Kim Taeyeon
My little one skips into my office and swirls my office chair around, sitting right on my lap and shoves a brochure at me. She kisses me on the lips and pulls back, pointing at the crumpled papers in my lap.
"A greeting would be nice." I mumbled, scanning over the big bolded letters of the packet that said clearly, 'Disneyland Resorts.'
"Taebear, remember when you said you'd take me to Disneyland?" She said so cheerfully I thought that she was on something. Drugs? Probably not. Candy? Probably yes.
"Uh, sure?" I started to think back of when I said that. Did I even say that?
"Taetae. . you said you wanted to run away with me, remember?" She pouted, and when she gave me those damn puppy eyes, I knew she wanted something. I didn't expect her to remember any of that but she did.
I was still trying to earn back my $25K she had spent on designer bags and shit.
"Yes babygirl, I remember."
"So can we go? Please?"
"But, you're too old to be going to a kid's play place." I said. She frowned and I swear to god I have spawned the ultimate hell on earth; HellFany. Like, I've offended a lot of people in my life. But I've never seen someone so ticked off, bothered, and literally 'shook' from what I had just said.
R.I.P Kim Taeyeon 2017.
"But but but, you're never too old to go! Taeyeon-ah! I've never went and I've always wanted to go." She even pulls the resort magazine out of nowhere and flips to a random page, pointing at a bunch of kids on slippy slides. I rest my case.
"Sure. I'll pay for an all inclusive, exclusive getaway at Disneyland Resort. In exchange, I want many back massages, a case of beer and you not bothering me for something for the next. . let's say, 10 days?"
"But you have to go with me. ." she continues to whine, her puppy eyes intensifying. Frick.
"Fany-ah, I have a business to run and things to take care of. I'm a little busy right now."
"Then we can go later when you're not. I know you haven't been to Disneyland either. ."
"Okay, what is your point piglet?"
She snuggles closer to me pulling on my shirt to get my attention."You never go out, you're like a home fairy. All you do is sit home and play games all day. You never interact with people and you refuse to go out unless it's an absolute need. I've skimmed through your photo album Taeyeon-ah, there's barely any photos of you on vacation. Think of this getaway, being your kind of real first one and it'll be with me." She was literally glowing, beaming if I could really say. Like she is a literal happy virus. But man, she is so persuasive. I almost said yes.
"Yeah yeah yeah. What would we even do there? It's a place for kids." I ask her scratching the side of my head in which she tickles my elbow for.
"I get to go on a date that I've always dreamt about going." She says smiling. But this smile wasn't normal, it was the beady eye smiles that she makes when she really wants something.
"Correction, it's a date that you've seen in your collection of chick flicks on Netflix and it's something you want to recreate." She slaps my stomach, annoyed at how right I am.
I chuckle at the sight. Cutiepie Pany.
"You can take me on all the rides, we can go to all of the prize booths and you can help me with them since I'm bad and I need a big strong mans help. We can get tons of food, and eat them by the fountain in the middle of the park watching the parade around us. Then at 9:00 they have this firework show at night that ends the parade! It'll be really magical and then we can go see all the Disney characters!" At this point, I'm just staring at her amused at her passion for going to a kids amusement park. She says it with such grace as the words flow right out of her mouth as if she was a travel brochure for Disneyland Resorts. I couldn't stop smiling at my excited short piggy.
"Wow you really came prepared.I don't know who you're trying to convince though, me or yourself."
"Taetae. ." She whined once more, pouting and looking like a damn pupper. Puppy Hwang, give me a thousand of her.
"I can't say no can I?"
She shook her head. "Nope. It's either a yes or a yes."
I sighed. I sighed pretty loudly. A really exaggerated sigh. She kept rubbing my ear and I thought that was such an unfair tactic. It was borderline illegal.
"Fine. I guess we'll go." I mumbled. She screamed and jumped in her seat, which was my lap. She smothered me in kisses and I sat there unamuzed.
My legs were bruised from all that jumping, my ears deafened from the dolphin like squeal, and I felt my face numb from the kissies.
"I'll leave you alone to conquer the world now." She quietly slipped out of my lap and shut the door behind her.
I placed the crumpled Disneyland brochure on my desk. I just had to glance at it and scoff.
I'm whipped.
Heechul: 4:04 @ old compound east side.
I sighed, placing my phone roughly back onto the table and watching the open door where my girl had just walked out.
I pulled my drawer out, looking at the shiny new nickel plated pistol I had.
What a gorgeous little baby.
Deeper in my drawer I pulled out my shiny new knife I had ordered and custom made for me. Initials on the gold hammered blade; K.J.
For you, my brother. Jonghyun.
I held the knife up by its leather grip, making it literally twinkle underneath the room's ceiling lamp.
I looked closer at the fresh cut blade, seeing my reflection upon the metal.
That was me. I frowned at my own face, holding up such an item that has so much potential.
God what am I going with my life.
I hope you're living alright Jonghyun. This is me making it up to you.
I heard a girlish scream followed by a bunch of furniture shifting and Prince's barking. My instincts obviously came about and I grabbed both gun and knife in hand. "Tae! There's a cockroach in the living room!" . . . And I put them back in my drawer and sighed.
I took the bug spray from my emergency Fany kit behind my chair and walked downstairs, seeing her up on the couch screaming and pointing at the bug.
"Will you stop? I thought I had to kill someone." I grumble not impressed.
"You have to kill that bug is what you have to do!" She says, still scared to the bone with Prince at her feet barking at the bug too.
Both scaredy poops, both loud poops.
"Jesus Christ Fany-ah, don't scream bloody murder. I thought something actually happened like well, murder. Hell, it could've been a ghost and I'd still be inclined to come down here."
