I Love You || GOT7 (REVAMP IN PROGRESS)

Chapter 26

A WEEK OR SO LATER

HYE MI POV

Today is the anniversary of my parent's death. I can't believe it's been a year and I still haven't visited their graves. I didn't even go to their funeral. They're probably disappointed of their only child. I have to see them today.

Lately, I've been having the same nightmare, the night of the car accident where my parents died and I was on the verge of dying.

I keep waking up in the middle of the night screaming with sweat dripping down my forehead.

I woke up with a shriek at 5 am. I felt the need to be held but sadly I lived alone. I thought about calling Mark but I didn't want to bother him and I couldn't go back to sleep so I just got ready for the day.

I dressed in a flowy black long sleeve dress. I wasn't planning on going to school today. I'm spending the whole day with my family.

I walked to a nearby flower market and the shopkeeper greeted me.

"Why hello there miss. Aren't you supposed to be heading to school?" he asked.

"I'm not a highschool student" I lied.

"Oh my apologies. You look so young. What can I do for you?"

"Well.... I'm visiting my parent's grave for the first time and I'm not sure what type of flowers to get them..."

"I'm sorry for your loss. I think I know the perfect arrangements" he said and walked to the back of the shop.

My phone vibrated.

It was a text from Mark.

----------------------------------
Mark: Where are you? School's gonna start soon. You better not be late.

The shop keeper came out and gave me a bouquet of white and red flowers.

"These are white carnations" he said pointing to the white flowers, "They symbolize remembrance"

"And these are red roses. They symbolize passionate love"

"Wow. They're beautiful. It's exactly what I wanted. Are you a mind reader or something?" I jokingly asked.

"Haha of course not. I'm just a really talented florist"

"Well thank you for your help" I said as I paid him.

I bowed before leaving and headed towards the graveyard. I took out a tiny piece of paper with an address on it. Mrs. Im gave it to me in case I ever did want to visit my parent's grave.

When I arrived, I came across two white, marble tombstones that read,

Go Shin Hye and Go Hakyeon, loving father and husband, loving mother and wife, 1979-2015

A tear escaped my eye as I carefully laid the bouquet on the stone.

I got on my knees and cried, "Mianhae appa, omma. I know I should've visited you sooner. I just couldn't except the fact that you were gone. I hate how I can't do anything and it hurts when I want to see you most. I promise-"

*Buzz Buzz*

Mark: Why aren't you at school? Are you not feeling well? Do you want me to come over?

HM: No, I'm fine. I had something important to do so I couldn't go to school.
