The training field was filled with cries of agony as the agents mourned to their co-agent's death. A portrait of Jimin was set above his jar of ashes with the flowers surrounding it. Beside it was Taehyung, who was delivering his heartfelt goodbye speech for his bestfriend, whom he treated like his closest brother.

The agents kept on looking down for they felt bad seeing how Taehyung couldn't stop on sobbing whilst he delivered his speech. So, Yoongi went to him and patted his shoulder. Taehyung then faced his hyung and hugged him whilst he cried on his shoulder.

Mingyu wiped the tear that fell on his cheeks using the end of his sleeves. He sighed, staring at it. Slowly, he pulled his sleeves up and stared at the scar on his arm.

"What if we didn't make it?" He mumbled, earning the attention of Seokmin who was beside him that gave him a confused face. "I mean... What if we didn't survive against the hands of that mad scientist? Do we also die? Like what happened to Jimin sunbae?"

Seokmin stared at Jimin's portrait sadly and sighed. "I don't know." He answered breathy. "I'm glad that we survived but... I really feel bad for Jimin sunbae that this has to happen to him. He doesn't deserve it."

"No one deserves it—"

"But still—" He turned to Mingyu. "—I mean... Compared to his dark past, Jimin sunbae has such a pure and kind heart. I just couldn't forget how he puts the other's safety first before him. He's so selfless." Seokmin smiled. "Do you remember that time when we were in the middle of a mission and he gave me his bulletproof vest just because mine was torn? And just like that, he continued the mission with himself, prone with bullets."

Mingyu nodded, smiling. "Looking on the brighter side, the agency gained another angel."

Your nose was stuffed and your eyes were puffy from an ugly sob. Sniffing, you lifted your head up and saw Namjoon handing you a glass of water. You pressed your lips and took it, gulping the water in bottoms up.

"Just cry it out." He patted your back.

"—as if crying would do anything, right?" You chuckled bitterly. "I couldn't believe that we've been with a fake Jimin all this time... I never had a clue... that he really did die in my arms when he sacrificed his life for me..." You choked on your sobs and covered your face with your hands.

Namjoon continued comforting you with his hands gently patting your shoulder.

"Y/N." A soft call made you lift your head and saw Seokjin standing in front of you, beside him was your puppy who was looking at you.

"C-cloud—" You pouted and reached out your arms for him.

The puppy barked and jumped on your hold. His barks sounded more like a wail, a cry, since he could feel the sadness in your heart.

You hugged him whilst the puppy kept on licking your cheeks.

"Y-your dad—Jungkook--- We need to go to him." You uttered in a hurry.

"Right. You can go with Jin hyung and Hoseok." He said, turning to the older. "Please update me if ever something happens."

Jin nodded. "Copy."

"Be careful on your way." Namjoon told you and you gave him a small smile.

"Thank you."

Pets weren't allowed inside so Jin initiated to stay outside with Cloud and walk him around. Meanwhile, you and Hoseok walked inside the private hospital whilst he assisted you towards Jungkook's room.
