3RD PERSON POV:
it was sunday morning and the sun glowed white. the sky was a shy blue, layered with cloud upon cloud, tucking away any lone stars.
gently picking up jimin, yoona placed him farther away from the waves, and taehyung tied his necklace around the pup's neck.
yoona's gift gleamed attractively against the worn red ribbon around jimin's neck.
smiling, she kissed the top of his head, and taehyung gave the dog one last pat before the two made their way to the steps of the highest dock.
what usually took no longer than two minutes to climb the dock tower, suddenly felt longer than ever.
but they soon made it to the top.
"father." yoona said, staring up at the sky.
"i'm so sorry for taking mom away."
"i'm so sorry for mom taking you away too."
"i'm so sorry for everything."
"but,"
"i hope you know that like you had mother,"
"i have taehyung."
"yoona's father," taehyung said, gazing down at the sea.
"i'm so sorry your family suffered so much."
"i'm so sorry that he made her suffer so much."
"but in reality, amidst all the dread,"
"i hope you know that like you had yoona's mother,"
"i have yoona."
there was a dreadful finality in the way those two spoke.
an irreversible finality.
smiling at each other, yoona reached for taehyung's hand, and he laced his fingers with her own.
looking at the sun, that connected both the shimmering sea and iridescent sky,
as they jumped.
