Begin Again

Six

Su-min stopped at the popcorn stand and looked towards her Appa. Jin steps forward and asks, "Do you want to add butter?"

She nods but because she's still upset that they invited others along she doesn't speak up. Jin frowns but tells the vendor to add extra butter.

He then hands the overflowing bag to her and she smiles broadly. When Jin tries to reach for a piece she quickly turns and walks away to join Jin's mother.

Tae chuckles and tells him, "Don't worry, I'll get you some."

"Two medium popcorns please. Make sure one is dripping with extra butter." He then smiles at Jin who says, "You remembered."

"Of course. I remember everything about you." He grabs the bags of popcorn and hands him the special one.

Jin's eyes lit up, just as Su-min's did a few minutes earlier.

They continue walking around, wondering where Jimin and Namjoon went. They soon got their answer when they heard Jimin screaming from atop the Ferris wheel.🎡

Su-min was with her halmeoni, riding the rollercoaster that was specifically for young children. It barely went above 10 feet and moved really slow. She didn't look too excited about it.

Jin and Tae stood by the side watching them. "Do you remember the time we went on the Mega coaster?" Tae asks.

"Um, yes. You tricked me into riding it and I nearly died!"

Tae laughs harder and says, "I did not trick you! I was the one who was trying to keep you off of it. But you had chugged your fourth shot of whiskey and you suddenly felt brave."

Jin covered his face, giggling at the memory. Or what he could remember of it. "Ughhh! I got so sick that night. It was awful. I swore I'd never drink again."

"Yeah, you remember how long that lasted? You went drinking the next weekend too."

"Why are you only mentioning the bad things? I wasn't that bad... was I?" Jin asked. Suddenly curious if he was the problem. And why his marriage tanked.

"You will never get me to say anything bad about you. Don't forget, you stole my heart. Nobody has ever come close to you." Tae replies kinda sadly.

"Tae.. I.."

"Here comes your daughter. She looks unhappy." Tae interrupts him.

Jin turns to see his daughter with her arms crossed and stomping his way. His mother looks fed up and gives him a side eye.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

"Your daughter here keeps asking to ride the big rides. But you know I'm not getting on those!"

"Appa! Please! Can you ride them with me?"

"What?! No! I don't like those rides. You know that."

"If papa were here he would do it." She stomps some more.

"Well he isn't here.. so you can either accept that or we can go home."

"I will get on with you. If you want to." Tae tells her.

She looks at him like she forgot he was there. And instantly frowns. She glances at her Appa who shrugs and asks, "Well, if you really want to get on those rides. He's your only hope."

She looks around, hoping to see Jimin. But she doesn't see him anywhere.

She then lets out an exaggerated sigh and says, "Fine.. but we will only ride together. No talking or anything. You got it?"
