Kiana's POV

I walked downstairs after freshening up and changing to go see my real parents and then visit my adopted parents and Chaeyeon afterwards. Minghao sat there with a half full glass of water.

"Hey, I'm ready." I said and gestured for us to leave. He got the signal and started walking to the front door.

"I forgot to ask but how are you ? You know, condition wise." He asked while going inside the car, referring to my injuries.

"It's getting better. It's just that at random times, my legs would give out or if I put pressure on the wrong spot, it starts hurting." I told him.

"Have you been taking the pain killers ?"

"Yeah, it works wonders to be honest." I said to him.

"That's good." He kept his eyes on the road but I could feel his small smile when I told him that.

"About the others-" he started but I cut him off.

"Stop, I don't want to think about them, at least not right now." I said and he nodded. We pulled up at the house. It's been so long since I've been here. I haven't been here since my parents died.

"Damn, it's been forever." I said.

"Yeah, 2 years. Everything's still the same, just older." Minghao said next to me and I started walking to the door but then waited for minghao to catch up. He unlocked the door and let me in.

"Mom ! Dad ! Come here !" Minghao yelled and I heard footsteps coming down from the stairs but then froze once I was in their sight.

"...hi." I said and they continued going down the stairs but carefully, as if I was so fragile that anything within a hundred meter radius could break me. They gestured me to sit down so I did, them sitting across from Minghao and I.

"So, how are you ? Are you doing well ?" Minghao's mom- or my mom asked me and I nodded.

"Yeah, I'm doing good." I said, not trying to show that I'm actually not doing well.

"That's good." She told me and I smiled.

"Look, we're sorry we didn't tell you sooner that you were adopted-" my dad started off but I cut him off.

"It's completely fine. I understand, you guys weren't in a good enough condition to take care of me. I just wanted to say hi since it's been a while since I've seen you, especially now knowing that you guys  are my parents." I told them and I could feel the relief that swept over them.

"Oh thank goodness. Do you want anything ? Food, a drink ?" My mom asked.

"No, I'm fine, I just decided to stop by. I'll be going now, I need to go somewhere actually." I said and they nodded as I stood up to go leave.

"Oh, that's alright. I guess we'll see you around right ?" My dad asked and I nodded.

"Of course." I said and left, minghao already knew I was going to go to the cemetery so he didn't bother to follow me when I left.

I walked to the cemetery since it was quite nearby and I was in a good enough condition to do so. I looked around as I walked and saw the park that I used to go to all the time with chaeyeon and minghao so I approached it.

"Crazy how nothing changes after all the years." I told myself while sitting on the swing.

Flashback

"Chaeyeon ! It's my turn to go on the swings !" Minghao yelled and I giggle while I swung next to Chaeyeon.

"That's too bad ! You were too slow to get to the swings !" I yelled.

"If you want, there's a baby swing over there." Chaeyeon said and giggled right after. Minghao poured and crossed his arms.

"You know I can't fit there !" He said and I laughed.

"We're kidding, come on Minghao, get on here." I said as I was getting off the swing.

"Are you sure ?"

"Yes, now go before I change my mind." I said and smiled at him.

Flashback ends

I smiled at the past and didn't even realize I was crying.

"Oh my goodness." I said to myself, wiping off the tears on my face and got up off the swings. I started walking towards the cemetery again which was close to the park.

I approached the gate and went inside, knowing exactly where they were buried.

"Hey mom, dad." I said to the two gravestones in front of me. "It's been a while huh ? I always think you guys, everyday, every minute. I still love you guys so much and I miss you. I know you're watching me from up there and dad, you must be mad at me for having a fake boyfriend but it's okay, me too. Oh yeah, I met up with my real parents today. It's okay, I don't hate you both at all. You guys made me who I am today. You raised me with love and care and I appreciate all that you did for me. Thank you, I love you. I'm so sorry I wasn't able to say that to you as much as I can while you were still here. I love you so much." I said and got up to go to Chaeyeon's grave.

"Hey Chaeyeon, what's up ? I can't believe you were my cousin all this time." I said and laughed through the tears. "I still miss you so much. I read the books you gave me whenever I feel down. I hope you have a copy of those up there, those books I gave you took a lot of time and effort. I hope you still read through them. Thanks for guiding me alongside my parents. I don't think I wouldn't be able to survive without you guys guiding me to do the right choices. Thanks for being the best friend ever, I'll see you around." I said and got up to go leave.

"Where is she, we just saw her walk in here." I heard a voice say and I immediately hid. I'm the only person here ? Are they looking for me ? I took a peek and saw woozi. I let out a sigh of relief and got up from my hiding spot.

I really need to update more often but I feel like this chapter was highkey boring sooo