She shook her head, probably ignoring everything I had just said. "Taetae hurry before it runs and tells all of its cockroach friends that there's a party in here!" She wailed, pulling my arm and guiding me to follow the slow moving insect.
With the nozzle pointed, I bid you goodbye Mr. Cockroach, scaring my girl since 801, '89 and giving me false alarms since '17.
That night we cuddled in bed watching a movie, Beauty and The Beast I think. Was it? I don't know, it was a Disney movie to set the mood for the upcoming trip she said.
"Cutiepie." I cooed, kissing her forehead all over till she got annoyed with me and pushed me of the bed. "Fany-ah, be nice. I bruise like a peach." I got back up and crawled underneath the covers, touching her milky smooth skin and pulling her leg to be underneath the sheets with me.
"Hey." I said, hovering above her.
"Hi. So, how about that Disneyland trip?" She quipped.
"I'm trying really hard to seduce you right now and you are not helping with your dream vacation." I had the biggest frown of all frowns. I am Mr. Frown.
"Sorry baby, I just really want to go and like you said we can go but I have this feeling that you don't really go an-" I pinched her lips. She talked too much.
"Can I just do the sexy times with you and then we can talk about it later? I promise we'll talk about it all night long after we do the things." I mumbled against her collarbone, pulling down the strap of her nightgown.
She pecked my head and cupped the side of my head, pulling gently on my head and I was reluctant to look up because I knew what she was going to be talking about.
"But do you really want to go to Disneyland with me? You don't have to. I know you're busy." She said in a small voice. I rubbed her arm gently, looking at my tiny baby.
I sighed and sat up, all my sexual tendencies washed away when she asked such an innocent question.
"We're going. Busy or not I said I'd go with you right?"
"Really Tae?" Incoming crescents alert. Incoming eyesmiles.
"Yes, love. I will go with you. Now let's sleep. I'm tired of answering your many questions." I mumbled, turning around to shut the TV off and crawling right into bed, tucking her underneath my chin.
"You cuddle me so tightly. I feel like a stick sometimes." Her muffled voice came out.
"It's for security measures, don't want to lose you. Think about it this way, if a tornado hits if we'll be swept away together." I said, yawning and reaching above me to turn off the lights.
My eyes started to water from my yawn and I couldn't keep my eyes open much longer.
She giggled a cute one and snuggled closer to me, her breath hitting my skin. "Night Taetae. Can't wait to go on that trip with you."
Ah, yes that trip. I must not disappoint now.
I hummed and rubbed her back, wanting her to sleep well and sleep tight.
Even with that in the corner of my mind I got up a couple of hours later, knowing what the text I received earlier in the night meant.
I slipped out of her hold, struggling to since she sleeps all clingy and koala like. I felt like a kangaroo mother, you know, having her little kid in her pouch by her at all times.
I went into my closet, picking out the whitest of all whitest silk import dress shirts I had, some black trousers and a matching black tie. Did I need the tie? I don't know, but Fany always said the details counted and she always liked the tie on me.
It wasn't like she was going with me, but still liked to look good for Fany. I'm not trying to impress any other girl or whatever, just wanted her to feel like she's proud to call me her fashionable best friend or boyfriend.
Hah, that's me. I wiped my own smug smile off my face, imagining her pinching my cheeks for thinking so highly of myself.
I tucked my dress shirt in, taking care to get every little detail. I slipped on a matching suit jacket and adjusted my tie, slicking my hair back perfectly. One last look and I forgot one more thing. My obnoxious gold plated knife I refuse to get a single drop of blood on. Gotta tuck it in the loop of my belt too. Extra precaution, I don't wanna come home mauled at or I'd get an earful from Fany.
I walked by the bed, still eyeing the small lump on the large bed sound asleep. I plugged in her pink unicorn night light, keeping in mind if she ever did wake up she wouldn't be too spooked. Plus, if she ever needs to go to the washroom she won't walk into shit like I do in the dark. Extra precaution.
"You better light up her path when she needs to walk around the room or I'll have no choice but to beat your plastic ass into a pulp. You understand?" The unicorn night light just flickered and I'll take it as a response.
Fuck, why am I even talking to a night light.
I sat down on the edge of the bed, watching her sleep so cutely. My hand instinctively went to brush her hair back out of her eyes, rubbing her temple with my thumb. Smooth milky skin, my type.
You look cute when you sleep, like a little pupper. Heh, I almost broke out into a laugh imagining her as a puppy. I would never let her go from my arms. I'd cuddle her to death.
The sound of a chime made my ears twitch. Her notifications sounds were always so obnoxiously loud, and annoying. Who the fuck does she need to talk besides me? I am the only one. The one and only.
I grabbed her phone, unlocking the screen and right into the messenger app. What the fuckles.
I didn't even see what the persons name was, she changed the contact name to 'Irrelevant'
I scrolled through the messages.
Irrelevant: Tiff, let's talk. I'm in town for a photo shoot. Let's figure it out.
In an instant I knew it was whatever the fuck his name was Lee Cheoldick. There was only one model guy that she talked about, or talked to. The other messages were about forgiveness or some shit, getting back together or whatnot.
So they did date. Well that just felt like a billion undercuts to my face. I cringed at the thought of them kissing. holding hands or hugging. I felt like I need to throw Fany into a washing machine to get rid of that nasty crusty ass Cheoldick's germs.
I was a bit choked. She didn't tell me about him basically annoying the crap out of her through text. I'd like to know if these things are happening to her but I guess it's alright. I can't be too mad over this.
Mine, mine mine mine. She's mine and mine only.
I placed the phone back and shook my head, my face lifting to a smile immediately as I glanced back at sleeping piggy Fany. She had a little snore and I died a little inside.
