"excuse me.  m-my brother used to leave letters on top of jung hoseok's grave.  i was wondering-"

"ah, i got them.  i was waiting to see if he would ever come pick them up."

"y-you were?"

the old man nodded, jeongguk smiling gratefully as he entered a small shed and exited with an envelope of paper. 

"except one of those your other tiny friend dropped.  i hope you don't mind but i read it.  park jimin was supposed to hold onto it."

jeongguk tilted his head as he grabbed the envelope, "what was it?"

"some sort of thank you letter.  i hope you don't mind me asking but what happened to the lad?"

jeongguk looked at the ground, "it's a long story...."

"i have time."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"whatcha up to, baby?"

"watchin ggukie.  my little brother graduated~"

hoseok chuckled at yoongi's enthusiasm, right after graduation jeongguk went to visit the two's graves and ended up asking for yoongi's letters.

he listened to jeongguk tell the two's story, being able to tell it without breaking down.  he'd grown and moved on, something yoongi wasn't able to do. 

jimin struggled to move on but yoongi found out of his small friend's feelings for him.  jimin had said that his feelings were a crush and it was nothing compared to what yoongi felt for hoseok.

yoongi sighed as jeongguk told the old man of his death, how he overdosed at hoseok's grave.

hoseok rubbed yoongi's back, kissing his neck.

"what hobiii~?"

"can't i love you~"

yoongi laughed, turning away from jeongguk and instead hugging hoseok. 

"hey hobi?"

"yes babe?"

"is it bad that i prefer this over the 3 years without you...?"

"probably... but i don't care... i have you here."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

jeongguk read through all the letters, he saw that some had tear stains, some alcohol stains, some had cigarette ash. 

he didn't even know his brother had been smoking or drinking.

with a sigh he laid down on his bed, "i love you, big brother."

~~~~~~~~~~~

"yoon.  ready to go?"

"huh?"

"didn't i tell you this?  we can leave, we're dead you know.  jeonggukie's at peace now, we're free to leave."

"but-"

"yoongi.  we have to or we're stuck as spirits forever.  we can wait for them."

yoongi smiled and nodded, sighing.  "okay, let's go."

hoseok took yoongi's hand, kissing him softly and yoongi kissed back with the same gentleness.

yoongi giggled, "what was that for?"

hoseok shrugged, "cause i love you."

"well i love you too!"

"i know you do."

as the two finally walked away fading from that cruel world,  jeongguk sighed."i'll miss you guys."
