*I will be updating "love at first sight" every Sunday, Thursday, and Saturday. Sorry in advanced if I miss any updates! Enjoy the chapter♡*

Mr. Kim struggled to get a sentence out as Taehyun stared at him, waiting for an answer.

"Taehyun, I'm going to get straight to the point..." He said. Taehyun was nervous but tried not to show it. What could Mr. Kim possibly have to say that was so difficult to come out?

"Do you know who they are?" He reaches for something in his pocket and takes out a picture of Taehyun's parents.

"Yes, they're my parents. Why? Are they ok? What happened?" Taehyun nervously asked. Why did Mr. Kim ask that? Without knowing, Taehyun started fidgeting with his fingers and he couldn't seem to look at Mr. Kim.

"They are not your parents, Taehyun. They were your aunt and uncle. I'm sorry you had to find out this way, kid." Mr. Kim explained, looking nervous. What did he just say? Taehyun must heave heard wrong, right?

"What?" Taehyun asked. "How is that even possib- wait did you say were as in past tense?" He asked. It stayed quiet for a moment, they were both trying to process this.

"Unfortunately, yes. They died in that fire. Their burns were too severe to treat and they died on the way here." Mr. Kim said. Taehyun couldn't believe it. Was all of this true? No, he thought. It can't be true. Mr. Kim must be mistaken.

Taehyun kept telling himself that it's not true but he felt the water droplets forming in his eyes. He slowly started crying, not knowing what to do or say.

"What's gonna happen to me?" Taehyun asked as he wiped his tears. 'Am I an orphan?' Taehyun thought, but he didn't ask. 

"After you get discharged from the hospital, you will come with me to the police station and from there, we'll contact Social Services and take you to your parents, ok?" He said. Taehyun stayed silent as he couldn't comprehend what was happening. All he could do was look down at his fidgeting fingers and silently cry.

"I know this is a lot to take in especially for a youngster like you but bit by bit, this will all end. You're not alone, kid." Mr. Kim said, trying to comfort crying Taehyun.

"Can you please leave, sir? I want to rest and think about all of this." Taehyun explained as this was all a lie. He didn't wanna be alone. He wanted to be with someone, even if it was Mr. Kim but he couldn't handle hearing much more.

"I'll be right outside if you wanna continue this conversation later." He said getting up from his chair. Taehyun watched him walk away and finally closing the door. He immediately bursted into tears at the thought of his supposed parents dead.

"What am I gonna do? I have no money, clean clothes, and now no parents." His tummy grumbled. "Great now I'm hungry too." Taehyun mumbled to himself as he rubbed his tummy.

What could he do?

Taehyun let out a sigh and he couldn't help but think, 'why didn't my parents keep me?' His blood boiled at the thought of this. 'who abandons their child only to be given to people who probably didn't want them either?' Taehyun thought. 

'They must have only kept me because I'm family.' Taehyun thought.

A tear fell from his eyes and rolled down his cheek. He was all alone. His biological parents didn't want him and they probably still don't. The only people who were like his parents are gone.

"Am I gonna be ok?" Taehyun whispered. That's when he couldn't hold back anymore. The tears came running down his cheeks like pouring rain. Poor Taehyun even had to cover his face with his hands to prevent someone hearing him cry.

One of the many question that kept crossing Taehyun's mind was 'will my biological parents accept me and love me even though they left me?'
