Not long after, Jimin went over to the cemetery where Jungkook was buried. His grave had already been sealed. He stood there looking at it for what seemed like eternity while Taehyung stood a few meters away, worried for him. He wondered what could be going through his mind.

Jimin could no longer cry. It seemed he had lost so much energy. Even crying seemed to be a burden. So much had happened in just a short period of time. His father was locked up in jail, his brother had been murdered by Yoongi, the man he had once been in love with. Someone he had thought he would marry one day. Someone he had believed to be the kindest soul in the world. How could a human being change so much?

Jeong Hana, he had to see her at least. Though, she had been terrible to him, he couldn't ignore her. She must be going through hell at the moment.

Taehyung suddenly came up to him. "Are you feeling better?"

Jimin nodded. "Yeah but I want to see Jeong Hana"

Taehyung sighed. "You sure? That woman hates you. Probably more so now that her only son is dead"

"Still..."

Taehyung finally gave in. "Okay fine but I'll come with you okay? I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone with that woman"

Jimin smiled at him then watched as Taehyung looked towards Jungkook's grave. Jimin knew Taehyung was trying to act tough in front of him but he knew deep inside, Jungkook's death had devastated him. He used to love the man so for that reason alone hearing this tragic news must have hurt.

"Does it hurt?" Jimin asked.

Taehyung nodded and smiled bitterly. Jimin took a deep breath. "I'd like to believe Jungkook felt remorse at the last moment. In fact, I'm sure of it"

He looked at the latter who held his hand in his stroking it gently.

"I love you" Taehyung whispered.

"I know. I love you too"

After placing red roses on top of Jungkook's grave, they turned and left the cemetery. From there, they headed to Jeong Hana. They met the family driver Wang Joon in front of the house. Jimin stared at him for a while thinking to himself. He hadn't noticed it before but this man seemed to be too close to his step mom. He was always around her. Jimin concluded it may be because they had known each other long before she married his father so Jimin didn't think too much on it but now, he felt a bit suspicious while looking at the man.

"Sorry but Hana isn't ready to see anyone at the moment."

Hana? Since when did he start calling his step Mom by her name? Taehyung's eye brow slightly shifted upwards. It seemed he too found the whole situation odd.

Jimin rolled his eyes.

"Last I remember, I didn't need permission to enter into my own father's house" He frowned and pushed his way through followed closely by Taehyung.

Wang Joon went after them but they had already seen Jeong Hana sitting on the living room couch, a bottle of alcohol in her hands. Her eyes dimmed as soon as she laid her eyes on Jimin. Soft cackling followed and she gulped a large amount of alcohol.

"So you finally woke up!"

She drew a deep breath swallowing more alcohol.

"How does it feel? You must feel happy to know your brother is dead?" She dragged on. Slowly, she stood up from the couch.

"It must delight you so much. Now, you have no competition. Everything is all yours!" She shouted.

"Mother I..."

She frowned"Who's your mother? Your stupid mother has long died. You should have joined her. Not my poor Kookie"

"I thought you would have died. That would have made my suffering worthwhile but here you are, alive and kicking."

She let out a horrid laughter. "You must be here to watch my misfortune. Happy to see me so miserable!"

"Don't pretend you self entitled brat!"

Wang Joon reached out to her immediately

"Please stop. You've had too much to drink"

"Leave me alone!" Jeong Hana screamed. She glared fiercely at Jimin. "It's all your fault. You're the reason why our family has crumbled to pieces!"

She pointed at him. "You are the only one who benefited from all these chaos"

Jeong Hana's words hit deep and Jimin found tears filling his eyes. Taehyung couldn't take the nasty comments spewing out from the woman's mouth so he grabbed Jimin's hand.

"Let's go!" He whispered.

Jeong Hana wailed and fell to the ground, her dress sweeping the floor. "My poor baby!"

"You have no idea how I felt when i saw his body. You have no idea the pain a mother feels at loosing her own child"

"It's your fault Hana!" Jimin suddenly blurted out causing everyone to freeze. He was shooting layers out of his eyes, his feet clenched tightly.

"I can't take your self blaming attitude anymore acting like you're the victim in the whole situation looking for someone else to blame when the major cause for Jungkook's tragic demise is you"

"You forced us to hate each other, turned us into rivals just to outdo each other. If you had been a better parent, you would have taught Jungkook right from wrong. He was naturally a good kid but you brainwashed him and made him become someone else"

"You never reprimanded him for his excessive behavior. He drank, slept around. You knew about all these but you kept quiet claiming that he was showing off his sexual prowess"

He scoffed. "See where all that got him"

Jimin started to scream. "It was all your fault!all your fault. All the bad things we both went through, you were the root cause of it all. You deserve to suffer a hundred times more than what you're suffering"

He broke down in tears and now, it was Taehyung's turn to comfort him. He held Jimin in his arms while Jeong Hana looked on dazed.

