The garden was dim lit. It had trees and shrubs with flowers blooming in the dark. There was a pagoda on top the hill. Lit by small lanterns.
Jimin walked in the pathways as he touched the touched the plants.
Jungkook walked up behind him trying to catch up.
"Can you see that Kook?"
He pointed afar into a tall building with a ship on the top. Of course he recognised the building.
"We're going there in two days."
He said with a fake thrilled expression.
Jungkook tilted his head at the smaller boy.
"What's with the fake smile?"
He asked the boy.
Jimin walked to a bridge, bellow it was a small lake with koi fishes. The surface was reflecting the moonlight.
He turned to face Jungkook.
"I'm not faking my smile."
He smiled. 'smiled'
"I know how your real smile looks like Park."
He bickered the boy on the bridge.
"Oh really?"
He smiled. smiled.
"Yes i do."
"how?"
"Because i just made you do it."
Jimin's cheeks were starting to redden but hopefully it won't be visible in the dark park.

"My family, wanted me to.. visit my other family in Singapore."
"So?"
"The problem is.. I don't like them."
"Why?"
Jungkook said as he followed the boy onto the bridge.
"I don't wanna talk about it.."
Jungkook felt offended.
"Hey, "
He reached out to grab Jimin's hand.
"You can tell me everything.."
Jimin looked at him, doubting himself and Jungkook. Is he really worth it.
Could those bunny smile lie? Could those innocent eyes betray him?
Could he break him?
Jimin erased the thought.

"Well, we are alone.."
Jimin looked around to make sure they were alone.
Jungkook nodded when Jimin signalled for them to go to the pagoda.
Jungkook sat down when Jimin decided to sit down on the dusty pagoda marble floor in front of the Kwan-Im goddess statue which the goddess look moreover dusty and her pearly skin had turn into a shade of bright grey.
In front of her was a table filled with broken porcelain bowls and red incense sticks were scattered on the table covered in worn out silk sheet.

"Her name is Kwan-Im."
Jimin looked at Jungkook who nodded.
"She's the goddess of mercy and forgiveness."
Jimin trailed of.
"My Ah ma taught me about her.."
Jimin smiled at the fond memory.
"How she has a heart of ivories.."
Jimin got up to look at the smiling goddess' face.
"But I'm sure you wanted to hear more about my family than Kwan-Im."
He nodded at Jimin's statement.
Jimin took a sigh and sat beside him.

"I don't like them because of.."
"They hated me and my father."
Jungkook's head turned.
"My grandparents and family didn't like my father when my mom and he dated."

"They tried many ways to sabotage their relationship."
"Even to go as far as to hire a prostitute to my father's apartment to seduce him."

"To leave my mom."

"Then once my uncle almost threw a plate at him
one time during a dinner night."
"They even asked my father if he would leave my mom if they sign him a $10 million check."
