Observing the scene unfold, Hana, stepped forward with a gentle smile.
"Sure, Lily, we'll go." she said, her voice soft yet reassuring.

"Really???", exclaimed the little one, her eyes searching for confirmation once more, her hope hanging on every word.

Hana nodded affirmatively, her expression conveying support.
"Yes, really!! Only if Grandma permits." she confirmed, casting a meaningful glance towards Grandma.

Grandma, her eyes in deep thinking, finally giving up. Her decision met with grateful smiles. "Okay!" she declared,

Lily squealed with happiness and, on spotting y/n and Taehyung at the door, she ran towards them, her small feet barely touching the ground.
"Eonni, will you come with us too??" she asked, her voice a mixture of hope and excitement.

Scrouching down to her level, y/n looked into her eager eyes.
"To the amusement park?" she repeated, showing her surprise to match her enthusiasm.

"Yes... please..." Lily said, joining her hands in a pleading gesture and revealing the full power of her puppy eyes.

"How can I say no, to such a sweet request!" Y/N replied, unable to resist her charm.

"So you are coming, right?" she asked again, needing that final confirmation.

"Of course, sweetie." Y/N assured her.

"Promise?", she held up her pinky finger, and y/n did the same, both of them giggling as they sealed their promise with a pinky swear.

Taehyung, observing the exchange, found the scene irresistibly cute. He internally chuckled at the sight of the pinky promise.

Lily, her excitement barely contained, turned her gaze to Taehyung and with a kind of command and request at the same time, asked,
"You have to come too! Will you??"

Taehyung smiled warmly.
"How can I deny such pretty pleading eyes?" he said, bending down to scoop her up into his arms.

"Yay! Finally!" she exclaimed, her joy spilling over as she hugged him tightly.

Lily, blooming with happiness, asked, "When are we going?"

Hana Eonni, always quick with a solution, responded, "How about tomorrow?"

Taehyung, eager to join in the fun, agreed. But Y/N interrupted, "Tomorrow we have class. Can we postpone it to next weekend?"

"That's too long." Lily said sadly, her shoulders drooping.

Taehyung, unable to bear her disappointment, pinched her cheeks gently. "Why so sad? We'll go tomorrow." he cheered her up.

"Y/N, one day missing classes, won't hurt." Taehyung added, his tone reassuring.

"Yes, Eonni... please." Lily chimed in, her eyes wide with pleading.

Finally, Y/N sighed and smiled. "Alright, we'll go tomorrow."

Lily's face lit up with joy, and as soon as her feet touched the ground, she ran upstairs to her room to get things ready for the big day.

While they all chuckled at her enthusiastic, tiny figure disappearing up the stairs.

Grandma watched the scene with glistening eyes, discreetly trying to wipe away her tears. But Y/N noticed and walked towards her, side-hugging her gently.
"Why are you crying, Grandma?"

"Oh, it's nothing," Grandma replied, her voice wavering.

"Won't you tell your Y/N?" she persuade softly.

Grandma sighed, giving in.
"It's just... I'm overwhelmed. Lily has so many wishes, and she's asked me so many times to take her to visit places, to go for rides. Like other children who visit these places with their parents. Most of the time, I had to deny her. She would get sad, but she's such a good and mature girl that after sometime she would put on a brave face and happily roam around, even though I knew she was sad from within."

Her voice grew heavy with emotion as she continued,
"I know I can't fulfill all her wishes, but seeing you all care for us... It feels so overwhelming."

Y/N wrapped her arms, tightening her embrace around Grandma, her heart aching for the elderly woman who had done so much for Lily despite her own limitations. "Grandma, we understand. You've done more than enough. We're all here to help now."

Hana added, "Yes, Grandma. You don't have to do everything alone anymore. We're a family, and we'll make sure Lily's wishes come true."

Grandma nodded, her eyes misting over again. "Thank you, dears. Your kindness means more than you can imagine."

Grandma, now engulfed in their loving hug, felt her heart warm with the love from these people who were once strangers but had now become family.

Seeing Taehyung standing nearby, Grandma told him over. "Why are you standing? Come here young man, join us." she said with a smile.

Taehyung not wasting any time stepped forward smiling broadly and wrapped his arms around the group, completing the circle.

Just then, Lily bounded back into the room, her small arms loaded with  clothes she should wear at the amusement park.
"Look, Grandma, Look Eonni! Look, Oppa! Is this pretty?!"

