TAEHYUNG'S POV

I reached the hotel and finally I took off my mask and beanie. I entered my room and the mellow music reached my ears. Jimin's favorite - soft sad songs. I don't know why he likes them when he had never had a heartbreak?

Jimin came out of the washroom, and looked at me. He smirked. A very evil smirk as he approached me vibing to the background music.

| But she's beautiful, she looks kind, she probably gives you butterflies

He sang along approaching me, circling me with his movements and dancing along like an idiot.

| I hope you're happy, but not like how you were with me

I'm selfish, I know, I can't let you go

So find someone great but don't find no one better

I don't know how but his method was kind of working as I knew my cheeks were a darker shade. How can a sad song be this intimidating?

| I hope you're happy, I wish you all the best, really

Say you love her, baby, just not like you loved me

"You're stopping or not? It's not like that. I just met her!"

And think of me fondly when your hands are on her

I hope you're happy, but don't be happier

"Jimin please!!" I requested him but even though he was evidently teasing me, I was liking it, I was liking the warm feeling that swept through my veins when I thought of her.

"I'll stop. I am going down for breakfast. You can join after you freshen up. Okay?"

I nodded. I heard the opening of the door and then his voice calling for me.

"Hm?"

"I never thought Kaylie was so forward. Like, it was the first time you met and you two! Oh no no no no"

I honestly wanted to rip off the smirk from his face. I took the pillow and threw it in his direction in frustration but he moved out of the room just in time leaving me alone.

KAYLIE'S POV

I took a deep breath before entering the house. As I entered, I saw Sasha with Danny.

Did she just called Danny to reproach me? I am so dead. What if she tells Patrick? And what if he tells dad? Why do I care, it's not that I have any relation with him.

"Umm... Hi?"

"Oh! You're back! Where were you?"

No way in universe I was about to tell her that I was with him. She would probably tease me to till the end of my life or this moment will be the end of me.

"Where was I? Nice question!"

"You aren't going to tell me?"

"Nope..."

"Guys, is this even the main issue of concern?" Dan interrupted.

"It isn't?" I was confused by their exchange of weird glances and it made quite nervous as neither of them spoke anything.

"Guys, what's the matter?" I voiced my curiosity. Danny approached me, placing both of her hands on my shoulders, "Kaylie, I know it will be difficult for you accept but-", she took the envelope from the table and placed it in my hand. It was obviously bad news the way they were behaving.

I opened the envelope, it had some papers that seemed to be some documents.

They said, I am no longer the legal daughter of Alec Wilson. Alec Wilson 'was' my 'legal' dad. And since I am already past the legal age required for having a guardian, he has no obligation towards me. I nodded my slightly and inhaled a huge sum of oxygen to blow over my bruised heart.

"It had to happen sooner or later" I said as I examined the long faces of the presence in the room.

"You don't have to pretend to be okay." Dan emphasized. I sighed.

"Now it means, I am an orphan? Wow. For the first 10 years of my life, I was the most loved child in the world. Then, for the next decade I became the one who always longed for parental love and now, I am an orphan. Have you ever seen such diversity!"

There was silence for the longest time till I decided to break it when I realised one thing," Wait! I AM AN ORPHAN!! ".

They looked at me with pitiful eyes," No guys... Are you understanding? He just made all my problems easier. "

" What? " came a confused unanimous response from them.

"As far as I know, colleges provide free education and accommodation for orphans, right?"

Their eyes widened as what I said clicked both of them at the same time. They looked at each other and then at me.

"You're right Kaylie, it is how it works. I have read it! Why didn't I think about it. Gimme a sec, let me call Patrick." Dan said and then left. Sasha leaned in to pull me into a hug.

"Sasha, if you mind. I wanted to change. And I need to head to my job. So, bye."

She nodded but said nothing. It took me barely few seconds till I reached my room. I closed the door behind me as I leaned back. My hand in voluntarily reached my mouth, covering it. My phone vibrated.

my tuition fees and accommodation

fees. The college pays it.

I just have to focus on the

entrances now.]

Her voice was jubilant and expressed great positivity. How can she carry it so well? Like a garment perfectly tailored to fit the way she carries the pain, with a touch of grace and quietness of that sad smile.

[I really don't know how to

respond to that!]

[Come on, weren't you the one
