Baby sat on the fire escape of the orphanage, hair moving with the wind. She sighed, looking out into the city. Seeing light after light turn off for the night. She softly smiled, remembering the events of today.
"What's got you so happy?" She heard a soft voice say behind her. "A lot, Kun." Baby turned looking at the boy, who lovingly smiled at her. "Is it Yoongi?" He sat down, putting his arm around the girl's shoulders, she immediately leaned her head onto his shoulder. "Yeah, we talked today. We played 20 questions. He cheesily asked for my number at the end." Kun faintly laughed. "I'm glad you're happy, bub."
Kun was a junior in high school too. As well as an orphan. He treated Baby like a sister. In both of their minds they were. They had a close relationship, going to each other for anything and everything. He was trustworthy. You could open up to him, you wouldn't need a barrier or a cage. His heart was always open for others.
"What am I missing out on?" Lucas' voice asked behind the two. They both chuckled. The boy sat next to them, placing his arm around Kun's shoulders, in a friendly way. "Nothing much." Baby stated. "Oh, come on, tell me Noona."
Lucas was a freshmen, as well as an orphan at the orphanage. Baby and Kun both saw him as a younger brother. He was a very tall little brother. He was a funny, sweet and kind boy. Could light up a room with a joke, a smile or a laugh. He wasn't the brightest of people, but that doesn't mean he isn't good with his words. Believe me, his compliments are heartfelt and endearing.
"It's getting late guys." Kun said, looking at his watch. "Let's start going in." He added, climbing through the window himself. Baby was about to follow but was stopped by Lucas.
"I bought this today Noona, I thought you'd like it." He handed a cassette to the girl. He climbed through the window, leaving Baby alone. She read what was on the tape.

She smiled down fondly at it. Looking up one last time at the night sky.

Yoongi sat on the court, late at night. Watching his friends play around. Laughing at them every once and a while. He watched the lights in the apartments above turn off one by one.
"What's got you all smiley, Yoongs?" Jin sat down next to the boy. "What do you think?" Jin smiles fondly at the younger. "That's what playing 20 questions can do to you." Jin teased.
Earlier on, Yoongi had told the boys about the events of today. They all teased him for it. Calling the boy whipped and so on. However, deep down they were happy for the boy. He had been in a bad place for a long time, and now he's got someone to keep him from doing anything stupid.
"Did you hea-" Jin was interrupted by his phone ringing.
A familiar tune reached Yoongi's ears. Gently humming along. His eyes widened. "What song is this?" He asked. "Er, Ashes by Lindi Ortega." Jin said confused.
Yoongi quickly got my phone out, unlocking it. He went straight to Spotify and typed into the search bar 'Ashes'. The second option displayed was by Lindi Ortega. He clicked on the given album.

Yoongi immediately clicked on the song named 'Ashes'.
You came to set my heart on fire Then you just left it to burn This cold dark ashes This cold dark ashes I earned I earned I earned
He smiled lovingly. Reaching for his earphones, he placed one in each ear. Humming along, he looked up to the sky. Seeing the final apartment light turn off.
