Lisa pov-
I was sitting in the car when Chan hyung stopped the vehicle. He went into a toy store and came back with this toy ^^(see the above pic)^^
"Its for you" he said. "I felt like buying it for you. You ready? You are going to go to an orphanage - a new life. This toy will be your comfort toy."
I could not take it - he was too sweet. It had been long since I'd met someone who cared for me. Jisung too but yeah. This was different. It was basic for Jisung to buy me pads and give me clothes.....that's humanity. This was different.
"Thanks hyung" i said and he got inside the car.

"Orphanage with boys? Oh naur" Chan stood up from the chair. "lisa lets go"
"Ok" I said standing up.
_______________________________________________
St. Mary's Orphanage, it read. This was what Chan chose for me.
I step into the orphanage, feeling a knot of unease tightening in my stomach. Chan had assured me that this place was good, but something about it didn't sit right with me. Maybe it was the way the building gleamed with an almost intimidating poshness, or perhaps it was the forced cheeriness of the staff as they welcomed me in.
As I settled into my new surroundings, my initial discomfort only grew. The other kids seemed too quiet, too obedient, and the rules felt suffocating. But I kept telling myself that it was better than being alone on the streets, better than starving.
Weeks passed, and I fell into a routine of pretending everything was fine whenever Chan called to check in. I plastered on a smile and assured him that the orphanage was treating me well, even though every night brought with it a sinking feeling of dread.
The truth revealed itself slowly, creeping into the corners of my awareness like a shadow. Late one night, as I lay in bed trying to ignore the gnawing hunger in my stomach, I overheard whispers among the older girls. They spoke of being sent to hotels, of doing things that made my cheeks burn with shame.
And then there were the nights when the slightly chubbier girls, like myself, were spared from that fate only to spend our time scrubbing floors and cleaning toilets until our hands were raw and our bodies ached.
I felt trapped, suffocated by the weight of my circumstances. But just when I thought I couldn't bear it any longer, a ray of hope pierced through the darkness.
Jisung, one of the members of Stray Kids, appeared unexpectedly at the orphanage one day. I didn't notice him at first, lost in my own thoughts as I went about my chores. But then he was there, wrapping me in a tight embrace that felt like the first breath of fresh air I'd had in weeks.
"We will not send you to an orphanage," he whispered, his voice filled with determination. "I will ask Chan hyung not to. You can stay with us in our dorm. Promise."
I couldn't find the words to respond, overwhelmed by the sudden rush of emotion. But as I looked into Jisung's eyes, I saw nothing but sincerity and kindness, and I knew that I was finally free from the suffocating grip of the orphanage.
"Thank you hyung" I said hugging him back with tears streaming down my face. "I will clean the dorm and do the laundry if you want but please take me away from here"
My grip around his torso tightened as i feared letting him go. It felt as if he was my lifeline. "Aw Lisa of course i will not keep you here longer. Even when you were bruised and battered i did not see this gloom in your eyes. Is this place that bad?"
I nodded vigorously - "the slim girls are being sent to hotels for money to do shameful things with strangers and girls like me are always cleaning all night...yesterday they asked me to clean the staff's toilet.....someone had not flushed their poop and i gagged....but they say its better than losing your virginity to unknown men and not even getting money...."
When I was done Jisung hyung's eyes were filled with tears. he lifted me like i was a tiny baby and then walked out of the orphanage. He made me sit in the backseat when i realised - "my rabbit!"
I hurried out and ran back in. I took the rabbit and came back - "Chan hyung gave it"
"He gifted it?"
"Yes, it was my only solace. The only thing i liked was having this beside me - it kept reminding me that good people are there outside the orphanage and all i had to do was wait until the years pass. For then i could escape and identify the good souls outside."
"Well Chan hyung is a good soul." he said starting the car.
"I know" I said. "You are a good soul too hyung"
He paused. Then he grinned - "I was waiting to hear that sis"
