EPISODE 2: Hope
11:10 ~ Y/n's House [Y/n's POV]
After cleaning and got the mysterious ring that I found in my parents house. I've decided to cook food for Nana and Ken as a sign of thank you.
"What should I cook then? Ugh, I might burn the whole kitchen again." You scratch your head thinking on what to cook. Searching online each recipe that Nana would like.
Cooking isn't really my forte, the last time I cooked for them caused me a burned food and a broken stove. Don't judge! I've been practicing!
"How about tteokbokki? That's specialized for kids as far as I know." I smiled remembering its taste. "I haven't eaten that too for months." I rush to the drawers looking for food.
"Oh shit! Ken told me she'll buy food, ill just go text them right now and asked to eat samgyupsal here together." I searched for my phone for a good 5 minutes cause my dumb ass forgot where in hell I put it in only to find them inside the drawers.
"There you are! Letter K... Ke... There! Ken."
The adorable Ken
• Ken! Do you any have plans later? Let's eat samgyupsal here together. Buy one and I'll cook tteokbokki for Nana.

"Alright, now that's settle. What am I going to buy again?" I took some paper and listed some ingredients that I need. I took my keys and drove into the nearest market place.
Once I arrived, I hurriedly grab the basket and took the little paper with the ingredients I have to buy.
11:26 ~ Market [Y/n's POV]
"Aisle 7 for rice cake and fishcakes." I went there and look closely for the price and brand.
"Wow, the price were a lot expensive than before. Looks like I have to find another work for us to survive." I sighed as I took each bag putting them on the basket.
"Next is dried kelp, hot pepper paste, green onion, aaaaaand-" I suddenly bumped into someone.
"EGGS! OH MY LORD- I am so sorry!" I shouted the last ingredient on the list right after bumping into that person.
The groceries the person bought had been all over the floor. I panicky picked everything I can pick up and gave it to the person.
"Thank you, sorry for bumping into you." The person crouched and took what was left.
"No, really. That should be me saying sorry to you. I am not looking where-" I insisted the persons apology and has been cut off because the person patted my head. Still shocked I have never seen his face.
He is absolutely stunning.
"It's fine." He smiled while his hand still on my head.
He has a round face, thick low set brows. His eyes are small that are naturally facing downwards that goes so well with his adorable little lips. He's skin is pale like a snow, smooth like a soft fabric that cost almost your life. His tall and slightly slim figure together with his outstanding fashion are simply mesmerizing.
He is unbelievable attractive.
"-hello?" He waves his hand in front of me looking at my spaced out eyes. My dumbass completely forgetting that he already removed his hand on my head and started asking me questions.
"O-oh right! W-what are we talking about again?" I stutter, still a little embarrassed.
"Eggs, what's about that?" He simply smiled and titled his head a little bit. Wondering if he can help
I fix my posture and dust my clothes. "Oh that, [laughs] I'm finding where aisle they were in. This is my first time grocery shopping here." I reply giving my warmest smile.
"Really? I shop here all the time. Go asked the staff, I-I forgot what aisle you can found eggs. Hehe." He jokingly said.
"O-oh..." I was puzzled.
He just said he shop here all the time. How come he still doesn't memorized the way? Well, he's not working here why do I bother asking. Stupid y/n! Stupid!
"I'm just kidding!" He laughs as he looked at my puzzled face once again. He then pointed the way where to get those stupid eggs.
"Oh right there?" I pointed out as well, clarifying the direction he gave.
"Uhmm" he hummed as response.
"Well then, I'll go pay for this right now. Nice ring by the way." He smiled and look directly in my eyes once again.
"Sure!-" He just walked away.
"T-thank you..." walked away without me saying thank you to him.
And that's how my stupid grocery shopping went. I made troubled and have the guts to asked where the eggs were. Damn it! What a shame.
Ring_Ring_Ring!
I picked my phone while I'm starting the car.
"Ken! What's up?"
"We're on our way" she said as I hear car whooshing in the background.
"Did you pick Nana up?" I asked as I drove off the parking lot.
Statics where heard as if the phone was getting stolen from her. Then little adorable voices were heard;
"NUNU! KEN PICKED NANA UP!" The cheery voice of him put a smile on my face.
He's like one of my daily dose. He's my escape from the reality. Cuddling with him are enough for me to take rest. My little brother was the only family I have. It hurts to know that he'll grow up without our parents by his side. But of course I'm not going to let him be sad, I'll do everything to make my little brother happy. I'll protect him at all cost, even in exchange with my life.
"Oh! Nana, noona will cook you tteokbokki!" I excitedly said as I hurriedly drive home. "But can you please give the phone back to Ken noona?" You can hear his breathing due to him being hyped up by you cooking him food.
"Oum!" He responded giving the phone back while giggling.
"Y/n! Are home already?" She asked, still hearing Nana singing at the end of the line.
