There have been many theories given about the Spring Day MV, from "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" to the Sewol Ferry Tributes. There is one theory no one has ever explored. Why the Laundromat?
A Fan Fiction Theory...
We dropped the boys off on the corner of Ocean and Pine. In order to make plans for the day, I was given the knowledge that the boys will be meeting Mr. Warren G, but was under strict instructions not to let them know. Since Talayiah was only 6, I didn't feel the need to go into details about who Mr. G was so I just gave her simple instructions about staying out of the camera's view. I told her she will be sitting in the front seat with Carlos while I sat in the back with the boys to translate. She nodded in understanding.
We stood a few feet away from the boys while they filmed their meet up. Mr. Warren G drove up in a white SUV limousine and the boys were surprised when he greeted them. Soon after, we all packed into the limo and headed for VIP Records.
The filming at VIP went by pretty fast. We were able to find Talayiah a corner where she was able to stay pretty well hidden. V of course was a constantly distracted. I think the mere sight of her made his heart break but whenever she looked at him he'd immediately bring a smile to his face and do something silly to make her laugh.
While they were filming Warren G had bought the boys Long Beach caps so when we were wrapping up, Taehyung wanted to buy Talayiah one too. As he was picking out a hat, I went to check on Talayiah. Yoongi was standing above her and noticed she was asleep. "잠을 충분히 잘 못 자서 그런가보네 (Probably from lack of proper sleep,)" he mumbled while shaking his head in anger. I am not sure exactly how to describe Yoongi's relationship with Talayiah. He had this strange push and pull type of emotion towards her. It was as if he was really angry for what had happened to her and wanted to save her, but he was also hesitant and avoided her. I had asked him to carry her to the car but instead of picking her up himself, he called out to Kookie, "국아, 얘 잠들었어. 차로 데리고 가. (Kooka, take her to the car. She's fallen asleep.)"
Although Kookie was still a baby himself, he stepped up and acted like a proper 오빠 (Big Brother). He gently put one arm under her head and one under her knees, lifting her like a feather. I think he has always been a strong boy. Even now the boys share their fears of being punched by him.
Our next stop was 21st and Lewis. Although Kookie's gentleness did not wake Talayiah, the drive did. It was just too cramped in the front seat for her to have properly rested. Mr. G was kind. He suggested that Talayiah sit in the back so she could lie down and sleep. I told her I would be busy translating while the boys filmed so she would have to stay back with the limo driver and just rest. At that moment Jin climbed into the limo with a bag full of snacks he had packed for her. She jump at the sight of it and gladly took it.
"다음에 더 많이 사줄게, 알았지? (Slowly, I will buy you a lot more later, ok?)" said Jin as he patted her on the head.
Since Talayiah seemed pretty content there with all the food, V felt more reassured to leave her there. As we headed down the street, Jimin had counted heads and called out, "남준이 형 어디있어? (Where's Namjoon hyung?)" I look back and saw Namjoon closing the trunk of the film crew's van. He had jogged back into the limo. I told the others to go ahead, "제가 남준씨 찾아서 따라갈게요. (I'll get Namjoon and catch up.)" I walked back to the limo and poked my head in and saw the sweetest thing. Namjoon was sitting in the back of the limo with Talayiah snuggled up close. He was giving her a children's book to look at.
