Mr. Arrogants
25

I slowly entered the house and closed the door behind me. I turned to the living room and I was confused to see my mother crying. I pulled my bag pack into the house, approached my mother.

"How!" he cried and he cried very hard, while Dad sat next to him patting Mom on the back.

"Eo-eomma what's wrong?" I asked and

my parents looked at me.

"H-Hyejin ah..." Dad took a breath.

I looked at him confused, but they said nothing.

"What happened?" I raised my voice, frustrated that I didn't know what was going on.

"Heyjin... Halmeoni.died" said Mother in between her cries.

I dropped my bag pack and looked at him in shock.

"W-what? I don't believe you!" My breath was hunting fast, tears were starting to catch my eyes, my lips were shaking, and I was about to faint.

"... His neighbors contacted us and told us about this. He also had a disease that weakened his endurance, and now he. he can't fight it and he's dead" my father explained.

I collapsed to the floor, crying loudly.

"It's all your fault! We should have visited Halmeoni back then!" I screamed at my mother.

My mother did not respond to me and kept crying.

"Your son is right. Why are you putting your job first?" My father talked to my mother.

"Shut up!" my mom said to my dad, "What's more you

know to blame me?!"

"I'm just telling you the truth, what's wrong with you?!" My father yelled at my mother.

They fought again, and I was very disappointed.

"STOP!" I interrupted with anger. "THE TWO OF YOU ARE THE WORST PARENTS! Halmeoni just died and you two are still fighting about stupid things! Why don't we love each other as a family?!"

I looked at them and my tears fell. I stomped my feet out of the house and ran, crying. I want to go home to rest, but I'm back to chaos.

I let out a breath. I'm so tired.

I pulled out my phone and sent Taehyung a message.

"Can we meet? I feel so down right now." - Hyejin.

I got to the park and sat on the bench, checking my phone.

"Okay, I'm going to the park now." - Taehyung.

Tears still flowed down my cheeks. I just can't believe Halmeoni died. I dialed her number on my phone and called her.

"Halme... Please lift..." I muttered to myself.

There was no response. What Halmeoni really doesn't

going back?

I broke off the call and buried my face between my hands.

"Heyjin ah!" Taehyung called out to me, running towards me, gasping.

Before I could explain anything, he sat down next to me, carrying his arms around me, hugging me very tightly.

"T-Taehyung-song..." I continued in the back.

"Shhh, don't say anything more. You need to calm down first" she said, still trying to stabilize her breath while hugging me.

"Halmeoniku died" I said in a raucous voice.

I pulled away, wiping away my tears. "I'm sorry, I'm so sad. I just don't want to go home now. My parents are fighting again" I said.

I sat up, straightened my back. "Well, you want to go where I was?" tanyakanya.

"No. weren't your parents home?" I said.

"They're going home, but they're not home yet. Come on," he said and pulled me.

...***...

We arrived at his house and I dropped myself on the sofa, sighing. I closed my eyes slowly and tears fell back on my cheeks.

"Why are you still crying?" Taehyung asked and sat down next to me.

"Halmeoniku, there is no one else I love more than him. But now he's gone and I can't see him," I explained, sounding a little strange, "I have no one else but him right now."

I slowly smiled at him. We went back to talking for a while, and I can tell you that I feel better after talking to her.

"It's been a long time, I have to go home" I said and checked the time, it's almost seven in the evening.

"You sure you want to go home? You gonna be okay?" Taehyung asked.

I'm nodding. I stood up and wanted to get out when I suddenly saw a luxury car parked in front of the house. "Is that your parents?" I asked Taehyung.

We looked at each other.

"My parents will kill me if they see me carrying a girl," Taehyung said and swallowed. We quickly ran to Taehyung's room.

I hid in his walk-in closet while he pretended to rest in his room.

I peeked out of my hiding place and saw Taehyung's mother.

"Taehyung ah," he called and Taehyung went up to him to hug him. "Let's have dinner." I heard Mother Taehyung talking and they came out of the room.

I let out a breath. I interrupted Taehyung's quality time with his family.

...***...

An hour or so later, I fell asleep on the floor.

"Hey... Jinnie Pabo." A voice

woke me. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Taehyung. I slowly sat down and rubbed my eyes.

"My parents came out again because they had a wedding invitation in America in two days but they were going on vacation as well so I don't think they're going to be at home for a long time" Taehyung said.

"Well, they're on vacation together. My parents didn't even celebrate their wedding day" I said and sighed.

Taehyung pulled me out of the walk in closet and I stood in front of him, my eyes still sleepy.

"You're going home yet?" Taehyung asked

at me.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't have to know where, but I'm going to go now" I said and wanted to get out of the house as he gently held his hand and flipped to face her.

"Don't go" he said. "If you don't mind staying I don't care if you're here, just for today. I'm not sure you're ready to go home."

I stared at him for a while before smiling strangely. "Thank you" I said and quickly threw my body onto the bed.

"Hey! That's my bed!" Taehyung started whining.

I slowly chuckled "Araseo, I'll sleep on the floor."

I headed to the bathroom to perform a bedtime ritual and changed my school uniform into a red sweater and pajama pants with a cute donut motif that Taehyung lent me. Very big but I like big clothes.

I went back to Taehyung's room and lay down on the cold, hard floor. Taehyung also walked into his room wearing a plain T-shirt with banana-patterned pajamas.

"You crazy? How can you sleep on the floor?" said.

"Where am I sleeping?" muchu while

tie my hair into a ponytail style. "In my bed. I'll sleep in the room

my parents," he said.

I'm nodding. He went out and closed the door. I dropped myself on a comfortable bed and covered my body with warmth, a comfortable blanket. The blanket pillow, everything smelled like Taehyung.

All the lights were off except for the table lamp next to the bed. I stared at it while still thinking about my grandmother. Again, I cried myself to sleep.

...***...

At about one in the morning, I woke up and felt someone holding my hand.

I blinked to see who it was. Taehyung sat next to the bed, his head leaning on the bed, asleep. I saw his hand holding my hand. Should I pull my hand? What's he doing here?

I cleared my throat and he woke up soon. "What are you doing here" I asked.

"Uh, oh uhm." she pulled her hand from me, "I forgot my singing doll."

he grabbed his lion doll and stood up. "Sorry, good night." He said and quickly got out of the room.

I looked at him confused.

Why is he here? Holding my hand ?
