~jimin's point of view~
seokjin hyung finally arrives at songpa naru park, back to where i originally was, and he effortlessly pulls into one of the parking spaces that's available.
we all get off the van and jungkook and i tail behind hyung while our eyes dart around hoping to spot namjoon-nim.
we walk for abit passing by alot of the activities that's taking place as well as the parks main attractions before finally reaching an ice-cream parlour.
"there he is!" jungkook hollers, pointing toward a tall man dressed in a pair of demin shorts and a white shirt which has red lightening patterns on it.
"good eye, jungkook." hyung says with a smile.
"i see him everyday so i know what he looks like." jungkook says boastfully.
"aish, don't be rude." i pull on jungkook's hand. "and we'll wait until hyung explains to namjoon-nim the situation, alright?" i calmly speak, looking at him and he nods.
we arrive at the ice-cream parlour and both men shake hands, pulling each other into a shoulder bump as a greeting then they exchange a few words before namjoon-nim notices us standing just a few metres away from them.
"jimin and jungkook?" he asks, stepping toward us. "it's nice to see students not evading teacher's when they see them in public for once." his dimples become visible when he smiles.
"aish, joonie. these boy's need help with something." soekjin explains and namjoon-nim looks over at us.
hyung was right when he said namjoon-nim won't mind helping because the look on his face is not one of annoyance rather it's a look that reads ready to help. he's always been that way, especially with his students.
"what can i do for you?" he asks and jungkook takes the paper from my hands as he steps forward.
"sorry to trouble you, nim, during your time off..." jungkook speaks politely. "but can you tell us what's written here?" he hands the paper over to namjoon-nim.
we stare in anticipation as we watch namjoon-nim scan the words written over the page. he starts to mentally read it with a calm expression but as he reads further on you can notice the little changes in his expression but it's hard to read.
"what does it say nim?" i ask, worried by his expression.
he looks at us with parted lips, "where did you get this?"
"soo yeong ah's~ outhouse. why?" i answer.
"outhouse?" namjoon-nim repeats. "what's this doing in an outhouse?"
"nim," jungkook softly says, "soo yeong lives in an outhouse and ms. hyungsik's junk is all piled up in there."
soo yeong's living conditions is not known to many people that's why she hates it when soo yeong gets any visitor's and in my opinion i think she didn't want anyone to find out because they would leak that information to the media and bad things would happen to the dragon lady. mostly because soo yeong's dad was rather well-known in our area.
we could have helped soo yeong this way but unfortunately it didn't happen because the first time we had found out about soo yeong's mistreatment was when we first saw her in that outhouse. we where surprised to see how her conditions changed after her dad passed on and that same day the dragon lady found jungkook and i in there.
she had threatened us with all kinds of words and curses telling us to not utter a single word about this to anyone because she'd make very terrible things happen to soo yeong. after that we became afraid for soo yeong's wellness so we said nothing to anyone because we knew the dragon lady had the means to do those things she had said.
"wait," namjoon-nim stares in shock. "soo yeong lives in an outhouse? why is that? because this right here says otherwise." he points to the paper in hands.
soekjin puts a hand on namjoon-nim's shoulder, "ms. hyungsik basically married mr. min for his money and house, and since soo yeong's not blood related she mistreats her." seokjin explains.
"if you all had known about this then why haven't you people reported it?" namjoon-nim's voice holds disbelief.
"the dragon lady's threats were brutal and vulgar, what other choice did we have nim?" jungkook whines.
"do you know where ms. hyungsik is right now?" namjoon-nim asks.
"probably still in the toilet..." seokjin mumbles and namjoon looks at him questioningly.
"he put laxatives in her food today." i quickly say.
"and soo yeong?"
"she might be with taehyung..." seokjin says looking over at jungkook for confirmation.
"neh, hyung's right but what does the paper say nim?" jungkook mumbles.
"this piece of paper is mr. min's will." namjoon says shocking the three of us.
"are you serious?" i yell in utter surprise.
namjoon nods, "both soo yeong's and ms. hyungsik's lives are going to change because everything that ms. hyungsik had claimed is hers is actually not. it all belongs to soo yeong." namjoon-nim explains as he pulls out his smartphone, dialling up a number. "we need to inform the police about this." he puts the phone to his ear, waiting for someone to pick up on the other end, "and somebody call up soo yeong. tell her to go to her house."
