Before I knew I was in my friends' house and enjoying a delicious lunch together. They were really happy to hear that I finally patched up with Jin. Joon was then giving me advices as usual and Tori giggling at them, teasing him. I was so happy to be able to smile freely after such a long period of suffocation. The memories of that sweet night still etched in my head making me blush.

Later, we had a hearty discussion about their wedding which would take place in our hometown where we all spent our school years. I was so excited to meet my other friends too since I had to apologise to them for not contacting for so long. Although, there was still someone my heart desired to see and I made up my mind to meet him. I bid my farewell to the couple and took a taxi to the museum. I told Jin that I would come by a cab so he didn't have to pick me up. He didn't question much and that was a sigh of relief. I reached the destination in a span of 15 minutes since the museum was not so far away. I paid the driver and walked quickly towards the backyard. There he was with all his glory. Standing there like a magnificent statue. There was something about this boy that made him so peculiar and so appealing. He noticed my presence as his head turned towards my direction, a beautiful boxy smile lighting up his beautiful face. I smiled back and waved at him also earning a wave from him. "Hello Madame, what brought you here?" He was a bit confused at my sudden appearance. "Well, I wanted to bid you goodbye young friend. I'll be leaving in 3 days." As soon as those words slipped my mouth his smile faded as if he heard a bad news..."Oh, very well then. Have a safe journey Madame." He tried to compose his feelings and smile but he failed. "You look so sad buddy. What's the matter?" I asked him genuinely concerned. "I-it's just you were the only f-friend I-I had made h-here and y-you're leaving me too." He was clearly holding his tears back, noticing how his voice trembled when he spoke. I was heartbroken. He seemed so disturbed. "You know when I told you that I'm a tourist too? I lied to you. This is where I live." I was taken aback. He was literally shaking now. I held his hand and pressed it assuring him that he can trust me. He nodded and we both sat down on a bench. "My past unholds many secrets maybe some may sound too rough to you but well they are a part of me." He gazed into my eyes and I returned him a friendly look telling him that he can continue and he carried on. "My mother was forced into marrying my father who was a drug dealer and would abuse us almost everyday. I was a child when my mum committed suicide. I was just 12 when this happened, resulting in everlasting emotional pain. I cried everyday. I stopped going to school. I stopped socialising. My father threw me out when I turned 18. He wanted me to be involved with his criminal acts but I refused. Since then, I started living in this backyard. The owner of this museum hired me as a caretaker of the priceless posessions of this museum and gave me a small room here to live." He was breathless. He sighed making me snap back to reality. "I'm so sorry dear friend. I wasn't aware of your situation. I promise to return soon and meet you." He just smiled weakly in reply. I embraced him making sure that he knows I'll stay loyal to my promise. I really want to help this boy. "Your husband is the luckiest man because he has you. You're so kind Madame. Please do return to meet me here I'll be waiting." He then broke the hug and I finally said goodbye to him. I'll miss him and I'll surely return soon.

Next day...

"So we still have two days, why not explore the place more?" Jin said with an excited smile. I nodded with a loving smile. I was loving this time with him, each and every moment felt like magic and I wanted to feel every inch of it. We got ready to tour for our outdoor tour. The tour guide was here  to receive us but when I saw him my jaw dropped. "Taehyung?!" I exclaimed with utter shock. He flashed a boxy smile which can make someone melt in an instance. "Hello Madame! I've started this new job from today and they appointed me to be your tour guide since I know alot of good tourist places." "Nice to see you again Taehyung." Jin said and smiled at him. "Pleasure, Sir. Ok, so these are the sites you're visiting today. Are you ready Mr and Mrs. Kim?" We both nodded and he started walking through the corridor followed by us. I knew it will be fun if he was around knowing how of a chatter box he can be. Gladly, Jin didn't show much reaction like previously when he got jealous.

The day was going really well with Taehyung continuously talking about random stuff. I kept laughing to his silly talks and Jin kept smiling. I was glad he was breaking through his tough shell and embracing softness. I was staring at him lovingly. I didn't notice two pair of eyes staring at me from a distance.

Third person's P.O.V:

He kept on blabbering about the places they were visiting and kept turning back to make sure they were following. He was talking about a famous art gallery and when he turned back to look at the couple and what he saw made his heart beat fast. He saw her eyes staring at her husband with immense love. He was smiling and looking at her. Taehyung's eyes were fixated at her and her only. If only he was... Wait! Why was he thinking about such stuff?! She was married and loved her husband why would she even look at him. Besides she considers him a small helpless boy who just came in her life randomly. There was nothing fancy about it. He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didnt notice two fingers snapping infront of him. It was  Serena. "Hey are you okay? You were talking about an art gallery right? Are we here?" He quickly jerked his thoughts away and bowed to them in apology and kept walking towards the art gallery.

The day was almost ending and so was Taehyung's happiness. When he was told he was going to be their tour guide he was so happy like never before. He was so happy to see her again and to be with her again. That embrace felt so warm. Her sensation sent shivers down his spine. Someone actually cared for him. He knew it was so wrong to think of a girl who's married and loves her husband but his mind won't stop replaying the day he met her. Why did it have to be the wrong person? Why did it have to be the person he can never have? But he was contented. Atleast she saw him as a friend. Atleast they can be friends. That's the only thing that matters. Besides, he got dreams to fulfill. These jobs were enough to feed him well. His main dream was to be a ballet teacher. His long lost desire was returning and he was suddenly feeling optimistic. Yes, he will achieve his dream no matter what.
