A week later we were getting ready to go to Japan for the first show of our tour.  Jen and Sarah were going to come out with us, see the first show in Fukuoka then fly out to Tokyo together before heading back to Seoul.  We had two shows in Fukuoka and then a week later in Fukui.  We were going to be staying the first two weeks of February in Japan as it just wasn’t worth going back to Seoul but then we would be going back as our next show wasn’t until mid-March and in between I needed to shoot my own music video. 

I was a bit pissed as our last show in Kobe was on Valentine’s day.  I don’t know if it was because it was my first Valentine’s day with someone who meant something to me, but I was in a bad mood about it.  Of course, I had no control over the schedules and these dates were planned well in advance even before I met Jen.

‘Babe, it’s just a day.  We will do something when you get back.’ Jen had told me when I realised what date the last show was.

She was so dismissive of the whole thing it actually made me more annoyed and cause us to have a fight.

‘Don’t be a child about it.’ She told me, when I was having my tantrum.

‘I’m not being a child.  Why don’t you give a ?’ I threw at her angrily.  She looked at me like she could have killed me.

‘Of course, I give a Taemin.  But it is one day.  It’s a made up fake holiday and I don’t need a day to remind me that I love you.’

She huffed out of the room leaving me to brood.  Of course, she was right.  Why did I need a day to remind me that I loved her.  It was just the idea of it that I was excited about, I had ideas and plans, but then they seemed to be destroyed in a second.

I found her about half an hour later angrily pushing the buttons on the remote control as if she had had a fight with the TV remote and not me. 

I had carefully placed my arms around her shoulders from the back of the sofa to whisper in her ear ‘You’re right.  I’m sorry’

We were fine after that, and she told me she did understand why I was upset, but we could do something the day after.

After the meal when Sarah met everyone, it seems her and Kyungsoo had struck up a kind of, friendship, I guess you could call it.  I wouldn’t say it was a relationship.  But he asked her if she would draw his mother for him, and therefore asked her if he could contact her sometimes.  Since then it seems they had talked a lot, but not a lot of drawing of his mother had been done.

Him and the rest of Exo were in the Philippines and then spending the rest of February in America.  I missed Jongin being around but part of me was glad Chanyeol wasn’t around, especially when I wouldn’t be. 

Sarah was excited to see us perform, since she hadn’t up close before.  Before I knew it we were all in Japan and preparing for the first night’s performance.
