Miranda sighed as she went through the pages of her guide books. All the events were tiring her out. She really didn't want to meet her mother. She hated her and it even angered her to think that she was actually her child.

What worried her the most was the next step that Saia might take. That darned dead thing was eating her out. It wasn't some regular spirit she was dealing with. Since she had got her powers after touching her , she was doubtful if she would be able to do anything about it. But what's wrong with trying her best?

She was afterall one of the reasons why Jimin received no justice.

" I can't believe you are thinking of only about Saia. " muttered a spirit that was lying on her bed.

" What should I think about then ? There isn't anything more I would divert my attention to." she answered without looking it.

" Pst.... It's a wonder how you are that calm beside the ' Park Jimin'.Haven't you seem other ladies dying for his attention? " continued the annoying female voice.

" I don't have any romantic interest in him. "

" Says the one who's childhood crush was Park Jimin. Talk about being weird. "

" Hey you -" cried Miranda and looked at the spiritual entity.

" Pft .... Look at you being all worked up. "

" How - how do you know that?"

" C'mon dude. I worked in the garden. I saw how much you blushed seeing that kid. "

" What was your name?"

" What's the use? You won't recognise me anyway.... But since you asked I am Coraline, the head gardener."

(A/n : I couldn't help but make a cameo. Lol. You can go ahead and kill me.🤭😭🤚)

" Aunty - oh my god..... When did you die? I mean how?"

" Gosh..... Don't bother. It's just that I was kicked out by Jimin's father. He fired me as soon as I turned sixty. I wasn't doing my job properly according to him. My children abandoned me and I had to roam around the town as a beggar. I died due to extreme cold weather after living on the streets."

" I am sorry."

" What are you sorry for child? Pst..... It's the fate of a poor woman who couldn't pull herself to survive properly. I couldn't teach my children manners which would make them compassionate. They stole all the money I had earned all those years after working really hard."

" Do you have any last wishes that you want me to fulfill? I can help you out with that."

" No. I don't have any wishes darling. Just give me some food to eat and a warm blanket so that I can break all the connections from this world. It's been a really long life. "

Miranda nodded her head.

When she saw the once known gardener eating her food, her expression of gratitude and desperation made her feel several things all at once. She had always been nice to her. It was her who once explained her to not tear flowers without reasons.

Plants felt pain too when their children , flowers and leaves are taken away from them.

Did her mother love her ? Was she capable of loving her? She felt betrayed all this time.

Miranda was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice that Aunt Coraline had completed eating her meal.

" I can go now with peace. " smiled aunt as she started to fade with the blanket wrapped around her shoulders lovingly.

" I hope we meet again in another life. "

" I would love to. Make sure to help Jimin out. Don't ignore your feelings too. I wish you all the best. You can do it!"

And with a poof she disappeared forever leaving Miranda all alone again. Miranda wiped her tears and went back to her work. Her only priority was now Saia. She hoped that Jimin remained safe until she figured a way out.
