I took my Black Audi and hit the road, today I have a job with Tyler which is going to be so awkward by the way. We had to steal this thumb drive from another gang which contains all their ‘work’ and data that we need to get our hands on. But before that happens I need to get some food in my stomach because I am starving. So as usual I made a detour to my favourite café. Upon reaching I parked my car smoothly by the pavement and went into the café. I contemplated for a while about what I was going to eat before making my way to the counter.

“Hi, what would you like to order today?”
“Hi, can a get a café mocha, chocolate chip cookies and a club sand-witch”
“That would be $13.40. Will you be paying with cash or card?”
Out of a sudden a hand shot out from behind me and I heard a really deep and y voice say “Card please and make it 2 of everything” I turned around and saw Taehyung smiling brightly at me. “Good morning”
“Morning, what are you doing here?”
“Getting food?” Taehyung replied like that was the dumbest question he was ever asked. I could only laugh and nod my head. “What are you doing today? Want to grab dinner together?”
“Sorry but I have things to do today”
“It’s okay. I’ll still be seeing you at the Christmas party won’t I” So just like that we talked for a little while before parting ways.

I met Tyler a few blocks away from the building where the enemy gang currently resides in. When Tyler saw me approaching, he kept quiet all the way looking down at the floor the whole time. I sighed as broke the silence saying “Look Tyler, even though I don’t return your feelings it doesn’t mean that we have to be, well… this way. I still love you as a friend okay?”
“Yea sure, come on let’s finish this. I will go in through the back and you go through the top, I will have your back so go look for the thumb drive once you’re in. Call me if anything happens. Here is your earpiece, check it first, and your favourite gun. The refills are here.” He passed me each item as he listed them out. From this I could see that Tyler has yet to let go of what happen and he just turned a deaf ear to whatever I said a minute ago. A sigh escaped my lips as I turn around and made my way towards the side of the building where I will have to climb up in order to get to the top.

Getting in was fairly easy and I found the thumb drive along with some other useless file, to me at least, and escaped without anything major happening. We met back outside the building before pushing a button which led to all the mini bombs that Tyler had planted while he was inside to explode. It’s a spectacular sight to behold, one day when I find those people I will do the same to them. Tyler walked over to me and took the items out of my hand saying “I will get this to the boss. Go ahead and leave first.” With that he turned and left without even a goodbye or waiting for my reply. I threw my hand up in the air not believing how he was acting now, I mean I know it to be rejected by the one you love but come on. We’re not 6 anymore, we are grown-ups who are 24 and 27. You know what if he wants to be like this then so be it, I’m not going to be his mother and tell him that it’s okay and everything will get better. Because the truth is that it hurts for now but he’ll get over me eventually when someone else walks into his life.

I strolled over to my car and pushed he start button before the engines roared to life and I speed off to who knows where. Maybe I should go home and take a nap before continuing my search. After driving around aimlessly for quite some time I decided that I would go home and take a nap. Upon reaching home I threw my weapon and other devices on my dining table before dragging myself into the room. I took a black with neon green lining shorts and my favourite hoodie since it was snowing outside, the hoodie was my favourite because it was grey with the word ‘ALPHA’ in red, which happens to be my most liked word in the dictionary. In the bathroom I stripped and saw the different wounds and scars that ‘adorn’ my body. My finger traced over each one and remembered how and when exactly I got them, nasty memories they are. Finally, I stop over the 2 new wounds that were still in the process of healing. I carefully peeled off the gauze pad from both and saw my flesh was bright red with a little pus on them, disgusting sight but it’s healing, although very slowly and it still hurts like a .

I stepped into the shower and turned the tap on, turning the knob to the warm side. I let the water caresses my body and flinch a little every time it touches the not so raw yet still raw gunshot wound. I got out of the shower and re-dress the wound before putting my clothes on and going back into the bedroom to dry my hair before tying my hair into a simple bun. I entered the kitchen and made myself some hot chocolate. The aromatic chocolate smell instantly lifted my mood and I hummed to a happy tune as I my laptop and the TV which happens to be broadcasting one of Celine Dion’s live concert, someone whose voice I happen to like. She also sang the song to one of my favourite movie ‘Titanic’. A true story of a poor guy who won tickets to the ship Titanic through poker and he meets this rich lady on board, the eventually fell in love but like every movie something is bound to go wrong. This ‘unsinkable’ ship hits an iceberg and soon the ship sinks and the guy dies while the lady survives. A lot more things happen in the movie but this is just the rough summary of the plot, I barely scraped the surface. I let the music play while I do some work on my laptop, and by work I mean tracking down people and the truth behind what happened about 1 and a half to 2 years ago. The sole reason for my existence.

