Yoongi POV-

When I fell downwards, I panicked. But as I felt my body neither hitting the ground, nor falling downwards, I stiffened.

Am I dead already...?

Suddenly, I was put down on the ground, as if someone saved me, and I quickly pulled out the torch from my pocket and flashed towards whatever or whoever saved me.

To my horror, I saw a familiar woman, with tears trickling down her cheeks, looking at me with adoration.

"MOM?!!", I exclaimed, shocked.

I was amused when she too got shocked. "Can you see me?!", She asked, puzzled.

"H-how did you-- How did you come here?!! You- you died- IN FRONT OF MY EYES! D-did I bury you alive?! Mom why do you look like you're transparent?!! Why are you still wearing the same dress you wore that day?! What-- WHAT'S HAPPENING?!! I'm hallucinating! No, I'm dreaming!! Anyways you do come in my dreams everyday-"

Suddenly, mom surprised me, by engulfing me into a hug, sobbing. "Dear... I really am... Dead."

I pushed her away, exclaiming, "WHAT?! You're a ghost?!"

"Shh!! Don't exclaim that out loud... They hate to be called ghosts... It hurts them a lot. And me too...", Mom sighed.

Tears filled my eyes, slowly, as I tried to process everything. Mom is dead...? But still I can see and touch her...?

Probably, it's because we love each other so much, that death cannot separate us this easily...

Suddenly, I saw more people appearing out of nowhere, walking towards us. I stiffened for a moment. So many ghosts..?!

Thank god they're not covered in blood! Or have creepy scars!!

I shuddered, and turned to my mom. "Who are they?"

"Uh... People who are separated from their loved ones, just like us..."

"Oh..."

"Hey!! Sun-woo is screaming in pain!! It's her 40th day today!!", A voice exclaimed and everyone except mom suddenly disappeared.

"Let's go.", She said, and held onto my wrist. "This might... Hurt."

Before I could process the sentence, I was suddenly dragged towards the tunnel, at a high speed, that I yelled loud. Not just that, my skin hurt due to the friction with air, with such a force.

I fell down, exhausted, when we reached the destination.

What the actual hell was that?!

A scream made me look up. A young girl, around 20 years clutched onto her head, screaming loudly. She looked like she was going through a lot of physical pain.

A man beside her patted her. "It's gonna be okay. Don't worry. It's all gonna be alright. Totally fine... We're all there for you."

She yelled in pain, which made me worried. She is going through a lot... Poor girl...

I walked to my mom and whispered, "What happened to her? Is she sick or something?"

"We spirits are detached from our body for 40 days. After that, we go to God, who created us all. Depending on our past actions, we will either enter a painful hell, after which we will be reborn, to correct our mistakes, or go to heaven, to God, forever that is, salvation."

This sounds really... Religious... And I feel like it sounds weird.

I don't like this theory at all.

"And, it's her 40th day. She's going to God soon. But, it's not an easy task. Her spirit will undergo rapid changes at this time, before leaving this world."

Why do I want to believe this, even though I don't want to??

I looked at the girl, thoughtfully. It slightly hurted my heart, to see her in that state. She's struggling and I can't help her...

Let me at least, try.

I walked towards the girl, slowly. I had no idea what I wanted to do, but just wanted to give her some words of comfort.

"Uh... I'm Yoongi... Mrs. Min's son..."

The girl glared at me, and exclaimed, "And I'm Sun-woo, A GIRL WHO COMMITED A SUICIDE!"

I didn't know what to reply, and stared at the ground, thoughtfully.

"I'm sorry... It must be hard... To live, and to die...", I said, sadly.

"It is!", She wailed, tears flowing down her cheeks, which were red by then.

"I probably don't have anything to relate with you but I-"

"You do!! You really DO!!", She exclaimed, making me puzzled.

"What?"

"Your SO CALLED FATHER... IS MINE TOO!"

Wait WHAT?!!

My eyes widened, and I exclaimed, "WHAT?!"

"Yes!!", She sobbed. "He's a bast***, that guy!! He tortured the both of us, just because mom and I ARE ALIVE! So, I did what he wanted so bad. I KILLED MYSELF!!"

I was totally shocked, that I couldn't speak. After a few moments, anger bubbled inside of me, more worse than a volcano eruption. I made my hands into fists and exclaimed, "I'M NOT GONNA LEAVE THIS GUY HANGING OUT THERE AFTER TORTURING OUR LIVES!"

"Not just us, Yoongi-ssi. Many others.", She said, sniffing.

