I need you both I cried, my tears soaking the picture frame. The pain was immense and the loneliness was suffocating.

Sitting on the edge of my bed, I held the picture close to my chest, as if it could bring them back to me. I sobbed as I whispered

“I miss you both so much. Why did you have to leave me here all alone? There’s no one left for me."
