ACT XIV | SCENE LXVII

PLAY DATE


JANGMI TAPPED ALONG to chopin's étude number three, tristesse, as she drove to rosalie's school to pick her up. it was the last week of school and rosalie was not the only one excited for the break. her hand moved to increase the volume of the classical piano piece that was playing so that the sound completely filled the car.

with a small smile, she pressed down on the accelerator, expertly weaving her way through traffic towards the school that was no longer so far away. she and sora had agreed on a play date by the end of the week so they could do a little catching up of their own while their kids played.

jangmi really needed to let out all the confusion she was feeling to someone else. she could have told hoseok when they spoke but he was already dealing with his own emotions when it came to amalia and she didn't want to pile hers onto his problems. it was the same with brigitte who was worrying about how to make a long distance relationship work if namjoon ever did ask her out. they were always thinking of her and she thought it was high time she did the same for them so she listened without saying much this time around.

turning off the engine after she found a good spot in the school's parking lot, she made her way to the building. she knocked lightly on the door of rosalie's class before opening it and stepping in. her brows furrowed when she didn't see her child running towards her with a toothy grin on her face.

"miss han?" the teacher called, looking surprised. "uh, hello, miss shin. where's rosalie?" jangmi asked softly, wondering if the girl had gone to the bathroom on her own. "she's already been picked up. i thought you were informed." miss shin answered, an awkward smile on her face. "uh," jangmi chuckled dryly. "i wasn't. but her father must have come by and forgotten to tell me." she said lowly and miss shin didn't hear her. "give me a moment." she reached for her phone in her purse and dialed jimin's number.

"hey, jangmi." his voice sounded distracted and she could hear the shuffling of papers in the background. "hey, why didn't you tell me, hmm?" she began immediately. "what? tell you what?" his confusion was evident in his tone.

"that you were going to pick rosalie up. and i drove all the way here for nothing." her hand went to her hip as she rested her weight on one foot. "huh?" jimin let out. "hey, don't play dumb with me park jimin. just admit you forgot to tell me." she adjusted her grip on the phone. "jangmi, i didn't forget to tell you anything."

"what, are you telling me you didn't pick rosalie up?" jangmi's voice had taken an apprehensive note now. "no, i didn't pick her up. stop playing games, jangmi. you know i've got a ton of work to do. just admit that you wanted to hear my voice." he replied teasingly. she ended the call abruptly and went towards miss shin again. "who did you say came to pick up my daughter?" she asked, trying to avoid being frantic and jumping into conclusions.

"a man. he said mr park sent him. he even called him and i confirmed with him." miss shin replied, seeming confused. jangmi's heart began to beat fast, ramming against her chest painfully as she redialed jimin's number with shaky hands.

he picked up on the first ring. "why did you end the call like that?" he questioned, tone annoyed. "j-jimin." she stuttered, feeling her breaths coming off heavy and choppy. "what's wrong?" he immediately sounded alert. "r-rosalie," she began, scared out of her mind already. miss shin was staring at her, worry written on her face.

"d-did you get anyone to pick her up?" jangmi was already on the brink of tears. "no, i told you already." the answer came out forced. "jangmi, tell me what this is about." she heard how tense he sounded. "j-jimin." the first tear rolled down her cheek.

"i-i think our baby girl's been t-taken."
