When I get home that night, my dad isn't there.
Hmmm, that's weird.
I walk inside, completely exhausted. And then I see a note laying on the kitchen counter.
Annabelle-
I've been deported again. I must go to the border of North and South Korea for a while. I will still be able to pay the bills and such, but you will be alone. I'm so sorry sweetheart, I know that we thought I wouldn't have to go again, but it has happened.
In case you aren't home before I leave, I just wanted to tell you that I love you so, so much, and that I'm so proud of you. I'll come visit as much as I can, but I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome.
Annabelle, I trust you, and I know that you won't do anything you aren't supposed to. You know where I keep all the money, in the safe. Please use it sparingly. I will leave some in your room as well.
I love you, I'll miss you. But don't worry, I'm coming back.
Love, Dad.
Tears were running down my face now. They were both gone now. I wasn't here before he left...
But I felt two hands on my shoulders, and I turned around, and there was my dad.
I hugged him. I hugged him as tightly as I could.
"Annabelle. I'm so glad you're home. Oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry that this is happening." I could hear that he was crying too.
"Dad... I love you. Please, please come back. I can't -". I cut myself off by a huge sob wracking my body.
"Annabelle, honey, I love you too. I'll come back, I promise..."
*****
My dad left about 30 minutes ago. And I was alone. I had our dog, Mitzy, but other than that, I was alone.
I felt despair wash over me like a wave in a hurricane. I collapsed on my bed and let myself cry. Mitzy stayed beside my bed, and I let her up on my bed, even though she was a big sized dog, and I cried next to her. She was a border collie and Australian shepherd mix, so she was usually hyper and playful.
But right now, she was seemingly sad, like I was.
I cried for a long time, then I cried some more. When I felt all cried out, it was 11 PM.
I got up and took a shower, making myself focus on something else. Like my job.
Oh boy, my job.
I had no idea what I had gotten myself into. I wasn't only their hair stylist. I had to help with other stuff too, which meant that I was there. All the time.
I would have to go with them on tour and everything. And even though that was extremely exciting, I was worried about me being gone all the time.
And what about Mitzy? Who was going to take care of her while I was gone? I couldn't put her in a kennel for that long.
Maybe they would let me take her with me?
Yeah right.
It was almost 12 when I got out of the shower. I collapsed onto my bed again. I had never been this exhausted before. I didn't even turn the light off, because I was already asleep.
*****
I drove to work the next morning, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.
Would I ever be able to catch up on my sleep?
I walk into the building. It wasn't the stadium, it was their main headquarters I guess?
I wasn't sure where to go. I couldn't remember if they had given me instructions as to where to go because my mind felt like jelly.
Then, one of the outfitters that ordered and made and fixed the boys' clothes appeared. Her name was Mi Sun, and she was very friendly.
"Ah, you're here! Good, good. Come with me, someone will give you a tour of the building." She beckoned for me to follow her, and I did.
She led me to a room that a lot of the staff was gathered in.
"Miss Trent is here!" She announced, and everyone turned and looked at me.
"You can just call me Annabelle or Anna, if you'd like." I said, but I wasn't sure if any one but Mi Sun heard me.
"Welcome, Miss Trent. Has anyone showed you around our building yet?" Mrs. Park asks me.
"No, not yet." I say as politely as I could.
"Hmmm. Mi Sun, will you-"
And then the door opens, and J-hope, Suga, and Jungkook enter, laughing.
They look up and Jungkook says, "Oops, I'm sorry, we didn't mean to interrupt anything." He bows and starts to leave, but Mrs. Park calls to him.
"Jungkook, can you and the boys show Miss Trent around our building please? We all need to discuss some plans."
Oh no.
J-hope answers, "Ne, of course Mrs. Park. Miss Trent, please follow us."
And I follow them out into the hallway.
"The other members are busy doing who knows what, so we will show you around, is that alright?" J-hope asks me. He seems to be doing all the talking right now.
"Yes, of course." I say, and bow
"Alright!" J-hope says in his sunshine voice. "Let's go explore!"
I follow the three boys down the hallways and through doors as J-hope tells me what and where every room is.
After a while, we end back up at the room I had first started in.
"That's our building! Do you have any questions?" J-hope asks.
"N-no. Thank you for showing me around! I very much appreciate it."
"You're welcome." Jungkook says, and Yoongi looks at him.
"You didn't even do anything." He says.
"But you didn't either." Jungkook retorts.
Yoongi raised his eyebrows. "What did you say?"
"Nothing, nothing."
Yoongi's cell phone buzzes, and he checks it.
"Namjoon wants us all to meet in the practice room." He says.
"Okay. We'll see you later Miss Trent!" J-hope says, and they all walk away, Jungkook nodding at me. Yoongi was busy on his phone, so he didn't look up.
I guess he doesn't really care...
I felt a bit of sadness rise up inside me as I watched them walk away.
Yoongi likes to keep to himself I guess.
