"my parents agreed to adopt you." Hyungwon said. I don't think I understood right. Somebody....wants me?

"Wh-what are saying? Your parents want to adopt me?" I repeated. He looked at me at the eye smile, then gave me a small nod.

"Correct. But... Are you ok about it? How do you feel?"

"But I don't want to cause them any trouble!" I replied.

"You're no trouble. Look at me." I was already looking but I made it more obvious that I was looking at him. "I get really bored at home. So you're going to be a big help in this family, actually." Hyungwon said.

"Ok... But I don't know how to thank you. Thank you for giving me a home." Hyungwon told me to wait there. He went to fill out some paperwork.

"Blanca?" I heard an unfamiliar voice call. It was definitely the voice of a female, a caring voice. I turned around at the direction of the voice. It was a beautiful woman who wore a white dress with yellow accessories. She was really pretty. Beside her stood a man. A man who was a lot taller than her. He didn't seem that scary, he seemed like a loving husband. And beside that man stood hyungwon.

I stood up, then bowed my head at them. "Hello." I simply said. I was scared to say something they didn't like, so I kept it simple.

"You look even more beautiful in person. We'll talk more later. Now, let's just get you home safely." Hyungwon's Mother said. She took me by the hand and led me outside of the doors. All the kids were looking at me. I feel sorry for them. They too want a nice home to stay in, a nice home with a family. But those kids or mean... They need to work harder on their attitudes first.

We entered the car. I sat down on the back, with hyungwon. "Mom, thank you so much for adoptiong her." Hyungwon won said, enthusiastically.

"It wasn't just your desicion, but I wanted to. I've always wanted to have a daughter, so right now... I'm super excited!" Hyungwon's Mother said.

"Excuse me... But what shall I call you?" I asked hyungwon's Mother.

"You can call me mother. I mean... If that's ok with you."

"Ok. It's fine with me." I replied. Though it does hurt to call mother to someone who's not my mom. But I'll get used to it. I miss my mom, but I have to stay strong for this family. I don't want to show them my weak side. I don't want to look depressed in front of them.

In the rest of the trip, we listened to the radio. There was a moment where the song go go by bts came on. Everyone started dancing. Well... Except for father, he was driving. Hyungwon was forcing me to dance. He just ended up tickling me.

"We are here." Father said. I looked at the house he pointed at. No way.

"Is... Is that your house? No way that is." The house looked big and so petty. It was so different from the style of life I was living in. They must have a lot of money. Hyungwon got off the car and signaled me to get off as well. We entered the house.

"Now please make yourself at home. Because this is your home now." Hyungwon said.

"Yes, if youre hungry, feel free to get anything out of the fridge. In this house we share our food. So don't be afraid to steal someone else's food." Father said.

"And if you want to watch anything...or get on the computer, feel free to do that too." Mother said.

"Thank you. Thank you." I said, feeling thankful for all they have done to me.

"Hyungwon, give Blanca a tour." Said father.

"Yes!" He agreed.  Hyungwon motioned me to follow him. "So this is the living room. You can sit or sleep here whenever you want. You can watch television too. We have Netflix and Viki." Hyungwon said. "Here's the kitchen. My mom usually cooks food, but if you want to cook yourself something... You can." The kitchen was quite big. It was really big actually. The countertops were shiny. Everything was so clean. "Here's the bathroom... And right over here is my room." He opened the door to his room. It was big but warm. He had video game posters. He also had a computer on his room and a big bed. His room was in the colors of white and red.
