5 months later

"Meg, you okay?" I heard someone say.

I knew hell was just around the corner.

But I hadn't done anything.

Not even now.

I should've told Mina as soon as she arrived.

But I didn't.

I still have time, right?

"Meg!" Who is that?

I should probably get out of the covers.

Oh, it's V.

"H-huh?" I said, confusedly.

"We're going out to eat. You coming?" He asked, checking my forehead.

"Do you have a fever?" He said, helping me out of bed.

"No," I said, my voice full of thick.

"Stop lying, you silly girl, let's get you medicine on the way home, okay?" He said reassuringly, while patting my head.

Man, I'm gonna miss Taehyung.

I nodded and stood up defensively, in case I fell.

Taehyung held my hand and took me to my wardrobe, and picked out a cute little black skirt and a tartan shirt for tonight's dinner.

"Get changed and come out when you're ready," He said, smiling, then he left.

My heart drained a bit when he left.

I wish he really did care for me.

But I know it's all an act until next month.

It had to be.

"Vegetarian noodles for the girl," Jin said, scowling.

"How can you live without chicken?" J-Hope asked, like every dinner we have.

I just shrugged and pulled a picture of Marley I always keep in my pocket.

The skirt didn't have any, so I had to tuck it into the elastic.

"Is that your orphanage lady?" Jungkook asked, peering at it beside me.

That boy is so weird. He nearly followed me into my room after a pyjama party one night, and when I  kicked him out, he did aegyo to ask if he could borrow my stuffed teddy.

"Yeah," I answered, holding back my tears.

"Ooh, haven't had anything like this for so long!" Jimin said, picking up his chopsticks.

I was on the verge of breaking down when our food came, and thank God it did, or I might've been abandoned only an hour later.

"Great dinner," Suga said, patting his stomach.

"Mhm," Jin said, waving at cars to see if it's our one.

Manager ahjussi was picking us up.

"Oh God, I think my old classmate is across the road!" He said, attempting to wave at some guy over the road.

"I should go say hi," He said, starting to walk.

As soon as he took a step forward, I held onto his arm.

"It's not green light yet, be patient,"

"But he's going to go soon, just wait here," Jin said, becoming even more impatient.

He's an idiot.

I wouldn't mind if he got ran over, actually.

"Hyung, I don't think you should-"

"Be back in a bit," He said started to cross the road.

He pulled out his phone, probably to text the guy he was going to, I don't know, surprise him.

Oh no, he shouldn't be using his phone on a speedy road.

"Jin! There's a car, walk faster!" I yelled, but he didn't listen.

"Jin!" Namjoon yelled.

They all started yelling but he didn't listen.

He'll get run over.

He'll get run over.

Should I do something?

If he gets run over, I won't be abandoned.

They all like me, except him.

"Jin!-"

But I realised.

He's the reason I'm here.

He's the first one I talked to.

The first one who wanted to adopt me.

Maybe I should-

Maybe I will.

He's my father, after all.

"Jin-"

The car's there, it's two metres away.

It's so close.

He'll die.

I don't want him to die.

"Appa!"
