"Today is his Father's death anniversary." He said, staring right into my eyes.

My eyeballs almost popped out of eyes after hearing that.

"What?!" I tried my best not to shout. His expression turned into a serious one.

"I thought he would have told you.." He said, looking down.

"Nah, he did not tell me anything about it," I replied, feeling bad. I shocked to the fact he did not even give me a clue about it.

"I can't tell you much, but his dad died in a car accident two years ago and it affected him a lot... Like a lott!! He did not even talk to anyone for a week after it happened. Since then he became cold and would be by himself always." He completed.

I was star-struck. I was taken aback after hearing that.

"And... what about his mom?" I was curious why he did not pick her phone call up that day.

"His mom... She seems to be kind but for some reason, he hates it when we talk about here.." He said.

"Ohh.." I said in reply.

"Where is he now?" I asked.

"His parents are in Busan, so he must have gone there..."' He said.

"Busan?" I shot my head up. I met him at the bus stop while I ran away from my aunt's place the other day. And.. when I asked him he told me he came to visit his friend.. and clearly, he was crying that day...

"Hmm.." He looked up.

"Why?" He added.

"Huh? Nothing... I have relatives who live there..." I said trying to act normal.  

"Ohh.." Nodded his head and went back to eating.

The rest of the time I zoned out. I was trying to connect dots and lost in my thoughts. I did not pay attention to what he was talking about.

"Common let's get back to the class! The bell can ring anytime soon." He said interrupting my zoning out session.

"Umm.. yeah! Let's go." I said shaking my head while grabbing my food tray.

~

The last bell rang and everyone started leaving the classroom. I could not pay attention to what the teacher was saying, I just zoned out the most of the time thinking how Jimin is doing.

I was heading out of the school gate when Hoseok did the same thing- he held my hand from the behind. I sign and

"You seem tired... Do you wanna go get something to drink?" He asked, slightly swinging our hands in the air.

I was not in the mood to hang out but I have to agree to it cause... so, I have to bear this till Friday.

"Yeah sure.." I said trying to act cheerful.

'Let's go.." He started walking faster.

~

 I came home, I was not in the mood to hang out... After a drink, I told him that I am sleepy and he walked me home.

I got in and jumped to lie on my bed after throwing my bag on my study table. I guess the thing about Jimin is affecting me a lot cause even I was in the same condition four months ago when mom left me and I know how it feels when your loved one leaves you like that- suddenly when you are not expecting it.

I was lying on my bed like that for an hour and I could not resist more I took out my phone-

ME
Hey... are you okay?
Hosek told me today is that day...
Where are you now?

~

 It was useless... It has been an hour or more and he did not reply... I just changed to normal clothes and headed out to clear my mind.

And... somehow I ended up standing in front of our hideout.

'If I have come in, let's go in' I thought.

I jumped over the fence and landed on my butt.

"Ouch" I mourn in pain. I slowly walk in dusting my pants and saw someone sitting on the edge of the lake.

It was obvious it was Jimin... I quietly walked and sat beside him without saying a word.

"Y/n?! Why are you here?" He said weakly, his eyes were red swollen and his voice was hoarse. I could tell he was crying for a long time.

"I texted you and you did not seem to reply and my gut feeling led me here," I replied looking at him.

"Oh... But can you leave me alone? I am not in the mood to talk to anyone now." He said blankly.

"Nah... I am not doing that." I said firmly.

He was taken back by my reply. It seemed like he did not expect that.

"Yah! I did not introduce this place to you so that you can invade my privacy." I could feel anger in his voice.

"I don't care! I don't care if you are going to yell at me like that, I AM NOT LEAVING!" I replied.

"Alright then, you can stay I am leaving." He replied standing up.

I quickly got up and held his wrist
"Can't you talk instead of running away from people?" I said calmly.

"Why should I do that? God, why does everyone pretend as they care about me when they really don't give a shit?!" He yelled pulling his hand away from the grip. I was dumbfounded.

"Jimin! Do you see me like that?! I told you everything about myself so that you would feel comfortable talking about yourself but you don't bother to tell me your side of the story!" I yelled back.

"Y-y/n..." He said not able to believe his ears.

"Can't you see I am trying so hard to get to know you and help you? It's not healthy to keep everything to yourself... If shit happens you should talk to people and let them help you. And when you don't do that... This happens" I held his wrist up and pointed his cuts while saying the last two words.

"Y/n... I..." His voice cracked. His eyes started to become cloudy.

"You know I really meant it when I said I am here for you..." I said slowly pulling him into my embrace.

His sobs started getting heavier as he clutched my T-shirt tighter. He really let all of it out.

After a while, he calmed down and let him take his time to speak...

"So..." He started talking. "It all started two years ago when I visited Busan for my summer vacations... Mom and Dad used to fight every day. Both of them use to yell at eachother."

"Dad used to tell mom that she was getting very close to one of her male collogues. And Mom used to yell back that dad did not tust her enough! One day it got out of hand, Dad could not take it anymore he walked out of the house out of anger... I was not home, I was returning home and I saw Dad walking with his head down and..." He paused.

"And?"

"And he did not watch where he was going and he got into a traffic accident... A car rode over him... It.. smashed his head into pieces and his body was covered in blood." A tear rolled down my cheek.

"Oh my gosh!" I said as I cover my mouth with my hands.

"It just happened... like that... just before my eyes... and... I could not do anything..." He said sobbing harder. I quickly wrapped my arm around his neck and pulled him closer.

"It's okay... It's not your fault.." I said crying with him and rubbing his back.

"And that was not all... After a month or two I was worried about Mom so I wanted to give her a surprise visit so I showed up at my parent's house without informing her and turned out she had someone over... I still remember seeing her being all cuddly with that colleague whom dad had mentioned. I was star struck seeing the sight. I could not believe my eyes... I mean how could she do that to dad." He said the last part in frustration.

I realized how strong he was that he kept all of it inside and go on every day. It would have been hell for him. How can his mom do such a thing!

"You never asked your mom why did she do such a thing?" I asked him.

"If I ask her anything about it she would say she started growing feelings for him after dad died... and she would say she needed someone to lean on... And start talkimg about how hard it is for her..." He said in Hoarse voice.

"You know I still have nightmares of the day dad died... It is really horrifying..." He said gripping me tight.

"So, that day at my house-"  "Yes, it was the same dream..." I was astounded.

"Jimin, you know what you really are strong!" I said gripping him tighter.

We were like that for some minutes and later he pulled back.

Now the awkward silence starts...

"Do-do you wanna maybe... go to get banana milk?" I said in an awkward tone.

"Yup, sure!" He said getting up. "I was actually going to the same thing.

~In the convenience store~

We were sitting in our usual seat and drinking banana milk while enjoying the view. It suddenly hit me

"So, did you meet your mother today?"
