As Jisoo and Rose declutter the entire wardrobe and separate the gifts Sehun gave to Jisoo, Rose finds a strange looking box

"Babe, what is this?" Rose asks

"Oh, this is an old box that my mother used to own. I have so many memories of my childhood stored in this" Jisoo replies

"Does this have a picture of your mother? I really wanna see her" Rose pouts

Jisoo smiles "It does. Let me show you"

She opens the box and it is filled with worn-out papers with drawings, a tiny little scrunchie, and some photo frames.

"This was my favorite scrunchie. Mom gifted me this on my birthday"

 Rose takes a frame out 

"Woah this is your mother?" she asks

"Yes, it was her wedding day" Jisoo replies

Rose closely looks at her, she resembles a lot like Jisoo, pretty innocent face, smiling brightly as ever. She is wearing a very simple white dress, no one could've guessed that it was her wedding dress. Simple yet she looks gorgeous in it

As Rose examines it further, something seems off. The photo is well set on the frame but--

"There is something behind the picture," Rose says to herself and opens the frame

As soon as it opens, a piece of paper falls down.

"Jisoo, there is something over-" Rose says and bends down to take the paper

Jisoo was looking at other pictures when she diverts her gaze to Rose. 

"What is it?" she asks and comes closer

Rose picks the paper up and looks at it

"Seems like a letter to me," she says

"That's my mother's handwriting," Jisoo says as her voice shivers. She has looked at all these things numerous times before but never noticed it. The idea of another memory of her mother makes her overly emotional

"I want to look at it alone," she says

Rose respects her privacy "Sure babe. I'll finish the rest of the packing" she says

Jisoo walks towards the window and starts reading it.

                                            ***

It has been a while since Jisoo started reading it. It shouldn't take this long. It's as if she is reading it again and again.

"Umm Jisoo? What is it about?" she asks

Jisoo doesn't answer


"Jisoo?" Rose walks over to her and taps her on the shoulder

Jisoo flinches as if she has seen a ghost

"y--yes?" she says and her voice cracks as she tries her best to hold back the tears

"Are you fine? What does it say?" Rose asks again

"She must've written more," Jisoo says to herself without answering Rose

She rushes to the box and opens each and every photo frame there but finds nothing. She suddenly stops searching as something comes to her mind.

"Why didn't she post the letter?" she says to herself again

 She looks at the letter and checks the date "11th December 1999. She died on 12th. She didn't have the time to write another. This was her last one" she says
