Time Traveler

Chapter 14

Seon

Yoongi and Minnie helped me to clean up the kitchen even though I had meant it as a joke that they could help me, but I was glad they did. After we had cleaned everything, Yoongi said that he could fix the mug back to its original state so I sent him to my garage while me and Minnie were making dinner for the three of us.

When it was time for dinner Yoongi came back from the garage and joined us. I thought that he wouldn't say a word at the dinner table, making everyone a bit uncomfortable, but he spoke to Minne like they were old friends even though they had never gotten along before today.

After we were finished with dinner Min-hu had to go home and I was left with Yoongi, who said that he'll fix my mug before leaving the place too.

I was about to put away the plates and bowls that had dried up, but as I had lifted them up an alarm went off on Yoongi's phone that he had left on the corner of the kitchen counter. I put the plates back on the counter and looked at the alarm that was set on his phone.

"Mother's and father's death anniversary," I read the alarm message. Oh, it is today? "Hey, I fixed it." I flinched as I heard Yoongi's voice and quickly turned towards him, pretending to have not noticed the reminder on his phone.

"You fixed what?" I asked without thinking since the reminder on his phone kept bugging me. Should I say that I saw the reminder, or is it too personal? He looked confused and gave me an awkward smile. "I fixed your mug," he said and handed me the mug that I had broken this morning. "My mug," I whispered as I took the mug from his hands.

Before I even realized it, I was crying and Yoongi handed me a tissue box. I took one tissue and patted the corners of my eyes with it. "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't be crying over a mug like that, but it means a lot to me and I really miss my dad, but I should be lucky that I still have my mom and I'm just really glad that you decided to help me even though it's a hard day for you too." Yoongi's eyes widened for a moment as if I had said something terrifying to him, but then his gaze softened again like nothing had happened. "It's alright. You don't have to apologize, I sometimes really miss my parents too," he said, walking past me to grab his phone from the counter.

I slapped my hands over my mouth as I realized what I had said, almost breaking the mug again. "I didn't mean to look, I'm so sorry," I said as I put the mug on the table to not break it again and approached him. "I really repay your kindness. Can I come with you to their grave?"
