Missing Fall-se

0-5

Turning the wheel to the right, and only five minutes away from my apartment. I went out to have time alone after a little argument with Taehyung and decided to go home after. He still doesn't want to talk about it.

As I turned off the engine and went out of the car, I held my phone and keys. My apartment is still on the fourth floor. With the thought of how high this building is, I can't wait to throw myself on the bed.

On my way to the elevator, my focus is on the phone, trying to contact Taehyung. I keep dialing his number and only receive nothing.

I stepped out once I reached the fourth floor and still trying to dial his number.

Living a simple life in a simple apartment, I didn't bother to find a great place since ako lang naman ang titira. My head facing straight to the door of my apartment while my right hand on my ear with my phone as it only kept ringing.

I stopped for a minute to find the right key when I noticed a presence around me. I tried to feel where that person is. And with my peripheral vision, I saw a half of his body, slowly showing himself.

I was with no one earlier in the elevator, so for sure he arrived first. I just ignored him and was about to unlock my door when I realized something.

I am really not close with my neighbors, but I know that no men are living on this floor. I only know one person, but he lives on the second floor.

He wouldn't come here, would he-oh shit!

Just like I thought, he is one of the people who came after me. I quickly open the door, went inside, and immediately shut it close.

Leaning at the back of the door, catching my breath as I roam around the surroundings, trying to find something to block the door.

I can still hear them, although his footsteps are quiet. He's two doors away. I didn't waste my time and immediately grabbed the chest drawer-

"Hey," I opened my eyes when I felt someone poking my face. It was Taehyung. "We're here."

I suddenly realized what just happened. I was in the car, Taehyung's car. The car's door is open, and he leveled his face with me.

I raised my hand to touch his face, and he gave a smile in response. I let out a sigh and touched each other's foreheads, panaginip lang pala.

"You okay?" I grabbed my phone and held his hand on the way inside. I just gave him a nod and a smile.

"Andito na ang mag jowa," Hoseok teased. I just rolled my eyes and sat beside Jeongguk. He then faced me and welcomed me with a smile. Taehyung sat beside me on my left side.

He rested his head on my shoulder, so I pulled my hair to the other side while his hand around my waist. "Gusto mo pang matulog?" I asked, rubbing his hand softly.

"Na miss lang kita," he whispered, but I think everyone heard it.

Seokjin was just observing us. I looked at him when he suddenly let out a small laugh while shaking his head. "Call me weird or what, pero namiss ko kayong dalawang maglambingan sa harapan namin," he said and raised his hand after to order.

"Tell me why these two are here beside me? But honestly, me too. Tuwing nandito tayo mararamdaman mo talaga yung kulang sa paligid natin eh." Jeongguk chuckled as he agreed to what Seokjin said.

"Then find someone." Jimin, who was sitting beside Yoongi and in front of Jeongguk, stated. He even raised his brows playfully.

"If only it were that easy," Jeongguk shook his head. I agree. Even I have him now, it still took me years to be opened up with people again and experience what true love really is.

Jimin then changed the topic and asked Taehyung about his life. I stayed quiet for a moment and let them have their always happy conversation. They were still talking even when the food was there. I faced the woman who always served our food and said thank you. I can see in her face how she also missed this kind of conversation when everyone is complete.

That woman is around in her 50's. She served this restaurant for almost 25 years, and she became a second mother to us. We call her mama. Mama was the one who helped me when I got lost in myself.

I was only fifteen at that time when my biological parents died. My mother died after she followed the voice. Before it happened, she gave me her necklace.

No one knows about the necklace except me. Not even mama knows about this.

I secretly held the necklace that was under my shirt as I remembered every word my mother said about this.

"Always keep that with you. It will protect you from that voice."

I got this weird ability from my mom, but mine's different from her. She can hear the voice, and I can see that voice.

It did protect me, but this thing failed to do its job when Taehyung left and went to South Korea. That was where I realized-

"You're spacing out." I faced to the left when Taehyung snapped his finger in front of me.

Everyone was already finished with their food and now taking a rest for our second stop for this day. We have a lot of things to catch up with Taehyung.

Minutes passed, and we decided to continue our plan for this day before it gets dark. Everyone went to their car since Seokjin forgot to use the van and brought his car instead. Seokjin is with Jeongguk and Namjun, while Hoseok is with Jimin and Yoongi.

I told them that I have to use the restroom for a moment and just wait for me outside. All went inside the cars as I made my way to the comfort room.

It didn't take more than 5 minutes and straightly went outside. "Oh- it's just you, Joon-ah" I held my chest when I saw Namjun beside the door standing, and probably waiting for me.

"You scared me! What are you doing here?" I asked while drying my hand with a towel.

He was standing there, hand on his chest and his back on the wall. "I was also using the restroom."

"Are you still going to continue what you were doing? He's literally here with us." he sighed while closing his eyes.

"Let's not talk about that here," I said and went to where mama is, saying our goodbyes.

"Joon-ah, huh? It's been a month." I heard him whispered to himself before following me outside.

I got inside the passenger seat and immediately wore the seat belt. "How's your grandma? Is she okay now?" I asked while looking for my phone. I tried to find it in my pocket but found a small card instead.

Seokjin leading the road, us in between while Hoseok's behind us, following where Seokjin would stop. We really didn't plan any place and just go with the flow. The first car will decide where our next stop is, and later the second car, which is us, will choose for the next. That's how we spend our time together.

"She's recovering now. She told me to say her regards to you. She really missed you."

"I also want to visit her. By the way, do you have my phone-" I was about to ask when I heard a notification in the back seat. I looked at the back and saw my phone there.

I opened my phone and received a message from Jeongguk in our group chat. He texted the address just in case we lost them. I told Taehyung about the address and quickly opened the GPS.

Before I forgot, I picked the card in my pocket and showed it to him. He glanced at it and went back to the road. "Is this yours?" I asked.

"What's that?" he asked back.

"Oh, it's the card from the restaurant." I lied.

Still holding the card in my hand and not taking my eyes off what it actually said. I silently broke it into half and threw it under this seat. I focused my attention on this day and just let the day be filled with happy memories.
