Dear Seokjin,

Hey, this is me, Jimin. I know it's been a decade since you last heard from me, and Seokjin, I am deeply sorry. I know I have done a lot of things to you and your family and I am very well regretting them now. If only I could make things right, I would but funny, there is no such thing so escaping you and everyone else is the only way I thought. I don't want to cause you any heartaches anymore. You've done nothing but good to me and I will forever be grateful.

I was not the friend you deserve. I knew you know that very clearly especially when I tore apart that letter from Aurora and when I used my own daughter to blackmail you and Taehyung so you would get a divorce. I was an evil friend, but despite al of that, you still love me just the same. You even approached me a year after the what I did and talked to me like nothing happened. And by that time, I realized that I fucked everything up. I fucked my relationship with you, Eireen, Taehyung and most especially Kookie.

Do you know how many times did I just wished to run into your arms and just scream "I am so sorry"? I badly wanted to but I didn't. I didn't because I was ashamed. I hated you for no reason. I was so jealous of what you got in life while failing to recognize what treasure I had. I was blinded by the thoughts of me and Taehyung when I already had Jungkook. And that was one of my greatest regrets. Me, jeopardizing my relationship with you and Jungkook. Those are the things I can't do anything about. That's what I thought but monthly, for 10 whole years, you still manage to prove me wrong because here you are again, reaching out to me when everyone in the world throws me out. And for the first time, I will be listening to you.

I will be out of the hospital. They allowed me to be discharged. I'm mentally okay now and don't worry, I will come visit you once I get out. I will personally say the things I wanted to say to you when we see each other.

- Park Jimin

Seokjin reads the letter again and again making sure he is reading everything right. The hospital texted him and said Jimin wants to meet him at this particular coffee shop. He can't sleep that night and Taehyung was laughing at him at how excited he is. Seokjin just laughed at him. This will be the first time after a long while that he will get to see Jimin. His best friend Jimin. His grandchildren and even Taehyung wanted to come with him, but he disagreed. He wanted Jimin to feel at ease and he doesn't want to bring anyone with him so they could have privacy. This will be a long catching up to do. 10 years is no joke.

His eyes widened when he saw Jimin already. Seokjin immediately wanted to cry. When he last saw Jimin, he wasn't as crinkled as this but seeing him now, he definitely gotten older and hopefully wiser. He smiled and hugged Jimin the moment he could reach him. They laughed and teared up.

For Seokjin it was as if a part of him was whole again. And for Jimin, he felt redeemed.

"I am sorry." Jimin said.

Seokjin was moved to tears. He nodded. "It's okay. It's okay ..."

Jimin held his hand. "Tell Taehyung I am so sorry too. I hope he can forgive me."

"We already did." Seokjin choked out a sob. "A long time ago."

Jimin cried. They both exchanged their piece and hugged each other tightly. Seokjin was convincing Jimin to stay at their house but Jimin refused. "I will stay at Eireen's, but before that I will go somewhere."

"Where?"

"To Jeon Jungkook."
