It was a fine morning when Eun Ae got up. She straightened her back after getting up from the bed. She tied her hairs into pony and brushed her teeth. After taking a bath and wearing her dress she made her way out to make breakfast. She spare a glance at the door of Jungkook's room but it was closed. She wanted to knock it but instead she decided to make breakfast and then wake him.

She made her way towards the kitchen and her eyes widened in shock.

"Jungkook you woke up so early today?" she asked him who was busy cupping his coffee mug as if trying to get enough warmth from it. He raised his head to look at her. Eun Ae wasn't able to digest the fact that the person who was never early was sitting infront of her wearing his suit and he even made a coffee for himself. Also she noticed something weird today, his eyes were blank, face sulked, his stare was blunt. He did not uttered a word instead he sighed and sip his coffee. Eun Ae felt little weird she knew something was wrong with the boy. He wasn't the same Jungkook, the one who would wake up late, who would bicker on small things, who would steal her breakfast and would complain how bad she is at cooking.

Eun Ae did not said anything instead she made her way towards the counter. Something was wrong today and she wondered what?

"Jungkook i am making om-"

"Make for yourself Eun Ae. I am not going to eat" he interrupted and her mouth went agape seeing how cold he was behaving.

'Did something happened yesterday?' She thought, she knew he went to some party yesterday and came home late not with a girl though. Eun Ae took a last glance at him and started doing her work as she was already late for office.

The door bell rang and Jungkook without taking anytime walked outside. When he was back he had a brown paper bag in his hand.

Her eyes went towards the bag as she sat on the chair of the dining table. Eun Ae noticed it was a box inside that bag, a box which is used to store food items specially snacks. Jungkook opened the box only to reveal samgak-gimbap. Jungkook smiled before taking one from the box and this was the first time she saw him smiling today.

"Jungkook are you gonna eat that for breakfast?" she asked the man who was staring at the snack as if it was the last one left in this whole world.

"Yes and if you are going to ask for one then let me tell you i am not going to give you" the man spat and she rolled her eyes at him.

"As if i am dying to eat that" she scoffed.

Though Eun Ae was eating her own breakfast her eyes never left the man who was smiling in a silly way while eating that.

She got up from the seat after finishing her breakfast.

"Okay so i am going to get ready let's go" she was about to leave but was stopped by him.

"Eun Ae i am not going to office today. You can take a cab" he said.

"What? Why? I mean...what happened are you sick?" her tone showed concern and she thought that the reason for his weird behaviour must be his sickness.

"No..i have to go somewhere" this was the only sentence he said before walking away.

"Why is he acting this way? Is he okay?" she mumbled.

--

She reached the office without him. She will not deny the fact that she was already missing Jungkook. Going with him to office and then back home was her habit and she was so use to it as she thought.

She made her way towards the elevator and saw few staff members standing. They were mostly couples. Eun Ae cringed seeing them being cheesy.

"Geez why can't they just get a room?" she threw a disgusted look at them and pressed the button of the elevator. The elevator dinged and it opened. Eun Ae made her way out towards her cabin. She felt so lonely today because Jungkook wasn't there with her to nag about her dress, who would tease her the whole time. She twisted the knob of her cabin and she was shock to see Rhea waiting for her in her cabin.

"Ahh.. unnie you are here?" she asked the girl who was busy reading newspaper. She raised her head and grinned at her.

"Nothing i was just passing by and thought of seeing you" she said as Eun Ae sat beside her.

"Unnie actually i took a cab as Jungkook did not wanted to come today"

"Okay. That's good. By the way tell me what is your plan for today?" the elder girl wiggled her eyebrows at her. Eun Ae wondered why she asked that.

"Why unnie? what is today?"

"Yah don't tell me you don't know that today is Valentine's' day?" the older spat and Eun Ae choked on nothing.

'What? today is Valentine's day? So is Jungkook sad because of that? Why did he ate the Samgak-gimbap today? Is he missing his girlfriend who used him? Was he really missing her and eating? Was he eating that Samgak-gimbap in the memory of his girlfriend?' She thought. A series of pang was felt in her heart and for a second she felt jealous.

"Unnie actually Jungkook was eating Samgak-gimbap today so-"

She was cutoff by Rhea who sighed heavily looking away.

"Actually today is not only Valentine's day but al-" she paused biting her lips.

"Also what unnie?" Eun Ae was restless even she don't know why? she wanted to listen to her so desperately.