I got up but the bed started to creak and I froze. I got up a bit more and it creaked again till I felt a small tap on my back.
"Taetae? Where are you going?" She whispered. She sat up from the bed, rubbing her eyes so cutely that I couldn't have the heart to just leave her be and walk. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
"Work, Fany-ah." I said as delicately I could. She knew exactly what kind of 'work' and she hated it.
She frowned.
"Fany-ah? Hey." I walked back to her, sitting on the bed and pulling her to my lap.
She sniffles and held the lapels of my suit. "Please don't go. Stay here with me."
"I have some things to do, I'll be quick. 2 hours max." She shook her head. This deal wasn't going to work. "1 hour?" She pulled my jacket tighter in response.
"Why do you always have to go? I don't like your type of work, you know that." She mumbled, hand rubbing my shoulder.
"You know I have to."
"Just don't go this time please Taetae? Sleep with me?" She said, pouting with teary puppy eyes. I almost stayed. I almost just scraped my plans for tonight and stayed. But I had to go.
I hummed and stroked her hair, tucking some strands behind her ear and reassuring her with the look of my eyes that it'll be fine.
She wouldn't go to sleep. Every time she would accidently fall asleep on my shoulder, she'd jolt awake and look up to see if I was actually there. Then she'd stuff her face in the crook of my neck and repeat the process over and over again.
I held her close, rubbing he back to coax her to sleep. When I placed her back into bed and tucked her in, she still had her hand intertwined with mine tightly. I pulled away gently, slowly and as calmly as I could to not wake her.
When finally broke free of the grasp she kind of whimpered, frowning and turning a bit in her sleep. But she didn't wake up.
I inched off the bed slowly, tucking the monkey toy beside her too.
I crept out slowly, shutting the door and making sure everything was secured. A simple glance at my watch read 3:57. I had almost no time to make it where i needed to be.
4:04.
But it was 4:27 when I was actually got there, stepping out of my car with my shoes scraping along the pavement. I closed the door and walked towards the gated private property, climbing along the fence and avoiding the barbed wire. I jumped down and straightened out my suit.
Jonghyun's old compound for cars. Right he used to deal with stolen foreign cars and sell them for a damn living. The shit this triad is involved in is fucking ridiculous.
I opened the door and saw seated men, a bunch of slobs around them and their little bodyguards surround them. I walked straight through them, sitting onto the chair in the middle of them.
"Problem?" I asked, setting my feet up onto the desk, pulling back one of the desk drawers to see a gun tucked underneath a bunch of papers. I glanced back up, eyeing the many small bosses who work under me.
"She's coming." One of them said, gnawing on a piece of wood. That's fucking disgusting.
I scoffed, lighting up a cigar. "Who's coming." I muttered, cigar almost burning the shit out of my hand because I accidently grazed it.
And just on cue, this bitch came storming in a trail of beefy men barged in.
"How may I help you, sweetiepie?" I placed the cigar on the dish, flicking a lamp on. They needed to renovate this stupid hideout. A little too old for my liking. It wasn't like this when I was in charge back then. But now that I'm back, it has to go.
She smiled sweetly, but a blind person could see it was fucking fake. Couldn't deny though, she looked hot in that skin tight red dress. Loved that red lipstick too.
Bitch be looking like a snack.
"Can we talk, baby? Alone." She purred, hands rubbing my thigh. I gestured for everyone to get out of the room. I glared at her bodyguards and cleared my throat. She dismissed them and when she turned around to face me I had her pinned up against a wall, hands above her head.
"What the fuck do you want?" I said in her ear. She struggled against my hold but I pried her legs open with my leg and had it wedged between her.
"Dad wouldn't like to hear that you're rough handling me now." She spat, glaring at me with fiery eyes. I scoffed and let her go, leaning on the edge of the desk with my hands in my pocket.
"Did you look this good to see me baby? I love your tie." She smirked, hands trailing against my chest, she grabbed my tie and pulled on it gently.
"Why didn't you send your guys to help us when we had a fucking shootout in downtown east side? You knew about it but you fucking sat back and watched."
"Wasn't going to involve my men and kill them because of your petty shit. Stay the fuck away from areas that you aren't and maybe you wouldn't get shot up. Don't be stupid."
She narrowed her eyes at me, heels clicking against the floor and when she got too close to me her hands grabbed my crouch. I slapped her hand away and shoved her to a wall. My hands stated to sweat and I gulped the forming lump in my throat.
"Did you forget? I'm your Uncle Lee Sooman's daughter. I can kill you Kim." She smirked like she's important or something.
"Adopted daughter." I corrected.
She gritted her teeth and clenched her fist. When I started to laugh she went back to her calm and cool composure. Fake ass bitch.
"Did you just come here to try to punish me for not support one of your schemes? You still petty over the fact that I left you?" I said, probably mashing her buttons left and right.
"You're still mad I fucked you good and left you there? Remember your confession to me darling? You told me you loved me. So where's the love now honey?" I continued, pucker my lips up for her and if looks can kill, I'd still be alive.
"Don't act like you're in charge of this little game we have, because you're not. Leave the bosses to be bosses. Don't try to be one. Go be your daddy's little daughter, keep a low profile or it's gonna bite you back in the ass."
"Give me a kiss sweetpea, wouldn't wanna leave your Prince Charming hanging now."
"I'd rather kiss a snake." She growled, heading out the door but turned around.
"Well, I am a snake. Kiss?" I said, tapping my cheek.
"I hope you remember Seolhyun." Then with a slam of the door she was gone.
I shook my head. I tried to jog my memory. Sounds familiar. Seolhyun, Seolhyun. . What the fuck.
I stepped out of the office and walked to the forming crowd. "Send these cars overseas to Europe. Lose the tracking numbers on those. We're moving the compound to Aberdeen Island. I want that fucking shit built brand new, gold plate everything."
