"That's what I hate about Jennie. She keeps things to herself, she keeps her feelings on her own."

It didn't take him so long to finally make up his mind. He followed Jennie as clandestine as he could. He kept on hiding on every tree Jennie passes by and peeks over it afterwards.

If anyone would realize what he was doing, there might be a chance that they would call a police if Jimin wasn't just handsome.

The truth is, some people were already glancing at him time to time. Jimin seems to notice it but didn't give a fuck at all.

He is definitely happy with what he was doing.

And so does Jennie.

Jennie tied her hair up, which she didn't know was being praised by someone awhile.

She went in the same place, for the same reason as well.

"I expected your visit. Come on." One of the workers greeted her, she only smiled.

Jimin's walking pace suddenly slowed down as he saw where Jennie went in.

Funeral Homes? He was surprised at the same time nervous without knowing why.

He stopped and hid on a tree which is spotted in front of the place. He waited for Jennie to finally come out and that time didn't take long to come.

He eyed Jennie covertly and when the girl was finally out of sight, he went in the place.

He cautiously walked as he met the person who greeted Jennie.

"Oh, good evening sir. What can I do for you?" The person greeted and asked.

"Uhm, can I visit, uhh, Jennie's... uhm.." Jimin was out of words as he doesn't have any idea of who Jennie was visiting for.

"Oh, so you're Jennie's what?" The person asked again.

"A friend." Jimin showed his signature smile.

"Mm, okay. This way, mister."

The person leads Jimin his way and as they finally got to the spot, the person spoke.

"I'm gonna leave for some privacy, mister. I may now walk out and leave you." Afterwards, she bowed but...

"No, wait!" He stopped her from leaving. The worker gave him a questioning look. "Uhm will you please stay? I wanna ask some things."

The worker nodded.

"I'm Jennie's friend, but she doesn't usually tell things personally. Would you tell me who is she in Jennie's life?" Jimin pertained to the old woman inside the golden coffin.

"Ahh," the worker laughed a little. "I know Jennie, she will never tell things such as this. Only to one person, Lalice."

"Lalice? Manoban?" Jimin asked for reassurance.

"Oh, you know her." The worker nodded. "I was kinda surprised when you told me you're her friend when she only has Lalice as one. New friend eh?"

Jimin just smiled but his brain is currently having a hard time to process everything.

"So, she is Jennie's mother."

The worker smiled sadly as he heard Jimin's loud gasp.

"W-w-why didn't she... t-tell me..." Jimin was so shocked that he can't even utter the words properly.

"That's what I hate about Jennie. She keeps things to herself, she keeps her feeling on her own." She shook her head slowly.

And she over keeping leads her to a suicidal attempt. Jimin tsked.

"Did she bring that?" Jimin asked when he saw white flowers above the casket.

"No, mister."

"Then who?" Jimin was sure that Jennie went in without flowers with her.

"You know who Lalice is right? She did."

"The fuck." Jimin literally held his aching head which is trying to process everything.

DO THEY REALLY KNOW EACH OTHER OR NAH?! WHY.... ARGH!

"Are you okay, sir?"

"I-i-i am, hehe." Jimin sheepishly smiled. "Jennie knows?" He asked again.

"Apparently, no." The worker shook her head left to right. "Lalice adjured all of us here to never tell that she was the one bringing that."

"Oooh, then what did you tell Jennie?"

"We said, it's from our company. It's not to be paid at all." The worker shrugged.

"Other than Lalice, who else goes to visit her mother?" Jimin asked.

"No one else."

Jimin thought, why is Lalice doing these things with Jennie unaware? First, the thing with her fake friends. Second, this flower.

And for Jennie, how could she keep all of this with herself?

But now, Jimin has only one plan.

And it's to keep Jennie away from suicidal attempts and make her happy.
