Jin pov

"Thanks for driving us here." Namjoon shakes his head as I unbuckle my seat belt.

"No, problem. I wanted to come...just in case you needed someone to lean on." I blush at his words, but glance back at Jimin in the back seat. He's staring hesitantly out the window and at the row of tombstones that cover the green grass.

The weather has gotten warmer as winter has passed. Thank goodness because I could not take the icy weather any longer. It's only been a day since the trial, but it's the anniversary of our parents death. Jimin and I both decided we should visit.

"We should get going." I mumble as I exit the car. "Jimin, you coming?" I ask as he is still seated in the back. As if snapped out of a trance he comes too and quickly scoots out of the car and jogs towards me.

"Do you remember which one it is?" He asks and I nod. 

"Yeah...how could I forget." I whisper. All those times I came here in secret asking and pleading for forgiveness in hopes that it would soothe my bleeding heart. "Lets go." 

"Don't forget these." Namjoon says as he hands me a bouquet of white lilies. 

"Thank you. I almost forgot."

Jimin walks by my side and I can't help but smile down at him when he places his hand in mine as he blushes at the ground. "What?" He mumbles and I shake my head as we walk down the long row of tombstones.

Finally, we walk into a family lot and come face to face with our parents granite stones that lay side by side. I've been here for less than 5 minutes and I'm already tearing up. They didn't deserve this. They should have still been here watching Jimin dance and me...I don't know.

"I miss them..." I blink away my tears and glance over at Jimin who's cheeks are flushed. 

"Me too." I squeeze his hand. "But, I know they're at peace now...right?" I answer not so sure of myself. 

They have to be at peace or else how will I ever be able to move on.

"I think so." Jimin kneels down by their graves and places his hands on the stone. "When ever I picture them...they're always smiling." I nod my head and put the flowers in between the stones.

"Yeah, they always seem so happy." 

Jimin clears his throat before he starts to speak again. "Hey, mom. Hey dad. I wanted to tell you about what's been going on with me." He exhales. " It's been rough without you guys. The foster care system hasn't been that great. Jin and I got placed in this really terrible home where our foster father would hit us. I got through it mostly because Jin would protect me." He pauses and smiles.

My mind flashes to Mrs. Seon in the grocery store. I haven't found the right time to tell him that I bumped into her. Maybe after the trial is done. I don't want to bring unnecessary stress.

"We ended up switching foster homes and I ended up in the same house that I told you about last time." My eyes flicker to Jimin. Did he come here alone before? Seems like I'm not the only one that needed them. "Yeah, so I thought about you two a lot and how much I wished you never passed, but then...If you never passed I would have never met my friends I have today."

I'm shocked by the tears flowing down Jimin's cheeks as he bites his lips. "That's terrible to think about. That if you two were alive I wouldn't have Yoongi and Taehyung. I would have never met Jungkook and Hoseok. Minjae never would have become my friend in that hell house, but I really miss you guys too." 

A frown tugs at my lips as he starts to hiccup and I realize that I feel the same way.  The world felt like it kept getting darker and darker.

I sigh and stare up to the sky. The sun is shining and clouds float peacefully over the blue sky. My eyebrows furrow as I look at one cloud in particular.

After some effort of piecing together its form, I realize what its morphing into. I tap Jimin quickly and point up. Staring down at us is my mother and fathers faces. They seem to be hugging.

I blink once more and just like that their figures disappear. "Jimin, did you see?"

He wipes his eyes and stands. "Yeah, I did."

I smile at the tombstone and for the first time I know that they are happy. That they aren't in pain any longer.

"I feel lighter." I whisper.

Jimin genuinely smiles at me and I feel my heart warm.

"Lets finish this."