"Eomma's death anniversary​ and Jungkook... he eats Samgak-gimbap today like every year which was her favourite and he visits her grave" Rhea spat and Eun Ae cursed herself for making such weird assumptions. She felt so small and stupid.

"Unnie....can i.. can i take a leave today? I mean-" Eun Ae wasn't able to form her words. The elder noticed how badly she was holding herself.

"Go Eun Ae.. don't worry i am here for you" Rhea patted her shoulder and Eun Ae sprinted towards the door.

~~~

"Eomma are you doing well?" Jungkook's eyes were teary as he looked at the headstone where her name was carved. He dug his hand inside his pocket to take off his handkerchief. He dusted the carpet of dead leaves which was formed on the cement slab, tears were continuously flowing from his eyes and he did not even cared for it anymore.

The graveyard was empty with the the dead souls resting in peace waiting for their loved ones to visit them. The wind whooshing by giving rise to the rustling noise of the leaves and it scattered around further covering the ground of graveyard with a temporary layer of dead leaves.

Jungkook's cheeks were glistening with tears when he kept the bunch of roses on the slab, roses were her all time favourite.

"Eomma i wonder what are you doing now? Are you missing me?" he sniffed a little and tried breathing. He looked at the sky to spot large flocks of birds flying. He chuckled at the sight when a memory flashed infront of his eyes.

"Eomma you remember the fancy dress competition?" he chuckled wiping his tears, "...when i was in 5th grade and i wanted to became a seagull?" he laughed a little.

"And you said no because you wanted me to become a doctor, you even bought a dress... but then i ended up becoming a coconut just because noona wanted me to become one as she promised me that she will be gifting me my favourite manga" he chuckled when his own image flashed infront of him, image of him wearing the gunny bags and a coconut haircut.

"Eomma, noona did that purposely because she wanted to win the bet. Yes she had a bet with her classmate that she will make me coconut. You know eomma? i was harassed after that..! they use to call me 'coconut head'. I was so sad but then noona would punch and scold them because she was feeling guilty for her deeds" Jungkook chuckled. His noona was the only girl close to him that time because he was shy with girls.

"Eomma can you see me? i look handsome...right?..... aye don't worry not more than Jin hyung though. Eomma i know you love Jin hyung more than me" Jungkook burst into laughter. His mother would always admire the older guy than her own son. Sometimes Jungkook would get jealous of Jin just because he was getting more love and praise then him from his mother.

"Eomma.. why did you left so early? i...i.." his lips quivered and he covered his mouth to hold back his tears. Jungkook was sitting on the ground not bothering whether his limited edition suit was being ruined. He just wanted to spend time with the lady, the lady whom he loved, his mom, his inspiration, his idol, his haven, his everything.

(Want to hug this boy so bad😭😭😭😭)

"Eomma... i love you! you know that right? I even ate samgak-gimbap today like every year. You use to love that right? i remember appa use to bring that for you. I wish you were here with me so i would have given you that" he sobbed but then snuffled. He wanted to cry and let out the pain. He wanted someone to give him a shoulder. He wanted to rest in someone's arm.

"I wish you were here to offer me a hug" he wiped his tears but then was frozen to death when a pair of arm was wrapped around his body, pressing him in. The person gave all the strength to hug him.

Jungkook did not even wasted a minute to realise who was that. The scent was familiar, soothing to be specific.

"Eun Ae what are you doing here? You should be-" he was shushed by her.

"Jungkook just stay!" was the thing he heard and then he never spoke a word after that. They stood there for few minutes, Eun Ae backhugging him while his hands on her arms which were wrapped around him. Jungkook felt at ease, he breathed and was calmed with the fact that he had someone who will not judge him. He felt so relaxed in her embrace.

"Who told you about this?" he asked finally breaking the ice.

"Unnie" she spoke in his back. Eun Ae inhaled his scent which was familiar for her, frankly speaking she missed that, she missed the time when she use to be close to him.

"Why did-"

"It's fine Jungkook does it matter now?" she broke the hug and sat beside him after dusting a little. She stared at him whose face was messy now. Her heart ached at the sight thinking how much he might have cried just by seeing the dried tears on his cheeks, puffy and reddened eyes. She looked away when he switched his eyes towards her.

"Its so strange that people receives more flowers after their death...!" she said nonchalantly and looked at him.

"What do you mean?" he asked not averting his eyes from her. The corner of her lips curved into smile.

