Nobody uttered a single word on their way to the airport . SeokJin remained distant , not even bothering to look at anyone's eyes . It's like he had shut himself infront of the whole world .

Yukio was held hostage by the police along with Je Deok who surrendered himself for his crimes . Somehow , Jin knew that everything started becouse of Je Seok . The trials was postponed and will be continuing when Jin regains his voice.

Jin's belongings which the doctor brought the other day actually was meant to be given for Hoseok . It consisted of a pendrive along with a note which Jin planned to give him at the encore stage but it never happened . Hope read the note which seems like an apology note for his loss of mixtape.

Hoseok shook his head in disbelief and inserted the pendrive in his device . The rapper burst out in tears when he realised that it was his mixtape which was deleted by the company . He was forver thankful to the older for returning his work back to him . It meant a lot to him .

Jin went to the company one day and threatened the agency to give back Hoseok's work . Being as obedient as a child to the mother, they returned it and God knows how they agreed .

SeokJin no longer wore single layered clothes when he goes outside . He would wear multiple layers , a cap and a mask to cover his face . The members badly wants to stick beside him but was retained by guilt and remorse .

The destination to airport was reached and the members got down the SUV one by one . Jin was the last to get off with his manager behind him to hold his luggage since the latter's palms were still healing .

This time no one left him behind and waited for their eldest . The cameras of reporters , journalist and fans which were once flashing to capture the moment lowered down showing respect for the singer .

As they walked forward , not even a single person including the guard approached them . Jin was in the middle while the others trailer on the front and back of him . He didn't carry the cheerful aura that he once did . Kim SeokJin has now become the cold person which once again sparked his title ' Ice Prince ' .

This was the first time since their debut that everyone's respecting the distance between them and they appreciated it .

The plane to Korea took off , leaving from Europe which now contained a painful and haunting memory . Everything that had happened before a few days flashed before their eyes as they left to their native country .

The dorm no longer held the chaotic atmosphere . It had become lifeless . The members never spoke with each other except for calling to eat and work related things .

Meanwhile , Jin locked himself in his room from the day they had reached here . He didn't bother to look at anyone who came to his room to give him his necessities .

Either he will be in corner of the room with his knees on the chest and his head lowered or he will be staring sadly at his mother's pictures . The days went like it was on an auto pilot taking the members more and more into a depressed state .

His brother came over to the doors to inform that his mother's funeral would take place in the coming weekend . Though he got hurt by his brother's state , he tried his best to cheer him up which resulted in nothing .

Finally , the day of funeral came and the members were getting ready for it . SeokJung , his wife and children, his father , few of their relatives and Bangtan were the only people who were invited to the funeral .

Her funeral was secretly kept from the eagle eyes of the media who were lurking around the members recently .

They were dressed in traditional hanbok considering that the funeral is going to take place in Korean style .

Hoseok went to check Jin and saw him sitting on the edge of his bed as his hands had a photo of his mother. Hobi sighed sadly and held the older tightly by his shoulder.

" I know it's difficult when you lose your loved ones , maybe this event will be a closure for you hyung "

He said and sighed when he saw Jin didn't even budge from his previous position.

" Yeah , I know that I will not feel the same feeling as you but she was like our Eomma too . She took care of us all like her own sons- "

Hobi broke out in silent tears with little gasps . He wiped his tears harshly and again looked at the older , " I know we were all at fault , I know we did wrong with you and we deeply regret it .

Even I - I have also pushed you away . I am sorry for that , I wanted to approach you since the things escalated but I was too scared to approach you . I am sorry for being a coward hyung "

Hobi buried his face in Jin's neck and let out soft gasps while the latter stayed at the same position . Taehyung who was about to call them to leave for the funeral , stood behind the door and clutched the hand to his mouth thus silencing his cries .

Tae took a deep breath and went inside the room , " Hyungs , it's time that we should leave "

At the funeral , SeokJin was in such a daze that he is barely aware on what is happening around him . His eyes focused his mother's photo where she is smiling beautifully .

He realised that his mother is no longer in the world to guide him when he heard his brother delivering Euology to the people present in the funeral room .

From that moment , every second was becoming more and more painful for him and he left silently from the occasion without anyone noticing him.

He went to the top floor and was relieved to see that the sun almost crossed the horison taking it's sunlight with it . He leaned on the railings , finding solace within the lonely environment .

He looked at his palms and slowly removed the bandage from his palms . His palms which were heavily bruised with cuts now looked like it hadn't been injured at the first place .

The absence of sunlight cast a shadow and forbading glow to his face , illuminating a path to his new destiny .......

Immortality