"Yes!" And all chuckled at her enthusiasm, their hearts lightened by her joy. Grandma smiled through her tears, feeling the love and support that surrounded her.

"Come here, Lily," Taehyung called, opening his arms.

Lily ran into his embrace, her giggles infectious. "I can't wait for tomorrow!"

"We can't wait either." Taehyung replied, lifting her up and twirling her around, her laughter filling the room.

As Lily settled back down, Grandma, her eyes twinkling with gratitude, looked over at Taehyung. "Thank you for making her so happy."

Taehyung smiled warmly. "It's our pleasure, Grandma. We're all happy to see her smile."

Grandma, feeling the warmth of the moment, reached out her hand. "Come here, everyone."

We all gathered around her, enveloping her in a group hug. They stood there, a family bound by love and care.

....

...At Late Night...

...Taehyung's Bedroom...

Comfortably laying on my bed, and scrolling through Instagram.

How I wish Y/N was on Insta; I would have a chance to see her posts, get glimpses into her world, and maybe even get to know her a little better.

As I mindlessly swiped through my feed, I stumbled upon Jimin's latest post, a photo of the skit play students.

There was Jimin, front and center, with his charmistic grin. Beside him was Emily, looking cheerful as always. Then there was me, showing a broad smile and tilting my head towards     right side. And right next to me, practically glowing, was Y/N. She was caught mid-laugh, her eyes sparkling with joy. To her right was Mira, and a few more of our friends were scattered around, everyone looking relaxed and happy.

I liked it ❤️

And began scrolling the comments, chuckling a little at the usual comments. That's when something caught my eye—a profile named "Elysian95_" with a profile picture of a girl captured in a side profile, her hair cascading down and covering most of her face, giving her an air of mystery. There was something familiar about it, something that tugged at the back of my mind.

"Lovely Skit Play Experience ❤️," read the comment.

Intrigued, I clicked on it and saw Jimin's reply:
"Indeed, Princess Valeria!"
.
.
.

My heart skipped a beat. What? Princess Valeria? How come? Without wasting a second, I clicked on the profile. Ugh!!! it's private. I scrolled through Jimin's other posts and noticed that this account liked every single one. A quick check on Emily's posts revealed the same pattern. And both of them followed each other.

My heart pounded with excitement and a bit of disbelief. That means its Y/N.

No wonder I couldn't find her ID these past months! It wasn't under her real name but rather "Elysian." She's actually quite reserved.

But this Jimin... Just meet me, and I'll give you a nice punch. This guy knew all along that Y/N had an Insta ID and never bothered to tell me. How could he keep this from me? Just wait until I see you, Mr. Park Jimin.

I was fuming inside when the doorknob started to rotate making a soft sound. As soon as I heard it, I flipped my phone over, turned it off and pretended to be asleep.

...

"Taehyung, are you asleep?" I heard my mom ask softly.

Not getting any response, she walked over, pulled the blanket over me, kissed my forehead, and said,
"Good night, darling."

With that, she left.

As soon as I heard the door close, I relaxed. If Mom found out I was on my phone this late, she would have surely scolded me. Letting out a sigh, I flipped my phone back over and turned it on.

And my heart again skipped a beat. "Shitttt!!!!!"

I had accidentally sent a follow request to Y/N.

I was about to retract it when my instincts stopped me. Maybe it was a sign.
Someone had to take the first step, right? And I decided to leave it, feeling a thrill of excitement mixed with nervous anticipation.

Slightly grinning to myself, I thought about how Y/N might react when she saw the request. Would she be surprised? Flattered? Curious? I wanted to make a good impression, and an idea struck me. I quickly opened my profile and decided to update my profile photo and bio.

Scrolling through my gallery, I found a picture that seemed perfect. It was a side profile shot, taken on a quiet evening under the snowfall. The light was soft, casting a warm glow over my face, and the background had an aesthetic, artsy feel to it. It was a bit similar to the  Y/N's profile pic. And after finishing with the final touch up. I smiled.

I hope she accepts it .

...

Setting my phone aside, I stared up at the ceiling, my mind racing with thoughts of tomorrow. I couldn't wait to see her reaction, to spend time with Her, Nuna and Lily, at the amusement park. The anticipation buzzed through me, making it hard to lie still.

Can't wait for tomorrow!!