"try calling taehyung," soekjin suggests as i search for taehyung's number.
"i'll call the café station hyungs too." jungkook pipes up, then turns around.
i nod putting the phone on speaker as seokjin hyung and i hear it ring. after a few rings he finally answers and without even a greeting i speak, "taehyung ah~ you didn't send me a text and is soo yeong ah~ with you? did everything work out?" i ramble on.
"hm, she's here with me and everything's fine now." i hear taehyung's calm voice.
"thank the heavens," i breathe in relief. "but with that aside you two need to go to the mainhouse right now. it's really important." i insist.
"but wh-"
"just go, hyung. you'll find out everything soon. promise." i explain.

~soo yeong's point of view~
"oh my life taehyung ah~, what if the dragon lady actually died?" i mumble as the said boy and i sit in a bus making our way to the bus stop that's near the mainhouse. "and what if soekjin oppa is going to prison?" a sob escapes my lips.
"what?" taehyung's looks at me surprised. "why would the dragon lady be dead and hyung be going to prison? what are you talking about?"
"because..." i feel the nervousness fill my tummy. "oppa put laxatives in her food today. what if she died from extreme diarrhea or something?"
"aish, soo yeong ah~... i really don't get your mind sometimes." taehyung chuckles softly. "i'm sure nothing of the sort happened so stop worrying."
"i can't," i whine. "it's eating me on the inside."
taehyung sighs, pulling me into a side hug as he did before and he caresses my arm gently trying to comfort me.
after about ten minutes and three mental breakdowns from me, later, we finally arrive at the bus stop. i immediately shoot up and head for the exit, leaving taehyung behind to carry the gift bag.
once outside, i try running in this dress but alas i'm not moving as fast as i'd like to be and taehyung easily catches up to me.
"yah~ stop running or you'll fall." he warns as he gently grips my hand, slowing me down.
"taehyung..." i whine and to compensate for my whinny state he let's me jog but not without his secure grip on me.
we finally turn a corner and my eyes falls on three vehicles, two of which are suv's and one is a police vehicle with it's red and blue lights flashing brightly, and they're parked just outside the property.
i look at taehyung with a worried expression, "he really killed her?" i say through pants.
"yah~ don't say that, there would have been an ambulance then." taehyung's states something rather logical whilst also panting.
we finally reach the property and we quickly usher inside but what i see next completely blows my mind. i see jimin and jungkook standing beside yoongi and hoseok while chatting with each other then my eyes trails furthur passed them and i see namjoon-nim and seokjin talking to the authorities who has some papers in their hands.
i feel taehyung tug me along passed the four young men, who registers our presence, and towards seokjin oppa. i feel my breaths get heavy, the tears slowly form in my eyes and my mind is a complete frenzy. i really don't know what's going on.
"seokjin oppa!" i holler, releasing my grip from taehyung and taking the said man in a tight embrace. "are you okay? what's going? please don't tell me you're going to prison." i sob as i grip onto his sweatshirt. "you can't leave me!"
"soo yeong..." namjoon and soekjin say in unison and the other four men surround us as well.
"i'm not going anywhere." seokjin reassures and i look up at him.
"is this the young girl you mentioned earlier?" one of the police officers ask suddenly. i wipe the tears from my eyes and look up at the officer questioningly.
"neh, this is min soo yeong. the rightful owner of this estate." namjoon tells the officer and my lips part in shock.
"what?" i mutter, looking over at an equally shocked taehyung.
"soo yeong's the rightful heir of this place?" taehyung articulates the words that's floating in my mind.
"neh," the police officer speaks, showing me a piece of paper that looks similar to that fancy envelope taehyung and i had found in the outhouse. i cover my mouth in shock when i make out the words, testament and will, etched across it.
"taehyung ah~, this paper..." i mumble looking at him, whom is scanning the paper as well.
"that fancy envelope..." he completes. "your dad's will was in that fancy envelope!" he yells joyfully.
"how do you know about that envelope?" jungkook asks puzzled.
"soo yeong ah~ and i was going through the stuff in the outhouse and we came across it but we never got the chance to open it up." he explains.
"well, at least it all came to light somehow." yoongi annouces rather happily and i feel my body fill with an emotion i'm not really fimiliar with.
"this young man is right," the officer speaks as he hands me the will. "and this is the will your father left for you little lady. this entire estate all belongs to you. nothing ever was your step mother's."
