"Hi," Taehyung said, giving me a soft smile. "How are you doing?"

I nodded. "I'm good, and you?"

"I'm doing fine, just managing my business and stuff."

He placed the flowers on Rena's resting place and stood beside me, gazing up at the sky in deep thoughts.

"I just want to say," I spoke, grabbing his attention, "that you shouldn't blame yourself for her fate and stay strong for both her and yourself... I know that she wouldn't want to see you suffering."

He nodded slowly. "Thank you, Lyn."

After standing there for a while in silence, he turned to me. "I'll drive you home," he offered.

We both walked to his car and got inside before driving to my house.

"Um," he started and I looked over to him, "how's Jimin?"

My smile grew as I said, "He's doing great. He opened a dance academy and currently works there as a teacher."

With a nod, he chuckled, "He finally pursued dancing, huh?"

After chatting throughout the ride, we arrived at my home and he got out of his car to walk me to the door.

It suddenly opened from the inside, and Jimin came out, surprised to see me.

"Lyn," he exclaimed. "I was going to get you after changing my clothes."

I chuckled seeing his disoriented state, only half of his shirt buttons done, his hair messy and his pants almost unbuckled.

"You silly, why are you going out looking like this?" I fixed his clothes and looked back to the man who was snickering behind me when I was done.

"Taehyung brought me home."

Jimin's eyes darted to him and they stared at each other for a moment before Taehyung coughed.

"Long time no see," he whispered softly, facing down.

"Yeah," Jimin let out, scratching his nape.

The awkward silence came back and I wasn't having it.

"Oh, for fuck's sake," I groaned in annoyance, making them look at me with round eyes. "Go away and pour your hearts out, you awkward boys." I shooed them.

"Beer night?" Taehyung offers after chuckling.

"Uh," Jimin stammered and I pushed him towards Taehyung.

"Go, you idiot."

Taehyung flung his arm around Jimin's shoulders and they both walked away as my boyfriend yelled, "I'll be back before midnight!"

"It's fine," I yelled back. "You can take however long you want. Just make up with each other, okay?"

He giggled before screaming, "I love you!" and they both drove away in Taehyung's car.

With a huge grin, I walked inside home and took off my shoes before going to our bedroom. After changing my clothes and washing up, I was organizing my papers until my eyes fell on the envelope that uncle gave me.

Searching my drawers, I took out Rena's envelope and placed it beside my uncle's.

Taking a deep breath, I opened Rena's first and started reading her letter.

Dear sweet little Evelyn,

I know this is really cheesy, but I want to tell you how much I love you.

I sucked in a breath.

The day our parents introduced us to each other, I actually thought you were very tomboyish and rude.

I chuckled. "What?"

I thought that we would never get along with each other, but what happened? You became my sister that I love more than any food and any anime ever.

"This nerd..." My eyes became blurry with tears.

You actually turned out to be the sweetest, loveliest and the most caring person I had ever met. We shared our hopes and dreams, happiness and sadness, every little beautiful moment of our lives and created many many memorable moments together.

I'm sorry for being so hard on you all the time whenever you would run around for your little 'research' but I was like that because I was worried about your wellbeing.

I'm sorry for leaving you this early before we could introduce our children to each other and repeat history.

My tears streamed down my face.

And about the bet, I'm sure that you won, since you're getting married to your dear reaper. Am I right? Hihihi

"This girl, I swear..."

I hope you two work it out and do get married and have your happily ever after, Lyn. I'll be rooting for you.

Thank you for being in my life.

I love you so so much.

Love forever,
Rena

I sniffled and rubbed my eyes before neatly folding the letter and putting it back inside the envelope. Taking my uncle's, I opened the letter and started reading it.

My dear child Evelyn,

I hope you're living happily with Jimin.

The authorities have agreed to let you two live normally but they wanted me to pay for what I did, so I'm sorry to say that I can't see you again.

"Uncle..."

I'll be fine, so don't worry about me, my dear. I'm sorry for not knowing that your life was in danger before... That's the only thing I painfully regret.

If it's for your happiness, I would receive any punishment and do anything they tell me to.

Honestly, it's baffling how you fell in love with someone who puts your life in danger... But I'm sure it had something to do with your life as a soul reaper.

Were you surprised to hear that?

Your name was Eliza and you were a very odd reaper who seemed to possess human qualities, not to mention, saving humans instead of bringing in their souls.

Your heart was pure.

Now that you're a real human, I hope you live happily with your beloved and experience life in its truest form.

With love,
Your uncle

My sobs grew louder and I clutched the letter against my heart, letting my tears flow.

If I could turn back time, I would have spent more time with them and told them how much I loved them again and again.

Washing my face and calming down, I prepared for bed and changed into my pajamas.

The sound of the main door opening reached my ears and I walked downstairs in confusion.

I widened my eyes when I saw Jimin smiling at me while taking off his shoes.

"I'm home," he chimed.

"I thought you were going to come home late," I mused, raising an eyebrow.

He hugged me all of a sudden and whispered, "You cried."

My breath got stuck in my throat.

"How was I supposed to let you sleep alone after you cried this much?" He pulled back to gaze into my eyes while holding my face. "I would never do that."

My heart trembled and I nodded slowly, closing my eyes as he leaned in to plant kisses on them before claiming my lips.

Wrapping my arms around his neck, I pulled him closer to deepen the kiss and get lost in it.

His warmth was easing my sobs and his kisses were healing my heart.

He broke the kiss and lovingly whispered, "I'll make you feel better," before lifting me up with our lips interlocked and walking up the stairs to our bedroom.
