On June 7th, I discovered my father pass away and decide to move. I'm going to miss my hometown. My friends. My home. My memories. We moved into an apartment to stay there. My mother has to find a new job there.

She went to a dating site and found a man. She fell in love with him. The first day I met him and his son.

"Hello, Ye Rim!" He says smiling. "And this must be your daughter, Hwa-Young." He stared at me like he's disgusted by me. "Come inside. Hwa-young, my son is in the backyard."

I'm not a little kid. I wanted to say something bad but mother won't let me. "Okay, thank you."

I walk off to the backyard. It was big and I see beautiful flowers. A boy about my age was laying on the hammock. He was reading a book. He looks up and saw me. He has blonde hair and beautiful brown eyes. He got off and walks towards me.

He seems like a nice boy. Maybe he's a playboy, gets all the girls and dump them. He looks so... wow.

"Hello, my name is Taehyung," he says smiling. He's not like his father. My heart fluttered when he smiled at me.

"Hwa-young," I said. "I moved here and my mother met your father at a dating site."

"Why did you move here? Is it because of my father?"

"Yes. And that my dad passed away."

I feel tears in my eyes. I never show my feelings to a random stranger or anyone just my dad.

Taehyung

God, I'm an idiot. How did I not see the sadness in her eyes? They tugged at my heart as they fill with tears.

"I'm so sorry," I said. Tears formed around her blue eyes. I give her a hug. "Hey, it's okay." Then something pops up in my head. "Can I show you something?"

"Sure," she said, letting me go.

"Follow me!"

She looks so beautiful with her long black hair and brilliant crystal blue eyes. I can't wait to show her this.

 Hwa-young

The mixture of our skin touches, there is a spark. I know I'm young but you can't deny it. I just want to get to know this boy better.

It's almost been 30 minutes from our walk.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"It's a surprise!" He said smiling.

"Is it always this foggy out here?"

"Most of the time, yeah. We are almost there."

Taehyung was still holding my hand and he held me deeper into the woods. His touch made me feel safe and calm. I haven't felt that for a long time.

He decides to give me a piggyback ride over to his surprise place. I wonder what it will be.

We made it. I see a treehouse, looks big and brand new.

"Well, here it is," he says.

"Are we going up there?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's where I go to get my mind off everything."

"Oh, ok. I'm kind of afraid of heights."

"Hwa-Young, it's okay. I'll be right behind you the whole time."

"Thank you."

I look up at the little house. "You ready to climb?" He asks.

"You'll be behind me the entire time?"