"really?" i ask as the tears start to form once more and he nods. i let out a soft cry in relief and instantly crouch to the ground, letting my emotions take over. i hold the piece of paper close to my heart and sob, "i can't believe this..."
"it's not a dream but all a reality now." yoongi pats my head and i feel hoseok pull me into a hug while still on the ground.
"soo yeong ah~..." taehyung crouches infront of me and i look over at his happy face. "everything is going to get better for you now... just as we had wished." i smile warmly at him, remembering the dandelions. he puts out a hand for me to take which i take and he pulls me up, making me stand beside him.
"yah~!" jungkook suddenly yells, startling everyone. "it's the dragon lady! she's finally done in the toilet!"
everyone turns to look at the entrance of the mainhouse to find the said women pop out and she's wearing a knee length dress with heels but she freezes when she sees the sight before her.
her eyes scans each one of us but her eyebrows furrow in confusion when her gaze lands on the police officers, "what's going on here?" her voice is apathetic. "get off my property, all of you." she demands, not even afraid of the authorities.
"this isn't your property!" jimin yells, sternly. "this place belongs to soo yeong ah~!"
"no! don't speak nonesense stupid boy!" she counters as she descends from the staircase, finally stepping infront of us. "this place is all mine! seokjin, you planted a seed in soo yeong's head and shared false stories with your friends. how pathetic."
"it's not false, we have proof." soekjin oppa hollers and yoongi oppa takes the paper from my hands, holding it in front of her face.
"then what's this?" yoongi oppa spits and i can sense a small smirk on his face. "still think it's pathetic?"
we all watch as she scans the paper then suddenly grabbing it to get a closer look- i'm quite surprised that she can read english because her face distorts into one of frustration, "don't misunderstand the situation yoongi- is that your name? nevermind i don't really care." she rambles and walks over to me while waving the will in her hand.
"officer, this dear child of mine, soo yeong..." she cooes, pushing taehyung away from me and taking his place. everyone just stares at her sudden change in behaviour with confusion including myself but my body suddenly clenches when she secures an arm around my body. "she felt that the sudden inheritance and fortune of her father would be rather burdensome for just a mere child- look at her she's not even out of highschool yet-" she chuckles rather sweetly. "and the loss of her dear father and my loving husband was unpleasantly overwhelming for her so she had honoured me with the task to manage the estate." she ends her story with a unnoticeable squeeze to my side.
the officer, after listening attentively, steps forward to speak, "mrs. hyungsik, your version of the story sounds rather appealing but it's much too exaggerated. furthermore, the emotions the child displayed moments ago is completely incoherent with your story. she didn't even know there was will." he crosses his arms.
"incoherent? what?" the dragon blubbers. "i speak the the truth and noth-"
"hey, stob it!" seokjin oppa interjects and everyone turns to face him. "i've already explained everything to the officers. there's no point in lying! just take her away!" seokjin oppa grabs the will from her grasp as well me.
"neh! hyung is right, cuff her up." hoseok oppa instructs.
"alright, that's enough. we have enough witnesses to make a case as well as evidence." the officer takes ahold of the dragon lady and cuffs her but she tries to fight his hold unfortunately enough it's futile since the other officer steps in. "you're under arrest for fraudulence and theft of estate assets. also, if there was any mistreatment against the child, you'll be charged for child abuse as well." the officer informs.
"ddaeng." yoongi says as the officers takes her toward the police vehicle whilst reciting her miranda rights.
"soo yeong! how could you do this!? who do you think nurtured you all this while?- let go of me and where's my daughter!" she yells whilst resisting arrest.
"seokjin oppa took care of me and not you!" i hold onto seokjin oppa, tightly.
"you wretched child!" she yells back but the police officer shoves her head into the vehicle and shuts the door soon to depart to the station.
"aish, finally the day has come soo yeong." yoongi oppa announces with a heavy sigh and a round of neh's are heard immediately after.
"thank the heavens for namjoon-nim." jungkook says as the bright lights from the police vehicle slowly disappear into the night. "without him we wouldn't have found out it's soo yeong's dad's will."
"namjoon-nim translated the will for you guys?" i ask, looking over at jimin and jungkook and they nod.
"thank you, nim." i bow whilst biting my lip but as soon as i ascend i take him into a hug which catches him and everyone by surprise. "i'm sorry if this is awkward but i can't help it. thank you." i repeat.