"No, but I'm driving home. Have you bought meat and pork? Is there a near store at Nana's school?" I asked still focused on the road.
"We are just going to buy right now and yes, there is. Focus on the road Y/n!" She warned as I heard chattering on the other line.
"Will do ma'am [laughs]. I'm already home. Be safe there, keep an eye on Nana." I parked at our garage and started unbuckling my seat belt.
"Nana! Yah! Shoot! Ok ok, I have to hang up, Nana's pulling me everywhere. Mwuah!" With that she hung up the phone.
Laughing at the both of them, I imagined how Nana's pulling Ken's hand at the dessert station.
11:53 ~ Y/n's House [Y/n's POV]
Meow~
"Omoya!" I jumped in shock as I found a kitten on my trunk while pulling my grocery out.
It is a white colored kitten. The kitten is quite dirty and somehow in pain.
"Omg! Poor kitty, why are you here? Gosh, I didn't even saw you there while I'm putting my groceries in! Are you hot? Or somehow injured? Stupid y/n! Why am I so careless." I took the poor kitty out and hurriedly put it on my room completely ignoring my groceries.
I began to scan the kitten's body finding bruises only to find an injured leg. "Oh no!" I exclaimed, feeling guilty overthinking that he might got squished up by the grocery. "He is a boy- aish! Wait here kitty, I'll go get something to help you ok?"
I ran and grab some emergency medkit in our basement. Huffing for air, I've managed to go to my room. I put bandages on the kitty and began picking up the groceries I left down stairs.
Something changed in me. I am not that gloomy anymore. I shouldn't be expecting too much. Tomorrow will go bad again.
I started cooking and carefully followed every instructions in the site.
"What?! Even the dried kelp has to be 6 x 8 in size? What is this? Am I cooking or making an mathematical equation?" Still puzzled with the recipe, I tried following it still.
"Y/n~ we're home!" The door slide opens, plastic shuffling in. Nana runs inside roleplaying as an airplane, Jisoo unnie running with a smile on her face greeting me with big warm hug.
"Lisa! Rosè! Jennie! Omg you guys are here!" I covered my mouth with shocked.
"Surprise!" The three of them shouted, their presence filling up my living room.
Ken on the other hand organized the shoes and close the door behind her holding the pork and every meat they bought.
"Y/n-ah! I missed you!" Jisoo run at me, her hug become tight but comforting.
They'reso... warm.
Suddenly I found 'Happiness'. I don't feel alone anymore. Sparkles float by as I saw them being at my house, smiling and messing around. The noise that I've missed. The void has been filled up. The darknessdisappeared and the light become visible. The unpleasant feeling that has been roaming around me popped like a short living bubble. It feels like I'm home. Again.
I want to cry at that moment, but I don't want to spoil the fun. Instead I smile warmly, welcoming each one of them. Cooking and telling story how our day went.
"Are going to school tomorrow Y/n? I have no one to copy on during math!" Lisa pouted like a baby and leaned on my shoulder.
"Am I just an answer to you Lisa? How dare you!" I teasingly said as I laughed and nudge my shoulder slightly. "Of course I will! I missed you guys." I continued and devour the sweet delicious meat.
"How are you feeling?" Jennie suddenly asked looking worried about me.
"We'll of course it's still hard. I mean I have a lots of lost people I've loved this past few months and this stupid ass break up came. But over all I'm still managing to overcome everything." Still sad, I sighed as I open up my heart telling them what I've went through.
"We're still here for you Y/n!" Rosè sat by my side and hug me tightly. Letting me know their presence.
"Besides, I have to live because of of this little one." I looked at Nana enjoying his tteokbokki as well as savoring each flavor of the meat.
"Nunu! Ttoekbokki jjang!" Nana said as he put thumbs up his chopsticks all over his hands.
"What about Ken noona's meat? Does it taste good to?" Ken asked waiting for Nana's answer.
Nana looked at Ken and nodded his head.
"He likes it too! I told you Ken, I am the best at picking good quality meat." Jisoo unnie proudly said and did a little dance.
"Yah unnie! I am the one who picked that meat! The one you picked is this bacon." Ken said as she pouted.
"What do you mean 'yah'? I am your unnie! Respect me!" She glared at Ken.
"Hehe." Ken started running teasing Jisoo unnie more.
"Come here you little brat!" She run after Ken around the living room. Nana joined the run.
All of us are laughing.
Including me.

2:45 ~ Y/n's House [Y/n's POV]
"Aww, are my nunus' going home already?" Nana sulked on my arms. I picked him up and he buried his head on my neck feeling a little bit disappointed.
"I'm sorry Nana, we have a lot of things to do. We have homework just like you." Ken went behind my back caressing Nana's head. She then give him a little kiss on his tiny head.
"Nana hate homework." He said, still in my arms sighing deeply.
