Chapter 11

*Nova's Pov*

"Nova come on, it's time to go." Taehyung whispered, holding my hand tighter as I stood in front of Hyeri's grave, silently crying.

For days, I've been stuck in my room crying since Hyeri's death. I barely ate and if I did I would throw it right back out in the toilet. I didn't talk to anyone but my dad whenever I visited him. Taehyung would try calling me, but I would just shut off my phone, not caring about anything.

"Baby please. It's been hours since the funeral ended and it's getting cold. You'll get sick." He pleaded, planting the flower in front of her tombstone.

"I-I don't care. I just want my little girl back." I continued to cry, leaning on his shoulders.

"I don't understand what kind of person would do this to a ten year old." He said, anger hardened in his voice.

I missed five years of her life and now I'm going to never hear her voice, smile, laugh, and just everything about her.

She was my everything, my world and I would have never thought that I was to bury her instead of the opposite.

I didn't even get to say my last goodbye. Our last words were 'Goodnight beautiful' and 'Be back safe', but never thought that would be the last time I would see her alive and well.

"I remember when it was her seventh birthday and she was so excited to call you and when you picked up, her face expression killed me. She looked so happy while telling you everything." He explained as he sat down, pulling me onto his lap. I wanted to hear more stories about her that I haven't heard.

"She never really liked Jinhya. One time she kept saying your name on purpose and would talk about you to me in front of her. It was always so funny." We both chuckled, interlacing our fingers.

"She was always the funny girl. Especially that one time where she faked being sick to watch a movie with Jimin and I to skip ballet the next day. I let her watch it but took her the next day." My voice cracked as I let out a small laugh.

She really changed my input thought on life. I hated taking care of children before taking her into my custody. She was always the happy and laughing young child.

My heart breaks just thinking about her. Not only I was affected but my father as well. He was in distraught and angry while blaming himself for her death. It only made things worse when I walked into her blue room. Posters of Exo, her friends from school, dad, Kai, Taehyung, Jimin, me and everyone else.

Whenever it was getting hard back in college, I would call her and talk for hours as I listened while she spoke about the new boy she met that liked to bother her. It was always adorable and funny talking to her.

We informed her parents about what happened and they didn't care. Last I heard was that they had another kid and still lived in Japan. At first I was furious but then glad because she didn't deserve for them to see her since they left her in the hotel alone back when she was four.

"She wanted to be a veterinarian. It was her dream. I would send her animal and medical toys just so she would play with them. She loved it and always asked for more." I smiled at the memory. A tear had quickly fallen but I let it fall on my cold hands.

It was freezing but I wasn't going to leave any time soon. It was almost midnight and the funeral ended a couple of hours ago.

"Nova, please don't do anything that could harm yourself. I know you're hurt and I am too but please for me don't do anything that could harm you." Taehyung pleaded, squeezing our entwined hands. I knew what he meant.
