I'm Vine Ft. Kim Taehyung (BTS) {COMPLETED ✔️}

Part Thirty-Two 삼십이

~ Alyssa ~

A few minutes later, I arrive at Yoonah's school. I quickly park my car and go to the schoolyard where Yoonah and Mrs. Lee are waiting for me. "Omma!" Yoonah says and runs to me. I kneel for her and hug her. "Hey sweety," I tell her, "I am so sorry we were late." "I'm okay, omma," she smiles. I smile back at her and put a kiss on her head.

I hold Yoonah's hand and stand up to look at her teacher. "I am so sorry, Mrs. Lee," I tell her, "There was a miscommunication between me and my husband." She smiles kindly, "It is okay, Mrs. Kim. These things happen." I bow my head to her, "Still, thank you for watching her a little longer." She smiles and bows her head back to me. "You're welcome," she says, "Have a great weekend." "Thank you, you too," I smile at her. "Have a nice weekend, Yoonah! See you Monday," Mrs. Kim tells Yoonah. Yoonah waves at her, "Bye Mrs. Lee!"

Yoonah and I go back to the car. I help her in her seat and then get into the car myself. I quickly look at my phone, but as I see no message nor calls from Taehyung, I put it away and drive home. During the drive, I can't stop thinking where it went wrong. I am very glad Yoonah is okay and Mrs. Lee didn't seem too bothered. But I don't understand how this could have happened. Taehyung and I discussed it this morning. Did he forget? Did he think I was going to pick her up instead?

I know he didn't do this on purpose. I refuse to believe he would ever do that. But it bothers me. Not to mention, he went to lunch with Ye-Jun, of all people. Instead of picking up his own daughter, he went out for lunch with Ye-Jun. Why? How did that happen?

"Omma?" Yoonah asks. I look up from my thoughts and look at her through the mirror. "Yes sweety?" I ask her. "Where is appa?" she asks me. I try not to show my true emotions. "He will be home soon, sweety," I tell her, "Something came up." Yoonah nods and looks out the window. I see how she thinks about what I just said.

Not even five minutes later, she looks back at me. "Does appa still love us?" She asks. I feel attacked by her question. "Of course he does, sweety!" I tell her, but my heart aches. She knew Taehyung was supposed to pick her up. Of course she does, we told her this morning. She feels hurt that he didn't come to pick her up. Maybe she even believes he forgot about her. Her own father...

"Baby, listen to me, okay?" I start seriously, "Your appa loves you. He loves you so much, more than you'll ever know." "Where is he then?" She asks. Damn, she is wise. When did she get so wise? But I try to stay calm. "Something came up, sweety. He will be home soon, I promise," I tell her. I hear a soft sigh roll of her lips. She looks out the window again, but I see her sad eyes. "This has nothing to do with you, baby" I tell her. Yoonah looks back at me, "Does he still love you?"

Again, I scare by her question. "Of course he does," I answer without thinking twice. I feel my heartbeat speed up. Why is she asking this? She knows Taehyung and I love each other. Just like we love her. Does she feel like he doesn't love me? Just because he forgot to pick her up? "Okay," she simply says and looks out the window again. 

I park the car in front of our house. I had a little hope Taehyung would be home already. Without showing any disappointment, I get out of the car and take Yoonah out of the car as well. I go inside the house with Yoonah and we are immediately greeted by Yeontan. He jumps up to Yoonah and barks happily. "Hey Tannie!" She greets him. I put my stuff on the table and look at my phone again. Still no message or call from Taehyung. But I do see a text from Yoongi.

Suga: Hey Ali, are you and Yoonah okay? 

I smile. He is always so caring. It makes my heart warm.

Me: Hey Yoongi, yes we are okay. We just got home. Thank you for your message. Did you see Taehyung yet?

But right as I send the message, I hear a door open. I put my phone down and see Taehyung run into the kitchen. "Hey..." He says. I see worry on his face, but I can't help but feel angry. "Where have you been?" I immediately ask him. "I am so sorry, baby," he says, "I completely lost track of time..." He walks over to me and looks like he wants to give me a hug, but I cross my arms and look at him, waiting for him to explain. "That's not an answer to my question," I tell him. Taehyung nods, "No, I know. I was at lunch..." I nod, "With who?" I know I am playing dumb, but I can't help but wonder what he would say.