"Got an obsession with gold now?" Kris said, chuckling.
Didn't expect the guy to be here but I shrugged. "I'd get my teeth gold plated and my asshole too. I'd shit gold if I really wanted to. Shut up and make it happen."
"Got it boss." He said, winking at me before gathering some of the guys.
I turned around, heading back to my golden Ferrari. Yeah, gold.
I rested my head against the steering wheel. A little pissed off. Seolhyun lingered in my mind. Juniel didn't scare me, but I had no idea what she as planned and me not knowing something before hand made me uneasy.
I placed my phone on the phone stand on my dash and set the route to my next destination.
Lucky me, I arrived jut in time to see him walk out of his car and into the building. I waited in my own car for awhile, letting him get settled and whatnot.
The minute hand struck on the 6 o clock and I walked out and into one of the trailers. I looked around the plated numbers, searching for the right one to find the guy.
But I didn't have to. I ran into him with him holding a late of breakfast or some crap because he tripped and fell on the ground, food everywhere. He grumbled and got up, patting himself clean.
"Look where the fuck you're going, irrelevant piece of shit." He mutters. Wow, the name Fany gave him really did suit him. Calling me irrelevant, nah. Lee Cheoldick is what he is.
I smiled a crooked one and poked his cheek. He frowned and looked at me like I'm so crazy mother fucker. Which I was, because I ended up launching my fist towards his nose, he fell back, cupping his bloody face while his model girlfriend which I assumed started to scream.
I wiped my fist on his clothes, tainting his white shirt. "You got a little something on your nose bud, a little blood? A piece of pancake?" I pointed to his cheek.
He looked like he was going to cry and I didn't mean to make anyone cry but oops.
I crouched down beside him and he started to back away in horror. His face looked like a punctured cherry Kool Aid pouch. I didn't mean to hit him that hard but. "Cheoldick? Cheolwoo? What's your name? Nevermind don't answer that not important."
"Leave Tiffany alone." I whispered in his ear, taking a pancake from the plate and eating it. "Understand?" I said through my munching. Pancakes are good.
He nodded timidly, still looking at me confused and shit. "Alrighty then. Have a nice day." I patted my hands clean and plopped the half eaten pancake onto his stomach. I wiped my mouth clean with my pocket square, getting back into my gold plated car to get some breakfast for my little lump sleeping.
I adjusted the mirror and saw the lipstick smudge on my collar. What was I going to say. Did I even have an explanation. The truth, I told myself. Tell the truth if baby girl asks.
I discarded the shirt and pulled out an extra t-shirt. I made a detour to the nearest travel agency.
Maybe that Disney trip isn't such a bad idea after all. Gotta go buy those pairs of tickets as fast as I humanly can now.
She didn't know what happened or where I went after. I came home that day right before she woke up so all was good. I decided to take her on the trip she wanted to go so badly.
I told her to pack for warm weather and that is literally the only hint I told her. She kept bugging me every single day following up to the day we boarded my jet to fly there just like how she bugged me to go to Disneyland. Little lady doesn't know when to stop, but it's cute.
The entire plane ride was just 'where are we going, can I have a hint, Taetae tell me.' She even bribed me with back massages, a little sexy times etc. etc. But no, I must stay strong.
I can't take the bait.
I just let her sit on my lap the entire plane ride, watching TV with her or entertaining her with my funny self. She even took monkey George along, so I kind of threw the stuffed animal around the plane. It kept me entertained because Fany was jumping everywhere for it, whining, yelling threats at me if I didn't give it back to her.
In the end I put him in my shirt and walked around the cabin telling the flight attendant I was expecting my first child with Fany. The flight attendant laughed, and I did too. We had a little chit chat but I guess Fany wasn't impressed because when I turned around she was gone. And by gone I meant she was in her own seat flipping through a magazine angrily.
I found out the reason she was mad at me a bit later when I smothered her in kisses to make her talk to me. Apparently I was 'flirting' with the flight attendant. I laughed so hard because the flight attendant was married, has 4 kids and a loving wife.
When we touched down to Tokyo I blindfolded her. I told her it was my new kink and I almost had my head bitten off by her for saying it so damn loud in front of many people. She told me she didn't want to hear about my sexual fantasies. "It's just for awhile, it's a surprise to where we are."
"Is it Disneyland?!" She said excitedly. Clapping her hands, jumping a bit. Fuck you Fany. I deadpanned so hard. Unbelievable. Was I that predictable?
"No? I told you we'll go to Disneyland later. We're only staying at this place for like 2 days." I lied through my teeth. She nodded and held my arm as I guided her to the car waiting for us.
As soon as the car stopped in the entrance of Disneyland I had to carry her out of the car. Obviously I couldn't carry her in peace. Yelps, screams and a bunch of back hitting came with it. It looked like I was kidnapping her, it looked so bad to onlookers but it was only for a few minutes. I placed her down on her feet and she hung onto me. "Taetae? Where are we. ." She asked, hands trying to pry the blindfold off.
"My secret sex dungeon."
"What the fuck Taeyeon."
"I don't know where we are, you tell me."
"The thing is, I don't know where we are! So I can't! Stop being a smart ass!" Even when she can't see, she still manages to punch me in the gut.
I rubbed my belly, lifting up my shirt to see if there was any bruising. "God, you're so noisey. Just wait, you'll see where we are." I grumbled.
I pushed her a bit more and guided her. I accidently made her walk into a couple of kids, a trash can and she almost went over the fence. Almost.
It was an adventure itself but when I made her stand still infront of the gate I pulled her blindfold off.
"Tada, welcome to the happiest place on earth. Apparently, according to you." She screamed a happy scream. I had to poke at my ear a bit to see if I could still hear anything but other than that all was good.
