I wake up the next morning in my bed. I get out of bed and run my eyes to see Taehyung with his bags packed and at the front door where mom and dad stood. I walk up to them and he looks down at me.

"Hey kid, I'm going to live with my grandma so, be good for mom and dad okay?" He says and I nod. He pats my head before giving mom and dad a hug.

For the next few years I heard about Taehyungs growth with the group BTS and their hardships. Once they debuted I made sure to watch them and support their music. I was finally able to start public school but it was a bit scary, especially since I didn't know anyone and I was the only outsider there. I was able to make good grades but I just felt out of place.

As much as he didn't like me, I started to miss Taehyung a bit. I just kind of missed his presence. Every so often he'll send a letter. He didn't really mention me and when he did it was just a simple stay out of my room. But, at least he acknowledged me.

"Ly, it's Taehyung on the phone, come wish him a happy birthday." My mom shouts and I get up and jog to the kitchen and nervously take the phone

"Hello?"

"Hey kid."

"Hi Taehyung, happy eighteenth birthday."

"Thanks kid. Are you being good?"

"Yes, I got number one in class ." I smile and I hear him hum amusingly.

"Is that so? I see public school is treating you well?" He asks and I hum and sit at the table and mom leaves the kitchen.

"Well, the teachers are but...the kids-not so much." I sigh and there was shifting.

"Are they bullying you? Do you have any friends?"

"Yes and no. I'm an outsider so I'm being treated like one and nobody wants to be my friend. I just kind of stick to myself." I sigh and rest my head in my palm.

"Do I need to come home and teach them a lesson?" Taehyung asks and even though I knew he was joking, it made me feel a bit better.

"No, work more on your dream. Fighting!" I smile and he laughs a little.

"Alright LyLy. Well I have to go but tell mom and dad I love them, okay?"

"Okay."

"Oh and um Lyra."

"Yes?"

"I love you." Taehyung says a bit quietly and I smile and sit up.

"I love you too Taehyung."
