Aquiver | Taehyung

Chapter:33

"Merry Christmas!"Everyone shouted in the room happily.

We were in our house with some of the relatives we've invited for the Christmas party.The house was decorated beautifully with the lights and happy songs were being played in the background.There were several gifts wrapped under the Christmas tree that was decorated with colourful lights.The snow was continuously falling peacefully outside while some of us were dancing,singing,playing charades and some other were drinking and eating foods mom prepared.

It's the same thing every year.We all gather and celebrate with joy.At end celebrations is what brings all of us together.I thought i wouldn't be able to join all of them this year but Mrs.kwon,my aunty was generous enough to let me come here and I think she has already arrived in Seoul which means I no longer have to look after the restaurant but she was talking about if I'm interested there's a vacant place for the job.

As mom promised me,she visited me in the Seoul with dad and Jisung.We visited different places in Seoul,it was special because we did lots of shopping and bought gifts there.They met Jennie and Inha too and visited the Kwon's Restaurant as well.I can't explain how glad I was that time to have all the people I love alot.

Though I felt like a part of me was missing.

It reminds me of the conversation I had with mom a few days ago.

"Baby!Are you Okay?"she asked softly.

"Yes mom,why would you think like that."I tried to smile at her,the most genuine I could give at that time.

"Baby,Don't lie to me!I'm your mother and I know everything.Is it about Jaehyun?"she asked again holding back the tears she had in her eyes.

She knew everything.

Everything that happened to me. Suddenly I felt so bad looking at her like that.How could I lie to her?When she was by side in my first heartbreak.She has already suffered seeing me so broken and I'm lying to her again?I felt like I couldn't be her good daughter.

But It wasn't about Jaehyun this time.

"I'm sorry Mom!"

"Don't be sorry,love!Everything takes time and I know you will be okay soon."she ruffled my hair affectionately,the thing she does every time.It's in her trait to do things like this.

Maybe a motherly thing.

"Mom!Why do some people leave us?"I asked her instead holding back the tears.

She was taken aback by what I asked but she smiled and began,"It's because God has a plan for everything and everyone.You know,you can't hold them to stay in your life forever.Either they will leave you or you will leave them because their journey with you is limited to that time and Maybe they didn't have any significant roles to play in your coming future so God makes them leave your life so that you could meet new people and the cycle continues.But there maybe some people who will stay in your life from the beginning till the end because they are inseparable or you can say they have their roles to play in your life till you are together."she smiled sadly.

It wasn't pity in her eyes but something that warms your heart from the inside and tells you that you're not alone,something that screams silently that everything is going to be okay.

The conversation made me feel as if a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.I felt a positive vibe and all thanks to Mom.She is always someone I can turn to for advice.

"Don't you've plans with Taehyung hyung?"Jisung appeared out of nowhere startling me.

"None of your business."I chastised before going in the kitchen to put all the glasses where drinks were served.

I would be lying if I didn't felt as if my heart clenched at the mention of his name.

"It is Haneul and by the way I could join too.I'm excited to meet him again."he chimmed trailing behind me.

"As if I'll let you meet him."I scoffed before turning towards him but he just showed me his wide grin.

"Oh I forgot to tell you,I met him when we're in Seoul but he was with some other noona."

I raised my eyebrow looking at him giving a hint what does he mean by that?

"I think he didn't even see me so i couldn't actually talk to him."instead he shrugged his shoulders as if disappointed.

"Maybe he was ignoring you."I sarcastically replied before patting his shoulders jokingly.

"How mean!I know hyung would never do that to me."he folded his hands before joining the other who were calling him to play charades in the living room.

I wish he would never do that to you,Jisung.I sadly smiled reminiscing the memory when we visited the festival.A part of me thinks what if he was ignoring?Ignoring on purpose?But I know he wouldn't.Taehyung I know would never do that but who am i to judge him anyway,I never thought he would do this to me but he did.

Noona?

He was with a girl?I can't help but over think,the thing I'm good at.Even if he was,there's nothing I should be involved about.Not when we've separated our ways.
