He turns around and see me quickly drying my tears

Taemin: A- are you crying?

He said while walking towards me in a concern way

Joyce: what do you mean if I am crying... of course I am —

He lift up my chin making me look at him

Taemin: I am fine.... look at me I became a rapper it's something that I have never dream o—

Joyce: You left your home..."I said quietly as a single tear fell". You left your family, your friends, you left a life that you are use too , that is a Huge Sacrifice..Only God knows what you Ben through

Taemin: and he knows that I was fine 

He quickly said as I dry my tears

Joyce-

Taemin: that is why I did not want to tell you any of this ... I don't like seeing you like this

Joyce: Taemin..."he looks at me" do you know how much I care about you .... my heart aches because I couldn't be there for any of your hardships.....so forgive me if I can't find Happiness even if you reach your Dream... cause to me that does not compare to the loneliness you must have felt, for the people you wanted to talk but couldn't or the ones you wanted to be next you but wasn't —

He looks me in my eyes

Taemin: your here now .. what do you want to do? 

I dry my tears while sniffing

Joyce: I-I want to take care of you, I want to cherish you, I want to love you ... I want to take away your guilt and loneliness "sniff"  I want to be there for you

I quietly say while sniffing

He gaze at my teary eyes while caressing my cheeks. He kept staring at me with his small eyes. Even if he is not saying anything, I can see his pain , all the Burden he put on himself ... for my sake... it makes me sad . 

I reach my hand out and caress his black hair as I slide it down  to his cheek. 

Joyce: "shaky voice" I really missed you 

He pulls me into a tight embrace and hold me in his arm.

   7: 00 Am   ☀️

I got up super early, with everything that is going on, I still manage to have a good night sleep , is it because Tae was next to me, or me and him being reunited ... I do not know . 

"Sit up and look at Sleeping Taemin"

A smile grew on my face, it's crazy to see him sleeping next to me. I caress his hair and start tracing his features with my index finger. He is such a beautiful person. Each time I admire him I get lost in his beauty.

My smile suddenly fade when I remember last night. Without wasting time, I got up, Cook a small breakfast for Tae. Took my shower Got Dress and walk out the building

• F L O W E R  S H O P •

I walk in the flower shop with the small courage I have  and start making my way to the cashier. To my surprise no one was there.

But I knew it wouldn't be long for someone to come. When he did , my heart sink . Now that I know the truth, it hurts to know that the reason that he seem reserve and act serious is because he does not like me.

I took a deep breath trying to keep my composure so I would not run out of here without saying what is on my heart. 

He slowly sat down on the chair that is infront of the cash register. He look at me waiting for me to purchase what I need. I close my eyes and clinch my fist , calming my nerve and finally open my mouth.

Joyce: I am here to talk to you sir

He looks at me shock

Mr Park: what for?

His voice shock me, it was the first time hearing his deep and husky voice.

Joyce: can we talk in private it's an important matter

He stare change, it's as if he knew what I was about to say to him. He stood up and walk away signing me to follow him.

We walk to the back of the store , there was a round table with three chairs we sat across from each other and silence fill the air. I pour for each other a glass of water.

MrPark: Thank you

Joyce: i know that it has to be frustrating for you to sit here and talk to me... so I will make it quick

Mr Park: —

Joyce: i don't know what I did for you to  hate me the way that you do ... but I may have an Idea why.. but I rather here it from you

Mr Park:  honestly I don't have any problem with you personally... but I rather for my son to Date in his culture

Joyce: "i swallow the pain" Okay... Why is that

I quietly say

Mr Park : that is how it is in my cultural, we stay pure and keep our heritage so we won't lose it. 

Joyce: ok ... so What if you learn about my cultu—

He cuts me off

Mr Park: I've learn enough about your culture, on TV , hearing it in music , the way they act

I bite my lower lips, and nod understanding where this is going

Joyce: Sir.. with all due respect, you don't know my culture and the way they represent it on TV is not the truth

Mr Park: It's not the Whole truth but it is some of it

Joyce:..okay..but my people are not use to have life as easy as others, everybody already think the worst by only seeing us , so when life get hard we have no choice but to find our own way out, I am not trying to justify the wrong choices that some of them made , but understand how bad our situation can be to push us to make bad decisions 

Mrpark: —

Joyce: I know that You probably won't change your mind about me... but I am here to say .. That I love your son very much "sniff"  and if I have it my way , I would love for you guys to be reunited, "sniff" and if ever I could earn your respect I will try my best 

MrPark: it is Just a preference

Joyce: but can you give me a chance ...I promise I have more to me than my color

MrPark ; I know .. but I have made mind

Joyce: then.. pleas give your son another chance..I'll make sure to stay out of your way
