Dear Jimin,

Today marks 7 days after your death. I was lucky enough to be invited by your parents to pay my respects. Perhaps you might still be angry with them, but maybe it's time for you to let bygones be bygones.

You're not here so you probably don't see it. They look like ghosts, hyung. Their expressions emotionless and pale, your mother constantly has tears down her face and your brother is a mess. Your father, though you may not believe it, has not shave nor has he been eating or drinking well.

As expected, we didn't talk. Well, your parents and me, I mean. But I did learn from your brother that they felt immense regret because of your death. From what Jihyun says, they blame themselves even for your death, saying that it was probably a personal decision you made to end your own life.

And it got me thinking. Did you? After all, you were driving alone that day. I had vocal lessons with my students and you were coming to pick me up.

...

No. You wouldn't do that.
Would you?

Yours,
Jungkook
