3 months later.
I grabbed my coat with my car keys on my other hand and opened the front door then called for Minji.
"Minji, palli!"
"Ne!!" She comes down from the stairs and ran out the door as fast as lightning. "Careful Minji, youll hurt yourself" I warned her.
She stands at the other side of the car. "Oppa palli, palli. I dont want to be late!" I laughed a little.
"Hey, whos fault that she woke up late from bed today?" She gave me a mini glare and I laughed again. With that, we entered the car and drove off.
We went passed by some few shops and stores but I stopped when Minji suddenly asked me to stop by at the flower shop. So, I parked the car by the road and went inside the flower shop.
The smell of fresh flowers and nature went through my nostrils. The smell was pleasant and quiet calming. An old woman from the counter greeted us with a smile which I only replied her back with a small nod. I looked down at Minji.
"So what flower do you want to give?"
"I can pick any flower I like?"
"Of course honey" I patted her head. With that, she ran off to search for some flower. I walked a bit to check some flowers that is nearby my surroundings while waiting for Minji to come back. But my eyes stops at a familiar flower.
"Umm.. Excuse me ajumma. Is this a buckwheat flower?"
The old woman looked up and wears a glasses on. "Well, yes young man" she replied.
"Are you sure?"
"Well do I look like I'm not sure?"
I looked back at the flower and asked the old lady for a bouquet. Minji came back with 3 pink tulips on her hand.

We arrived at the cemetery.
I hold onto Minjis left hand while a buckwheat flowers on my other and Minji holds the tulips she brought earlier on her other hand.
We stopped at a grave and Minji was sitting slowly at the side of Taehyungs grave.
"Annyeong oppa. I brought you flowers that we both liked and I hope you like it" she placed the flowers gently on top of his grave. "I remembered when we both planted tulips flower together infront of our house but eventually died because we didnt watered it regularly" I chuckled a little at her statement and patted her head.
"Bogosipda oppa.." We both went quiet for a moment. Buy I broke the silence and assured her "I'm sure Taehyung oppa will like it" I smiled sadly at her.
"Mr. Park?"
I turned around at the source of the voice that called me.
"Haerin?"
"Its been so long. We havent made contact for 3 months. How are you?"
I stood up from my squatting position. "I'm fine, how about you?"
She went silent but never broke the eye contact. She lets out a sigh "I dont know" she looks down and I feel like she was holding back her tears from escaping her eyes. But a drop makes it way to her cheeks. "But I guess I'm fine" she looks up with red eyes.
I looked down and saw that her hands were covering something. "What are you holding?" She was confused at first but realized what I was talking about.
"Oh... Well pull out your hands" I obeyed her request and wait for her next word. "since you are here. I want you to let it free" she place her hands on top of my palm "since when you first met her, it came from this little fellow"
