"If you call here again, then I swear I will come there and beat you up," with that she put the phone down.

Tae stood in the kitchen trying not to burn the food. He couldn't help laughing.

"Who was that?" he asked stirring the vegetables again carefully.

He knew he couldn't afford to burn the food. As it is Aunty P sucked in cooking. If he too began to burn food then what would they eat?

In those 7 months, Tae learned many things, cooking, let things go, writing, designing and most importantly living without his family and Jungkook.

"My student," Aunty P mumbled and went back to reading the newspaper.

"I don't understand," Tae finished cooking and started to arrange the plates, "Your dynamics with your students."

Aunty P smiled putting the paper down, "I hate them all."

She watched Tae being so active after a long time. Finally, he had landed an internship at the Lee's. Something he needed desperately for extra credits. After moving in with Aunty P, Tae decided to only focus on studies and higher education. But in less than a week, he realized what a grave mistake he committed by leaving Jungkook. He missed his bully terribly. He missed his brother dreadfully. He wanted to go back but didn't. Something stopped him. He even missed his entrance exams, stopped studying, reading, slept whole day, cried when Aunty P wasn't home.

The jeans that Jungkook had left with Tae would always be by Tae's side. He would hug it at night and cry for hours.

Finally, after two months Aunty P insisted him on doing something. She took him out on walks, in museums, movies, adventure parks. Slowly, Tae regained confidence. His first thought was going back to Jungkook. But he knew Jungkook must hate him to the core. Hope would hate him. Only his mother knew Tae was with Aunty P. Hope still had no idea where Tae was. He didn't want to tell Hope, because he knew Hope would immediately inform Jungkook.

"I am so proud of you," Aunty P hugged Tae tight, "Today is the first day of your internship. I am sure this will change your life."

After two months, he was again appearing for the entrance test. And this internship would add extra points to his academic profile. Tae had landed this internship with the help of Aunty P. Despite being a model student, he was having difficulties getting internship due to the gap in his academic year.

Aunty P had only seen a miserable Tae who would wake up in the middle of the night sweating screaming 'Kookie.' She was so happy to see him active again.

Tae frowned and agreed with her. Putting the food on her plate he thanked her again for the internship. Finally, after 7 months he felt like he was doing something.

"Text or call your mother today," Aunty P suggested eating hurriedly as she was getting late for her class.

She was hardly 15 years older than Tae and was more of Tae's BFF than aunt.
