fifty one

danna waited for yoongi to arrive a little bit past closing time, as she did every afternoon. he was always the last parent to come by and then they would spend the afternoon together before he'd drop her off at home at night. her mother had recently asked her to run things at the daycare and danna was more than happy to, since she loved children and couldn't imagine working at any other place.

she and jonghyun were on the carpet floor of the lobby, on their stomachs, coloring in a drawing they had created together. it was a picture of yoongi on stage performing. he really admired his dad.

there was a knock on the front door, as she had locked up everything for the day. it was after hours and she always made sure to go through the proper closing procedures before leaving the building. danna smiled and pushed herself off the floor, leaving jonghyun to finish his coloring. she went to open the door and greeted yoongi with a warm hug. "how were dance practices today? she asked him, as she did every day. they had gotten to the point where each of them would ask the other about their day.

he was freshly showered and changed into a pair of ripped jeans and a black oversized hoodie. he sighed. "it was pretty tiring. we learned a new choreography, and hoseok caught on in no time. i don't know how he does it." gesturing to the little boy who was very entertained with his box of crayons, he asked. "did jongie give you any trouble?"

-

we stop at A's house and he asks me to turn the car off bc he wants to talk. so i do it with a burdened sigh and keep my eyes looking straight ahead.

so he asks me why i'm so mad. and he asks me if i'm mad at him, and he asks me what he did wrong. so i think to myself, "you fucking know what you did wrong. you chose her over me." but i dont say it. instead i say that idk what he's talking about. that im not mad.

he says that he knows me. he can tell im mad. and when i stay quiet, he starts guessing again. "is it because of what ricky said at the restaurant? why does it bother you so much that people think we're dating? what's so wrong about it that it would make you this mad?" and i say its really not that. so he says, "is it what moira said then? bc she did cross the line." so then i said it wasn't that either. so he says, "then what?"

and i kinda just start crying. "im mad bc you left me all alone. you went with her."

and he says. "i'm sorry. i really didn't mean to. i didn't go with her either though. i went to target because i ran out of deodorant. so i ran there, got my deodorant, and ran to the adidas store. but you were gone. i know you hate going anywhere alone, so i tried to be quick."

and i said, "how come you couldn't say that before? we could have gone to target together and then to adidas." and he said there was no time and he didn't want to hold me up.

so then he promises that next time he'll go with me no matter what. and i felt all better. but i mean, now that i think about it, i think i was wrong to be mad at him. none of that was his fault and there he was apologizing to a spoiled little brat like me.
