Chapter 16: Indifference

SANA'S POV

His plan to go back here to Japan did not happen because after meeting his friends, an important schedule came up that everyone in their group needed to be present.

So I changed my plans as well.

Instead of going back earlier, I decided to stay here in my hometown for a week. Taehyung waited for me that day I planned before going back. I was gonna tell him but I forgot.

As result, he was furious? I think. But that day when I answered his call, all I felt was indifference.

"Hello?"

"Where are you? I'm already waiting at the airport."

I bit my lip as I replied. "I decided to stay here for a week, Bwi."

Nothing came but silence from the other line.

"B-bwi"

"I understand. I'll wait for you." Then he ended the call before he could hear my I love you.

"Is everything alright, my dear?" Mom spoke behind me. I answered with a broken yes. And secretly wiped a tear that left my eye.

The remaining days in Japan, I spent it doing everything just to occupy my mind from overthinking too much. I just hate doing that. It's pain for my brain!

But I couldn't stop doing it, especially when evening came. Before, I couldn't sleep because we'll be practicing too hard as a trainee. Now, I'm experiencing sleepless nights because of him. He hasn't sent a text or even tried to call since that day.

I wanted to text first but something's stopping me.

If it's pride? I don't know.

But there's this feeling.

"OMG!" A shout from a lady caught my attention. I'm at a mall right now in Japan and in disguise. Wearing a cardigan paired with jeans, and a baseball cap, and a black mask, I think no one's gonna recognize me.

"How sweet." The people around murmured.

A random couple was at the center of the area. The man was singing a love song, his eyes only on her while expressing his love in front a hundred of people.

"Happy anniversary, love!" And they embraced each other.

"Aww." I cooed along with the crowd.

How I wish for Taehyung to do-...

It's impossible.

That feeling...

I watched the lady hugged her man so tight while whispering to his ear how thankful she was.

The feeling of wanting to wait and see a huge effort from him. From the start, I was the only one who solely wanted this relationship. Not expecting, he'll want me back.

And that's enough right. Plus we're artists. We aren't free to show anything we want and love.

But why is my heart wanting much more?

Is something really lacking?

At the end of the day, I bought every cloth and food I liked just to remove the emptiness I'm feeling.

"Tadaima!"

"Welcome home, dear! Dinner's ready." That was Mom who was in the kitchen as I arrived home. I kissed my Dad. He was busy watching some news on the TV. I walked to the kitchen to kiss my mom and embraced her from behind.
