Wings to Fly

~3~

A/N; Chapter 3 alreadyyyyy. I hope you enjoy this book. I continue to surprise myself as I continue to write. Anyways let me not bore you with this... Get on with the reading lovelies!!

I was stuck holding the door, when he let himself into my room and started looking around. He finally stopped at my bed and sat at the very edge I sat on. This guy... "Well, make yourself at home then," I said curtly. Sure, he had the looks, but his manners were probably left at home. "Well... my apologies for my rude behaviour.

"You got me curious Erna..." For some reason the way my name rolled of his tongue so perfectly made me tingle. "Curious?" I asked. I was so confused. Is it because I stared? Shit!! "Well, for starters, we can talk about how you were drooling at me!" he said with a hearty laugh. Ugh! I could already tell that he was cocky.

He looked at me and even laughed harder after seeing my reaction. My face burning and my mouth wide open in disbelief? How can he say that so comfortably? I was lost for words. "I'm joking Erna... relax." He could not stop laughing and I just covered my face with embarrassment. "Jin made some food, come join us, you will love his cooking." With that he left my room, disappearing into the hallway.

I immediately shut the door behind him still shocked. I fell on my knees trying to catch my breath. I am being so dramatic but good heavens! I ran into my bathroom to see how I look. As if they hadn't seen me before.

I got out of my room and walked to the dining room when Jin was serving everyone. "Oh, Erna! Jin made us some food have a sit before it gets cold," Hobi said. I walked up to an empty chair which was right in between Jungkook and pink haired boy, I could not make his face yet... Dammnit!

I wish I paid attention when Hobi was telling me their names. I hated that we had a rounded table because I had to sit with Jungkook who, from our first interaction seemed like a complete ass. I sat and was greeted by a huge smile from my right hand side; the pink haired boy. "Nice to meet you Erna, I'm Jimin." "Hi Jimin, nice to meet you too!" I answered, with all my teeth out. He just laughed and started eating his black bean noodles. I turned to my plate and felt a kick on my left foot. Jungkook.

From the corner of my eye, I could tell he was pretty entertained by me because I could feel my cheeks turn red. He started giggling and continued kicking my foot. I felt so uncomfortable and I could not wait for them to leave. That's when Hobi cleared his throat, signalling that he had something to say.

"Erna, I know the past few days have been a bit rough and I can't promise they will get better because you know, none of us can pay the bills since we are still students in University, and my part time job will not be able to pay for the bills. I think that it is best if we stayed with the boys at the house. That way we can at least have some sense of stability. I have alr-"

"What do you mean stay with the boys Hobi? I don't understand why-"
"Listen to me Erna! We have no other choice! We have nowhere to go! What will happen if we get kicked out because we cannot pay rent? Do you think the landlord will have pity for us? He needs to make money too. You know how we almost got kicked out when dad did not pay on time!!"

I could not believe this. I felt so uncomfortable and immediately lost my appetite. I got off the table and stormed off to my room. The boys followed my movement up until I disappeared into the hallway.

Is this the only solution... living with hormone filled boys. I shivered just at the thought of that. I was instantly swept with regret. Maybe if dad and I did not argue he would not have died such a painful death. Tears started rolling down my cheeks when the memory played in my head.

"Dad this is so unfair. I just wanted to feel independent. I can't stay my whole life locked up in this house forever!"
"Nana we talked about this! I will not repeat myself again! You are my daughter! You will listen to what I say when I tell you! You are NOT moving out. Just because you are now a university student does not mean you can talk to me how you want!"
" But dad! You are being so unfair! You keep me locked up in this house. I can't even see my friends over the weekends. Why? Why dad? I am re-"
"One more word from you and I will not even pay for your fees! I will not allow you to become one of those bratty girls you are friends with! You are already irresponsible and are not mature enough to make your own decisions"
"I hate you"
I stormed off to my room and he went out for a drink. That's when I got the call that he was in hospital.

I know the argument my dad and I had was not too serious and he just wanted me to be safe since I was his only daughter, but I could not help but feel trapped. Now, in his final moments he could hear me saying that I hated him. I couldn't control my tears anymore. I did not want to blame myself for my father's death but I could not stop myself. I screamed into my pillow so as not to be heard. I was about to scream again when I heard a knock on my door. I swear if it's Jungk- "It's me."

Hobi's sweet voice echoed as if he could hear my exact thoughts. "What do you want?" "Come to the living room we talk, the guys are gone anyway." I heard his feint footsteps as he walked to the living room.

I already knew what he wanted to talk about.
