Ch.27

Deoksim stared at her family who were inside the funeral hall. She couldn't approach them eve  though she wanted to console them. She had no right to approach them. She couldn't bring back Sol-ah. She let her die. How can she approach them after what happened.

She saw his father's blank figure,sitting beside the three coffins. One was for Sol-ah,the other one was for Jungkook and the last one was for Deoksim. Her mother was next to him crying her eyes out. And Jihoon,he was looking after Rawon who had no idea that he had lost his mother. Poor boy still held into his mother's necklace, playing with it.

Everything seemed dead.

Taehyung, Jimin,Hoseok and Yoongi had not stopped crying ever since the incident. They were looking exhausted.

Jongsuk was looking dead next to Sol-ah's coffin.

Jungkook's daughter was asking for his dad but Jisoo could only cry helplessly.

This is the tragic end of the Kim family. Their destruction started a long time ago. Since the day Jungkook left Sol-ah's hand to the day he held Sol-ah's hand to die together,everything was a bittersweet memory.

Happy ending? Not everyone receives such a thing. Maybe, it is a happy ending? Sol-ah was free from the torturous life while Jungkook was able to hold her hand. They came together to this world and left together.

But the rest of the people will still have a long way to go. Who knows,maybe,one day,they will all meet again.

Deoksim gasped when Jin looked at her way. He saw her. She immediately back faced him and left.

Jin heaved a small sigh.

She fixed her mask and tried to leave the hall but Namjoon was infront of her.

His red swollen eyes stared at her and gave a slight smile.

Deoksim was about to pass him but stopped hearing his voice.

Namjoon, "It wasn't your fault. Don't blame yourself.No one blames you. You freed her"

Deoksim widened her eyes. When she looked back,Namjoon had already left.

Deoksim took a last glance at her family and left. Just as she came outside,she saw Xiao Zhan,leaning against his car.

She walked to him.

"Where is Haru?"

Zhan,"He is still at Naru's grave. Let him be. He needs it"

Deoksim nodded.

"And you need your time too. Don't pretend to be strong"

Deoksim was pulled into his embrace. "You can still meet your family. Go to them once you are ready"

Deoksim nodded and sniffled.

6 MONTHS LATER

Jongsuk held Rawon's little hand and turned back to see the rest of the Kim brothers.

Taehyung, Jimin,Hoseok,Yoongi,Namjoon and Jin stood infront them.

"You all didn't have to come this far",Jongsuk said with a small smile.

Jin knelt down infront of Rawon and smiled. "How can we not?Our little nephew is leaving us today. We have to be here"

Rawon giggled when Jin tickled him.

The other five also knelt infront of him and smiled widely seeing Rawon's smile.

Jimin pulled Rawon to a tight hug and kissed his head. "Don't forget your Jimin uncle,little one. I'll come to see you"

Taehyung,"Rawon-ah, I'll bring you another big Teddy when I come there. Okay? Until then,play with the toys we bought you"

After their quick talk,Jongsuk took Rawon to his hands and kissed his cheek. "Say bye to uncles,son"

Rawon made a crying face,not wanting to say bye.

Jongsuk smiled sadly. "They'll come to see you soon baby. Now be a good boy. Hm?"

Rawon nodded and gave a little wave to his uncles.

"I don't want to let Rawon go",Taehyung mumbled.

Yoongi patted his back. "Rawon needs a new environment, Tae"

Jongsuk looked at his son's face. "...I don't want him to get involved in such a mess. His mother doesn't want him to chose the same path she chose. I too,think that he better stay away from this tragic past. He'll grow up like a normal boy. He shouldn't know about his mother's past"

Namjoon, "You know that he will eventually know it one day. You can't hide it from him forever. He will ask about his mother. He will try to find it"

Jongsuk, "....yeah"

Rawon's future is not clear yet. No one knows what holds in the future for him.

Jongsuk heaved a big sigh. "Then,we'll depart"

He bowed them and turned around to leave for his flight. They are leaving the country,leaving the tragic past behind them.

Rawon hugged his dad's neck and looked at his uncles with a pout.

"Unka", he mumbled. He still couldn't pronounce 'uncle' correctly.

Jongsuk looked back again. "Good bye Sol-ah,my love. I'll be waiting to meet you again. When that day comes,I promise you,I will never let you go. I love you"

"So,what happened next granny?",A 16 year old teen girl was crouching down next to an old lady who sells old items at the street.

