Daseot (다섯)

The day finally arrived. The funeral was about to begin and I thank god Mi-kying did not do a traditional Korean funeral that lasted too many days for my comfort levels, they creeped me out, fortunately modern funerals and western customs are becoming more normal.

I was wearing a navy dress with simple black pumps and my hair in a sleek bun. Even as I sat with the casket right in front of me I still didn't feel the need to cry over him. Everyone around me was emotional, some I think were laying it on pretty thick in my opinion, but who was I to really say? I only knew my father for eleven years of my life so maybe their reactions were appropriate. I sat at the end of the row, Minji was to my left, Mi-kyung to hers and Minsu to hers. All the cousins, aunts and uncles I met yesterday were there along with a plethora of extended family, friends, neighbors and acquaintances. Too many people in one place.

The service was nice. I had to resist rolling my eyes and scoffing several times but that's on me. I kept it together and respectful. While I agreed to let go and start healing we all knew it wouldn't happen over night.

"Are you okay?" Minji whispered grabbing my wrist

"Yeah. You?" She had tears in her eyes that had yet to fall

"Mmhm"

Lots of people spoke about my father including my siblings and their mother and surprisingly they didn't say overly-nice things, not that they were disrespectful or rude, but kept it truthful. They tried to get me to say a few words but I knew that wasn't a good idea so naturally I declined. I wasn't in the proper emotional or mental state to say anything appropriate. After the service was over we drove out to the cemetery for the burial then went to a banquet hall to accept family and friends. After making rounds to the few family members I could remember I set out to find Yeeun.

"Hey Min-su oppa, have you seen Yeeun? Is she here?" I asked after scanning the crowd

"I saw her heading for the lobby a few minutes ago but I don't know where she is exactly," he replied. I nodded and went to the lobby to see her sitting on a bench with her phone clutched in both hands and her earbuds again. This girl is addicted to her phone. I sat down next to her and popped one out

"What is so important that you are ditching family to see?"

"Umm two of the members of bangtan are live right now" She answered "They came on to tell ARMY they are okay and aren't sick or anything. I was so worried about them"

"What's army?"

"That's their fandom name" I nodded to show I understood. Like how Beyonce has the Beyhive, got it. She scooted over closer to me to allow me to see and popped out an earbud for me to listen as well.

It was Suga and Jungkook on the screen assuring their fans that they were both perfectly fine and not to worry. I scanned the comments seeing well-wishes and lots of purple heart emojis flood the screen. Suga is the one I see in my dreams. My heart rate increased as I watched them, both men seemed to be reacting to something that couldn't be seen on camera

"Unnie, are you alright?" The trance I was in dissipated at the sound of her concerned voice

"Ye-yeah, I'm fine" I felt hot suddenly "Excuse me" I gave her her earbud back and found the nearest bathroom. I burst through the door and saw that one stall was occupied, I turned on the cold water letting it pool in my hands then patted it on my face to cool off. The stalls opened and out came Mi-kyung.

"Are you okay?" She asked looking at through the mirror as she thoroughly washed her hands

"Yes"

"No you're not" she scoffed "Ma-ri I heard you all talking yesterday and it's very possible and likely you have soulmates"
