BTS HYYH Notes (Book 1, 2, BUS Game) // COMPLETE [Part 2]

2022, Jul 20 - Hoseok (Yangji Children's Home)

[Place: Yangji Children's Home Orphanage]

After my evening shift, I stopped by the Yangji Children's Home. I brought an armful of cookies and let the children in the living room share them, and then I headed to the director's office. The air in the office was completely different from the living room. The news was on TV about the Songju City redevelopment. I saw Kim Changjun's face briefly on TV. The director turned off the TV in a hurry and asked me if I would like something to drink.

"How is our imo doing?" I changed the topic on purpose.

"After she recovers from the surgery, we're going to do everything we can for her. Hoseok-ah, she said she'd do her best to get better, and we should all cheer up and hope for the best."

A loud noise came from the living room. The children were fighting over the cookies. One boy banged open the director's office door and barged in.

Han-gyeol, the oldest boy, pointed to the living room TV and said, "Area four is where our orphanage is. But why is it that they haven't even mentioned us? They don't have a place for our orphanage to the new map."

A couple more boys ran in and one of them said, "We're moving?"

Another boy said, "Are we moving to a bigger place?"

The director answered them. "You don't have to worry about anything. The imodeul and I will take care of everything. Kids, I have things to talk about with your brother Hoseok, so why don't you go outside and play soccer?"

After sending the kids out, she plopped on a chair opposite me.

"What's going to happen to us?" I asked with my eyes on her.

"Nothing has been decided yet. They might build a new orphanage in area one. It might take some time though."

"How long? Meanwhile, they'll have us scattered to different places."

"But Mr. Kim Changjun, the assemblyman, said---."

"I know. He promised us to build a new orphanage in area four so that we can stay together."

Downcast, the director said, "We have to see how things develop."
