"I'm nervous. What if I can't read my speech? What if I freeze or mess up." I sobbed as I walked into the depressing room, squeezing Haechan's hand.
"You're going to be great. If need be someone can stand up there with you. Both you and Yuto are gonna do them proud." He whispered to reassure me as he rubbed his thumb over the back of my hand.
I looked up to see two coffins at the front covered in an assortment of beautiful flowers. On top of the left one was blue roses that spelt out 'Dad' and on top of the left one were red roses that spelt out 'Mum'. As soon as I saw them my breath caught in my throat and I dropped to my knees.
"I can't do this." I mumbled over and over again burying my head in my hands.
"Come here Y/N, you're okay darling." I heard a soft voice whisper in my ear.
"Nanny, why does this happen to good people?" I spoke softly as I pushed myself up so I could hug the woman in front of me. When I pulled away from the hug I saw my friends sat with their parents, scattered around the room, all looking at me with worried expression. Unsure of what to do I just smiled and made my way towards the seats at the front. Or more specifically, the seat next to Yuto.

"Thank you all for coming today, to mourn the loss of two wonderful people. Some of you were friends or colleagues, but today you are a family., that is here to support one another in a time of need. I have been told about Elijah and Georgina's history and I would like to share it with you all. They met when they were 18, they went to the academy that Y/N is studying at currently. They first interacted with each other in their combat class, because they were supposed to fight each other but Elijah refused because he felt it was wrong to hit a woman with an unjustifiable reason. This caused Georgina to strike first, ultimately meaning he would fight her because there was now a reason. They got married two years later and had their first child, Yuto, and their second child, Y/N, two years later. They had to travel a lot, because of their work, so they let Yuto and Y/N live with Elijah's parents, until Yuto moved to Korea and Y/N joined the academy.
The first to give their eulogy is Yuto." The officiant spoke loudly, to ensure everyone could hear him and on cue Yuto stood up and made his way to the podium to begin his eulogy.

"One of my fondest memories of my parents is when I was younger, I think I was 6 or 7. It was when I told them about my love for music, or more specifically rapping. I remember the looks on their faces, they were so happy that I had found something I was interested in. Another memory I have is the year I left to go to Korea, to chase my dream of being in the entertainment industry. They looked so happy that I was going to be doing what I loved, but I knew deep down they were sad because it meant they wouldn't see me. Our family was much like most of the families here now. Me and Y/N never really got to see them, but when we did we'd stay up all night telling them about the things we'd been up to while they were out on missions. As we got older we depended less and less on our grandparents, who we lived with most of the time, and more on the friends we had made, mine through the company I was in and Y/N's through joining the academy. Before I go and sit down again I just wanted to thank you all for coming here, and supporting us." He tried to keep his emotions to a minimum, so he could give his full eulogy before crying, but it was harder when it kicked in that it was really happening. The minute he sat down next to me he broke down and started sobbing. I definitely think it was harder for him than it was for me because it had been so long since he had seen them.

"Thank you, for that Yuto. I would now like to ask for us to listen to a song, selected by the family, to take a moment just to be with our thoughts," The officiant said as he returned to his place at the podium. Once the song had finished he started to speak again, "Next is Y/N, to give her eulogy."
