Min Yoongi and You were bestfriends who parted when they were young and failed to communicate. Yoongi pursued his dreams and you pursued yours. Both of your childhoods buried at the back of your head, never once looking back until fate decided to give you and Yoongi another chance.
You were passing by designer shops on the street near your apartment, your heels clicking on the concrete as you walked. Five? No, ten shopping bags divided equally between your two arms as you strode closer to your building. Yes, your building.
You owned it after all, you are a very successful woman at the age of eighteen. Youngest CEO in south korea. Owning a booming fashion brand AND having a company that could offer anything - from video games to food chains. You had it all.
You walked through the glass doors of your building as your secretaries, Min Ho and Lee In, assisted you to your room.
“Miss Y/N, you’ll be meeting your parents tomorrow at noon.” Min Ho stated as he pushed the button if the elevator going up.
As if on cue, they both answered “At noon.” They looked at each other - then to me and smiled sheepishly.
I chuckled at them. Min Ho and Lee In are one of my closest friends - since we are always together. Whenever we try to be formal with each other it just feels awkward and we end up laughing.
We got off the 24th floor, right below the rooftop. As we walked to my room they updated me of upcoming meetings and other important events I should review. I bid them my farewells and entered my room.
I looked at my watch - 8:23, still early. So I decided to work for a while before I went to sleep and prepare for my trip to Daegu tomorrow. After finishing reviewing 4 project proposals and 2 sales updates I looked at the time and realized I WAS LATE.
I got up on my feet and ran to pack and wash - up at the same time. I was brushing my teeth as I stuffed my pajamas, my shoes, my outfits inside my suitcase as well as the gifts I decided to bring home to my parents. I’ll only be staying for 3 days since work is hectic right now but I packed extra just in case.
As I finalized the stuff I was going to bring, I flopped down on my bed and drifted off to sleep.
I inhaled the air as I got off the train. I searched for my parents who were going to pick me up today from the station. I saw my mom waving her hands as my dad jumped up and down while holding the signboard with my name on it.
“Eomma! Appa!” I yelled through the crowd while I pull my suitcase as I run towards them.
“Eomma! Appa!” I repeated as I hugged both of them, “I missed you guys.”
“Us too hon, us too.” Dad replied tightening his hug around us.
As we parted from our five-minute hug, mom exclaimed “Oh honey! You’ll be delighted when we get home. I cooked all you favorite meals, and you can finally see Bubbles’ new puppies.”
“That’s great mom, I’m so glad to be back” I said, smiling.
The car ride to our house was as enchanting as ever. It was nice to take a break from the bustling life of seoul. Here in Daegu we can take things slower and we can have fun and rest.
I rolled down the windows as I took a deep breath. Ah fresh air. I’m inlove.
When we got to our home our neighbors greeted and welcomed me back. I could ready smell the beef barbecue mom prepared from outside. Entering the house, I heard faint barks coming from upstairs slowly getting louder until I was greeted by our chow-chow, Bubbles. Following Bubbles were her 4 babies - cookie, milo, froyo, and chooey. Bubbles jumped on me as her puppies barked at the newly encountered intruder - me.
“Honey, dinners ready!” mom yelled from the kitchen.
“Coming mom!” “Coming hon!“, dad and I yelled back at the same time. We looked at each other suspiciously.
"I’M honey.” Dad stated as if taunting me to say otherwise. Of course, I knew better.
“Nuh-uh dad. I’M honey.” I answered back while have a staring contest with him.
Mom walks to the living room to find me and dad having and intense staring contest.
“WHAT ARE YOU TWO IDIOTS DOING THIS TIME. I SAID DINNER WAS READY 8 MINUTES AGO.”
We both blinked garnering a groan from both of us. We both started bickering loudly and then we looked at each other, then at mom and asked “Which one of us was ‘honey’?”
Mom blinked twice, as if she was trying to process what just happened. “This is the reason you were fighting?” she asked sternly.
She took both of our ears and dragged us to the dining area. “If you ever do something like that again, you are grounded.” Mom said looking at both of us.
“Yes, especially you!”, she hit him with a newspaper, “You’re a grown man for Pete’s sake.”
After our sermon from mom we ate and decided to catch up on some things. They told me about this knitting class they were going to and even this yoga class every friday they attended.
We started talking about tv shows they watched when mom suddenly gasps and says “Hey do you remember your old playmate at the hotel? He’s a famous rapper now!”
“What? Who?” i asked, puzzled.
“I forgot his name, oh what was it - uhh he plays the piano and he helped you learn how to skate remember?” she turned to dad, “Dear, do you remember his name??”
Dad, surprised by mom’s sudden question stuttered when answering “U-uhh i thin-I think his song went like umm 'A to the something with STD’ I don’t know I’m not sure”
“I got it!!” mom suddenly yelled.
Dad looked at her and asked “What?? Did you get his name??”
You thought of the name, you’ve heard it before but you can’t quite remember it. Thus leaving you and your parents confused.
“No! I won a gift card! See?” mom exclaimed while showing her phone to my dad. “Oh yeah let me google his song maybe we’ll find out his name.”
Mom proceeded to type into her phone. Unlike most moms, my mom is internet savvy, she even has a groupchat with her friends called “le amigas”
“I got it! For real this time!” mom said while chuckling. “His name is Yoongi, does that ring a bell?”
