Note: This chapter will contain majority of explanations of back stories, and it'll also contain long statements and flashbacks.

So, for now, there'll be not much lovey-dovey moments and only unspoken truths that are about to unfold in this time around to understand the whole story.

Thank you and enjoy!

"Best...friend?" You repeated the specific term that caught your attention, curious all of a sudden after having a bite of ramen.

"I knew this is going to be more confusing than ever for you," Mrs.Jeon muttered as she then fully sip strands of noodles that she took with her chopsticks.

"N-No. I'm just...surprised," You responded, trying to avoid a misunderstanding.

"Then, I shall proceed..." She stated, preparing herself for an explanation.

"She's...the only royalty that I've ever become true friends with."

*Flashback*

Many years ago

"Hi," Mrs.Jeon greeted cheerfully as she went towards the girl's table where she's seating at, which Mrs.Jeon began to sit in front of her with a genuine smile.

"Oh, hello..." The girl said shyly.

"No need to be shy," Mrs.Jeon said, still showing her friendly vibe.

"Name's (Mrs.Jeon's name)."

She introduced, letting out a hand for a handshake, while Taehyung's mother stared at her for a moment in surprise.

"(Taehyung's mother's name)..." She replied back, stuttering as her cheeks started tainting faint pink.

*End*

"I would sometimes encounter royalties that are, too narcissistic with themselves, some that are just plain assholes, and such. There are some that are actually nice but, doesn't have the time nor interest to continue 'unimportant' relationships..." She paused along the way, trying to remember the continuation for a moment.

"She's...really different. Once you get to know her better, she would come up to me and became truly interested in things that I've been doing, even in such the littlest of things."

She stated, happily remembering those moments.

"It feels like...that she really care about me. Like a true friend," She added, taking another bite from her ramen.

"We've been the best of friends as we hang out a lot. But as we grow older and done with college, I decided to head to Japan to find a good job. With that, it made me sad that I'd have to leave her since she's a royal that has her own duties here. But she fully understood and we said our farewells in good terms," She explained, turning a little sad again.

"After a year, I didn't get to talk nor get to have a word with her anymore, which made me really worried so I came back..." She stopped for a bit, seeming that she realized something depressing.

"But that was the time...when she had passed away."

The atmosphere then turned into awkward silence. You, already know that Taehyung's mother had passed away, decided to be silent for now, giving her time to feel a little bit better.

"I knew when I went back to my former apartment and check my mail, where I saw a fancy thin box fit for letter envelopes."

She continued.

"I saw two letters, then start reading mine..."

To my bestest friend,

Hello~ It's been a long time that we haven't seen nor been in contact with each other anymore. Have you found a job? If so, my best regards for you.

I didn't get to have the time to even have a single call to you. To tell you the truth, my illness has worsened and that I've been staying in the hospital from a few days to all day. So all that I've doing during those days are taking numerous tablets, taking treatments, and just stay at my hospital bed to rest for most of the time.

I know I don't have much time left to live. Those helpful yet sufferable medicines won't be able to make me live any much longer. So I took this moment to tell you all about what happened.

Mrs.Jeon then stopped for a moment, trying to hold onto her sadness as she then slowly flip the other side of the letter to continue reading the continuation of it.

I finally got married! Sorry I didn't get to tell you. But I've never felt so happy that I'm going to have a healthy baby soon!

Mrs.Jeon smiled a bit when she imagined how happy her best friend felt when she wrote it and proceeded reading.

I don't have a name for him or her yet and I obviously don't know what gender my baby might be, since I want it to be a surprise! But hopefully, I'll get to name him or her when he or she is ready to come out. I can't wait!

Mrs.Jeon was still reading in full interest, glad that she get to know what's up but worried at the same time.

But, if the illness got the best of me. I hope that my baby will live happily at least. I love my baby so much, even if I might not be able to carry him/her within my arms...

With that, here's my last message if I were to be gone.

I will always remember the times we've spent together and cherish it forever even in my eternal sleep. You gave me light to my darkness and showed me true happiness in this scary yet exciting world. Also...

I hope you'll remember, that I love you and that I'll always see you as the bestest friend sent by a miracle.

Truly Yours,
(Taehyung's mother's name)

P.S. The other letter in the box, if my baby ever gets to live and became a fine young adult, I would like to request my best of friend to deliver the other letter dedicated to him (I would like you to meet my future beautiful/handsome kid someday)

"I began to tear up all night as I promised to someday do her final request.." She then ended her story of one of her past.

"I'm sorry for hearing all this, Mrs.Jeon," You apologized.

"N-No. I'm...quite glad that I could finally let out all my stress and regrets for a bit to someone," She replied as she heaved out a sigh of relief.

"Well...about Jungkook," You mentioned, which caught her attention.

"Your son...became a wonderful person growing up, Mrs.Jeon. Although he is quite a handful sometimes," You stated, somehow trying to get her to feel much better.

"Of course. I could imagine it on how fine my son has already become," She said happily and proudly, which had got her out of her sadness successfully for now.

"Don't you want to visit him?" You questioned, trying to suggest it to her.

"M-Me? Nonsense...and it's too late now to go back after what I've done," She answered, stuttering in hesitance.

"That's not true," You denied, making her look at you in surprise.

"He...misses you. So much. He would sometimes tell me about you and that he still accepted you as his mother," You explained, actually telling the truth to her.

"So, I hope...you could give it a chance to see him? Please?" You asked, somehow begging her to do so sincerely.

She then softly began to laugh.

"What-"

"Oh, darling. Quite polite too if I should say so myself," She interrupted, seeming amused by your words.

"Well... I'll try. But if it doesn't go well, that'll be the moment for me to leave," She added as she had a look of a passionate and determined woman.

You then paused for a moment, somehow surprised at her response, then soon after gave out a satisfied smile.

"Deal."
