To Belong

BEGINNING

Wind blowing softly taking fallen dried leaves with it to travel in the sky passing through buildings and birds, after long journey the wind lost it's strength to carry the leaves falls into the ground some landed on top soft silver hair.

Jimin pushing back his hair making the leaves fall into the ground, he take a deep breath and exhale while closing his eyes, opening his eyes he contemplating at the gate before him, children laughter and screaming can be heard from behind it, after a long time he hesitantly raising his right hand to grip the gate's handle.

He open the gate slightly making enough space for him to squeeze through and close it quietly, he looks around and walks toward left side of the courtyard cautiously.

A moment later he hear noises from far, he hurriedly hide behind the nearest tree heart beating fast panic rose up as the noise become louder towards him, he feels relieved once a bunch of children ran pass through with caretakers on their tail.

Once he made sure nobody's there he ran towards the building and enter through window, once he set foot inside the corridor he press his body sticking to the wall and walk slowly.

After a long walk he arrives in-front of the door he looking for, he knocks on the door softly and a muffled voice answered "Come in." He enter the room and was greeted with rapping by a man facing his back "A-yoo Bang in the room, doin-" he stop once he sees who his guest is when he turned around while rapping "Hello Jimin, it's been awhile" his face softened with a smile "It's been awhile Bang-nim" Jimin bow his head slightly.

Bang offered him to sit, once they're seated they stay silent, Bang's afraid to open his mouth while Jimin just looking at the pictures in the room "So what did you want from me?" Jimin break the silent with soft voice so he won't sounded harsh towards the man, but it didn't work Bang jumped slightly face hardened "Jimin, I know you have bad memories in here and-" Jimin tear his eyes away from the pictures to stare at the man "Bad?" Bang rubs his face "Alright I know i'm a failure as orphanage director since I let few human traffickers infiltrated as workers and kidnapped you almost sold you to other country and I also let you get bullied-"

BANG!! Jimin slammed the table with his fist startling the director face white in shock and guilt "That's not what I'm here for" Jimin said with straight face and calm tone making the man frightened "Ye-yes... I found your mother" Jimin's eyes wide in shock, he opens his mouth but close it again speechless from the unexpected news.

The director eyed Jimin and continue "Actually her lawyer found me looking for you." Jimin frown but still silent listening to the man "I can't tell you the details since he didn't tell me, it's better if you go meet him personally" he handed a business card which Jimin took and shove it into his pocket and stand to leave.

"I'm retiring" Jimin paused "A young priest will replace me" Jimin open the door "He better be able to protect the children in this damned orphanage" he said before closing the door.

Jimin lean his back on the door sighing before he walks out from window toward the backyard, he walks further until he stop under an old willow tree sitting down head leaning back he close his eyes.

A little boy curled up under a tree sobbing softly "Hey why are you here all alone?" He startled and look up seeing a boy of his age which he never seen before, the stranger frowns and lift his hand wiping his tears away "Why are you sad?" The little boy looks away

"You can tell me, I'll listen you know" he flop down beside him, he hesitates before giving in "They don't want to be with me and called me ugly" he rest his chin on top of his buckles up knees and pouted

"Why?" The stranger look at him tilting his head to the side "Because no one wants me, even my parents abandoned me since I was still an infant, leaving me in-front of this orphanage, all I have of them is a baby blue soft blanket and a note telling my name" the stranger hugs him and cried, the little boy confused "I want you..." he whispered, the little boy blinked his eyes "Wha-" before he finish the stranger shout "You're not unwanted! I want you as my friend NO! As brother!" The little boy was a little taken back and smiles for the first time in his life.

"I'm Taehyung, I just arrived here, 6 years old from Daegu, I like dogs, my parents died from accident that's why I'm here now" he said with hand reaching out for a handshake, the little boy stand up and take his hand "My name is Jimin, also 6 years old, I likes all fluffy animals"

The boys smiles brightly under the tree.

Jimin opened his eyes and sees it's already dark 'I fell asleep' he gets up and leave the orphanage with heavy heart.