"We'll make it up to you, we promise." Jisoo unnie added. "I'll go buy you sweets next time! How about that?" She smiled and hold Nana's hand.
"Owtey, just promise me you'll visit again." He said sniffing feeling sad about them going home.
Nana hated people leaving him behind. He hated goodbyes. I pity him so much. Can you be live that?at a young age, he experiences a lot of losses .
"We promise!" Jennie and Lisa added
I hug him tightly and caressed his back. "Say bye-bye to them now Nana." I added comforting him.
"Bye-bye, have a great day." He said.
"And then?" I stated as I wait for him to finish his own version of saying goodbye.
"I love you, see you soon." He snuggle in me and hug me clinging his tiny arms in my neck.
The five of them was touched by him. They quickly gave him a nice little peck and wave their hands goodbye.
"Nunu, will they visit Nana again? They're coming back right?" He said yawning as he's tired for today. He snuggle deeper in my shoulder, lifting himself in my arms slight and closing his little precious eyes.
"Of course they will, they always comeback Nana. They did say promise right?" I hugged him and start swaying back in forth trying to make him fall asleep.
"Mommy said promise too and never came back, Nana's just making sure." He reply enough for me to stop from swaying for about a minute and continue afterwards. He started drawing something in my back with his finger.
"I'm sorry Nana." Those are the only words I can say to him.
My poor little brother.
"Can I sleep to your room nunu? Nana's sad." He said stopping his action doing at my back.
"Of course! Nunu will sleep by your side today." I smiled as I see him drifting to sleep.
With Nana still on my arms, I looked around in my living room and forgot that I still have to clean. I went to my room and put Nana on my bed. I search around the room and saw the kitten on the chair. I'm confused.
"Weird, his in my bed when I left him here. How is he able to jump over here? He's tiny." I titled my head, still having a hard time making sense of it. My room is wide and my bed was way too far from that chair.
"Maybe I accidentally left him there and forgot. Also I didn't give him a name yet. What should I call you?" I walked closer to the kitten. "How about white?" The kitten didn't seem to like it and just display his back at me. "Not liking that one huh? Snow? How about snow?" The kitten titled his head when I'm calling him snow. "Snow home here~" I whispered-yelled.
Snow started coming closer to me and snuggled in my hand. "Awww~" I was literally ready to fight someone for this little one.
He's so cute wtf!
"Shoot! I have to clean, it's 3 PM already. How is time running so fast. I have to ready my uniform for tomorrow as well. Ugh, I have a lot of things to do." I groaned as I remembered everything tasks I have at hand.
"I'm sorry snow, I have to clean downstairs. When I come back up I'll give you food alright?" With that I run downstairs and start cleaning up.
With some leftover rice and meat. I decided to eat it later. The living room is now sparkling clean. I tried finding cat food only to found none.
"Canned tuna is the only thing I have that he can eat. Suck it, I'll just buy cat food tomorrow after class." I grab it from the fridge as well as some soda, oh yes, water too we have to stay healthy.
While walking upstairs with the food I have, I started to drink the soda I grabbed. I felt thirsty with all that hard work and started to drink half of my soda. That's almost 2 hours of cleaning. I prepared the food for the cat and left the food at the table, putting the tuna beside the cat on the chair.
"Now I have to fix my clothes. But before that let me have a little taste with this food. I'm also kind of full so maybe I'll just put it in the fridge." I took some bite and walked to my closet and grab the things I needed. I then went downstairs and washed my face and brushed my teeth.
I came back upstairs with the clothes I have. When I'm about to grab the food I left at my table, I was shocked. There's no food left!
"Where did the food all go?!" I shivers scared that there's might be someone at my house. "Even my soda is sucked clean, and the bottled of water..." I took the water bottle. "It was opened! And half of it was drank. Wtf!" Suspiciously, I look over Nana. "Did Nana ate it? But his asleep!" Cold wind brushes in my skin.
"N-no there's no such thing as ghosts. Ha.. Ha.." I gulped hard and got the now empty plate as well as beverages.
I got the chance to look at snow's food. He didn't eat at all. Maybe he's too stressed out and can't find trust in me since I've only met him today. I took the plates downstairs and started washing them.
"It's already 5 pm, maybe I'll spend the rest of the day with the cat." I went up to my room and picked up snow. I put it on my chest while I read some books while he cuddles with me.
"My back hurts, I'll turn to the side." I picked up snow and turned my body into sideways with snow beside me laying in bed still tucked in with me.
Feeling tired, I turned the lights off and put the book above my little drawer. I slept in between snow and Nana.
The next day: 6:00 ~ Y/n's House [Y/n's POV]
"Nunu! Nunu! Nunuuuu!" The little boy nudge at my sleeping body. His warm little hands touching the soft fabric.
"Who is that beside you? Who is that person, Nunu?"
A-a WHAT?!
