"you know, if they would've just moved out at the very beginning when all that weird stuff started happening, the whole family wouldn't be dead" jaemin says as he releases his anger about the horror movie we just watched together. "if they would've just listened to me!" he continues and i softly laugh at his anger.
the entire movie, he yelled and screamed at the television trying to give the characters advice on how to survive.
i truly think he thought they could hear him, every single time they made a wrong move, his screams would get louder, he would yell at them to go the other direction or to not open that door because something would pop out. he was somehow right almost every time.
everytime he would scream, my parents in the kitchen would start laughing. i would hear their movement stop before they would laugh and then continue. they were preparing dinner for tonight.
i was having the boys over for a family type dinner, one that we hadn't had in a while. not since before hyunjin left us.
i also planned on telling them about my acceptance to the art school in new york and the fact that i would be moving there soon after graduation.
i knew they wouldn't take it well hearing it so i'd figure we'd do it all together a little while before graduation so we could spend our last few weeks making memories together. we already had hundreds upon hundreds together but i wanted to make as many as i could.
i'm pretty sure a few of them already knew about my acceptance with the sulking they had been doing whenever i mentioned our college plans.
"hey, why are we having this dinner tonight?" jaemin turns to ask me, breaking me away from my thoughts. i shrug. "we haven't had one in a while, it will be good to have one all together, you know?" i say and he nods.
"yeah, what if it was just me, you and your parents tonight though?" he asks me as he lays his head down, resting it in my lap. he always wanted to be alone with me, even if alone really didn't mean alone. "come on, we have dinners together all the time, we have to have one of all of us together, graduation is coming soon and-" i cut myself short. i don't want to spoil it yet, even though i should really tell him.
"i know but i want some jaemin and moonie time" he pushes out his bottom lip and i shake my head at him. "we get that time literally all the time, plus we're going to have a sleepover tonight, you'll get your jaemin and moonie time, don't worry" i tell him, petting his dear head. he nods before looking back up at the television.