She hugged me, arms wrapped around my waist and I had to waddle around away with her from the entrance with her on my lower half because we were making a racket, drawing attention to ourselves and kind of bothering people who were trying to leave the place. I scratched my head, don't know what to do with a ball of excitement.
"Taetae!"
"Shush, you're a little loud." I said, patting her head because she looked like a little pup.
I was about to ask her what we should do but when she yanked me roughly and almost made me die on the spot, I just shut my trap and went where she took me.
I didn't expect her to have that strong of a pull, nor did I expect her to take me on the biggest fucking roller coaster of my puny life.
I glanced up, neck stretching to see the towering metal tracks going all over the place and I've never wanted to piss my pants so badly in my life.
"Hey, you. Pipsqueak. A-Are we going on that?" I said, pointing with a shaky finger when we seemed to be getting closer and closer.
"Yeah! Hurry there's going to be a line up!" And there she was, pulling and pulling and pulling the way her small tiny body could pull.
I didn't even realize it was our turn to get on when she pushed me in the cart and my body was a tangled ball of human mush and bones in a little cart. I freaked at the claustrophobic space.
"I'm too big to fit in here." I said, still trying to squeeze myself in.
"It's fine just tuck your stupid long legs underneath the bar and you'll live. Move over Taetae, I wanna sit beside you!" She too squeezes beside me and I couldn't feel my hip bones.
Her hand clamps down on my bicep and I thought I was going to lose circulation. It's alright with me though, Fany looked so happy.
When the safety bar clicks in place and the ride starts, I was the one who held onto her bicep.
All I saw was a happy puppy Fany before blacking out and dying.
I gulped when the ride stopped. I looked over to Fany and the next thing I heard was 'let's go again!'
I couldn't. I waved at her and shook my head. "F-Fany-ah, I don't feel well, please do-"
The safety bar clicks again and my eyes widened. I grabbed on Fany's arm and shook her. "No no no no no no no no no no!" And there I go, being sky rocketed into the air at 100km/hr.
You can find me vomiting near a trash can after that wild ride.
I leaned against the bin and wiped my mouth with a napkin she gave me. I wanted to curl up in a ball and shrivel up.
"Taetae? Are you okay?"
"What do you mean am I okay? You made me go on that fucking ride again when I told you I wasn't feeling well. Now I feel like even more shit." I snapped, roughly grabbing the tissues in her hand.
"Sorry." She mumbled, looking all sad and shit with her little frown. What the fuck is she mad about, she isn't the one puking out today's lunch.
"Come on shortstuff, let's leave before I call the trash can my second home." I said, grabbing her hand and walking away. My stomach was still uneasy but I wanted to lighten the mood up a bit.
I never really had yelled at her like that.
My eyes darted toward that really fake looking house in the corner of the park and I looked at her. She still had a little frown and a pout but I pointed at the area and she immediately shook her head.
"Look, a haunted house. I wonder what every cliche chick flick has ever done with a haunted house. Oh no, I think we have to go there."
"That's an instant one way ticket to sleeping on the floor and a free ride to Satan's asshole if you think you're dragging me in there." She hisses and starts to run away.
Time to catch a piglet.
"But can we go? I wanna go." I said, catching up to her because she has such itty bitty legs.
"Then go by yourself." She mumbles and pushes me away. I sigh and walk infront of her. She tried to go around me but I ended up just picking her up and hauling her over my shoulder.
She kicked, yelped, screamed and pretty much bruised my back but it was worth it.
I bought the tickets for the damn haunted house and waited in line carrying my precious cargo on my shoulder. She was kind of wailing and everyone waiting had a kick out of it. I was pretty much entertaining them.
When it was our turn to enter she clutched the pole outside the door in fear for her little life and I rolled my eyes. The attendant just stared at her and I was there mercilessly yanking my piglet off it and pushing her in.
It was great. Every time some crusty ghost popped out of the shadows she'd grip my arm and smother herself right up against me.
When it got really 'spooky' she'd hug me and hide her face in my torso, making me walk and guide her out.
Just before I died of laughter, the last thing I heard before the onslaught of dolphin screams and felt that constant hold on my hand was her screaming 'I'm breaking up with you!'
"I fucking hate you." She said with tears in her eyes. I mean I felt kind of bad for laughing but she wouldn't really break up with me, would she?
"Are you seriously crying?" I ask, giving her a tissue.
She huffs and aggressively takes the tissue from my hand.
"Oh come on nugget, those things weren't even real."
She turns away from me and stomps angrily. "We're going on that." She says, pointing at another colourful roller coaster that was for sure going to make my insides mush.
I cringed and shivered, remembering how I puked all over the place like a wuss after the first couple of rides this morning.
"You're funny dwarf." I snorted and walked the other way.
"Fine! Then don't go!" She yells and I turned on my heel and jogged right beside her. She ignored me the entire time we were standing in line and I was a bit of an asshole for ruining her day.
When we stepped into the ride she smiled and turned to me, kissing me on the cheek whispering 'you're the best' and then the ride started.
I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready at all. Oh god my hair is going to be ruined, I'm going to have another barf session with the garbage can later.
I sat outside on the bench for awhile after that. I never knew how much of a wuss I was. I didn't know I couldn't go on rides anymore. I'm actually so sad.
"Taetae!" Fany came running to me with a bottle of water and she looked so cutesy.
But my head snapped at the couple of men staring at her behind.
I stood up and frowned, gesturing Fany to come in my arms. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and kissed he top of her head.
"Mine." I growled, marking her like infront of everyone who kept looking at her the way they were.
"Possessive loser who can't go on rides." She says, punching me lightly but looking up at me asking for a peck on the lips.