"I mean Jungkook, it's so strange that the people receives more flower after their death and you know why?? because unfortunately regret is more powerful then gratitude." Jungkook understood what she wanted to say, he felt guilty for the time when he had his mom with him but instead of admiring her presences he ignored her, he do loved her but many times he would just take her for granted. His eyes went towards the roses he kept earlier, he wished he would have given her when she was alive.

There was a pin drop silence for a couple of minute also the wind refused to budge.

Jungkook looked at her with curiosity who was already gazing at him.

"Don't stare" she warned and he gulped looking away.

"Jungkook?"

"Hmph?"

"Do you wanna make today's day interesting and memorable?" she asked raising her eyebrows.

"How?"

"Come with me...!" she said before getting up. He got up still clueless about what she will do. He followed her after taking a last look at the grave. A smile was plastered on his face as he realised that today he is not alone unlike every year. Every year he use to just sit at the grave and stare at the headstone. Jungkook knew that he shouldn't be going anywhere leaving his beloved mom who was rested in peace but he also trusted Eun Ae, the girl who would never fail to impress him.

Jungkook followed her as they reached the parking lot.

"Jungkook i have taken a cab so i will be heading first. You just follow the cab okay?" the girl said on which he nodded. He had many questions in his mind but then he decided not to speak.

Jungkook's car followed the cab. Soon they reached a place and he saw the cab stopped. Eun Ae got down from the cab and so did he. Jungkook noticed the place, it was unfamiliar for him. His eyes trailed towards her who was now taking out a heavy plastic bag from the cab. He quickly made his way towards her.

"What's this?" he asked but then he realised this wasn't the only bag as there were two more.

"What's-"

"Jungkook can you help first!" she glared at him and he nodded. Jungkook helped to remove the bags from the cab meanwhile she paid.

Eun Ae told him to carry two bags while she carried one as they made their way towards the bungalow.

"Where are we?" he asked with curiosity as he tried to search for the name plate or anything which would state the name of the place.

"You will know" she politely answered. They reached the entrance and she knocked the door. The door opened and an old lady welcomed them. Jungkook was looking at the old lady who was smiling at Eun Ae. He was completely clueless why they were here.

"Come inside Eun Ae" the old lady said as they made their way inside. Jungkook heard noises when they were walking through the corridor. Soon they reached, his eyes widened seeing so many children who were playing. The whole place was a mess, toys everywhere.

"Where are we Eun Ae?" he asked her while his eyes fixed on a little girl who was sticking her tongue out at him.

"This is an orphanage Jungkook. You remember when i went with Jimin oppa for his shopping?" she raised her eyebrows.

"Yeah" he bluntly said as the time flashed infront of his eyes when he struggled so hard and finally bought the album for her but his struggle was wasted as Jimin already gifted her the album.

"That day we met his friend, Wang Jackson. He works for a non profit organisation and this orphanage is one of the best example of their work" she chimed.

"You have came here already?" Jungkook asked her as he saw how happy she was.

"Yes, that day with him and then i visited this place once" she spat.

"So why are we here?" he wasn't able to understand why they were here.

"Just see Jungkook" Eun Ae patted his shoulder and turned towards the children who were already looking at the couple, some even gathered around them, some where clinged to the plastic bags the couple had brought with them.

"Kids come here" she did a 'come here' motion with her hands. The children gathered around her. She was happy to see how well mannered the children were.

Eun Ae knelt down on the floor and opened the plastic bag, the kids even Jungkook was staring at it. His eyes widened when he saw what was there in that bag.

"Samgak-gimbap?" Jungkook exclaimed.

"Kids this hyung has brought the snacks for you" Eun Ae said and then pulled Jungkook, he landed beside her. Eun Ae signaled him to give out the samgak-gimbap to the kids who were drooling at the sight. Jungkook smiled and handed the samgak-gimbap to the kids one by one. Soon the next bag which was filled with candies was opened. Eun Ae gave the candies to the kids who were chirping and eating. The snack, candies were distributed and they were left with none. The third bag had story books, colouring books and stationaries in it for kids. Jungkook saw the kids happily eating and smiling, the snacks and candies she brought was more than enough for the kids. The children were satisfied and were giggling, skipping around.

"Kids, this snacks and candies are from this hyung" she pointed at Jungkook, ".... Today is the day when his mom left him-"

"Where did his mom go noona?" a little boy asked, Eun Ae chuckled as she heard his baby voice.
