We arrived home and got out of the car. It's already lunch time. So we headed to the kitchen. Ahjuma already prepared the food.

Taehyung and I sat down and started to eat.
" Where is Mrs. Choi?" Taehyung asked.

" She is going out with her friends." Ahjuma answered and he nodded.

" Eat more. You will recover soon." I scooped some food for him.

He ate up and enjoyed it. I wasn't hungry but still I had to eat some. Then I was full.

" I'm full. You can continue to eat." I drank water and walked out.

" Full? You haven't finished it." Taehyung said and I turned to look at him.

" Because I'm full." I glared at him and walked to my room. Annoying!

I went to my room. I lied on the bed and felt stressed. Why do I have to feel it?

" Staying home makes me stress and how can I study at University?" I talked to myself and covered the face with the pillow.

Later, I took my laptop out and watched Netflix. Aigoo... I don't know which drama I have to watch.

An hour later!

I heard footsteps in front of the door. Maybe Taehyung comes to his room. I ignored it but I felt bored. I closed the laptop and walked to his room.

I knocked the door, " Taehyung?" I called his name.

" Yeah?" He answered from his room and then he opened the door.

I cleared the throat, " what are you doing?"

" Nothing. Just want to chill and check my phone." He smiled.

" Oh! Is it ok?" I asked.

" the phone?" He asked and I nodded. " Or! It's fine. I like it." He smiled widely. Aish!

" Great." I nodded lightly.

" what do you want?" He asked and I looked at him.

" Hmmm..... I want to give you my phone numbers." I said.

" Okay." He took his phone out of his pocket and gave it to me.

I turned the phone on and went to the contacts. I gave him my phone number and saved it as ' Bora'. I gave him the numbers of the people in my house.

I gave his phone back, " Here's my phone number and the people here."

He looked through it, " Okay. Thank you, Bora-shi!" He showed his box smile. Tf! His smile just attracts me.

I looked away, " I have to go." I walked to my room.

Evening!

My dad was back from work and my mom was back from hanging out with her friends too. I went downstairs to have dinner.

My dad and my mom were already there but they looked like having bad day. What's wrong?

I sat on the chair and ajhuma prepared the dinner. I didn't see Taehyung, " Ahjuma? Where's Taehyung?" I asked.

" He ate dinner a while ago and maybe he's at the garden now." She said and I nodded.

I looked at my parents and they seemed so disappointed.
I tried to talk to them, " Let's eat, omma appa." I scooped food to them.

My dad looked at me and I looked at his scary eyes. I stopped and looked at him for a moment.

" Do you have anything to tell me?" I asked.

" Have you ever thought of going to University?" He asked immediately.

I was shocked and looked at him. I didn't say anything.

" Bora!!!" He yelled my name and it made me feel so nervous.

I shook my head, " I have never thought about it because I feel stressed." I said.

He hit the table hardly and everyone startled.
" Stress? You just stay at home and go shopping. How can you feel stressed, huh?!!!" He raised his voice and my tear rolled down without knowing.

" Honey, calm down...." my mom tried to calm him down.

" Like I told you, I don't know which department should I go. I totally don't have goal." I was shaking.

He giggled, " Aigooo my daughter! How can you be like this? Everyone has to have their own goals."

" I know..."

" If you know, why don't you do it? You think you're in the rich family and you can have everything you want without doing anything?" He frowned. " If you think like that, it's totally terrible. I can't stay with you forever. I can't spoil you forever. So you have to study and get a job to earn money." He said and I just looked down and cried. I feel wrong.

" I'm sorry. You might be disappointed to have me as a daughter." I said while crying.

" If you know we are disappointed, why don't you make us proud,huh?" He crossed his arms.

I cried even more and my mom walked to comfort me. I feel useless.

" Yeah! I'm a bad daughter. I don't deserve to be your daughter. I'm useless!!" I yelled and ran out of the house.

I unlocked the car and opened the door. Suddenly, Taehyung grabbed my wrist and took me to the passenger seat. Then he drove off.

While we were on the car, I was crying the whole time. I felt so bad. My dad never raised his voice to me.

" I will take you to somewhere relaxing." Taehyung said and I couldn't talk to him.

After that, he took me to Han river. We parked the car and he held my hand to walk along the river. I was still crying. Then we sat on the bench.

I covered my face and cried out loud. Taehyung patted my back softly.

" Everything will be okay." He said.

" Am I that useless?" I said while crying.

" Nah! You're not. You're so precious to them. And everything they said is right. It's time for you to set your goal." He said. He wants to tell me that  I'm wrong?

I looked up, " But.... I really don't know what I want to be."

" Let's think about what's your favorite things or hobby." He said and I started to think.
I like drawing and clothes.

" I like drawing." I said.

" Drawing?" He asked. " Are you good at it?."

" Hmm... Yeah I think so. I used to draw many pictures. I will show you when we go back." I said.

" Arroseo! And what's else?"

" I like clothes." I said.

" Clothes?" He raised his eyebrows. " Hmm.... I think you have to study fashion designer." He said.

I stopped crying and felt interested. I feel motivated. Does he motivate me? I feel so much better.

I looked at him and smiled, " I think you're right. I will try to search for university." I wiped my tears and looked at the dark sky.

" Do you feel better?" He leaned to me.

I nodded, " I feel motivated." I turned to look at him.
" I never get any motivation from anyone like this."

He giggled, " I just discuss a bit not that much."

" But you make me feel better. I feel so good when I have someone to help me solve my problem." I looked at him and he looked at me.

" If it's so, then I will be always here for you. I won't let you be alone." He showed his box smile. Taehyung— how could your smile be this cute?

I smiled without knowing and looked at him. I never feel this kind of feeling. The feeling when we have someone to talk with. I never have it. I think Taehyung is my true friend.
