As you drove over the hill, you were greeted by the combine pulling out of the field and onto the road. Waving to your Uncle Bob, you followed the main drive until you got to the gravel up by the second barn. Parking the car, you reminded Jimin and Tae that your family didn't speak a lot of Korean.

Jimin leaned forward over the car seat.

"Do not worry about us at all (Y/N), focus on your family. Tae and I can watch over ourselves, and hyung will watch over you in our place," and with that Jimin got out of the car.

You followed suit and dragged the guys over to the side door of the house to shout at your Aunt Pat.

She was waiting at the screen door, and she came out into the March wind and gave you a fierce hug.

"I told Bob I thought we'd see you today love. How's my girl doing? And who are these handsome young men with you," asked your Aunt Pat and you hurried to introduce Jimin and Taehyung who adorably went into meet and greet mode with your 70-year-old auntie.

"Aunt Pat, this is Yoongi Min, my boyfriend who convinced me to come out here today," and you turned back to Yoongi.

"Yoongi this is my Aunt Pat. My Uncle Bob was up on the combine, the farm equipment we saw in the driveway. Uncle Bob is my Dad's brother," you explained and Yoongi bowed to Aunt Pat who seemed a little nonplussed at the idea of anybody bowing to her.

She giggled a little and held out her hand to shake.

"Nice to meetcha, Yoongi Min," said Aunt Pat and you silently applauded her listening skills.

"Now why don't I take young Jim and Tae into the kitchen to keep warm and you and your young man can head up to the hill and talk to your Daddy and Mama (Y/N)," said Aunt Pat.

You turned to Jimin and Tae who both held up their phones with the translator app already open.

"Go ahead Noona, and we will stay and entertain your Imo," said Tae.

"Madam," he said in accented English, bowing slightly and extending his arm for an escort.

"How do you boys feel about sugar cookies," you heard Aunt Pat ask as they headed back into the house.

You turned to Yoongi and laughed.

"Sorry you have to miss sugar cookies Suga," you teased, and Yoongi grinned.

"You can make them when we get home Babygirl," he teased back, and you sighed as you turned to look at the hill and the task ahead.

Yoongi held out his hand and you laced your fingers through his and tugged him in the direction of the path behind the barn. Behind you, you could hear the combine coming around the barn, so you thought you'd better head up the hill now before Uncle Bob took it upon himself to join you.

You walked past the pens and showed Yoongi where the milk barns were as you head up the hill.

When you got to the top of the hill you sighed deeply and walked to the tree. Letting go of Yoongi's hand, you paced off 23 paces east of the tree and bent down to touch the ground at your feet.

"Love you Mama. Love you Daddy," you said, and then stood and turned to find Yoongi watching you.

"I was 23 when they had the accident, so I asked that their ashes be interred 23 feet off the tree so I could always find them," you explained, and Yoongi walked over to wrap you in his arms.

"I never saw them after the accident, the jackass hit them so hard there was no identification that could be done but dental, so they were both cremated. The funeral home I had hired to do the cremation told me they couldn't actually separate them into separate cremations, and would it be ok if they were together," you paused to take a breath and heard Yoongi curse under his breath before his arms tightened around you again.
