the three returned home as a family, and danna thanked her mother for keeping her company through those difficult times and helping them find jonghyun. her mother returned to their home town that afternoon, and called when she arrived to tell her daughter that her dad was happy for them as well. 

danna was happier than she had been since she had moved to seoul. 

she had yoongi, she had jonghyun, and a baby was on the way.

now everything was as it should be.

the end.

here's the last update for this story guys. i hope you enjoyed this whole thing. and i hope you don't think im crazy after posting my life rantings in the author's notes here too. i could have posted this last update a long time ago, when i posted the other ones, but i honestly just forgot. and then i got busy again.

A and i had another argument, after about three months of not arguing. 

it was after work yesterday and he invited me to go have breakfast. so we decided we wanted dunkin. so we're on our way. he asks me about my day and then starts telling me about his day. nothing too crazy. then he says he was sorry for snapping at me during work. which he definitely did. but that doesnt matter. it was a minor misunderstanding, we were over it. i said it was fine. and i mentioned as a joke that we prevented a lot of arguments. and i laughed bc i said that as a joke. and he stays serious. "well what do you mean by that?" and i said. "no reason...it was a joke." and he goes. "if you mention it, there must be a reason." and i said, "well kinda. when i told diana to get for you in the DT, you guys took a really long time to move spots. but that was it." and he immediately gets defensive. 

"well DT was packed. i chouldnt just leave her alone with the mess i made. i said what i said." and i just glance at him speechless. meanwhile im driving towards dunkin. and i said. "i know. but you stayed there long after it wasnt packed anymore." bc its true. and he was like "no i didnt. it was like three mins." and i said, "it was nine." and he said, raising his voice. "i hate that you do that to me! you were counting my time! that's bullshit clary. you just make yourself angry by doing this. so whats your point in all this? i dont understand." and i said, literally shrinking in my seat. "no one's mad, A. i didnt say anything in the moment to avoid an argument. that was the whole point." and he just sits there and shrugs. "well i stand by what i did. i dont think im wrong."

and like by then i felt like i was about to start crying. so im trying to hold back trying to be strong. and the only thing i can push out without starting to cry is one word. "okay..." 

and i dont even look at him. i stay quiet and keep driving. my hands are shaking on the steering wheel. my eyes are getting blurry with tears, and my lips are quivering so i bite down really hard so he wont notice i want to cry. bc i'll be damned if some little twig boy is gonna make me cry. and i'll be damned if im gonna let him see me cry. he's quiet for like five minutes, glancing at me every few seconds and i can see the change on his face out of the corner of my eye. he felt guilty. and he sighs. "...i didn't mean to sound as aggressive as i did. it was in the heat of the moment. im sorry." and i just nod bc i still can't speak. bc if i do, i'll start crying. and we keep driving. its still like ten more minutes to get to dunkin. and we drive in silence.

so we get there and i take a deep breath. and i turn to him. "what are you gonna want to eat?" and he says, "nothing." and he hands me his debit card. "get whatever you want." and i shake my head. "why?" and he says. "im not hungry." and i grab his debit card bc he has to pay after the emotional distress he just put me through. and i tell him "if you dont pick something, im gonna choose for you." so he picks something, we pay and we park in the lot to eat. he's being extra nice, extra sweet. making conversation. im mostly quiet. then we go home and he texts me. "i'm sorry about earlier. i had a really shitty day at work and when you mentioned the thing with diana, i thought you were trying to argue. but i was wrong. im sorry." and i replied. "i literally only mentioned it as a joke. i wouldnt have done it if i thought you were gonna react like that..." and he said. "i know. i was an asshole. im really sorry." and i said. "yeah...its okay." so that was that. but he's never treated me the way he treated me yesterday. it felt really shitty.

anyway, again, thank you guys for reading. have a great day!
