He answered the call.
"Hello. What is it?" He asked.
"She's gonna come."
"When? Why?"
"She's coming for a business trip after a month. But she's planning to stay there."
"Ok. I'll do something for it. Thanks for the info though."
"It's ok. You've done me a big help. Won't I do this? Anyways, take care. Bye." And the call ended.
'Why will she want to stay here? By that time, I should do something.' He lay down and thought what to do an dhe slowly fell asleep.
*after few hours
Y/n called Taehyung, but he didn't respond. She slowly peeped through his door as it was open and saw him sleep peacefully.
She smiled and put a blanket over him and left.
*the next day
Taehyung saw himself sleeping cozy with the blanket on. He rewinded what happened last night. He thought he just put on the blanket as he felt cold.
He suddenly felt hungry. He refreshed himself and went out to eat something. He saw a plate of food and a note.
"Thanks for getting me into a company. Have your food and see you at work!"
He smiled reading the note and ate it and got ready.
He reached there within few minutes.
As he entered, he saw a group of people gathered at a place. He was confused as to who it would be.
"Ok, I have to go. Bye!" Y/n came out of the group. As she came, the crowd dispersed.
"What was that?" Taehyung asked.
"Just making friends." She said and Taehyung walked. She followed him.
"So, you'll be here, in this room, with me. We both have to work together. And, I'll share you some tips."
"Ok." She said and sat down.
"Thanks for the breakfast.' He said.
"it's ok." She said and looked around. Taehyung sat in his desk and went through his photos, editing them. He kept looking at Y/n once in a while. But he couldn't stop looking at her.
Y/n's phone started ringing. It was her brother.
"Hello noona." He said.
"Hey, how is mom? Is she still refusing?" She asked sad.
"Yeah. But don't take it. I'm there for you."
"It's ok. I understand, she doesn't want to lose me like appa. Anyways, I got into a company."
"Jinjja noona!! I'm so happy for you. Where?" He was more happier than Y/n.
"At XYZ Company." She said.
"Wow! That's one of the biggest companies in Seoul. Wow, you're really amazing noona."
"I'm not. When is your date for college fee?" She asked.
"Tomorrow noona. You don't need to worry about that. I can pay that."
"Ani. It's ok, I can pay. But why did you wanna do this?"
"Do what noona?"
Taehyung couldn't help, but eavesdrop her talking with her brother. Y/n walked out as she didn't wanna disturb Taehyung and continued.
"Studying for doctor for me. I know your passion is to sing. Why did you take my place?" She asked.
"Noona, I wanted you to do what you like. I want to see you happy."
"So, I don't have thoughts like that? I also want you to do what you like."
"Noona, it's ok. Atleast, mom likes it, I'm happy." He said.
"I'll tell mom. I support you in your dream. If any help, I'm here for you. And I'll your fees." She said and the call ended.
Taehyung heard her from the door. He wanted to help her.
He saw her coming and he went and sat back soon. Y/n opened the door and sat back thinking about how to tell her mother about Mark.
"Who was that?" Taehyung asked.
"Huh.. My brother." she said.
"Any problem? You look kinda tensed and nervous."
"Do i really?" She asked. He nodded his head.
"Want some coffee?" He asked.
"I guess."
"I'll go get some."
"No. It's ok. I'll.." before she could finish, Taehyung cut her and said,
"It's ok. You're new here, I'll go get." He smiled and went.
Y/n stood up and walked towards the window. She called her mother.
"Hello, eomma."
"hello Y/n. I heard Mark said that you got into a job."
"Ne eomma. But I called for something."
"What is it?" Her mother asked.
"Eomma, it's about Mark. He actually..."
"What about Mark? He's good."
"I know that eomma, but... Everyone has a passion, a dream. Like that even I had and here I am. But Mark, he has a big dream, but he's here studying for doctor, for you. Eomma let him do his passion."
"For what? To get him famous and get him killed by paparazzi and media?"
"Eomma, why do you always think about us getting killed? For once think it in our point of view. Eomma, why should we force Mark to study for doctor while he is not interested in it? If he studies for what he is interested in, he will get involved in it more."
There was a long pause.
"Eomma, I understand you don't wanna lose us too. I understand your worries that something might happen to us. But eomma, he has a bigger dream than me."
"Ok, let him do his passion. as you said, yeah his passion is bigger than yours." she was happy hearing that, but later it shattered.
"So, will you take his place? Will you study for doctor while your brother does music? Atleast one of you won't die."
"Eomma, you're doing it again. You're doing it again and again." She said and cut the call.
Tears flowed from her eyes. Her mother has been like this since both her husband have died.
She turned and saw Taehyung. Taehyung had come when she said about Mark's passion.
"I'm sorry." She said in a low voice and went out. She went to the terrace. She stood there, trying not to rewind her father's death.
Taehyung followed her.
He saw her crying and thinking about something. He walked towards her.
"You ok?" He asked.
She wiped her tears and said,
"I guess."
"You can tell me." He said.
She paused for sometime.
"Why does everything have to be about his death? Why does she always have to talk about it?"
"She in the sense."
"My mom."
"Every mother cares about their child."
"I know that. But whenever I talk, she brings in the topic of my father. I just don't understand why. Where is my life even going? I can't do this anymore." she said and broke down.
Taehyung hugged her and comforted her. She cried more.
"I just wish I never had a dream, never had a passion."
"Don't say that. Everyone has a dream. No one can be without it. You should thank your father for showing you the right path, your brother for supporting you. Even if your mother disagreed, a small part of her heart still accepts the work you do. She too, will soon accept it."
She broke the hug and wiped her tears.
"Let's go drink our coffee." She said and walked.
Taehyung was in confusion. He couldn't understand what just happened.
'She was sad and now she's all normal. Wahh.. it's really difficult to understand her emotions. Anyways, she's back to normal.' He smiled and went down.
