Chapter 39: Taebaek

(This is going to be a shorter chapter than usual but I need to include this chapter to delve deeper into the Taebaek argument based around his grandmas now smashed jewellery box...)

(Omg lol I was searching Taebaek pictures to put at the top and I found out that Taebaek is a city in South Korea... like how did I not know this 😂)

Taehyung's POV

The second Baekhyun explained to me about him smashing the jewellery box I felt both extremely angry and upset.

However the emotion that started out at the forefront was unfortunately anger.

"What the fuck Baek!? How could you be so careless when you know how much that means to me!? I'm just so disappointed in you it just makes me feel like you don't care." I immediately lashed out with tears in my eyes.

"Of course I care Taehyung or I wouldn't be here bawling my eyes out begging for your forgiveness because it was such a stupid mistake and yes it seems like a careless thing to do but I feel so beyond guilty and sorry that I've done this." He was crying so much and he even got down onto his knees as if he was actually begging me.

"Baek oh my god stand up stop that, look I'm sorry for lashing out it's just you know how important that is to me... I just... I just need some space." I mumbled before I made anything worse.

He wiped his eyes and nodded before leaving taking the box of broken glass with him and leaving my house.

I felt bad, but I was mainly just extremely upset... it was the only thing my grandma left me and she meant so much to me before she died and still does.

It just made me imagine her out there somewhere watching me and feeling so disappointed and betrayed that I had so carelessly left her last possession I have in her memory out to just be broken.

Baekhyun's POV

So far, Jimin has been right about everything.

Now I just needed to follow his advice and think of something that would be so sweet and would blow him away so much that he would just have to forgive me.

And I already have a plan.

The first and most important step of that plan was to actually give Tae the space he needed to think through everything and just not bother him for a few days, but then that gives me time to work on the rest of my plan.

I just really hope Jimin is right about the forgiveness part of our phone call.

~ time skip ~

It had been enough time for Tae to think things through, I know this because even today he had texted me a few times asking how I was. So he must be feeling a little better now.

Which is also a great thing because now it's Saturday, and that means I can set my plan into motion.

I replied to his message asking if I could come over and talk with him to which he agreed that I should get to his around 3 ish, which was even more perfect for me than he'd ever have known.

On the way to Tae's was the first time I had been super nervous about what I had planned since... well since I planned it. But I knew it was going to go well, at least I really hoped so...

I took about 5 minutes just standing on his door step with my bag in hand using as many techniques as I knew that could help calm me down, before knocking on his front door.

When he answered he smiled sadly at me and it took everything in me not to just throw the plan out the window, burst into tears, and jump into his arms.
