she came back after almost a month. i waited for her at the airport and as soon as we met, it was obvious she couldn't look me in the eye.
she came back along with her mother and her father. and i couldn't act properly as her mother stare at me with her forehead creased. she didn't like me, i could tell.
what's next was a bunch of apologies from mina. "i'm sorry i couldn't tell you sooner." she said. "and, i'm afraid i can't come with you today jeongyeon, i'm so sorry." i could tell she was deeply sincere, and how could i not accept that? "it's just for a couple of days, or weeks--"
"weeks?" i asked surprised.
"just until they leave. i promise i'll come home soon." her eyes were pleading.
jimin arrived to pick them up, and i was alone again.
i wasn't sad for having to wait for another week for her. it was the fact that she couldn't bring herself to introduce me to her family even just as a friend. i know it's complicated, but i couldn't help it.//
