I wish I called the two first rather than reading the message from Kenya… now I am on my way to the church. Times like this is when you need all the solitude you can get. Taemin was kind enough to send me one of the cars and little Cai volunteered to drive me around until I reached the cathedral in town. From the look in his eyes, I could tell that he was dying to ask what had happened but he was not able to…
“Will you be ok from here? I can take a taxi back to the academy…” Cai talked at last
“I am ok. Thank you. Just give me the keys. Are you sure you will not get lost? Remember that your Korea is not that good” I said taking the keys from him after he parked the car and we were alighting from the car
“I will try my luck… maybe I will get a person who understands Chinese or English.” He said confidently, “should I call anyone?”
“I will be fine. You just make sure you practice our punishment well and update me on any changes or challenges you get. I will come back on Wednesday. For now, I just need the silence that the church offers. I know that Jimin and the rest are worried. Tell them that I am in church… at least it will put them at ease. Let me take you to the Taxi stage so that I can make sure you get back safe and make sure you text me when you reach safe. I don’t want any cases with your mother.” With that, we put on our masks and I walked him up to the nearby taxi stand then after instructing the taxi as to where Cai was heading and paying the fare, I walked back to the church.
All I needed was just to go, say a short prayer and then sit for some time before heading to my house where I was going to lock myself while I mourn the death of my maternal grandfather. Apparently he got Covid-19 while in hospital and now all my family members my daughter include are in a fourteen day quarantine back home. I went in and said the prayer but I guess I fell asleep because I was woken up two hours later with some noise from some members who were doing the way of the cross in the church. I had to pretend that I was meditating for some minutes before walking out and heading to the car.
My phone had so many missed call from anyone who was important to me: 10 from Taemin, 8 from Kai, 15 from Jimin, 5 from I.M, 7 from Mark and Jackson, 12 from Felix, 2 from Bambam and 13 from a new number that I later found out was from Zico. I also had so many messages from mother, father and my sisters, also from Cai that I know was to inform me that he had arrived. The message that shocked me was from Woozi and it stated with a picture and

“So brat, you come back to Korea and not tell me anything, the same way you left without telling me… are you seeking a beating or you are trying to be wicked. I know you have discovered that I tell people that I don’t have any female friends so I guess maybe you are angry about it but how dare you come to Big Hit Company and not look for me… I have had what has happened to Babu, so I will let it slide but if I find out that I.M knew you were in Seoul before me, trust me… ALL HELL WILL BREAK…. Mark my word. Sorry!!! With love WOOZI. Save my number.”
