It was a cold- dark night. The rain continued to pour heavily, creating a loud thud as it echoed throughout the empty dead street.

There were worse things being stranded in the midnight. For example; you could be running from a man who was holding his knife upon you to kill you and run of with all the money - if you had in the first place.

That night, a woman's situation was the same.

Her bloody feet constantly tapped on the empty street, always looking back in horror if someone has followed her as her white dress had been teared apart. She also has blood stained on her clothes, probably those men who stabbed her husband.

The woman we speak was holding a baby in her hand, wrapped up perfectly so it could not get soaked by the rain.

Tears tainted on the young woman's cheeks, biting her lips as she cried while running to a safe shelter. She ran and ran, but always failed to find a shelter in the dense wood.

She gave out and broke down on her knees. "My s-sweetheart, I can't do this a-anymore. Your appa left us." She sobbed solemnly, rolling down the piece of cloth, revealing a beautiful baby boy sleeping peacefully in her mother's embrace.

The baby's cheeks were puffy, tip of nose and cheekbones slightly red, beautiful eyes and chubby lips. She could only cry more because she failed to protect her own child.

"But you must live!" She spoke in a determination tone, her voice groggy because of no water in her system. The woman got back on her feet and started to make a run.

Just then, as she ran, she noticed a source of light.

She ran into that direction for help.

Once she reached, she saw it was an orphanage.

Her lips quivered, looking down at her baby. "My lovely child, I hope you have a great life. And I wish you meet someone who loves you unconditionally. Your life awaits for you, honey. Don't end up like me, alone and scared. Okay?"

The baby had no clue what his mother was saying as he looked at her with curious filled eyes.

With that, she placed the baby down on the street infront of the gate. Looking around to find the doorbell, she succeeded as she rapidly rang the doorbell.

When she saw the door of orphanage opened, she turned back on her feet and walked away, leaving her child all alone.

"Please my child, live, love and laugh."

Five years leter.

"We're finally here!" A woman chirped excitedly as she got out of the car, her husband shaking his head at her enthusiasm. Meanwhile a 12 years old boy got out of the car, looking up at the orphanage with his doe eyes.

"Mom, what is this place?" Little Jungkook asked, curiously looking up at his mother who trembled in excitement.

"Jungkook, we're here for your baby brother! Are you excited to meet him?" She asked, patting on her son's head, ruffling up the boy's hair after.

"Yes!" Jungkook giggled in excitement, not wanting to wait for his future sibling.

"Honey, I told you Jungkook was already happy alone. Why should we risk taking another life with us?" Mr Jeon said, rounding the car and standing beside his wife.

"I wanted to birth, but you know I can't anymore. I don't want Jungkook to grow up alone. Atleast, he should have someone by his side." Mrs Jeon said with a soft smile.

"Okay, if you say so."

Soon the family walked inside the orphanage, being welcomed by a middle aged lady and two other people who greeted them.

"Hello, Mr and Mrs Jeon." Rina, the elder of the orphanage walked out infront of them.

"Where is he?" Mrs Jeon asked eagerly, not having any patience left in her.

"Come I will lead you to him." She smiled before turning around and walking inside the house. Jungkook curiously followed behind her, his parents following behind.

Soon they reached a wooden door. The old woman slid the door and family walked inside anticipated. Mrs Jeon almost had tears in her eyes as she looked at a beautiful boy sitting infront of a table with a bunny stuff toy in his hand.

Jungkook coos at the baby, finding the boy adorable.

"Jungkook-ah, he's your baby brother. Go be friends with him." Mr Jeon encouraged the boy, as he caressed his wife's shoulder.

Little Jungkook walked towards the boy slowly, his heart racing. The boy curiously looked up at him and gave a beautiful smile to him, resulting his eyes to turn into moon crescent.

"Hello!" The little boy waved his hand infront of Jungkook.

"Hello, baby brother! What's your name?" Jungkook asked in a sweet, gentle tone.

"Um.. chimin!" The boy giggled.

"Chimin?" Jungkook frowned, confused at the strange name.

"Young boy, his name is Jimin." The elder of the orphanage said with a soft laughter.

"Oh, what a cute name for someone cute." Jungkook giggled and extended his hand towards the boy. "Will you be my baby brother?"

The boy immediately gave in, extending his hand and locking it with Jungkook's. "Yes!"

Mr Jeon and Mrs Jeon looked at eachother before breaking out in a smile.
