Just For Them
Author's Note: Most of this section describes the mom's garden that she did 'just for them.' It provides a little more background on "Peanut" and her mom.
She didn't tell Taehyung that she created that special spot just for him to escape when he felt overwhelmed. The shelter under the dense canopy of the willow tree felt like a private little room filled with shade and peace. It warmed her heart to see that he had been enjoying it.
Only she and Namjoon knew where his little refuge in the garden was hidden; so far, it has remained a secret from the others. She had watched him enter her backyard at various times, a book in hand, retreating into the garden. Even a great leader needs a place to recharge. It filled her with lovely memories of her oldest son, who loved to escape with a good book.
She placed a small angel trinket each year in her youngest son's angel garden, bordered by Bridal Wreath. Her youngest, like Jimin, shared the same birth flower. Jimin reminded her so much of her youngest that sometimes, a small gesture from him made her heart ache just a little.
She was also having a small fountain created, featuring angles, one lifting the other in a ballet pose. This would be the centerpiece of the Angel Garden, with different statues in ballet poses forming a ring around it. Her youngest loved to dance, just like Jimin.
She had noticed that before dinner, Jungkook had headed out to the garden; she knew where he was going. Three outdoor workout equipment was installed in a shady part of her extensive garden.
Though they all would go there occasionally, Jungkook was there the most when he could. He said he loved working out in the fresh air in a secluded place that no one outside the members, your mom, and you knew about.
Scattered throughout her garden were little gnomes she found that looked like J Hope. She was thrilled when she found them, bought one of each style, and randomly placed them. She loved it when he would come across one he hadn't seen before.
She could hear his outburst of joy when he found one. They never stayed in the same place, and she would move them around to various spots to keep him looking. So far, he has found 16 of the 20 she placed.
She is standing there watching her boys as a breeze carries a hint of herbs from the little herb garden she planted for Jin. She smiles, remembering her oldest son loved to cook. She wishes they could have met. They would have been great friends.
She looks around and doesn't see Jin. She knows where he is just by the fresh scent of herbs. Every chance he gets, he is tending to the little herb garden.
She calls them, "Boys, remember to put aside any rocks you find."
She sets a little bucket down and starts to gather the ones they have already put into little piles near them.
She sighed and walked amongst the boys as they dug, pulled weeds, and planted while talking and laughing. Her heart feels full.
Your father used to help her in the garden on his days off. They would spend hours pulling weeds, planting, trimming, and then get lost in the garden. Sometimes, you wouldn't see them again till it was time to start dinner.
Once her little bucket is full of rocks, she walks deeper into the garden and steps into Yoongi's rock garden. She loves coming here the most. She likes listening to the water trickle over the rocks into the koi pond.
Some of the rocks she painted with dates she knew were special to Yoongi. She would randomly place them amongst those she did for her husband from when they were married till the day he died.
She pulls out a rock she had painted days ago from her pocket and looks at it joyfully. She takes a marker, and under where she wrote your name and Yoongi's, separated by a heart, she wrote today's date and placed it near the trickling waterfall.
She stops, pulls the koi food out of her pocket, and feeds them. Yoongi reminds her so much of her husband. Like Yoongi, people only saw the front he would put on when in public or at work. He had such passion for life, for her and his family. She sighs with lovely memories of her husband.
She understands Yoongi so well. She admits he has a special place in her heart out of all the boys. The fact that you are in love with Yoongi couldn't make her happier.
