{closure}

There was no weather, no wind, just howling as Jungkook and Hoseok walked side by side through the cemetery. Rows of tombstones stood in silence to the left and right, in front and behind, like a sea of the dead. Some were crumbled with the weathering of centuries, some where smooth marble with new black writing and laid with floral tributes. Most were overgrown and unkept. 
Not hers though...
Not Eun-ha's. 

Jungkook let his feet tread lightly over the soils that supported new spring growth, white speckles and green wands of grass. Around his neck hung loosely his scarf and it flew as the billowing wind brushed through his hair. 
As he neared the grave, he adjusted his scarf out of nerves. 

Noticing this, Hoseok sent the male a sad smile from over his shoulder, feet coming to a stop in front of his sister's grave. He drew in a breath, moving aside a little for Jungkook to join him, "Here she is." he spoke softly, the wind carrying his sombre words through the trees. 

Steadying his breaths, Jungkook for the first time allowed his eyes to rest over her name, his heart hearing the sound of her voice as if she were right there beside him. Perhaps it was relief, but Jungkook found his emotions rising as he stood there in silence. 

"You don't have to say anything." Hoseok reassured, bending down as he carefully rested a bright bouquet of flowers against his sister's headstone, "Just know that I don't resent you... and I know she wouldn't either." He finished, rising back to his feet as his lips rose into a sad smile. 

Curling his fists into tight balls by his side, Jungkook casted his gaze skyward, watching as the clouds moved overhead with a steady slowness. It was rather calming, allowing for Jungkook to keep himself composed as he spoke, "She was special... and-" He paused, biting down against his lower lip, "God- I miss her so much."

With a tight lipped smile, Hoseok nudged Jungkook against the shoulder, a small gesture of comfort before he turned his attention back to the grave, "Me too."

As the breeze whistled through the trees the pair felt at peace with the moment, relishing the wind through their hair. Hoseok had let go of his hunt for revenge long ago, and reminding Jungkook of this they both decided to gain closure together. 

"Kook." Hoseok sighed, turning as he placed his hands against the male's shoulders, "You can move on from this now... there is no more hate or anger that I have towards you." He spoke, lips transforming into a sombre smile, "Don't let this hold you down anymore."

Feeling Hoseok's light squeeze of reassurance, Jungkook felt a weight leave his chest, like he had been suffocated for so long, but finally he could breathe. 
Slowly, he gave a nod, returning the smile as he spoke, "I won't."

Hoseok patted him against the back, "Good." he chuckled lightly, flicking his wrist up to check the time before turning his eyes back to the male by his side, "Now... lets head over to meet them, yeah?"

Twirling his pen absentmindedly in his hand, Jimin wore a frown. His messy orange hair fell softly over his eyes as he casted his gaze to the documents on the front counter, letting out a groan of annoyance as he buried his head in his hands, "There's too much paper work~" He complained, lifting his gaze once he felt a presence looming behind him. 

With a low chuckle, Yoongi snaked his hands around Jimin's waist, back hugging the male before planting a kiss against Jimin's neck, "Paperwork is a big thing when we're putting the parlour under our names." He smiled, hugging Jimin a little tighter, "You should lighten up a bit~"

Rolling his eyes, Jimin turned around to face Yoongi, crossing his arms firmly over his chest, "And you Min Yoongi shouldn't be walking around so much." He deadpanned, pursing his lips as he took Yoongi by the hand.
Wordlessly, Jimin dragged the now grumpy male over to the lounge, seating him down, "There... you just got off your crutches... we don't want any accidents."

Letting out a huff, Yoongi blew a strand of hair away from his eyes, "You're too cautious..."

Cutting the conversation short, Jimin and Yoongi both turned their heads when a small chime came from the front of the store. They both smiled as Namjoon and Seokjin made their way through the entrance, followed by Taehyung who of course carried a tray full of cookies. 

"Now... before you taste these, I need to let you know that I was the one who baked them." Taehyung gave a sheepish grin as he placed them down against the front counter, not at all surprised by the hesitance of the group to go and try one of his baked goods. So the male shrugged, "Suit yourself."

Making their way over to the lounges, Seokjin and Namjoon sat side by side. "Long time no see." Namjoon smiled, earning a chuckle from Yoongi. 

"You're still doing well I take it?" Yoongi asked, earning a nod from Namjoon, 

"Yep... businesses are running well thanks to this one." He grinned, nudging Seokjin playfully against the side. 

As conversation began to grow, the chime of the door sounded once more.
Taehyung turned his head towards the entrance, watching as Hoseok and Jungkook both headed on inside. The air was cold and fresh until the door was shut once more, trapping the heat inside. 

"What's up!" Hoseok smiled, his very presence lightening the mood as he made his way over to join the others on the couch. 

Taehyung however waited as Jungkook looked his way, almost unable to keep the grin from his face. The brunette made his way over to Taehyung's side, wrapping an arm around the male's shoulders. 

Heading over to the lounge to join the others, Taehyung paused to talk to Jungkook, "It all went well?"

That famous bunny grin that Taehyung loved all so much spread across Jungkook's face, the male giving a nod before responding, "Everything went perfectly."

And so Taehyung smiled back, the couple making their way over to the lounge to join the others.

Outside the light of the setting sun shone through the glass, casting everything in its radiant glow. Inside there were no grudges, no pain or hate, everything was just perfect between them. And although they lived separate lives, they all still had each other to count on... 

... Just incase they ever fell into trouble once more.