"I'm your brother. This brother of yours will KILL-"

"Please NO, NO!", Sun-woo interrupted and I was confused.

"Why?!"

"I saw people talking bullshit about you. I don't want that to happen even more. I don't want my brother to go to prison. JUST SEND THAT M.F TO PRISON!! LET HIM ROT THERE!! AND LAWFULLY BE HANGED!!"

I really wanted to MURDER that guy but I decided to obey what my sister wanted.

"Okay. I'll try to find him, and PUT HIM TO JAIL.", I exclaimed.

Suddenly, Sun-woo gave a loud scream, and I panicked. Is she leaving now?!

Slowly, her spirit evaporated, as she smiled at me, tearfully. The others stared at the black space, woebegone, where Sun-woo sat, until a few seconds ago.

Seeing your own mom die feels like your heart ripped away from you. But seeing a troubled step-sister who committed suicide because of your father, struggling in pain, and later disappearing, feels like your entire soul ripped away from you.

What the hell am I even experiencing?! Why is all this happening in front of me?! Why am I seeing all this?!

I just don't understand...

-

"I then spent time with my mom for a few days, until she too, left me, like Sun-woo...", I said, sighing. "These spirits, who are my friends, will also leave me and go, soon, as their time comes."

"You have gone through some stuff. That's why you're totally mature right now. You've accepted the reality.", Yeona stated.

I smiled. Not just that Yeonie, I still remember when I met you, in T.V, which changed my whole life, and behaviour upside down.

~

After a few years after my mother left me, I came back home after capturing some pictures of the beautiful honeysuckle flowers in the garden nearby.

I was happy, because I at last, was strolling in the garden, without people whispering among themselves about me, as much as before.

They did gossip, but not as much as before.

I switched on the T.V, to see NEWS flashing on the screen. Interview time? Ah that's really boring...

I was going to change the channel when the smile of a beautiful face captured my attention. Is she even real?

She said, "I don't like people who hurt others. That's one of the characters I would check in my future husband. He should not be a person who hurts others. That hurts me more than him not loving me."

"Wow, that's a really good expectation ma'am. As you don't like people hurting others, could you tell some words of comfort to people who are hurt?"

"You're not alone. Remember that. Strangers might be hurting you, friends or relatives might be hurting you, or even your own PARENTS might be hurting you. But, it'll be okay. As long as I'm alive, remember, I'm always there for you, no matter what. I might not be there, physically, but still, I'll always love you. And, I'll love you only until you are yourself. Until you be honest to yourself. You be who YOU ARE. Not pretending. Don't try to force yourself to be perfect. No one can, no one is. You be yourself. Flaws, everyone does have it. Even me, see! I get scared of the smallest things! I cry easily! I get irritated easily too!", She said, giggling.

I was shocked for a moment. This is what my mother always told me!! It's like, my mother is speaking through her!

I watched the interview, and was amused by the actions or the words she used, which reminded me of my mother.

"Thank you so much Ms. Yeona for joining us! I had a lot of fun knowing more about you, and I'm sure our viewers too did!"

Yeona gave a laugh, which made my lips stretch to a small smile, staring adoringly at her.

"Glad to know that!", She laughed.

The interview ended with her waving a cute bye, and my love for her started with a cute smile.

I know that line was weird.

But from then on, I began exploring more about her, and watched her K-dramas, falling more for her, as time went on.

"Anyways!", I said, pushing my thoughts away. "The 'sources' I told you, was about these spirits. They inspected the village if there was any trace of my father. I had searched for him, for 3 years, but gave up. I know, my sister deserves justice, but... I realised one thing. He will come for me. My father hates me the most, out of all the others, I'm sure. He has been creating problems for me, since he left me that day, but thankfully, your parents always helped me. I'm grateful to them, a lot! And, that day... When your parents were killed, I was in a meeting with these spirits. And suddenly, one of the spirits heard Jungkook screaming, and I ran out, to see Jimin walking home. He just can't pretend to walk home, because he can just blame it on Namjoon and Taehyung. So, surely he is honest. Namjoon is a good man, but Taehyung is not the murdering type at all. He does nasty stuff, but never for other's unhappiness. He just does stuff so that he's happy. And, Jungkook is a BABY. He doesn't even know the 'K' of kill! He's naughty, but not at all disgusting... He's totally innocent. Seokjin was away, and I know him well. He was busy in a case, and during his investigation, he forwarded an important file to me, instead of the client... So I'm sure that he was busy. Hoseok was at his home, and I informed him. And his wife is his alibi."

"And Yeontan was out of-"

"No."

"What?", Yeona asked, surprised.

"No."
