JIMIN P. O. V

Today I woke up early in the morning since I had a pile of photos to sign. I was only able to sign less than ten photographs when I got a call from Jieun's brother.

"Yes Hyung."

"Jimin, umm...did I wake you up?"

"No Hyung, I was already up."

"I see. Well... I called you to ask a favour from you."

"Sure Hyung."

Then the line suddenly went silent. I pulled the phone away from my ear to see if I've accidently pressed the end button but no, I was still on the line.

"Umm... Min Jun Hyung, are you there?"

"Ah! Yeah yeah. The thing is...today is our dad's death anniversary."

I remained silent with my lips drawn to a thin line not knowing what to say.

"Why I called is... I want Jieun to go and pay respect to him. She never has gone there saying that it was her fault. She've never visited our mom either. So.... I want you to take her there."

Well... That's a lot he is asking from me and I know how Jieun feels about her father's demise. I wonder if she'll like to go there.

"I know I'm asking you to do something huge. But other than you I don't know who else can make her go. Surely Taehyung can't do that. When Jieun says 'no' then that's a 'no' for him. But what I feel is you can deal with her stubbornness better than anyone. What I want is to her to let go of the past and move on. "

After listening to him I finally opened my mouth to give him a reply.

"Don't worry Hyung. I'll make sure to take her there this time."

"Thank you Jimin."

"Don't mention it Hyung."

Thus here I am at Daejeon National Cemetery with Jieun.

Opening the door to her I waited till she steps out but instead she kept staring at the iron gates with her mouth hanging.

"Umm...you gonna come?"

She remained silent for a matter of few seconds before awakening her voice.

"What are we doing here?"

She asked in a monotone voice. Her voice gave the answer I was dreading for. She didn't like being here even for a mere second.

"But I promised Hyung that I would help her move forward."

"Well, umm... it's umm..."

"What are you contemplating for Jimin? It's  just a simple question. What are we doing here?"

This time she looked straight into my eyes while talking and her face held a poker expression.

"There's no use of trying to smooth talk with her. The best thing to do is come clean."

"We are here to pay respect to your parents."

I said with an equal nonchalant voice to hers.
