"I don't want to do this."

I look at Tae in fear as we pull into the driveway of a beautiful two story house.

"I know princess," He grabs my hand after turing the car off, "But it's for the best okay?" "Tae they're moving me schools

"I know princess," He grabs my hand after turing the car off, "But it's for the best okay?" "Tae they're moving me schools." My eyes water as i look over the beautiful house.

"I'll come over as much as i can," He sighs, "And I'll call you every night." Getting out if the car he grabs a few of my bags.

"I don't have a phone," I groan and get out, going to his side of the car, "How are we going to call?" "I'll get their number, okay?"

"You're here," Officer Kim walks to us smiling, "Finally." "You know how hard this is for her." Tae doesn't even face his dad as he carries my things to the porch.

I throw my backpack over my shoulder before following him. "Ready?" He sighs and i shake my head nervously.

"Okay." He knocks on the door.

The door open after a few short seconds, revealing my foster parents. Only after a few short days in the system, Mr. Kim was able to find me a couple relatively close to his and Tae's house.

The couple smiles bubbly at me, excited to meet their new foster kid, not caring that im almost eighteen.

The woman stands only a few inches taller than me and has a latina image. She looks like she can be anywhere between twenty and forty- lively and mature at the same time.

She has long light brown hair and beautiful brown eyes and olive skin. She has a distinct beauty mark next to her eye that gives her character.

Her husband is a tall African American man with short curly hair and dark green eyes that really stand out.

He looks around his mid thirties or early forties, but also seems to have a lot of energy. His smile is bright and despite his crooked front two teeth, he is really handsome for his age.

"Cee this is Nora and Liam,"  Mr. Kim speaks up, "Your new foster parents." I give a half smile and nod, not wanting to be rude.

"And this is my son-" "Nice to meet you," Tae shakes their hands, "I'm Winter's boyfriend." The couple smiles at us, "It's so nice to finally meet you, come on in."

We obey and walk into the house- enchanted by the gorgeous decorations. "I've never seen a house so fancy." I laugh and Tae chuckles, "It is nice."

"And it's all yours," Liam smiles, "As long as your with us feel free to make yourself at home." "Speaking of which," Nora skips up stairs, "We had your room set up for you."

I gulp before following them upstairs, Tae shortly behind me with my bags, "Calm down, princess," he whispers, "It's going to be alright."

I only nod before turning the corner into my new room. I raise my eyebrows and my jaw nearly drops at the sight.

Tae immediately throws my bags on the bed and runs to the chair swing, "Hey!" I giggle, "That's mine, not yours!"

Tae immediately throws my bags on the bed and runs to the chair swing, "Hey!" I giggle, "That's mine, not yours!"

Everyone in the room laughs as Tae pushes himself on the swing. "I take it that he'll be over often." Nora giggles and i nod, "If that's okay with you of course."

She gives me a small smile and nods, "As long as you're home before curfew." Liam speaks up raising an eyebrow at us.

"Curfew," i laugh nervously, "When is curfew?" "Ten." Him and Nora nod and i shrug-

It's not like i have anything else to do.

"Taehyung," Mr. Kim calls, "Let's go home." My eyes shoot to him hopefully, as he takes a deep breath nodding, "Okay."

"Tae," i pout as he stands up, "Don't leave me." I whisper grabbing his hands. "I'm not leaving you," he squeezes my hands, "I'm just giving you time to adjust to your new home."

"We'll let you two say your goodbyes." They walk out, shutting the door behind them and i let tears build in my eyes, "Tae i don't want to be here."

"I know," he cups my face, "But i swear i wouldn't leave you here if i didn't think it was the best thing for you, okay?"

I nod looking down, but his hands force me to look back at him. Leaning down he softly pecks my lips, "I'll always be here for you."

"I know you will." I tip toe to kiss him again, holding him close to me. "Taehyung," We pull back when his dad walks back in, "Come on we have to get home."

Tae nods before letting go of me, "I'll call you tomorrow." I can't bring myself to say anything, so instead i nod watching them leave down the stairs.

"So," Nora smiles from the doorway, "Do you have any requests for lunch?"  I give her a blank expression, questioning if she's serious.

"Im sorry, " she shakes her head, "I'm knew to the foster mom thing- or just plain mom thing." Shrugging i sit on the swing chair, "I understand."

Sighing she moves to sit on my bed, "Me and Liam bought this house when we got married," she smiles, "We were planning on having a ton of kids, but that wasn't in Gods plan. Once we found out i was infertile we signed up for fostering- and here we are."

"I'm so sorry" i smile sympathetically at her, but she shrugs,

"Everything happens for a reason."