"Get out! Get out of this house! You have said all that you wanted to say. You must be satisfied. Leave! I never want to set my eyes on you again" The woman whispered.

Taehyung suddenly snickered.
"Seems you still haven't heard. This house has become government property. They found substantial evidence of money laundering against Mr Park so they'll be coming any time from now to lock the house"

He smiled. "But since Jimin now has a lot of money and being the only surviving heir of this family, he can actually save this home and the company from going under"

Taehyung shook his head. "But unfortunately, you just messed with him so..."

Jeong Hana looked completely drained of all life. She eyed Jimin, her eyes still stubbornly determined.

"I'd rather eat dirt than kneel to him" she slurred.

Jimin took a heavy breath. "Then I'm sure you'll have no problem living on the streets"

He nudged Taehyung. "Let's go. I can't bear to be here another second"

Without another word, they left. Jeong Hana let out a piercing scream nearly damaging Wang Joon's eardrums.

"That idiot! Now he thinks he is better than me!"

"How dare he!"

Wang Joon pulled her up from the ground. "Hana, now's not the time to think about Jimin. You heard him. We have nothing left here anymore. Our best option is to flee before anyone links us to Mr Park's crimes"

"Remember we have been the ones feeding him with evil advices, linking him with underground connections, you even planted the idea in his head for the money laundering and as for the killings, let's not go there"

"You are as much to blame in this whole ordeal as he is. You were the brain, he the muscle"

"I wonder why he still hasn't ratted me out" Jeong Hana whispered.

"He still probably believes you'll get him out"

"Me! When I was the one who ratted him out in the first place after knowing we would definitely loose the case. I couldn't bear living one more day with that man"

She nodded her head. "You're right. We have nothing left here anymore so we leave tonight"

*******

When Jimin and Taehyung returned to the house, Taehyung gently led him to the couch and carefully took out his coat and shoes for him. Jimin smiled shyly.

"You don't have to"

"You've been through so much babe. I just want to see you smile"

"That's going to be hard"

"Still I'm going to try"

A small smile appeared on his face. Thankfully, there was no one else around. Yeontan and Nanny Jihye had taken Joy out on a walk on her stroller so they could mess around as much as they wanted.

Taehyung wandered into the mini bar and brought out a bottle of champagne and two glass cups. Jimin chuckled when he saw him walking over to him.

"Really? Are you trying to get me drunk in the middle of the day?"

His lips curved into a suspicious smile. "What is your aim Mr Kim"

Taehyung paused for a while. "I really wasn't thinking about that but now that you hinted about it..."

Jimin burst into laughter. "Don't even think about it buddy"

Taehyung nodded. "We're in mourning" He came closer to Jimin and looked into his face. "But at least, you're smiling"

Jimin blushed. Taehyung poured them both champagne which they drank. After seeing Jimin was in a more relaxing mood, he went over to the stereo player and put on a random music.

"What are you doing?" Jimin groaned but he had a smile on his lips.

"Come on!" Taehyung said stretching his hand to him. Jimin sighed as Taehyung grabbed his hand. Later he drew him by his waist and held his hand. Before long, they found themselves slow dancing. Jimin giggled.

"Are you feeling happy?" Taehyung whispered.

"Don't know" Jimin whispered laying his head on Taehyung's shoulder.

"Don't worry. Happy days will come. This will pass"

"I hope so" Jimin whispered. He wrapped his arms around Taehyung's neck and pressed himself closer to him sighing contentedly as music played in the background.

***********
Jimin was lying on Taehyung's chest deep in sleep when the latter's voice woke him up. Taehyung had sat up on the bed so he too had to do the same. He was speaking to Jin on the phone.

"Hyung, it's way past midnight. What's wrong?"

There was silence before Taehyung yelled.

"What?"

Jimin shook due to the sound of Taehyung's voice.

"What happened?"

"Oh... alright I'll talk to you later." Taehyung whispered. He looked shocked. He turned to Jimin and bit his lips for a minute.

"Taehyung, what's wrong?"

"Jeong Hana. She and your driver was shot to death this evening"

Jimin thought he heard wrong "What?"

Taehyung continued looking more shocked "The person who shot them was your father"