"Fany-ah, promise me you won't tell the boys about this? Please please?"
"Why not."
"I won't hear the end of it. During high school every time they asked me to go I always dipped and made some lame excuse up." I mumbled, taking a sip of water to hydrate my disgusting throat. She starts laughing and oh my those crescents were adorable.
I felt a couple of drops of water on my head and I looked up. Overcast skies and Mother Nature decides to take a piss on us.
"God is sweating on us right now. Come on let's go somewhere dry."
We walked hand in hand together to the gift shop.
I unlaced my hands with her and walked to the back, eyeing the wall that had a bunch of merchandise hung there.
My hands skimmed through the pile and I came across a bunch of plastic ponchos. Or raincoats.
Couple raincoats.
Dark blue raincoats with Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse on the back of them.
I squatted there and kept looking at them back and forth back and forth.
Now, do I really wanna do this couple thing? God it's so weird. And cringe, and cliche, and everything awkward.
I stood up towering over the shelves and I cursed how all she was. I couldn't find her no matter how tall I was, she was too short and blended in with the racks and stuff.
"Piglet." I called. She came running from the behind and hugged my back, smothering her face on my backside.
"Taebear! Look!" I turned around and she held her hands up with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse hats and I just sighed.
I brought the raincoats infront of me from my back and she tilted her head in question.
"Outside. Raining. Raincoats. Me and you."
She grabbed the Minnie Mouse one and with twinkling eyes looked like she was going to cry.
"W-What. Stop looking at me like that." I said, wiping my hands on my pants because they were getting clammy.
"Awh, you're so cute." She cooed. She tiptoed to put the hat on me and it was lopsided. I huffed and find fixed it myself.
She went infront of the mirror and put hers on adjusting her little floral dress too.
"Come on short stuff, we got some mascots to chase around."
I paid for all the stuff and gave her the raincoat, helping her put it on. I pulled the hood on for her and made sure she was properly covered. Wouldn't want my dearest to be soaked, although that would be a great sight.
I put on mine but she grabbed my hood and pulled it over my head and down to my eyes, covering it to the point where I just saw blue.
"Hey, cheeky." I stuck my tongue out and walked out the door.
I walked back in 10 seconds later, soaked from head to toe.
"Never mind bad idea. Don't go outside. These raincoats don't do shit." I grumbled, staring at the pooling water at my feet.
"No time to waste Taetae, rain or not let's go. Where should we go?"
"I don't know, wherever your little legs can take us." I flung some droplets of water at her and a kid that was walking by me pointed at me and said I was 'childish' to their parents.
I frowned. Kids. They are evil.
"Let's go find Mickey and Minnie Mouse."
Oh no. More walking. My poor feetsies. I'd rather stay home and play The Sims.
So finding them wasn't particularly hard but when this duck thing came up to me and squeezed my ass I got so scared.
"What the fuck." I said under my breath, hiding behind Fany avoiding the oversized duck.
"Donald Duck likes you Taetae, say hi."
"Dude, Donald Duck's a damn perv is what he is, he touched my butt." I hissed, still glaring at the animal and keeping my distance.
"I guess everyone wants a piece of your ass too."
"How are you okay with this, what if underneath that costume it was a girl?" I whisper in her ear, my own hands holding my ass to shield it from predators.
"Wait. You have a point." She said. We stepped to the side and waited for all the little mini humans to take pictures with the characters. I mean, we're adults so we should wait. But, screw those kids.
We ended up waiting for like 15 minutes and I got pretty friggin bored. Fany pulled my navy blue short sleeved oxford shirt down which she picked out for me, and tugged my khaki shorts up, which she still picked for me.
"I look hot right? Of course I do. You dressed me."
Fany made a point of taking pictures with everyone but Donald Duck. For all we know, it could be some old man, an old woman, a teenage girl, hell even a man could be in there.
A bit more pictures and adventuring through Harry Potter Land and the Avatar one, time flew by so fast that the sky was already dark. It was almost time for the nightly fireworks and I pulled her away from the forming crowd.
"Taetae? We need to find good seats."
"That's exactly what I'm doing."
"If your idea of good seats is hanging us off a building then you can go to hell Tae." She said super seriously. She's so scary when she's serious, I still get nightmares.
"No no, it's better than that." I chuckled.
"Better?!" She yells. God, my ear.
I lead her to the back of Disneyland, along where the fenced off area kind of ended and the amount of shrubs and trees were starting to get abundant. "Are we allowed to be here?" She whispered, looking behind her like we were doing something illegal. I shook my head.
"Probably not, but these are the best seats in the house babybeans." I pulled myself up and onto the railing, sitting my ass on it and gesturing for her to do the same.
"Tae, I can't get up." She said in a small voice.
"Try."
"I feel like I'll fall if I sit up there though Tae."
"Then don't fall." I said. She slapped my knee for being such a smart ass but I shrugged. Just don't fall then.
I got off my spot and lifted her up, placing her on top of the railing and settling her there and made sure she was secure. I wouldn't want my pretty piggy to break a few bones, or teeth. I lifted myself back up and sat beside her. "Do I have to do everything for you." I grumbled. she giggled and nodded.
She clung onto my arm and rested her head on my shoulde.r I breathed in the scent of her and it always smelt good. I'd give it a rating of 11/10.
Then the colour of the pyrotechnics exploded into a mess of greatness. The sounds of booms came after and it did really look pretty when some of it faded away, sizzled, or lingered longer than it should've. My hand was then laced with hers, she squeezed it with every firework that went up. My hand felt warm, the nice kind of warm.
I turn my head just to see the fireworks glisten in her large glossy eyes and mouth agape. The mixture of random lights emitted from the fireworks helped light up her face even more. I couldn't help but smile at the little burst my heart got from seeing her like this. Maybe coming to Disneyland wasn't such a bad idea after all, it was worth it to witness the small amount of happiness emitted from her. My little feather.
