The stepmother

part 2

Lol this picture reminds me of the song best friend, mostly the Namjoon twerked 0-0

Warning: not proofread, bad grammar, bad spelling, some sad moments

Miss Ella, a sweet and naive little girl. She was the most friendly girl there is, always made sure to greet the employees. Believing that everyone had a good side, always forgiving those who wronged her. Well not that she noticed she was being wronged, she always believed no one would betray her. However, when her mother died she felt her heart blackened a little. When her mother died all the servants cried and her father mourned her death for a month. She felt happy seeing that her father had not forgotten her mother, that he was missing her as much as she did. However, when her father brought a strange woman to her home. She felt betray. But what can she do? It was her father's choice to bring someone to their home. However, that did not mean she accepted that stranger, she would definitely not let her take her mother's place. She believed that the new woman had tricked her oh-so-sweet father. 

Ella always made sure to stay away from her stepmother, never making contact unless it was necessary. Ella spends her entire time staying in her room, planning a way to expose that woman to her father. She knew that woman was evil, every time she glanced into those woman's eyes she could see nothing more than darkness and coldness. Not only that when that woman would communicate with the staff she was nothing more than cold, never greeted them, always glared at them when they made a mistake "she" would fire them right away. What a heartless woman was the only thing that Ella could think to describe her stepmother. 

The poor child only cared about exposing the oh so evil women that she never realized how much harm she was applying towards Hoseok. Hoseok believed that Ella's hostility was because of him because he was not able to fulfill his duty as a caretaker. Making him question everything about him and his girls, was he also doing a bad job with his girls? Did they even want to move? Was he only thinking about himself? No that definitely can't be, was the same thing Hoseok kept on repeating in his mind. 

"All I wanted was for the girls to be safe, have someone by their side in case I was gone. Yes, yes I did everything for them, but, but what if...what if they", Hoseok was going historical because of Ella's cold treat. Hoseok was starting to believe that everything he did was for his own good, not the girls. Hoseok did not stop mumbling to himself until a husky voice broke him out of his small dilemma. As he turned around he came to view a handsome, masculine, gentleman. Namjoon just gave a smile while questioning, "What's wrong? Are you okay?" Hoseok did not want to cause any more trouble or worry Namjoon more than he wanted so he just reassured him that everything was fine.

Ella believed that since she could not show how evil that "woman" was she could only ignore them, no matter what she would still have her father's love all to herself. Not only that she would make sure that he would never forget her mother, never. But everything change one day. As Ella happily play with the small flowers in the garden she once again got to witness that heartless woman firing one more servant. The most heartful part was that it was her nanny, the person she trusted the most after her mother's death.  Ella cried and begged her father but he would not listen, as she said her goodbyes to her nanny the "sweet and innocent woman" gave her a small heart necklace as a goodbye gift. She swore to always treasure that small necklace, but her bubble was popped in seconds. That evil stepped mother found the necklace and yanked it out of her hands. She cry and begged but all she received was a cold stare and a slap on her cheeks. As Ella saw her father walking by she wanted to ask for justice, she just wanted that necklace back, but he didn't even look at her, he just walked away towards where that woman had left.

As Hoseok had discovered the horrible truth of the great nanny he had no other choice but fired her. That nanny which the family had trusted for years had stollen thousands, she stole money, valuables, and most importantly family treasure(memorial belongings). He talked with Namjoon and came to an understanding. They would fire that woman no matter how much Ella begged or cry, they knew something she didn't. At first, they wanted to reveal the truth but they knew the truth would be too much for a naive and fragile little girl like her.  As Hoseok made his way towards Ella's room to comfort her, he couldn't help but stare at the small necklace in her hands. Hoseok's sight started to become distorted, his heart started raising, and his breath started hitching, without being able to think straight he walked up to the poor girl and ruthlessly took away the necklace. Not knowing what to say or do he just walked away and ignored the crying girl.

As Hoseok made it towards the main room he just slowly started to weep, he slowly slide down the door as he brought the necklace towards his heart, tightly clenching it. The small necklace was the last memory he had from his family. The small heart necklace was a gift from his sister, she always thought it was funny how everyone would confuse their little Hoseok as a girl. Being the reason why she would always buy him small feminine items, that small heart necklace was one of those items. He could still remember how hard she laughed once she saw his reaction to the necklace. But no matter how much he disagree with her bullying he would always wear that necklace, he got made fun of by the other knights in trainy but he would just ignore them and smile upon seeing the necklace. But now it turned nothing more than bitterness in his heart, which was why he locked the small necklace away. He never thought he would be able to see it in the hands of Ella. He realized that his actions were unreasonable but he couldn't think straight. As Hoseok was contemplating to either stay or go apologize the door opened. 

Namjoon always knew that the nanny had stolen from them but he never had the heart to fire her, he always believed it would break Ellas' small heart. Once Hoseok had proposed the idea of firing the nanny he was thrilled, he finally had someone by his side to understand and work with him. As he walked by his little girls' room he believed that she was still saddened by her nanny's leave so he decided to ignore it and talk with Hoseok instead. To his surprise, he saw Hoseok weeping while holding his heart, scared half to death he ran to his side and try to calm him down. As he try to slowly comfort him, Hoseok splained everything, from his actions to the meaning of the necklace. Namjoon just sighed and nodded, " I understand, so that's why she was crying, come, I need to show you something." Soon after drying Hoseok tears, he took Hoseok to the attic. The room was not too small or too big but very comfy, it was dirty, missing some tiles, and filled with different frames and furniture. Seeing Hoseoks confuse face Namjoon just chuckle lightly, "This was Ella's mother study room, her favorite room of the House. She would always come here to spend most of the time, everything she owned are in this room, even her favorite dresses. Actually, could I talk with you, about the truth?"

Both males got to talk about their past, one talked about the betrayal and injustice he lived through. While the other talked about his family forcing him to marry. How the woman who looked oh so sweet drugged him to be able to conceive. The marriage was not for love and he never came to love his wife, but he still care about that baby girl. Both males cry and laughed together, finally being able to share their grief they were able to finally get closer. They both worked hard in cleaning the home from all the thieves, trying to invest and earn money for the children. At one point Namjoon decided to give the attic to his daughter and give the other bedroom to the other girls. Both Hoseok and Namjoon made sure to clean and fix the small room. It was not luxurious or big but it was still enough for a small girl, carrying all of her latest mother's valuables. 

But before they could ever talk about their surprise, strategy strikes. Namjoon was going to make his last travel before finally being able to stay at home for good. He wanted to stay and raise the little girls with Hoseok, he already knew that Hoseok was not going to return his love, but he knew they were growing closer. Maybe someday their friendship would turn into love. But as soon as he reached west, he was robbed and murder. The news broke both Hoseok and the girls. Once again Hoseok lost someone he had held into his heart.
