THE PATH TOWARDS THE EXIT || BTS

ROOM #4: Jung Hoseok (4)

...

"I'll be leaving you with grandma for a short while, oki? I'll be right back!" He coo at her, waving his hands and running off to the market.

Not prolonging himself, he dialed a number that he hopes to help him about this sudden commotion he brought in his life.

"Ayo, Suga!" Hoseok greeted with a large smile on his heart shaped lips as soon as he heard the man in the other line grumble.

"What is it? I thought you're in a vacation?" Yoongi groggily asked.

Hoseok continued walking. The phone held between his fingers and ears as he contemplate if he should tell his friend. "Well, I've met someone here."

"And?"

"Is it possible that I feel sad by just looking at one person?"

He could hear Yoongi snort in the other end. "What is this about? This doesn't sound like you."

"Well... It's because although we didn't have the same circumstances in life, she makes me feel like I can relate to her."

"That's actually good?" Yoongi said, but sounded unsure about it as well. "I mean... It's the first time that you probably feel like you can open up freely to a stranger. Weren't you always so cautious around new people? You barely even talk to any of us when you're going through something serious. At least you met someone that you want to show the unhappy side of you. Remember, you can't always be everyone's source of hope, eventually, you'll need someone that will listen to your complaints too."

Micasa have been feeling peaceful these days. It's been exactly three days and Hoseok nor his grandmother weren't making her feel uncomfortable or that she's unwelcome. In fact she has been waiting for them to tell her to leave but she haven't heard them say anything about her being a nuisance.

"Where is he going?" He asked the old lady, her curiosity written on her face.

The old woman who's smile has resemblance with Hoseok gave her a small pat on her head as she answers her question. "Well, you can't possibly just wear Hoseokie's sweatshirt always, so he decided to buy you your own winter clothes."

Micasa's eyes widening in surprise. "He-He's buying me stuff?!" For a split second Mrs. Jung saw how her eyes glittered in excitement but soon was replaced in utter sadness and a frown.

"What's wrong, dear?" Hoseok's grandmother asked with worried voice.

"It's great... It feels great that someone thinks of my needs but, why is he doing this? You're not making me leave yet?" Micasa have too many things in mind but the old woman's question stopped all of her thoughts at once.

"Do you still have somewhere to go to?"

Of course... She don't. That's the exact reason why she was running away, she was lost in the forest, she almost got into a car accident, and why she fainted in front of Hoseok's car.

She was running away from the house she used to lived in after getting so fed up with the treatment and the kindness she was up until this date begging from her family.

Tears were streaming down her cheeks before she knows it. She have nowhere to go to.

She felt herself getting engulfed with another warm hug. Hoseok's grandmother tapping her back lightly, soothing her as she wails like a child in the old woman's warm embrace. 

"There, there, sweetie... You can stay here with me. This can be your home." Mrs. Jung assured as she rocks her and Micasa's body in a soothing manner.
