Taehyung's POV

It was the month of Summer. The trees were green and leafy. The flowers bloom at last and the Sun was shining splendidly.

The school was about to end. Excitement and sadness were mixed. I am excited to help again my grandparents in farming. It is what we do for a living.

The thought of not being at school studying and being with friends saddens me but it was not for long. The school will start again next year, and I bet it'll be a good one too.

I walked slowly, taking my time to observe and watch nature's treasure and beauty.

The flowers were dancing with the wind and dry leaves were falling from trees. And as the wind blew the fallen dry leaves to the east, there I saw an unfamiliar girl with short-length hair. Wearing a white beautiful dress.

The wind blew once again that made her hair get messed gorgeously and her dress flow so magically.

She looks like an angel.

A fallen angel.

"Taehyung-ah!" my grandmother's voice called that made my eyes tore off the angel. I greeted and bowed at her to show my respect, also kissed her cute chubby cheeks.

I saw grandma's bright smile after I kissed her.

The smile that when I see I always felt special.

"How's the end of the school?" She asked softly.

"It was fine" I answered as I reach for the basket full of different kinds of vegetables and fruits on it.

It looks heavy and it is. Grandma shouldn't be carrying this kind of thing. It's bad for her back and health. Where is her helper?

I scanned my eyes around to look for Sa Ji, grandma's helper. When I saw no one around but us, I also helped Grandma by guiding her way home.

Grandma and I walked back to our humble home. Disregarding the girl I saw earlier back then.

Who could that be anyway?

Grandma started cooking delicious meals and side dishes when we arrive home. I thought she's making lots because it's the end of the school year. She always does that to celebrate my hard work, but this time I think it's too much. She even brings out a long table that she only uses on special occasions.

"Grandma?"

"Taehyung will you bring the side dishes to the table please?" She asked, ignoring my call but I quickly did what's been told.

I tried to call her again multiple times but it was as if she cannot hear me even if I scream my lungs out. So I just followed every command to help her without having a single piece of information as to what is this feast of foods for.

"Sa Ji!" Grandma happily welcomed her helper that recently came. Now there she is. Where she'd been? What if Grandma can't do things by herself while I was away earlier? What would happen to her?

I am staring at Sa Ji while these thoughts are running inside my head. Sa Ji is just a few years older than me. Even though she's our helper, I treat her as my Noona. She treats me as her dongsaeng also.

Grandma was talking happily to Sa Ji, and I still staring at Sa Ji, however, that stare tore off at her when a girl wearing a white beautiful dress stepped inside our house.

She's the angel.

I mean, she's the girl I saw earlier when I was walking home. She looks pretty and shy.

"Taehyung-ah!" Sa Ji and Grandma both called. The girl's and mine's eyes met as she glanced at me when both my girls called me. I tore my eyes off at hers, it felt danger. The kind of danger where you'd know that she'd bring trouble and a mess to your life. I started stepping forward towards them when they told me to come near.

My eyes automatically went back to hers as if it's being called by its owner.

"Taehyung, meet Sana, my sister" Sa Ji introduced when I neared. "She will be staying with us for now" Sa Ji added.

"Until when?" I asked out of curiosity because as I look at her, I then realized that we're at the same age, but I guess it came out rude that my grandma had to slightly elbow me at my waist.

"Sorry, just curious," I apologize.

Sa Ji just smiled brightly, a sign that it's fine. "We don't know until when she'll be staying, our parents in Japan are not sure yet" Sa Ji Noona explained.

"Don't worry Halmeoni, Sana will help out." Grandma being Grandma laughed and said "It's fine, there's no need" She's always like that, not accepting others' offer of help.

She always says "If I can, I will do it myself and If I cannot, then I will ask for help"

Halmeoni = Grandmother
Noona = Older sister ( called only by males. )

"Come, let's get inside. The food will get cold" Grandma offered, fully letting them inside our house. The four of us walked to the dining room, Grandma and Sa Ji in front of us, leading the way, while I and this girl are behind them. Then there I realized what the feast is for.

Oh, So it's for the angel.

I mean, for the girl, yeah that's what I said.

The meal has begun, there's a lot Grandma has prepared. Never in my life, she cooked this much for me.

Wow Grandma, thanks for the love. Please note my sarcasm. Though, I am thankful for the love she has for me, no sarcasm involved.

The whole meal, Grandma tried to talk to Sana whose sitting in front of me but Sana only nods and shooks her head every time Grandma asks her questions.

Don't she have any voice? or is it just that Grandma's food is so delicious that she prefers to focus on what she's eating?

Yeah, if I were her, I'd also do that.

Grandma's dishes are the best in the whole wide world.

Our meal ended with me and Sa Ji washing the dishes. It's always like that after mealtime. Grandma would cook the food, me and Sa Ji would wash dishes.

Grandma and Sana are in the living area. Our house isn't that big. You stand at the very center of this house then you can see every room. Living room, dining room and kitchen, comfort room, and bedroom. Just the basics.

"Do you like Sana?" Sa Ji asked whispering, her eyes following where I was looking, or rather where who am I looking at while rinsing plates.

"Of course...not" I answered after seconds.

"Took you time though" Noona teased.

I splash some water at her making her laugh and shriek. She also splashed some onto me, making us create more mess instead of cleaning up.

While Sa Ji's enjoying splashing water at me. I looked back again to where Sana was and saw her walking out of the house silently.
