6/6/18
i wheeled you out to the front entrance. it was sunny, with clouds overhead.
you smiled as the sun hit you. kyung tae was in your lap. he started to bounce.
you talked to the valet, then he grabbed the keys to your car.
a red hyundai palisade rolled up.
"so you bought the car that i promoted?"
you shrugged. "it was nice."
i rolled my eyes and laughed. i helped you out of the chair and into the passenger seat. you wanted to drive, but i wouldn't let you. i strapped kyung tae into his carseat in the back.
i drove through the streets of daegu, hoping to get you home as fast as possible.
we reached the pharmacy and the halmeoni was still on the street.
"halmeoni!" jang mi called out.
"oh ne, jang mi?"
"this is tae hyung! the one that abandoned me!" she pointed to me.
"you really gotta defame me like that?" i whispered, while the halmeoni was watching us walk up the steps.
she shrugged, "your punishment."
"hit him darling, he has everything to lose." she joked.
"i might just do that halmeoni. see you later." she waved. "you hear that taehyung? i have slapping rights!" she said excitedly.
"let's just get you inside." i pushed her through the door gently. "come on kyung tae, appa's going to make us food."
which i did not. because i can't cook. you know that.
so we ordered chinese!
it was peaceful, us eating in silence. that was because kyung tae was in his bedroom.
"jang mi, i'll be leaving tomorrow night."
"cool." she looked indifferent. "you can sleep in the guestroom." she took a drink of water.
"really jang mi~?" i acted cute.
she scowled. "stop. the aeygo disgusts me."
i laughed. "you know you love it." i ate some rice.
she closed her eyes tightly. "i can't fall in love with you again."
"that was out of the blue." i said. i put down my chopsticks.
"please, i can't go through what i went through four years ago."
"jang mi. i promised kyung tae that i would take care of you guys. why don't you believe that?"
"because you didn't before."
"do you trust me?" i asked.
"honestly? maybe." she didn't look me in the eyes.
"then you'll have to believe that i will take care of you. after tour i—i'll quit the band."
jang mi made eye contact. "i don't believe that."
"well, we're going to break up anyway. jimin's with adriana, jungkook's with caroline, and the other boys have other... passions."
"we haven't announced it, but this will be our last tour."
"i don't think it's fair for you to leave them taehyung,"
"i think that's a bit hypocritical. i left you for them, and now that i'm trying to leave them for you, you don't want me to. jang mi, i told you, the band is breaking up." i picked up some chicken.
she sank into her chair. "for me?"
"sure. we all have our reasons. bang pd-nim understands that we need to move on. he's letting us out of our contracts."
"well that makes me feel so much better." she picked up broccoli with her chopstick and shoved it into her mouth.
please believe me jang mi. i will always love you.
