~The Move to Korea~

21.

BIG ASS TIME SKIP~~

It was her...my mother...standing in the window of my room. A part of me wanted to jump out of my car and to her embrace while the other knew she had died and was in the ground in China. God, I loved her but I can't go back into that house.

"Tae can we go to your house tonight?"

"Why?"

"Pleaseeeeee," I pout.

"But it's only 5 o'clock!" Taeyong whines back.

"Come on Tae, Please?"

"Well...a few weeks before we had gotten married I...bought a house for the both of us and I had moved all of my stuff there. I was just waiting for you to bring up the topic,"

"Can I go see it? Can I, Can I, Can I?"

"Yes, we can go,"

Taeyong put my car in reverse and back out of my driveway. We passed a lot of areas that were familiar like the mall, the ice cream parlor, and the park. I just kept quiet and watch all the scenery go by. Time goes by quickly as Taeyong slows down and turns left into a paved that was unknown to me. I look up and my eyes were bigger than my fists. Of course, I was overwhelmed by the house Taeyong brought me to.

"Is that...?"

"Felix is waiting for you as soon as you go in,"

"Huh? Not staying?"

"Yeah, I have to go take care of something but I'll be back in time for dinner,"

"Okay," I say and start walking away as he pulled off.

I walk in and gazed at the interior of the new house, noticing Felix wasn't there I started walking having no idea where I was going.

"Felix? Felix? FELIX?!" I shout out loud looking around.

"Come with me,"

He took me into different room and stood there holding my shoulders as he spoke.

"Look, I just wanted you to know that I'm here for you and if your heart is broken and needs to be fixed to come to me,"

"But...I'm now married and I have a child by Tae,"

"You...you just wait till' he tells you the truth,"

"What are you trying to say?"

"What I'm trying to say is...to wait and I'll be here for you,"

Felix left me confused as I'll ever be. What did he mean by "Wait till' he tells you the truth" ? Why is he saying this when I don't even understand what's happening.

"Hey Felix! Wait!" I say running out of the room and looked around for him.

Once I spot the Aussie I jog up to him. I repeat his name about four times until I lose my patience with him and grab his wrist in order to stop him from walking away from me.

"FELIX!" I shouted.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything,"

"What do you know that I don't?"

"It's Taeyong..."

"What is it and who else knows?"

"Minho, Chan, Changbin, Xiumin, Lay and Chanyeol know..."

"How come you're not tell me?! Is it that serious? Does he want a d-divorce?" I say tired of the stalling.

"No, but you will,"

"So, I take it that you want me to find out by myself?"

"No...I just have no idea how to put this,"

"Well, how are you going to tell me?"

"...Guys!"

Out of nowhere Minho, Chan, Changbin, Xiumin, Lay and Chanyeol walk towards me. Chanyeol looks at me like he's about to cry along with Xiumin.

"Hey...You guys okay?" I say going up to them with a worried look on my face.

"Lay you tell her!" Changbin persuaded.

*From here on out Lay and Li speak in Chinese to each other*

"You guys stay her and I'll talk to Li, Okay?"

They say nothing as Lay leads me down the stairs and into the living room and makes me sit down on the couch as he sits in front of me on the floor.

"Please tell me, Please,"

"Look at me...Know that I am here for you okay?" Lay says as I nodded and he took my hands in his. "Wendy, from the wedding, Do you know her?"

"Yea from Red Velvet,"

"Taeyong is...Aish! He's cheating on you with her,"

"What?"

I let the previous words sink in and I understand clearly what was happening. I should have seen it coming. No one ever loved me except for Bobby and my mom. And I hated the fact I had waited for it every day after he asked me to be his girlfriend. I knew way too well that it was going to happen any day now.

"Can you guys leave?"

"We can go outside but we are not going to leave you here,"

I nod in agreement as Lay goes back upstairs. I sit there lonely as ever and my brain was trying to comprehend what he did and why he did it.

"Hey Li...?"

"Huh?"

"We are going to leave so you can have a moment to yourself," Chan said giving a sad smile in my direction.

"The studio is upstairs on the left," Lay says quietly.