"not to worry soo yeong. i'll always be here to help." he declares with a bright smile that reveals his dimples.
i release my hold from him and move towards jimin and jungkook, "thank you both for always being there for me in my of darkest times and for always making me smile. every girl definitely deserves best friends like you two." i chuckle and hug the both of them tightly.
"no worries!" jimin cooes. "and i have your smartphone too..."
"wouldn't taehyung hyung be getting jealous now?" jungkook whispers with a little chuckle, making jimin and i laugh in return.
i release myself from both the boy's and jimin hands me my phone. afterwards i give a brief look at taehyung but he seems all too happy and there's not even a glint of jealousy in his eyes. at least i know he's not the jealous type now.
i move over to yoongi and hosoek oppa's also taking them into a tight hug, "thank you." i drawl. "you two always took care of me at the café station and spoilt me with free stuff, which i promise i will pay back now!"
"aish, soo yeong." yoongi oppa sighs. "don't worry about it."
"you'll always be treated the same at the station even after all that has happened now. we're always here for you." hoseok's words makes me smile and i nod.
i turn to look over at seokjin oppa, whose smiling so brightly that he might just be able to rival hoseok oppa's smile. i move toward him and he takes me into a tight embrace while gently stroking my head.
"thank you," i mumble into his sweatshirt. "you're like my mom and dad combined, my anpanman." i giggle and seokjin laughs softly. "and there'll always be a place for you in this house."
"hyung got fired soo yeong ah~," jungkook pipes up casually and i look at him in shock.
"really?" i ask and seokjin nods. "well... like i just said there's always a place for you here. you can't get fired, it's the law in this household now and as for the will i trust you to keep it safe." i look up at him with a smile. "and one more thing... no more laxatives." i warn, with a pointed finger.
everyone laughs at the latter of my words and seokjin sighs, "sure and what was that about me going to prison just now?"
"she thought you killed the dragon lady." taehyung's deep voice cuts through the air and i stare at him blankly, he better not tell them about my three mental breakdowns in the span of ten minutes.
"was it because of the laxatives?" jimin chuckles.
"neh and she literally cr-" taehyung starts but i immediately lunge toward him, covering his mouth with my hand while giving him a stern look and i also slip my shattered phone into his blazer pocket.
his eyes suddenly darts to mine and i notice them become mysterious. i look at him worriedly thinking that i did something wrong but instead i feel something wet slide across my palm and my eyes widen.
he did exactly the same thing i did to him a few nights ago. he's trying to make me wither but i won't, "i'm not moving it just yet, remember what you did to me." i smirk, standing on my tippy toes and i lean closer but once again taehyung beats me to the gun, he moves foward causing my hand to touch my lips aswell.
my eyes widen and he simply stares at me, his eyes reflecting playfulness. what is wrong with this boy? and why can't i ever win against him in this so called teasing game?
"yah~!" yoongi suddenly yells breaking taehyung and i out of our own little world. i completely forgot that they're all here. "we don't want a repeat of that night soo yeong! if only i had my sugar sachets with me." he has that gummy smile on his face.
"aish it's cute," hoseok pipes in, nudging yoongi with his elbow.
i blush, turning to face them, "i'm sorry." i say and taehyung shyly rubs his nape.
"aish... so are you two really together... bam?" jungkook asks and taehyung and i both nod.
jimin and jungkook celebrate by giving each other a high five, "wins all round for soo yeong ah~." jungkook hollers.
"you two where always a hot topic in the teachers lounge..." namjoon-nim suddenly speaks and i look at him, surprised. "they often paired pupils together that they thought would be good together, just for fun so it's good to know one of the pairs worked out." he smiles and i see his dimples.
"whoa, the teachers are stalking students." jungkook chuckles while looking at jimin.
"thank you." taehyung and i say together inspite of what jungkook just said.
"and soo yeong ah~!" hoseok speaks up. "is it alright for me to pitch your life story to an entertainment company now? this is k-drama worthy and you know it." he puts his hands on his hips after he speaks.
"aish, oppa..." i whine but eventually given in after the other's agree to his words. "fine... but they need to pay you a good some for the idea."
"soo yeong's right, hoseok ah~..." yoongi pipes in.
