jisoo woke up the next morning with a horrible headache like always. she was at work until late and the short hours she had to actually sleep she didn't. her mind was corrupted with thoughts of all sorts, not allowing her to ride the wave to sleepytown.

as she stumbled down the stairs, she saw taehyung, chaeyoung and jimin all sitting in the living room watching tv.

"hey, sleepyhead. how'd you sleep?" chaeyoung asked, her eyes still fixed on the screen in front of her.

"horribly. what time is it?" jisoo croaked, her throat dying of thirst.

"two."

jisoo choked on her water. "say what now?"

jimin stretched his arm out to pull up his sleeve and read the time on his watch. "it's 2:14."

"wow, i honestly didn't think i would've slept for that long." she sighed. "but what're you watching?"

"running man. the latest episode."

"without me? are you crazy?" jisoo dropped the glass into the sink and jumped on to the couch. "what happened?"

"relax, this is just the opening scene." taehyung chuckled. "jaesuk is teasing kwangsoo again about his haircut. you know, the usual. they haven't introduced the guests or the concept yet."

"thank god." jisoo fanned her face.

"you can watch this later." taehyung dragged jisoo off the couch to make her stand up. "we have some place important to be."

"we do?" jisoo's eyes widened.

"we do." taehyung said with a strong voice. "now go get changed, dress casual."

as soon as he said that, he walked away to his own room and jisoo collapsed back on the couch. jimin paused the tv to let out a cute laugh.

"your face-" he managed to say between giggles.

jisoo ignored him and looked straight to chaeyoung. "what does that mean?"

"it means go wear something nice since he's gonna take you somewhere nice." chaeyoung deadpanned.

jisoo squealed and ran up the stairs to her room. excited was an understatement. she felt all the stages of euphoria but a small part of her was a little afraid. afraid of giving herself to someone else after minho.

jisoo didn't possess much nice clothing so she settled with what she felt like was okay. it was an oversized light beige fuzzy sweatshirt and black leggings with a pair of trainers.  she applied natural makeup and let her hair down from its ponytail.

she dragged her brush through the knots and tangles until it was finally smooth. she put her phone, wallet and extra necessities in her small purse and then went downstairs.

taehyung stood at the foot of the stairs wearing an adorable matching beige sweatshirt and black jeans. he placed a pair of yellow tinted round sunglasses on his face and handed a similar pair to jisoo.

she pointed at both their outfits with an amused expression. "did you- did you plan this?"

"i don't believe in coincidences. it must be fate." he wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "fate." he whispered again into her ear making her laugh.

like a gentleman, he opened the passenger door for her and closed it behind her. as he circled around the front of the car and to the driver's seat, jisoo wondered just how lucky she was.

"so where are we going?" jisoo asked.

taehyung cracked a smile at her curiosity. it was her tenth time asking. "first, i have to stop by the store and get a few things. i hope you don't mind." he looked to her after pulling the brake at the traffic light.

"of course not."

"did i tell you already that you look so beautiful today?" his smile reached so far up his face that he looked otherworldly.

"and other days?" jisoo teased.

"hmmm." taehyung titled his head and jisoo jokingly took offence. "you look beautiful every day."

jisoo gave him a tender smile. "you don't look so bad yourself."

-

"how many things are you buying?" jisoo said shocked as taehyung continued to drop snacks and food and toys in their trolley. the customers and staff alike stared at them and jisoo felt like crawling into a hole.

"i'm done." taehyung said with a killer smile.

after loading the bags into the trunk and back seats of his car, taehyung started to drive again for another ten minutes.

"we're here!" he finally said and jisoo read the sign.

"행복한 고아원" (happy orphanage)

taehyung grabbed a handful of bags with jisoo behind him and opened the majestic doors to the orphanage.

"children, i'm home!" he shouted in a honey like voice and the echo reached all parts of the building.

tens of children came running from all direction. a couple came down the stairs, a few from the kitchen and even from the vents a little boy crawled out.

"i know you want to be like indiana jones but you can't go climbing the vents for dinosaur bones." taehyung scolded the little kid. he placed all the bags in the kitchen and sat down in the living room where all the kids joined him.

"you didn't come for so long." a little boy named jeongin cried.

"yeah!" another one named seungmin joined in. "a whole two weeks." he yelled and put up four fingers.

jisoo laughed whole heartedly. the relationship between the kids and taehyung made her understand why he wanted a child so badly. having an abortion would've shattered his heart and jisoo now fully understood why.

she sort of took a back seat and watched taehyung's interactions with the adorable children.

"who's that pretty girl?" chan pointed to jisoo.

"is she your girlfriend?" jisung asked, pronouncing the 'r' as a 'w' making it sound like 'girlfwend'.

"oooohhhh." felix laughed.

taehyung looked to jisoo and caressed her cheek gently.

"she's someone very special to me."

"ew, them two touched each other." changbin said in disgust.
