"Hey dad, guess everything is fine there." Jungkook smiled looking at his father's and mother's framed portraits. "Hey mom, I hope you're happy with dad. I brought your favorite flowers."

The omega stood in front of his parents' resting place. The afternoon son cast a warm glow over the small memorial. The gentle breeze ruffled through his hair, feeling like someone caressed his head. He put the flowers down, staring at them in silence. His heart was heavy.

It has been a while since Jungkook has been here. He couldn't just bring himself to visit them because he was still hurting. Now after months, it still hurt deeply. He mourned even now and learned time doesn't just erase the pain of losing someone. It rather teaches someone to live with it.

He missed his father everyday. Waking up without him was painful on some days. But now he had someone to lean on and take comfort from. He wasn't alone and now he had a family. Thanks to his father's advice.

"You knew I would be miserable without you." Jungkook smiled. "You wanted me to be selfish and take this chance with Jimin hyung because you knew we were both imprinted on each other. You were sure Jimin hyung would always choose me and he will take care of me. Thank you, dad. I listened to you and I'm not alone anymore." He clasped his hands together in front of him. "I still miss you. No bond is strong enough to replace you, they never will. I miss you every day, but I take comfort in the fact that you're with mom now."

A few tears trickled down his pale cheeks. It felt surreal, standing here talking to stone and only holding onto memories while only a few months ago, his sole purpose of living was his father. He crouched down, fingers brushing at their faces.

"Hey mom, I'm sure you knew already and dad might have told you, but I met someone. You saved his life. Park Jimin is his name. He's the same pup you spend the night comforting." He sighed. "It's bittersweet how things turned out actually. Jimin hyung still feels guilty that I had to grow up without but he's doing a very good job taking care of me and you can be assured, he will be there for me for the rest of my life." He took a deep breath. "I never knew how you used to sound, but Jimin hyung, my alpha, told me and he even sometimes sings that song you sang to him that night. I haven't told him that it's the same song dad sang to me every night until I was old enough." He chuckled. "Jimin hyung is cute when he sings. He gets all shy when I compliment his voice. Apparently his singing voice is much sweeter in contrast to his speaking voice. So he doesn't let the others hear him at any chance. I'm the only exception it seems."

He stared at their photos for a long moment silently. He absent mindedly picked up a small pebble, rolling it between his fingers. Just being there in his parents' presence brought him a sense of calm. It was as if they were right there with him. There was also an odd sense in the silence.

"Dad, mom, I have one more news." His smile grew a little bright. "You have an alpha son now. I listened to dad's advice and was selfish one more time. His name is Kim Taehyung and he used to be my celebrity crush." He laughed. "Honestly speaking, he didn't have to adopt me and I also had Jimin hyung but I couldn't refuse when he asked me if I'd be willing to be his brother. Jimin hyung is family, yes, but I wanted something more. You know growing up, I always wondered how it would have been to have a sibling and I couldn't resist when he asked. So I went and got myself a brother. My wolf is very fond of him. Taehyung hyung is someone I could connect with on a deeper level. I love having a brother and he's the absolute best. He would kick Jimin hyung's ass if he made me cry, you know?" His smile was sad. "I wish you were here to see it, though. You both would have loved him a lot. Taehyung hyung would have loved you too. I'll bring him the next time I come to visit you."
