"You belong in a mental hospital!" He screams at me.

I thought he would be better than last night. I thought wrong.

"They're here! I swear they're alive!" I yell back.

"You're always talking to nothing Taehyung!"

Months go by and mother falls very ill.

"I'm afraid she only has a few weeks left," Dr. Park, Jimin's dad, says, giving a sympathetic look.

"No, no, she has to live, no one can die," I murmur not understanding anything.

"He's not really right in the head," my father whispers to him.

He nods.

"Are you kidding me?!"

"I'm right fucking here!"

"Don't you dare use that kind of language around your elders young man!"

"Stop fighting," mother says from the bed.

I race to her side.

"Mom," I say holding her hand.

"I love you Tae, please find a way to get away from him. I love you so much," she whispers, flashing a faint smile before letting out a breath.

"I love you too mom."

Her eyes shut.

"Mom?"

Nothing.

"Mom!" I scream and get pulled away from the bedside.

I squirm in the arms of a random doctor.

All of a sudden my mom is swarmed with doctors and nurses.

They try restarting her heart but all the attempts fail.

No, no, no!

She can't leave me too!

I burst out in tears, still in the arms of a doctor.

A doctor shakes his head, "time of death, two forty-seven, pm."

My heart drops.

What?

No.

This can't happen.

Things are supposed to end happily!

How is this going to be a happy ending?

"I'm so sorry for your loss," the doctor who is holding me says.

I sob into his chest, not caring if my father will call me a girl for crying in public.

Hours pass and I end up back at the empty pool.

I am about to let myself fall off of the diving board when I feel someone grab my arm.

I turn around to see Jin.

"Jin!" My heart fills with joy once again.

"Not yet," he says.

"Not yet what?" I ask I confusion.

"She wouldn't want it to end like this," he says leading me to the ladder.

"Who?" I ask, but he's already gone.

I almost turn around to just jump but I'm stopped again.

"Get your ass down here you wimp!" My father's voice calls from underneath me.

I do as I'm told and climb down the ladder.

A disappointed look on Jungkook's face appears for a second the disappears.