"Hey, I love you." I blurted.
She smiles even bigger never taking her eyes off the fireworks but turned to me in a split second and wraps her arms around my neck, straddling me right on that railing and I had to steady myself with my arm and one wrapped around her waist. I thought we'd fall from the sudden movement. My heart literally popped. Thought I'd drop the both of us.
I was going to scold her but I couldn't. She looked at me with those eyes. "I love you too." She replied with a giggle when I finally stopped having my little freakout.
The soft lips on mine muted everything around me and it was like a spotlight that focused on Stephanie. I felt like I was in a theater or a play where the light was on us and everything else around us was pitch black but us. Nothing like the sounds of the booms, the muddled noises of human voices, or even the sounds of nature was even heard when we kissed. Don't know why, but this time it was different.
"You're so perfect." I said when we broke from the kiss.
"And you're distracting me from seeing the fireworks." She said, nibbling on my lip before letting go and turning her head to look behind her, watching the fireworks with me as I gripped her waist and held her closer.
Perfect is an understatement for you, love.
My heart was damn pumping fast. Nevermind the fireworks, all my attention was on her. This felt right, this is what normal couples do. Happiness is something we're both often so deprived of.
When the fireworks started to dwindle down and then erupt into a frantic explosion for a grand finale I heard her say 'awh' followed by a little sad pout. "I'll be your firework tonight babygirl." I said, wiggling my brows and she rolled her eyes.Unwraping her arms from my neck and hopping down with no problem.
Just a while ago she couldn't even get up without being scared.
I stepped down, patting myself clean and adjusting my attire but that small tug on my arm caught my short attention.
"Taeyeon-ah, carry me."
"We haven't even started walking?"
"My feet hurt."
"I told you not to wear those shoes of course your feet would hurt."
"Taeyeon-ah." She whined tugging on my shoulder.
I exaggerated my sigh and squatted down. At this rate I'll have a thick ass. A toned one too.
"Thank you Taetae!"
I mumbled something under my breath and she flicked my forehead. "What was that?"
"Nothing babycakes." I said, turning my head to the side to kiss her quickly before tightening my hold on her, walking along the gravel sandy path.
We look like a bundle of bags with a human sized teddy bear we won from the game booth that was barely hanging around her arm.
"Are you guys married?" A deep low voice behind me asks. He speeds up beside me with his wife in his arms smiling.
An old couple with graying hair, slowly walking with their hands intertwined as the crinkles around their eyes are prominent and their laughter seems to fuse together that sounded so wonderful in my ears.
"Oh, no not yet." I says with a smile bowing a bit to the old couple. Wish I was though.
"You guys argue like a married couple, I thought you guys were married!" The old lady says laughing alongside the man.
"Eh, you gotta do whatever it takes to let the misses happy." I said happily. She smacked me on the shoulder as a protest and we all chuckle.
"The secret to a good marriage is to always let the lady be right. Never argue with her and nod to everything she says even though she may be wrong." The old man murmurs loud enough for all of us to hear as he leans into my ear.
The old lady pulls at the old mans ear and he yelps pleading for her to stop.
"Young man, don't forget that if you make the lady mad it's an automatic one way ticket to the couch - or even worse, the floor!" The man says smiling as he trails behind his wife with his voice getting fainter as he gets further away.
"As Beyoncé once said, if you liked it then you should've put a ring on it." I shouted back. I did put a ring on it. Kind of. A promise ring.
"Well, that was weird." She laughed and snuggled into my shoulder.
I occasionally looked back to seeing a small faced cute girl fighting the sleep away as she tucked her face on my shoulder.
I will never mind carrying her on my back. I'd do it for as long as I can stand. My precious cargo.
I picked the most expensive loft on the top floor of the resort, complete with a spacious kitchen, spa, jacuzzi, entertainment room, a full balcony space and a huge master bedroom. Steph lectured me about how a regular hotel room would've been just fine but I wanted the best for her. I have a 10 digit figure in my bank so why not.
The receptionist was about to change it into the honeymoon suite but I quickly dismissed the idea. We can have that suite for another day, when we get married.
I scan my finger on the scanner and open the heavy doors being careful to not drop the small one on my back. I walk quietly into our room and plop her down gently tucking her underneath the covers.
She slowly stirs in her sleep but then becomes still. My hands tugged at her dress, not knowing if I should help her change.
I didn't want her to wake up and sack me to the oblivion for being a perv. But I did it anyways. I unzipped her dress ad pulled it off her, rummaging through her own luggage to find a shirt that she'd be glad to sleep in. I pulled out a black t-shirt and recognized it was mine. So that's where it went.
Right, I slipped it on for her and then took of her bra because apparently according to her those 'chambers of hell' aren't comfortable to sleep in.
I peel off my clothes for the day and take a quick shower, feeling squeaky clean and Fany approved. All I want to do was just snuggle up to Stephanie for the entire day. I didn't tell her this but my feet were killing me. I would've been slaughtered on the spot if I complained.
I crawled back into bed, laying beside her with my eyes wide open and mind as loud as can be. Even though I spent a dreamy day with Fany, I still thought about many things that I shouldn't have. Like Juniel, or Seolhyun. Jonghyun maybe?
I felt so uneasy. Guilt eating away at me slowly, chipping at me bit by bit. I should tell her.
I mean the only reason we were here in Tokyo Disneyland was because I felt like a genuinely bad person after that night. I didn't do anything necessarily bad, right?
I like to convince myself. I do it on a daily basis for extra reassurance.
I needed to tell her, soon or else it'll be bad. I've learnt that the hard way, the worst way.