Time flew by without me knowing and it soon strike 7pm. I looked up from my laptop and raised my hands up in the air to stretch. I shut my laptop before standing up to see what food I have in the fridge. Turns out I have nothing, I groan and slam the fridge door shut. This means I have to change into warmer clothes and drive out to the nearest supermarket to get some food for myself. I wore a long sleeve, a red wool sweater on top and jeans. With a heat pack in my hands I was ready to leave but just as I passed by my dining table I figured that leaving my gun, spare bullets and earpiece on the table openly wasn’t a good idea. So I stuff the gun in my pants, who know when I’ll need it, and store the other items in the drawer in my bedroom. Now I am good to go.

-In the supermarket-

I pushed a trolley as I walk down the aisle taking the different foods and placing them into the trolley. I have gotten everything from vegetables to snacks, I didn’t get much because I don’t know when I’ll suddenly need to leave for a long time and I used to say at the hideout with the rest of the gang. Until recently I sort of ‘moved’ back into my own house. I guess I realised I played around too much with the gang and it wasn’t getting me anywhere with the main reason why I was here in the first place. I’ve done much more today as compared to the past few months that I stayed back in the hideout. I made payment and drove home quickly. When I reached home I packed all the food into the fridge and cupboards and got a pan sizzling hot. I decided to make simple kimchi fried rice and a side of sweet and sour pork. The night ended early for me as I went straight to bed after finishing my dinner.

The next few days passed by really quickly and before I knew it the day of the Christmas party had arrived. I wore a silver flowy dress that at my mid-thigh, I had on minimal make up and to finish my look I was going to wear a 2 inch silver strap on that exposed my toes and some other parts of my feet. I counted all the presents for everybody again just to make sure I didn’t miss out any in the room, as well as checking my small red purse to see if I had brought my necessity with me. I had decided to leave my gun and weapons behind, after all I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t need them in Namjoon house. Taehyung call me to the lobby of my apartment and I had to lug all the plastic bags down myself, after which Taehyung will be down there waiting to assist me. I walked out into the shivering cold towards Taehyung’s car when I saw him coming to a stop by the curb. “Are you crazy! Walking out into the cold like this?” I heard Taehyung call out to me as he rushed over to give me a hand. Once we were settled down in the nice warm car he gave me a good lecture about how I shouldn’t be out in the cold without my winter jacket as it was almost -8 degree Celsius out.

Taehyung POV

That girl must have a death wish! Coming out in nothing but her silver dress, didn’t she think of wearing her coat out? “It was just a short distance from the building to your car plus I didn’t want to ruin my outfit” *really?* I thought to myself. This girl has once again managed to make me speechless with her simple actions. I Shook my head slightly and reached to the back seat the find my baseball jacket for her to wear, the one which my grandma had made for me. “Put this on and stay close to the car’s heater, I don’t want you to fall sick” I said as I passed her the jacket. She mumbled a quick thanks before outing it on and snugging close to it. “Hey it smells like you, minty” she commented and nuzzle her nose closer into my jacket “Silly girl, of course it smells like me. It is my jacket” She chuckled and leaned back against the seat. “You can take a rest first if you want, you seem like you need the shut eye.” She looked back at me and said “And you don’t?” She must have noticed the eye bags and black eyes, I can’t help it. For the past few days we had been caught up in the case which we have yet to solve and it’s really getting on my nerves. “Oh before I forget, I need to head over to my grandma’s for a little. It’s Christmas and I want to be there for her before going to the party, you’re okay with that right?”

Minjung hummed and nodded her head. “Trying to be a filial grandson I see. The won’t we be late for the party?”
“It’s fine, I’ve told Namjoon hyung and every year I go late because I spend time with my grandma before going over. They’re used to it”
“Then what happens after you leave? Does she get your other relatives over?”
“No, she goes to sleep. My relatives hardly come over to visit her anymore, so she’s kind of the closes family I have”
Minjung nodded in understanding and puffed her cheeks, if only she knew how irresistible she looks right now. Making me have to take a lot of effort not to lean over and kiss her. “Since we are going to your grandma’s I want to get her a present. There is a shop that sells really good Ginseng just down the street, if you could stop there then I can get her something.”
“Okay firstly, you don’t have to get her something so expensive and second why are you talking so formally to me? We just have not met in a few days and you’re acting like this is the first time were hanging out.” Minjung stayed silent as she thought of how to reply, she kept opening and closing . I sighed and told her that it’s okay and I just wanted her to be comfortable around and just act like she usually does.

