A/N Heyyyyyy we don't talk about how long it's been since I updated.... ANygays, one more chapter after this and then the Epilouge!

A month had passed and the two were as happy as ever. They had been around each other almost non-stop since the start of their relationship and saw no end of that in sight.

Currently, the two were walking back from their little movie date. They were hand in hand, childishly swinging them back and forth with laughs and light conversation.

"V, can I ask you something serious?", Jungkook asked as they neared the dorms.

"Sure, what is it?", Taehyung asked back, a bit of hesitation in his voice. Jungkook rarely brought up any matter of serious things, so he was a bit worried.

"I know you said you're an orphan, but do you know where your parents graves are? I understand if that's too personal to talk about, but I thought maybe we could go see them, if you want to that is", Jungkook said nervously. Taehyung was silent for a moment as he thought back to the day of his father's funeral.

---

Taehyung has specified to the coroner that he wanted his father cremated, which they had done. He didn't want him to have a grave. He didn't want him to have that amount of respect. Given that those were his thoughts, you can imagine his surprise when he decided to go visit his mother's grave after the funeral service at a nearby church, one his cousin had insisted on, to find a new gravestone pressed against hers. He immediately walked over and read the name.

It was his fathers.

Outraged didn't even begin to cover what he felt. He would not stand for this. No way. His mother did not deserve to have her resting place disrespected by a gravestone of the man who murdered her. Never in a million years would Taehyung allow it.

So, late that night, Taehyung drove back to the cemetery again, but not empty handed. He brought his fathers ashes and a sledgehammer. His first order of business was throwing his fathers ashes in the trash, smashing the vase with the hammer after.

He then walked to the gravestones. He said a hello to his mother and promised her he would take care of it. And he did.

He ripped his fathers gravestone out of the ground and carried it to the parking lot, smashing it with the hammer until nothing but dust wash left. After that, he went home with satisfaction, that is, until his cousin placed another. And another. And yet another.

Taehyung destroyed all of them every time.

In the end, the stones were too expensive to keep replacing, and his cousin lost interest, thinking that it was for the better that there wasn't a stone there.

Taehyung had got what he wanted and would never so much as let a lingering thought of that man by his mother's grave again.

---

"Yes. I know where my mothers is. My father doesn't have one", he said curtly, the memories making his thoughts bitter and full of hatred yet again. It would pass, but at the moment, he just felt angry again, though he wouldn't let Jungkook know.

"Oh, well maybe we can put something together for him", Jungkook smiled softly.

"What? No", Taehyung said right away.

"It's no trouble, V. I'm sure we can round up some money or even make one ourselves", Jungkook pushed.

"I said no. I don't want that", Taehyung said with a bit more force in his voice.

"Come on, V, don't you think it'd be nice to do? We could put it next to your moms so they could be together and-", Jungkook started before being cut off by Taehyung.

"Jungkook, I said no! What part of that don't you understand? Do you need me to say it louder? Fuck no! Not stop pushing!", Taehyung yelled loudly. He had never yelled at Jungkook like that before. Jungkook teared up.

"I-I'm sorry, I-I just thought-", he sniffled.

"You just thought you'd butt into something you know nothing about and make me feel like shit. Yea. Thanks", Taehyung scoffed," Get yourself back to the dorms. I'm taking a walk"

And with that, he walked off, leaving a crying Jungkook behind. Jungkook ran to the dorms sobbing the whole way. When he walked in, Yoongi and Jimin were sitting on the couch.

"What's going on?", Yoongi asked," Where's V?"

"He ran off after he screamed at me", Jungkook cried. Jimin got up and hugged Jungkook tightly, gently rubbing his back.

"What? What happened?", Yoongi asked as he too stood up.

"I-I don't know. I asked him if he wanted to put a little gravestone for his father next to his moms after he told me he only had one for her, a-and he flipped out on me", Jungkook choked out," Then he just left"

"I think I know where he is", Yoongi sighed," I'll go get him. Please just don't leave yet, he'll explain then what happened. I'll make sure he does"

Jungkook just nodded as he held onto Jimin tightly while Yoongi put his shoes on and grabbed his keys. He drove to the cemetery where Taehyung's mom as buried and sure enough, there he was, sat by her grave. Yoongi sighed and got out of the car. He walked wordlessly over to him and sat down.

"I fucked everything up", Taehyung croaked out. It was obvious he had been crying," He was pushing it and I just snapped. I couldn't take it"

"He didn't know any better", Yoongi said.

"I know. That's what makes it even worse", he sniffled.

"Let's go back to the dorms. I want you to explain it to him. Explain everything to him. No more hiding. If you really want him to forgive you, it's the only way", Yoongi said.

"Won't he hate me?", Taehyung asked softly.

"No, not if you tell the truth", Yoongi said. Taehyung thought for a moment before nodding and standing up with Yoongi. As they drove back to the dorms, Taehyung took deep breaths, because he was about to relive every. Single. Memory. Again.
