Today Is Not The Day
The Golden Ticket To Willy Wonka's FactoryI was not sure if I would be able to update this week but it seems I managed somehow :D
Anyhow, enjoy!!!
This was probably the most awkward lunch at the Kims; it wasn't like nobody had anything to say, but they all had, except that it wouldn't have been to the right person or appropriate. Tae Gi kept turning his eyes from his plate to the guest at their table, who happened to be seated across from him. He opened his mouth to say something but shut it right back.
Smart boy, his mother thought, giving him a subtle smile.
The tension around the table was inevitable, and, unfortunately, no one had an idea how to end it.
His mother had tried by asking the girl about her parents, about where she'd been staying. The girl had answered whatever she was asked and more.
"I guess I just missed home. London is good, but I missed everyone, this is my home,” she laughed slightly.
"Then you're going back to school?" Hae Lye asked, not attempting to hide her displeasure of the girl’s intrusion on their family outing at the golf center.
They were having lunch in one of the restaurants at the golf center because Tae Gi had insisted on it instead of eating somewhere else. And because no one wanted a whining Tae Gi, they’d given in. If they had known, if Hae Lye had known, she would have demanded on going to another restaurant even with Tae gi’s whining, it would have been better than this.
"Your brother and I will be seeing a lot of each other," the girl nodded, her smile never leaving her face.
She continued to chat with their mother while her eyes shifted to the empty chair spot next to her. She knew that Taehyung had come along, the whole Kim family was present today, they were one of the VIPs at the golf center, okay so it belonged to the Kim family and maybe she had found out through some sources that they’d be here today and she had hoped to run into the said boy, but he was nowhere in sight although his seat appeared to have been occupied a while ago, and so did the seat next to his, the one she was sitting in. Whoever the person was, they had left an uneaten chocolate cake which indicated their return and she hoped whoever the person was would come after Taehyung showed up or else it would be even more awkward that the small talk about the weather in London.
What she didn’t know was that the person she was waiting for had just seen her and had not made any effort to approach the table. Taehyung had seen her the minute he had rounded the corner and heard her laughing, - he would recognize that laugh from anywhere- and had stopped in his tracks. His feet had become one with the dark green carpet on the floor and his heart stopped beating for a moment, his hands were running cold and he felt sick.
Without thinking, he had pulled out his phone and dialed the number he had called so many times in the last few months. The phone rang twice before a voice picked up.
“Hyung…” the boy stammered before the voice could utter a word. He was not sure what he was trying to say, but he hoped that his Hyung would understand him without having to say much.
“Taehyung-ah, what’s the problem?” Of course, he would understand. This was not the first time he had called his Hyung and began the call in such a state, most of the times he had been in a far worse state than this.
“Hyung,” he repeated again unable to say anything else. His mind was in chaos and he just wanted to throw himself out of one of the big glass windows to stop the pain that was running through every cell of his body.
He heard someone call his Hyung in the background and the latter sighed. “Hold on Tae,” the boy said and before he could protest and tell his Hyung to stay with him, he heard nothing but murmurs and then his Hyung was back again.
“Tae, where are you? Are you still-“
“Hyung, she’s here,” Taehyung said, his voice barely above a whisper and had the other not been listening intensely he would have missed it.
“Who is there?” came the question right away.
It was quiet for a moment until the other asked again. “Tae, who is there?”