"Taebear. ." She mumbled, licking my neck surprisingly and I glanced down a few moments later, my mind still preoccupied by my thoughts.
"Thought you were asleep."
"Kind of. I don't know what happened." She said. I followed her gaze, her stare at my neck and I cocked a brow, she smiled at my neck so smugly and when she bit her lip I couldn't help it.
"You marked me, didn't you?" I asked. She nodded and planted her lips on my jaw.
I pulled her up and kissed her deeply, prying her away from my jawline that she happens to be obsessed with.
"Mine." She mumbled between our kisses and I chuckled. I say that all the time.
"Now that I have your attention, tell me what's wrong." She said, her fingertips were just like her lips. Always entrancing me, making me so captivated because she kept tracing the contours of my face with them.
It was like a spell, a tactic just like how she can call me Taetae or how she rubs my ear to get me to completely melt for her. So unfair.
I have yet to find ways to get her to melt for me, so I can boss her around and sway the favour to my side.
"You just always know, hm?"
"You kept shuffling behind me tonight, you weren't sleeping so I figured that there's something bothering you." Her knuckles rubbed my chin and I felt like a cat, or a dog. Either way it felt good, it felt right. I guess.
"I can't avoid this discussion topic, right?"
She smiles. "Nope."
"Promise me you won't beat me up?"
"Maybe, depends on what you're going to tell me."
"Okay, be gentle with me then. Like really gentle. Super gentle, like delicate with me." I warned.
"Gentle, got it."
"Okay. Well. I was doing some work with the triad, and I kind of met someone." She nodded, understanding the story so far.
"Who. .?"
"Um."
"Spill, Kim."
"J-Juniel?"
Uh oh. It was a bad start already because she literally punched my shoulder.
"Ow, Fany-ah."
"Go on." She said with a frown.
I cleared my throat and had to say something because her glare had me many amounts of uncomfortable. "She grabbed my dick." I whispered.
Angry Fany incoming. Abort mission. Have mercy on me, dear lord.
"That's it she's dead!" She gets up and storms across the room, digging into my jacket for my phone.
"F-Fany-ah, you said you'll be gentle."
"To you! Not her!"
"Hey, hey you can just be goof around plotting a murder against someone halfway across the globe in the happiest place on earth a.k.a. Disneyland!"
"Why was she grabbing your dick!"
"I was at the base, dealing with some money issues owed to me and she and her posses stormed in mad that I didn't back her and her group up when they had a shootout downtown or something."
"She kind of tried to seduce me, hence the dick grabbing but do not worry. I kicked her ass out." I continued.
"Fany, please remember she doesn't know that I used her for the you know. . my shitty plan that got us separated." I said in a small voice. Bad times, bad memories.
"Yeah, a stupid plan that you thought was smart but wasn't. She's still fucking dead." She growled. I gotta admit, her calling me out and that plan stung but I deserve it.
"Who you calling?" I asked, tapping my nervous finger on wood.
"Your friend Key."
Huh. I shook my head in confusion. "That guy is the probably the best rifleman in the country. Why are you calling him, he could be busy you kn-"
"That's exactly why I'm calling him."
"You're not serious about assassinating her are you." Oh god.
"No, but if you can't scare her off then I will do it personally myself." She barked.
"There is no way in hell I will get you involved further into this triad shit." My voice rising above hers.
"Then this is why I'm calling backup. I'm getting people to do it for me since you can't." She said normally. She didn't even try to compete.
"I can, just not to the extent that you want it to be." I said much calmer this time.
"I'm not letting that stupid bimbo ruin us again. I've cried too much and waited too long for you for her to break us up again." She responds, ending the phone call when she couldn't get through to him.
"Oh." I got really quiet. I felt that unsettling crap in my stomach. Every time she brings anything bad up from the past i can't help but feel like shit.
She rarely does it, and that's why it stings so much.
She throws the phone on the bed and crawls into my lap so unexpectedly, resting her cheek on my shoulder.
"You know I only ever want you. I'm yours." I whisper.
She huffs and I rubbed her back. Feeling sorry towards her.
"This is supposed to be a happy vacation. I didn't mean for it to turn into this." I said softly, kissing the side of her head tenderly.
"I'm plotting her murder in my head right now, don't get me started Kim Taeyeon." She hissed jokingly. I chuckled, loving how she herself humors me at times.
"Is there anything that I can do to ease your mind?" I asked, still rubbing her smooth milky back.
She nodded. "Hold me."
And so I did. I held my precious little piggy.
I held her in a hotel room with Disney characters all around us, reminding me to be happy.
Damn Mickey giving me the stanky eye. Can't forget and Pedo Duck. Shivers still existing along my back every time I looked at that smug duck.
To enjoy the moment right now.
"I've got something for you."
She lifted her head up from my shoulder and frowned.
I made her put her palm out and she did, hesitantly.
I placed the golden wrapped coin in blue in her palm.
"Day whatever it is. Doesn't matter, I wanna give you one every single day. You said it made you the happiest at one point when you read it and opened the little pouch."
"I only ask of you to open these coin pouches when you're mad at me, when we have a fight or when you're thinking about leaving me."
"To read my small journal entries of us when things between us get bad, when you're sad, or when you need a good laugh when I'm not here."
"Promise me that, pigsy?" I said with such a heavy heart. Knowing how this ultimatum almost tore us apart too.
She had that charming smile I've fallen in love with so many times and she nodded. Hooking her pinky finger with mine. Another promise added to our books that we can never break.
She held the paper bound coin in her hand and leaned back into my shoulder, letting me hold her once more like that.
"Day 62." She said, voice soft as a feather.
I held her tight. I had a cheeky smile pressed against her head. She remembered, she still, wants it.
Day 62, love.