"aish, i'm just glad you accepted my request..." he states. "and i'll also buy you a new smartphone with the money i get." i look at him appalled. "i saw it just now, soo yeong. it's shattered. also, jimin had it with him which means you lied to us earlier."
"aish, no oppa... i think it's still working." i whine and see taehyung take a peek at it and his face holds wonder. "and i'm sorry i lied." i mumble.
"it still is." jimin and jungkook give each other a look.
"see..." i holler then i look at them seriously. "and i'm sorry if i ruined your spring festival this year. i didn't expect any of this to happen."
a choir of aish, don't worry and it's fine can be heard coming from everyone there. i have a small smile on my face as i watch them one at time slowly take a seat on the pathway, perhaps resting because of what just happened- it's not everyday that you experience a whirlwind of what you could call miracles.
taehyung extends his arms out for me to take so i gladly accept taking a seat next to him and on my other side is seokjin oppa.
i feel taehyung's arms wrap around my waist and he leans his head on my shoulder as everyone else slowly gets on with their own conversation's but before soekjin oppa could turn away i ask him a question.
"what's going to happen to ah ro?" i ask then feel taehyung's gaze bore into me.
seokjin sighs while looking over at me as well, "after all she's done to you, you're still concerned about her? why is that?"
"well... i don't want what happened to the dragon lady to happen to her, she's still young. she can rectify her mistakes." i explain, while playing with taehyung's fingers.
"maybe you're right or even wrong but one thing's for sure is that only time will tell us if she changes." seokjin lectures while looking up at the stars. "and her mother obviously won't let anything happen to her nor will she let her stay here anymore, so she'll most likely go into foster care."
i gasp, "really?"
"that's the only option and don't worry too much." he gently pats my shoulder. "now spend some time with taetae, he didn't give you all of those notes for me to hog you on this night and you taehyung, take care of her." he points a finger at the said boy- who nods- before turning around to join the other conversation.
"you heard the hyung," taehyung's hot breath hits against my skin and shortly after i feel his lips graze along my jawline.
i bite my lip while taking out tata from the gift bag and cuddling it, "stob it, they're all here tae. they'll see us." i blush, mumbling into the red plushie.
"we're facing the opposite way from them soo yeong ah~," he whines but i pout at him, "you know if you keep pouting i'll take it as an invitation to kiss you."
"yah~, you're such a creep." i hit his thighs with tata but i suddenly recall the time when i had told jungkook something similar- about him pouting. i chuckle silently, maybe yoongi was right about us sharing a single braincell.
"is your phone shattered because of me soo yeong ah~?" taehyung suddenly slashes my thoughts and i look over to see him staring at my smartphone.
"kind of, but don't worry about it too much." i smile while looking at his adorable features.
"but-"
"shhh.." i press my finger to his lips and he looks at me surprised. "don't worry." i ensure.
"yah~ taetae and soo yeong ah~?" jimin's voice suddenly grabs our attention and we turn to find him holding out his smartphone for a selfie, "group photo! give me a smile!" he drawls.
i notice everyone quickly get into a position while looking at the phone and i see taehyung throw a peace sign over his right eye while smiling brightly so i quickly lean my head next to his, pressing my lips against his cheek just as the camera sound goes off.
"whoa, this came out perfect!" jimin yells after scanning the photo and everyone asks for it to be forwarded to them but taehyung on the other hand quickly turns to face me with a pout.
"that wasn't fair..." he whines and i giggle at him. "you caught me off-guard..."
"that'll teach you to tease me, mr. kim. taehyung." i tap his nose playfully but he suddenly pulls me closer to him and i gasp.
he smirks, leaning in, most probably for a kiss so i quickly crash the tata plushie over his face mostly because i was fine with kissing him when we was alone but now we have an audience with us but unfortunately enough, that smart brain of his decides to maneuver the tata plushie beside our heads so it's blocking out the oppa's.
"you can't complain now." he smirks once more, taking me into a gentle and sweet kiss that causes my tummy to fill with billions of butterflies.
dear heavens, this boy really loves showing affection which i'll definitely have to get alot used to from now on.
when we finally break away from each other he leans his forehead against mine and i smile softly allowing my right hand to get lost in his scarlet hair. "i purple you my 4d pabo..." he chuckles softly at my words.
"i purple you too and..." he places a hand over my cheek, gently caressing it with his thumb, "i love you more than yesterday but less than tomorrow."
