[Ri Hyun's POV]

"This'll be your room from now on." Taehyung pushed open the bedroom door and I took in a huge breath, my eyes scanning over the room.

The walls were covered with a baby pink colour, freshly white curtains draping across the window. A large queen sized bed with light pink sheets sat against the wall with two small white nightstands on either side of the bed. My mouth hung open in utter shock as I stared at the design of the room. Everything I needed was in here, a huge closet, a study desk, a dressing table and even a small sofa in the corner of the room. The room was basically the colour of soft pink and white, it looked very dreamy. It was even better than my own room.

"It's beautiful. . ." I trailed off, feeling myself get sucked into the room.

"I didn't know exactly what colour you'd like, so I guess pink is the most ideal one." Taehyung spoke up beside me, his lips tugging up into a shy smile.

"It's amazing, Taehyung. I love it." I said truthfully, a genuine smile spreading across my face.

I walked into the room slowly, feeling my own heart burst with excitement. Mrs Kim and her husband agreed to let me stay at their home despite my constant rejection. My own home was only opposite theirs but they opposed to the idea of me living alone.

"I'll leave you to unpack." Taehyung said softly, placing my bag onto the floor next to my bed before heading out of the room. He turned and gave me one last smile before closing the door.

I quickly opened my bag and unpack my clothes, admiring the room at the same time. When I was done I released a sigh, turning my head to look at the house I used to live in.

"Everything is gonna change from now on. You'll be living with us, and forget about your past."

"So you'll be my new family?"

"Yeah."

A sad smile formed on my lips and I turned away, climbing up to my bed. I pulled my knees close to my chest and rested my head on my knee as I let my mind drift away.

A soft tap on my shoulder woke me up. My eyes slowly flutter open slowly and I sat up, rubbing the side of my head to wear off the sleepiness. Taehyung sat in front of me cross legged, the smile on his lips soft. The room was almost dark signalling evening time and I stared at Taehyung, a blank look on my face.

He seemed to be amused by my stare and tilts his head, the smile on his lips widening. "Are you awake princess?"

His voice snapped me out of my daze and I blinked, my head bobbing up and down sleepily. "Yeah."

He chuckled and moved next to me, ruffling my hair. "My mom cooked dinner, lets go eat."

"Okay." I whispered, climbing out of bed. When my feet touched the floor, I pushed myself up but failed miserably. My legs buckled underneath me and I felt myself fall quickly but managed to hold onto the nightstand just in time. Taehyung seemed to noticed my fall and rushed over, his face the definition of worry—

"Are you okay? Why did you fall?" He asked, his voice laced with concern.

"No, no. I'm okay," I shook my head, laughing weakly. "Just a leg cramp."
