"Kim Taehyung.." She mumbled as she suddenly recalled when Taehyung introduced himself earlier.

She clearly knows who Taehyung is ; Kim Minsu's one and only son. She only learned about Kim Minsu being her late husband's boss the past weeks his assistant met her. He told her the detail about why he came to meet her. She had to admit that she's shocked to hear it at first but then she understood Mr Im decision was all the best for Nayeon. She's the only treasure he ever had.

And his decision also involved her and her children.

She couldn't say anything when the assistant said that Nayeon is now unofficially Taehyung's fiancee. It was purely Mr Kim decision and it will give him fully right on Nayeon. He will support her if she wants to further her studies. And Jisoo will get it too since she's someone related to Nayeon.

And she's also been informed that Mr Kim has been watching Nayeon the moment Mr Im pass away. It kind of bother her; he must learned already of how she treated Nayeon. How she always scold the poor girl over something she didn't do. His assistant told her that once Mr Kim got back from overseas, he'll bring Nayeon to stay with his family.

He'll reveal everything to Nayeon and whatever her decision will be, he'll respect her decision.

"I'm home!" A loud voice coming from the living room interupt her thought. She shook her head , trying to shoo away the thought before a smile plastered on her face. She got up, approaching the latter who still standing in front of the door.

"Oh, You're home. Go take a shower then I'll prepare you lunch. Ah,and don't forget to ask Jisoo and Nayeon to have a lunch together." She patted her son's wide shoulder as her nodded.

A smile crept up as he nodded,He then made his way towards his room while the older prepare the dishes for them to have a lunch.

"I said I'm okay Jisoo"

"No,you still can't walk properly . Just stay at home and I'll tell the teacher the reason of your absence." She insisted,totall not agree with the fact that Nayeon wants to go to school.

"Jisoo..." She made a cute puppy eyes,hoping that Jisoo will let her go.

The older repeatively shook her head while making a cross using her arms. "No means no"

Nayeon pouted,she badly wants to go to school. It's not serious injury that Jisoo had to ban her from going to school. She still can walk eventho' by relying(?) On someone to help her. Hey,there's Taehyung to help her,right?

She's sure that he would gladly help her; he promise to be by her side,remember?

"Okay then! I already inform to mom and don't you ever try to go to school!" She warned.

She silently watched Jisoo excused herself from her mother.

Nayeon sighed as she looked around, as if searching for something not to make her feel bored at home. To her dismay,there's nothing on her desk except books and some novels. Meanwhile Jisoo's desk almost empty if only she doesn't put her leftover snack.

Huh, now she regret of not buying any board games before. She thought it'll only waste her time and she was sure that she will never have a time to be bored,not at all.
Now,her eyes fixed on the phone before hands reaching for it.

Should she text Taehyung to pick her up? Should she chat him ? If she do that ,won't he feel weird? Like she suddenly chat him first.

She heard a knock,not very loud. As if the knocker was hesitant and she barely heard it.

"Jisoo didn't lock the door,mother"

There's only her and Mrs Kim and who else could be the one who knocked except Mrs Kim?

Her eyes followed as the older figure approach her. Her usual cold eyes that she always send to her was now gone. There's only sorrow eyes and Nayeon couldn't explain of why she would has that kind of eyes.

Did something happen?

"What is it?"

"I-I have something to tell. Regarding your late father's will" she stuttered a bit,not daring to look into Nayeon's eyes.

Meanwhile the girl,frowned upon hearing that. What's wrong with her late father's will? Is there a mistake?

"Someone came to our house past weeks and he said something about your father" She stopped,silently observing Nayeon's reaction. She expected her to be shock and she was right, Nayeon was indeed surprised by her statement.

"What about it?"

"Huh.. Even after he died, he just wouldn't stop messing with my life,your father" The older put his palms to cover her whole face. She's absorbed in her own thought, forgetting about Nayeon who wait for her next words.

"I don't know what does he wants! He makes me suffer by leaving you with me while you're not even my daughter! I can't even marry another man just because of his stupid will!"

"M-mother.." She stuttered, tears rolling down her cheeks. Mrs Kim words hurts her. Yeah,it's truth that she was forced to take care of her because she was left with no option since Nayeon's real mother was nowhere to be known.

Nayeon learnt that Mrs Kim wasn't really glad that Nayeon is her responsibility. She knew the moment her father's will was announced,her step mother's reaction shows of how much she loathed the younger girl.

Nayeon has no choice except be patient with Mrs Kim attitude. She's the only guardian she has,afterall.

And she bear herself to just face her wrath until she feels confident and older enough to move out,leaving the house and bad memories she ever made with the woman.

"Someone will come and take you out of here,living with them. Oh,I'm so glad that you finally will go out from this house . I'm so sick of seeing you everyday,reminding me of your father!"

"Mothe--" She was about to talk when the older woman cut her with loud and harsh tone.

"I'm not your mother! The moment your father died, you and I no longer have any connection! I take care of you because I pitied you. You were so little yet no one wants to raise you but now I regret my decision! You're just a jinx that brings no luck to my family" She ended her words with little pressure. She gave a tight grip on Nayeon shoulder as the girl sobbed.

Nayeon's used to it; she grow up hearing those words almost everyday. But she couldn't help whenever she mentioned that no one wants to raise her. It's like there's no one who love her.

As Mrs Kim stopped talking, the room was filled with Nayeon's little sob. Rage took over her as she didn't feel anything watching the younger crying. Her purpose was to tell her with calm and slow talk at first but seeing Nayeon's face just remind her of how her miserable her life is with Nayeon existence.

"Listen to me.." She grabbed her jaw,making her to look into her eyes.

She doesn't get any respond since Nayeon's still crying,unable to say any words.

"When the Kims come and ask you to stay with them,I want you to agree. It's burdening to keep you longer . What a jinx! And you should be glad that they are rich enough to support you."

Nayeon nodded; she understand nothing about what Mrs Kim said but for sure,she will finally leave this house,house full of bad memories. She's glad that someone willingly take her out from the house but she's scared; what if Mrs Kim sell her? What if the Kims were bad people?

Mrs Kim then release her grip on her jaw before making a way to the door,wanting to leave the room as fast a possible. She couldn't bear herself being with Nayeon for too long. She loved Nayeon but that was before Mr Im died and left her with such will that brings her no benefit at all.

She was about to open the door when suddenly turned her back once again, eyes with full of hatred. "And oh ,I want you to tell them of how good I treat you for the past years. I want you to convince them to support Jisoo's studies too."
