Unfinished Business

                                    

                                          
Young Hyun
                          
One the way outside to the bleachers, we ended up finding BTS! Well, all except Yoongi. We all sat together while her family sat elsewhere.
                          
"It's so good to see you again!" Dowoon said, hugging Taehyung and Jungkook.
                          
"It's great to see you, too!" Jungkook and Taehyung said in unison. Sungjin and Namjoon shook hands and exchanged their happiness to see each other again. I sat next to Jimin and stared ahead at the stage.
                          
"Hey, Young Hyun. Long time no see." He said to me.
                          
Still staring ahead, I said, "Yeah... It's good to see you."
                          
"It's good to see you, too. How's Mallorie holdin' up?"
                          
"As well as she can. She's been a lot better than before, which is good."
                          
"Yeah... It's good that she doesn't have Taeyeon to pick on her." My God, I totally forgot about her. I chuckled.
                          
"Yeah... Where's Yoongi Hyung?" He shrugged.
                          
"I dunno. I saw him walking off, and I asked him where he was going. All he said was that he has some unfinished business to take care of, and continued walking." He leaned onto his knees to get more comfortable, then looked back to me.
                          
"Oh... Okay... Do you have any idea what his "unfinished business" is?" I asked. He shrugged and shook his head. He shot up in realization.
                          
"I don't, but I think Taehyung knows. TAEHYUNG!" He yelled, calling over Taehyung, who sprung up and scooted over to us.
                          
"What's up, Jimin Hyung? Hey, Young Hyun Hyung. How's it going?"
                          
"It's going fine. It's good to see you. Do you know where Yoongi is?" His face turned red and he looked to the floor.
                          
"He's uh... Yoongi's..."
                          
"What about me?" We turned to see who said it. Low and behold, it was Yoongi Hyung.
                          
"Yoongi!" I yelled, standing up and giving him a hug. He just stood there in shock. I pulled away from him and coughed a little before sitting back down. He sat down next to me.
                          
"So why was I the topic of discussion?" Yoongi asked, a little confused.
                          
"Oh, Jimin and I were just curious as to where you were." I said.
                          
"Oh." He said nonchalantly. "I was just taking care of some unfinished business."
                          
"Well, I already knew that, but what is this so-called "unfinished business"?" Jimin asked, now getting suspicious. Yoongi shrugged.
                          
"I just had to talk to Mallorie about something, that's all." His eyes and expression softened, and he sighed. Wait, what did he talk to Mallorie about? Was it important? Why wouldn't he tell me about it?
                          
"What did you talk to her about?" I asked. "But, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
                          
"Thank you for understanding." He wouldn't look at me. I turned to Taehyung and gave him a look that read, "What's wrong?". Then he, too, refused to look at me.
                          
"Oh, look!" Yoongi sad loudly. "They're starting!" The principal came up on the stage and introduced himself and the vice principal.
                          
"First, I will announce our honors graduates!" His low voice boomed. "Steve Blamer!" And on command, the boy walked up, shook his hand and received his certificate. After seven more people, he called out Mallorie's name.
                          
"Mallorie Montana!" He yelled. As soon as I saw her, I stood up and yelled, as did the rest of Taking Back Spring, BTS, and her parents. She grabbed her certificate and handshake, and stood next to the rest of the honors graduates.
                          
After pictures were taken and all of the graduates were called, they were dismissed and allowed to leave. We all met up on the turf (most of us running, including me) where Mallorie had been standing. I got up to her and picked her up and spun around.
                          
"Young Hyun, put me down!" She said through a laugh. I put my lips on hers for a quick second.
                          
"Congratulations!" I said before putting her down. "I'm so proud of you!"
                          
"And so are we!" Taehyung said, giving her a hug. She gave everyone a hug and ran to her parents who covered her in hugs and praises. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but they waved and parted ways. Mallorie came back up to me and clung to my arm. 
                          
"So where to, dear? The river?" She asked me. 
                          
"Woah, don't we have to get swimwear, first?" Her face went from really happy to concerned and upset. 
                          
"I- I don't want a swimsuit." She said. 
                          
"But why? You'd look super sexy~" Jin said, grabbing her hands and swinging them. She smiled and put her hands back at her sides.
                          
"You're such a mom..." He glared at her for a second.
                          
"Okay, ddal. Why don't you want a swim suit?" Jin asked. She shrugged and rubbed her arms. 
                          
"I... Have... Uh..." She paused. What? What do you have? This suspence is killing me!  "Stretch marks! I have stretch marks and I don't want anyone to see them..." She looked less troubled. 
                          
That's weird... She's so skinny, how can she have stretch marks? Maybe it's.... No, she'd tell me, right?