The old lady smiled. "So,Rawon left the country with his dad. That's the end of the story"

The girl pouted and looked at the old items on the small table. She had thin rosy lips which looked so soft and delicate. Her hair was upto her shoulders and she was wearing a school uniform.

"That's so sad. I don't like what happened to Sol-ah and Jungkook. And Deoksim! Poor her! She must be blaming herself! I feel so sad for the rest of the Kim siblings! It's so tragic!", she whined and sniffled a little.

The old lady scoffed. "Why are you crying over a story?"

"But you said it's a real story!! How can I not cry, granny?! Sol-ah really existed!", The girl went more wild with her crying.

"Yes,but it happened a very very long time ago. They are all dead now",the old lady replied without a care.

"It's so unfair! They deserve a much more better ending! Like a happy ending in dramas!"

"..Everything doesn't end up the way we want,child"

The girl huffed. "But still! I hope Sol-ah reincarnate to have her happy ending"

The old lady paused and looked at her. "Hmm,that's better too. Right?"

"Yes!! She deserves a happy ending!"

"Alright alright little lady. You are too noisy", the old lady chuckled arranging her old objects.

"By the way granny, how do you know this story?", the girl asked trying to touch an old hairpin.

The granny slightly slapped her hand away. "I just know it"

The girl pouted. "Don't be rude granny! I've been coming here for two weeks to listen to your story. Why can't you let me touch these things?"

The old lady sighed as she is done with this girl. "I didn't ask you to come"

The girl was about to say something back but a sudden voice interrupted her.

"Oi,cannibal bitch!"

The girl looked back. A handsome boy stood at the other end of the street with an annoyed look. He was wearing the same school uniform as her. She frowned seeing him.

"Is that your brother?", the old lady asked.

The girl looked her and nodded. "Yeah,my twin brother. His name is Niki"

The boy lazily walked towards them."Kim Mihi!what the hell are you doing here?",He gave a small glance at the old lady but then focused on his sister.

"Why the hell are you here?!"

Niki scoffed. "I thought you were meeting a boy when you started disappearing right after school for two weeks. So,I followed you"

The girl glared at him. "So what if I'm meeting a boy?what are you gonna do?",she stuck out her tongue.

Niki sneered. "Don't think so high cannibal bitch. I'm just worrying about the poor boy. Not you"

Mihi looked at the old lady. "He's an idiot. So,tell me what happened after that?"

"I don't know. That's all I know"

Mihi pouted. "That's sad"

Niki looked at his sister's sad face. "What's wrong with you?what are you doing here anyways?"

"Nothing nothing. Let's go"

Mihi stood up. "Granny,we are going now. Don't stay here for too long. It's getting cold"

Mihi was about to leave but the old lady held her hand.

"...Sol-ah had already received her happy ending. Spend your second chance fruitfully, Sol-ah "

Mihi was confused. Before she could ask,Niki had already dragged her away.

Mihi again looked back, no one was there. "Where did she go?",she mumbled to herself.

"Hey,are you listening to me?!"

"Ouch! Don't pull my hair"

"Don't wander around like this again! And don't go around talking to strangers! Do you understand me?!"

Mihi stroked her head. "Fine fine. But granny was a good person!"

Niki, "I don't know anything like good or bad. She is a stranger. That's all I know. So,don't talk to anyone if I'm not around"

"Fine fine! Why are you so overprotective?", she asked tugging onto his sleeves.

Niki went silent for a second. "Because I don't want to let go of your hand", he mumbled unconsciously. He didn't even know why he uttered something like that. He just felt it right.

"Hm?what did you say?"

"Nothing. Let's go! Did you forget that we planned to watch a film today?! Hyungs are waiting for us. Let's go"

He held her hand tightly and ran.

After coming home,Mihi saw her rest of the six brothers arranging the living room for their movie night. It's their mini party.

Her eldest brother Heeseung was preparing some snacks while the second eldest one Jay,was sleeping on the couch. Then ,there comes the first twin couple, Jake and Sung-hoon,quarrelling with each other.

The next twin couple,Sunoo and Jungwon,doing mischief together.

"Hey look,Mihi and Niki have come!", Sunoo screamed.

"Mihi!your soon to be boyfriend is here!",Jake yelled pointing at a boy who was sitting on a single couch. He raised his head with a flustered look hearing Jake's remark. The boy's name was Kim Dong kyu. A handsome teenager.

Mihi's face took a crimson colour,seeing him.

Niki made a disgusted face and left.

Dong kyu approached Mihi hesitantly. Scratching his neck,he gave a shy smile.

"Hi,we meet again"

The End....
