"You have a brother?!" Min Su asked.
"Yes, I also have a sister but she's not here. She is studying at Daegu." Jungkook told her.
"What about your brother?" Jungkook bit his lip and answered.
"H-he's no longer in this world," he nervously replied.
"I-I'm sorry, Jungkook. You don-"
"He was there with me but when Se Jun came, he tried to separate us. He always tried to win over me. My brother was always with him, leaving me all alone. I was glad that my parents and my sister didn't abandon me. I mean, they did abandon me but my brother was-," he didn't realize that he was crying until Min Su pulled him into a hug.
"Jungkook, you know you don't have to continue." She comforted him by rubbing his back as he sniffled.
"Se Jun was just twelve but he was clever enough to make people believed him." He continued.
"And my brother was just sixteen, he was too naive. B-but the reason he died was because of me. That day, he apologized for ignoring me. I sulked and ran to the park and he chased before me but then a car came and hit him. I regretted it so much, Min Su. If I just listened to him, maybe none of this happened."
"Don't blame yourself, Jungkook." She put her hands between his face.
She then asked Jungkook to sit on the swing.
"Let me push you while telling my story."
"Why are you telling me?" He said, wiping his tears.
"Well, you told your story so I think you also need to know my past too."
"Do you remember about the swing I told you before?" She asked.
"The last time you came here when you were twelve."
"Yes. Actually, I lost one of my childhood friends. He got into an accident too. Other than Jia, I relied on him. But when I got news about him, I was so sad. And the last time I saw him was at the swing. That's why I didn't come here anymore. This park held so much memories." She said
"He was also sixteen at that time." Min Su continued.
"What was his name?" Jungkook asked.
"Jae Hyun. Jeon Jae Hyun."
