Fields of Gold (MYG)✔️

Part 52

You turned in his arms and looked at your Yoongi before burying your head in his shoulder and continuing.

"I thought it was important they were together even in the end. They were always together in life, so in death it seemed fitting. They gave me the urn after the cremation, and I never thought of going anyplace but here to bury them. It was where Mom and Dad met." You moved out of Yoongi's arms and walked back to the tree looking for your dad's terrible attempt at a heart. It took you a few minutes, but you finally found it again and pointed it out to Yoongi.

"So now their heart looks over them while they sit on the hill, I think they'd like that best," you say, and Yoongi used the edge of his hoodie to wipe tears away. You hadn't even realized you'd started crying until he did that, and you smiled at him through your tears.

"Uncle Bob sold me the acre of land the tree sits on, so no matter what happens later to the farm, this piece is mine. I haven't come back here as often as I should," you start to say but Yoongi cuts you off.

"Babygirl, it must be incredibly hard to stand here now even with me next to you, I don't think you are not honoring your parents by not coming, I think they are still a very important part of your life," and Yoongi just enfolded you in his embrace while you watched the last of the winter wheat wave in the brisk winter wind.

When the weak sunlight finally snuck past some of the clouds and gave a brighter glimpse to the day you heard Yoongi make a noise. Tilting your head to look at him, he noticed and smiled.

"I get the lyric finally, from that one song," he trailed off and you waited. You glanced off to your right as you heard the combine shut down and watched your Uncle Bob climb slowly out of the combine. Idly you wondered where your cousins were and why they'd let Uncle Bob in the new combine when Yoongi spoke again.

"Watch the sunlight play over the fields when the wind blows," said Yoongi. You stood in his embrace and watched as he requested but couldn't see anything abnormal. Looked like wheat fields to you, just as they had since your childhood. You shrugged and Yoongi chuckled.

"Watch when the sun hits the plants...These are the fields of gold Babygirl, and you were and are blessed to have such a spot in your life. You couldn't have chosen a better place for your parents to share their eternal rest," said Yoongi and you turned in his arms.

Occasionally he reminded you, hard, that beyond the music and the stage persona, he really was just a poet with a deeply romantic soul. And it always seemed to sneak into moments like this, as his words hit you hard, and you turned from watching him to look back out over the fields. You watched the colors change as the clouds kept moving and the sun darted in between and thought you knew what Yoongi was referring to.

You turned as you heard your uncle climb the hill behind you and went to go help him. Uncle Bob waved you off and instead went in for his huge hugs, lifting you clear off your feet. You squealed as you had since you were four and he had done this and hugged him back just as hard.

"There's my girl come to visit everyone," he boomed and nodded at Yoongi. "Snagged one did you little one," Uncle Bob pretended to whisper, and you thought fondly of being able to melt like a slime just straight into the ground. Only family can embarrass you like that.

Rolling your eyes, you started introductions.

"Uncle Bob this is my boyfriend, Yoongi Min," and turning to Yoongi you said, "Yoongi this is Bob (L/N), my father's brother."

You watched Uncle Bob and Yoongi stare at each other for a second before your Uncle Bob decided he would embarrass you further apparently.

"Hello Min Yoongi-nim, It is nice to meet the boyfriend of my brother's daughter," Uncle Bob was using his most formal rustic Korean and you turned to watch Yoongi's face to make sure he understood the intent behind your Uncles words.

Yoongi in turn however astonished you when he simply bowed, even deeper than Uncle Bob had and responded.

"Thank you for taking care of my girlfriend until I could meet her (L/N) Robert-nim."

You were proud and embarrassed all at once and when Yoongi stood up, Uncle Bob reached out a hand and Yoongi shook it and bowed again.

"Ehh, this one's much better than that last one, (Y/N). Glad you leveled up," said Uncle Bob, who apparently was determined to make you spontaneously combust in embarrassment.

Uncle Bob excused himself and went to stand over the spot where your parents were and give his own greetings and love to your folks. A few minutes later, he stood and offered his arm to you.

"C'mongirlie, it's bloody cold out here, let's head back into the house. You tooyoung man, we can have a talk," said Uncle Bob and your eyes got huge. Youspent the walk down the hill trying to convince your Uncle Bob he didn't needto "talk" to Yoongi at all, to no avail.