Shortly after we arrived, I covered her with my coat when we exited the car. We stepped in and looked around the shop filled with all sorts of Ginsengs, I couldn’t tell one from the other but Minjung expertly told the staff what kind she wanted. This made me think that maybe she often bought Ginseng either for herself or as a gift. She also picked out a red and golden quilt which was quite thick. “Minjung, I think you’ve gotten enough. This is the first time you’re seeing her and you’re purchasing so many things?” She shrugged her shoulders “Elderly needs more attention and love” When she said that it somehow warmed my heart, people who care for the elderly and children are just so attractive. It shows that they have a big heart and care for others. At that point I couldn’t have fallen for her more than I’m already head over heels for her.

We managed to stuff everything with the rest of the presents and once again hit the road. When we arrived at my grandma’s house I did the same thing, cover Minjung with my coat, before going back for the presents. My grandma welcomed Minjung warmly and totally ignored me which made Minjung chuckle under her breath. “Dear, you are really pretty, our Taehyungie is so lucky to have met you.” Minjung rubbed her neck in embarrassment and said that my grandma must have been really herself back in the days. “Ah Taehyung’s halmeoni I’ve brought you some gifts, I hope you enjoy them” My grandma looked shocked and told Minjung that she didn’t have too and that she could call her like her own grandma.

My grandma invited us into the living room to talk. “Taehyung go and get us some tea while Minjung-shi and I talk more” Taehyung look appalled at his grandma’s request. “Halmeoni you’ve been ignoring me and now the first thing you say to me is for me to get tea? I thought I was your little prince” I replied back and unconsciously pouted a little. “You are but Minjung here is more important that you now so go go” I huffed and left to get some tea, when I got back I heard the 2 of them laughing. “What’s so funny?”
“Nothing, we were just talking about you” Minjung said and winked at my grandma. We chatted and drank tea while my grandma continued to ask Minjung more about herself and how was I treating her and even mentioned that if I ever bullied her she would kick my . Can you believe that? My own grandma teaming up with an outsider.

“So when are the 2 of you going to get married?” That question alone made both me and Minjung choke on our tea. “Halmeoni we’re not together” I whispered harshly under my breath as I felt my cheeks started to burn up. I looked over to Minjung and she too was fanning her red face. “You’re not? Why? It must be because Taehyung isn’t treating you well right?”
“Taehyung is a great guy but we just met”
“I see, it’s because of this. But you can still get together right?”
“Halmeoni!” I called out and signal for her to stop embarrassing me.
“Fine, I’ll stop. Taehyung so what did you get your dear grandma for this Christmas?” I rolled my eyes and smiled. “You said the heater in your room seems to be spoilt so I got you a new one. One that can help in both winter and summer. In the winter it becomes a heater and in the summer it cools off your room. The best part is that is produces fresh oxygen which is something that you need a lot of”

“Thank you my dear boy, could you help me fix it up?” I nodded my head and stood up.

Minjung POV

Just as I was about to stand up and go help Taehyung with the setting up, his grandma held me back. She held my hands in hers and told me “Minjung-shi, though I’ve only known you today I can tell that you are a wonderful girl. Our Taehyung is so lucky to have met you. I know sometimes he can be such a child but I assure you he is the nicest boy you’ll meet, he will treat you right and love you in every way possible. I’m not saying this because he is my grandson but I can see the both of you being perfect for each other. You may think I’m weird but I can confidently tell you that there must be something special about you that have caught our little prince’s eye, after all you are the first girl he brought home. Promise me that even if you don’t get together you’ll still stay by him and hold onto his hand, this boy didn’t have it easy but he never gave up. Guide him. But if you do get together, promise me that you’ll love him and care for him. Be with him through up and downs and I know he’ll do the same. Promise me won’t you?”

I look down into Taehyung’s grandma’s eyes I at that point I knew that everything she had said was true, although I haven’t know Taehyung for long but even I myself know that he is just a wonderful boy. Which is why maybe I should stay away from him, for his own good. He has a loving grandma who’s whole world is him and friends who would lay down their life for him. I shouldn’t be selfish, they are going to come for me someday. When that happens, I want him to be as far away from me as possible. “Halmeoni, I promise you. Even if we end up going our separate ways I will watch over him silently” I smiled and Halmeoni did too. I glance over to Taehyung who was still setting up the heater, I started to feel my heart ache, from both happiness and pain, the more I look at him. Kim Taehyung, what would be the ending of our story? Will we be together? Or will we say goodbye?
