Twenty-Nine

LATE UPDATE! My bad.

----

Few months later.

I held my fiancé's hand. I beamed at Jungkook. "Where are we going?"

Jungkook smiled. "Somewhere. I need to show you something."

We were in the car. Jungkook said he needed to show me something, but I don't know what.

----

"We're here."

I opened my eyes.

I looked out the car window. We're at a cemetery.

"Why are we at a cemetery?" I asked.

"For a reason," Jungkook said. "You should've known a long time ago, but you didn't know."

I smirked. What is he talking about?

"Let's go," he said.

I got out of the car. I held his wrist. 

We walked a little gravel path leading some where. 

Dead bodies are buried here. I was afraid.

"We're here."

I looked at the grave stone.

"Look," Jungkook said.

I read the tombstone. 

"... A loving father, husband, and uncle..."

Tears filled up my eyes. It was my father.

He was gone for so many years. Leaving my mother and me behind. He was gone this whole time...

I hugged Jungkook. I cried my eyes out. 

"How did you know?" I said.

"Because... a friend of mine told me. His mother married your father after he left," Jungkook said.

"I miss him..." I said.

My eyes were turning red and puffy.

"I know."

I looked at the tombstone again.

Flowers were crowding his tombstone. I smiled and closed my eyes.

Appa.. you are now in a better place now. I wished I have at least seen you one more time before you left. I wondered why nobody told me that you passed away... I loved you so much. We had so many memories with you. I am now engaged with the man of my dreams. I wish I can tell you in person. Now you are in a better place and I wish you the best. I love you appa.

"Let's go.." I said.

"Of course," Jungkook said.

He held my hand as we left.

----

"Are you hungry, Jungkook?" I asked.

"Oh no, please rest," Jungkook said.

I smiled. "It's okay, don't worry about me please."

Jungkook held my hand. "I'm just saying."

"I'm going to make a phone call," I said.

He nodded.

I dialed my mother's phone number.

.....

"Hello?" my mother said.

"Hi umma," I said.

"Oh, Lina, what's up?"

...

"Umma.. did you know what ever happened to my appa?" I asked.

...

"Yes, I knew what happened," my mother said.

I sigh. 

"You knew this whole time?" I said.

"Lina.. I'm so sorry for not telling you right away. You were at Korea at that time. You should realize that your family is still in USA. I didn't feel like telling you over the phone," my mother said.

I sigh.

"It's fine."

...

"Oh.. okay. So how is Jungkook? Is he treating you well?" my mother asks, trying to break the silence.

"Yes umma, he's really amazing."

"I'm glad. Well, I've got to go, talk to you another time, love you." 

"Love you too."

The called ended.

I sat there. My mother knew this whole time. I sigh. If only I can see my appa one more time.

I shed a few tears.

"Lina?" I heard Jungkook.

I cried.

Jungkook sat next to me. I hugged him, and cried on his shirt. His shirt was wet, full of my tears.

"I know it's hard, but just so you know, you got me, okay?" Jungkook said.

I smiled. "Okay."

I'm glad to have Jungkook. He is everything to me.

"Should I cook dinner tonight?" I said.

"Sure," Jungkook said.
