The whole afternoon I couldn't concentrate on my work. I kept thinking about what Mr. Halsey said. Taehyung had a brother or sister that he didn't know about.
I sat at my desk dazing out the window. When I heard my phone buzzing. It's Halmoni.
"Halmoni hi how are you?" I answer.
"Gwihan..how you? I haven't heard from you?"
"Oh I'm ok Halmoni. Things could be better" I get up and close my office door for some privacy.
"Oh? Talk to me Gwihan. I know something wrong. I talk to Yeon-in today and he not talk long. He said talk to you"
"Well Halmoni, we've been having a hard time lately"
"How so?"
I take a deep breath and feel the sting in my eyes.
"Gwihan??"
"Yes, today is my first day back. I lost our baby Halmoni. I was pregnant and I miscarried. I feel so alone, Taehyung has been so distant with me. I don't know what he's feeling. He hasn't really talked to me about it. I miss him so much and I don't know if he's attracted to me anymore. We haven't had sex since and that's so unlike him. I'm probably rambling on too much but the only one I have to talk to is Jimin."
I burst into tears.
"Shhh Gwihan..it ok. I know Yeon-in
He love you. You need to not worry. Heal yourself first. You a strong woman without Yeon-in. Let me tell you story. I knew a girl just your age. She go through same thing. Her husband not talk to her after. He not touch her. And they would rattle headboard alot you know? But after this happen he act like he not love her no more.
So she sat him down, made him listen to how she feeling, because he was being a stubborn goat. He not touch her, he thought he was the one who hurt her. He was wrong. He hurt her by not touching her. After they talk he couldn't keep hands off her."
"So she had to make him listen to her? That's what I need to do. He needs to hear how I feel."
"Yes my Gwihan, and know I told no one that but you"
"Thank you Halmoni. Thank you for sharing that with me. "
"Talk to Yeon-in, make him listen. He stubborn goat like his Halabeoji"
"I will. I promise. Thank you so much for calling"
I hung up the phone feeling a bit better, knowing I would talk to Taehyung when we had a moment alone together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That night I was exhausted and didn't feel like cooking so Taehyung dropped me off and went to pick us up some Chinese.
I took a shower while he was gone.
By the time he got home I was already changed in my comfy clothes.
"Would you like to watch a movie?" I ask wrapping my arms around him.
"You're not going to like my answer" he groans.
"Why? what's the matter?" I pout.
"I just got a call, I have to go back to the office. Those files that were supposed to be uploaded this afternoon to the Japan client, didn't go through. I have to go redo them"
"What? Now? It's 7:30 can't you just wait until the morning?" I whine.
"If I could I would, but no...it's needs to be done tonight" he says grabbing his coat.
"I seem to have gotten more attention from you when I was your assistant" I huff
"Ivy don't say that" he says touching my cheek.
