chapter 37

The first thing I did when I got home after that night, was to rub and scrub my body clean. I was so disgusted at that maniac's touches. I rubbed my neck hard inorder to remove every drop of his saliva. He fucking kissed me!Tears started rolling down my cheeks, reminiscing the scene in my mind over and over again.I came out of the washroom and saw the white, unsealed envelope sitting on the desk. I changed into my night clothes and took the envelope in my hands. I took out all the cash in it and started to count.It wasn't enough.It was just about the half of the price of the machine that Yoongi adored. Should I get him something else?Something that I can afford with this money??But Yoongi want nothing other than that machine.I broke the piggy bank that I had started using since the first day of school, out of desperation. It's my fault for abandoning it and not saving up.Because it was still not enough.•••It's Saturday today, and to my surprise, my parents do not have any work today. It's very rare for both of them to have an off at the same day because they work in the same hospital. The hospital most known here in my hometown." Dara." My mom knocked from my door and opened it, leaning he head into the doorway. " We are going to the mall. Do you want to come along!?"Ah, now I know what they are doing. Since, Christmas is a few weeks from now, they planned this day off. It's the day when they buy presents for everyone, or anything they think they should buy for the holiday season. They'll buy it in advance, because they wouldn't have the time to do it near the holiday.And,  since this happens once in a blue moon, who am I to reject such a glorious offer!?Maybe, I'll even find something in the mall to give it to Yoongi instead of the machine. Or, maybe a miracle would happen and machine would be on sale?I'm hopeful. And desperate." Yeah! I'll be there in a minute."•••" I want this."My dad pointed out at the flat screen tv in the front window of the electronics shop. It's of the double size than the current television in our home." You barely watch tv!" My mom intervened. " And whenever you do, it's always some that  Dara and I don't want to watch. Right, sweety?""Y-yeah." I forcefully agreed." That's my point."  My dad nodded his head and entered the shop. " I barely watch tv that it should be on the best quality whenever I do."My dad's always like this. When he wants something, he's going to get it, no matter what. He doesn't care about anyone's opinion at all. It's his words that matter the most. He tells you what to do, and you do it. Or else he'll pretend like you never existed. Me and my mom followed him inton the store and saw him already talking to the salesperson. He's got a huge smile on his face, almost way too happy. And that's when I realised that my dad has probably bought the television as they already started moving towards the cashier. My mom followed him but I didn't. Instead, I passed by the music station and stopped there, looking for the Maschine that Yoongi wanted. And there it was, displayed on the corner of the route, the same exact machine that he had gotten from Busan. Even the buttons and the knobs are the same. I reached for the price tag and turned it over. I wish I hadn't. I made me want to go back to the coffee shop and work again. " Dara!" My mom looks over at me and gestures me to come to where she is. "Come here!"I walk to her, looking back at the machine. If only I could get you, only if you were a little cheaper... Why do you have to be so expensive?" What is it mom?" I ask her as I reach where they were sanding. My dad swiped his card into the machine while the salesperson writes onto a piece of form." Your dad bought it." She whispered as she rolled her eyes. " It can't be helped."" I know, you need to control him sometimes." I half smiled, making her think of it as a joke but I really did mean it.The sails person then said that the new television is going to be delivered at the  house tomorrow; and since both my parents would be at work, I'd be the one responsible for signing the papers when it gets at our house. When everything was settled, we all walked out of the store and looked for somewhere to eat. I looked back at the machine once more, just before leaving.I promise to get you for Yoongi one day.That's a promise.•••" Park San Dara!" A man with pink forms of paper in his hand stands infront of me as I opened the door. " Yes?" I said. " Is that the TV?"I pointed at the humongous box behind him, placed on the top of a metal cart. It's almost as tall as him. A truck is parked infront of the house, with the 's name in big letters written all over it. " Of course!" He says. " Please sign these papers and then this bad boy is yours." He says as he pats the box behind him, then gives me the forms stuck in a clipboard. I quickly signed them, a total of six signs for all the forms. I hand it back to him, hoping that is over. I just want to get over with this so that I can continue studying for the upcoming tests. " Perfect!" He says taking back the forms. He goes behind the cart and start to push it into the house. I gestured him to place the box in the living room, just right infront of our old television. When he's done, he wheels the cart out after saying thank you. I thank him back and begin to close the door but he comes back and inserts his hand in the remaining opened space of the door. " Wait! We are giving this out to the people who had bought items from us yesterday." He calls out , making me open the door again. He starts taking out a piece of paper from his back pocket, straightening it into a better condition. Maybe, it was the receipt. But as I looked down and took the piece of paper from him, it felt like I had won a lottery." This promo just started so I hope to see you at our shop again."It's a coupon.A fifty percent off on any item available in their store.•••A/n:- A very less Yoongi content in this chapter,right?
