We were having fun time with each other, when I asked her....

"Hey little, what's your name??", while slightly touching her tiny nose with the tip of my index finger.

"Ohh ..!! I forgot to introduce myself!!!How stupid of me !!", While slapping her head lightly..

Not giving me time to reply to her, she
jumped from my lap and stood in front of me, bow down 90 degrees and then said..

"Anneong ghaseyo, My name is Lily. I am 4 years old, I study at Eurokids school. Nice to meet you Eonni..👏👏
Now your turn."

Lily ... pure and innocent bloom just like her.

Giggling to her innocence. I stood like her and copied her way.

"Anneong ghaseyo, My name is Y/N, I study at Seoul University, Nice to meet you too Lily!"

Literally being with children your inner child expresses out, heart fills with spirit. Though they are so small and oblivious, they never fail to teach us the beauty of inner child innocence and happiness in small little things in life.

And then we sat down beside each other.

"Lily where are your parents??", I asked her

It made me sad when I heard her next. Sentence...

"I have never met them... Eonni..
but my Grandma says that they are in Dreamland, a beautiful place where we can go after we study and become good human beings. She says it's at the farthest end of the earth so it's difficult to travel there and that's why they can't come here likewise for us, and I cannot talk to them since it is far from here.
But when I grow up I'll go and meet them, and give all the love to them which I missed and tightly hug them.."

I know that world, it's indeed very far..
Pondering about life without parents, it hurts. I have spent 9 years without my father with great difficulty. Mom and I had to do with each and every second struggles, pain supportless.

Smiling through tears I cheered her up ..."Sure we'll go together to that place, my father also stays there."

"Is it so...?"

"Yup!!"

"Then you can meet your uncle now, as you have studied?"

"Not now... I have to become a good human being first, as your Grandma said ", looking up at the evening sky

"You are Eonni ...", while looking at you

"You too ...Sweetie", while turning the head towards Lily

We both smiled ...

After a few seconds of taking in the beauty of the evening sky.

"Where is your grandma Lily?"

"I don't know Eonni.."

"You are not worried ?"

"Naah ... I am enjoying it with you.
And I know Grandma will find me."

"Hmm... But sweetie it's getting late. Now tell me."

"Umm... please don't tell Grandma, or she'll scold me."

"I won't!"

"Pinky promise while holding out her little finger ..."

And then I promised her.

"Grandma and I were at the park when a candy car came she brought me one, and told me to stand there and not move while she was giving the money to the man. I was happily licking the candy when I saw a cute puppy running and I ran behind him even when I was instructed never to go anywhere without informing Grandma but I carelessly followed the puppy, but I fell down making my candy also fall down and cover with dirt... And now I didn't get anything neither the puppy nor candy and now I am here without grandma."

Again wiping her small tears ...
"No worries we both will find your grandma, then I took her in my arms and made my way towards the park."

Okay so, we'll find your grandma.

She with enthusiasm said..

"Mission Find Grandma ..✌️"

Chuckling...

"Yes ... Mission Find Grandma ...✌️"

After an hour of tiring work of searching we sat on the bench, and then I saw an old woman coming towards us hastily and in a second I saw lily running towards her and then they hugged each other.
I think that's her Grandma.

Her Grandma was so tensed it was clearly visible on her face, she kissed lily repeatedly all over her face.
After a few minutes of exchanging love. Lily ran towards me with her Grandma.
With her tiny fingers she held my hand and told her Grandma all about our meeting.

"Grandma, look I made a new friend... She gave me chocolate and helped to find you."

She raised her hand for a high five understanding her gesture I high five her. And then she said
"Mission completed..."

Her Grandma and I just chuckled at the little overexcited figure...

Her Grandma suddenly hugged me making me startled, holding her she just kept thanking me and said that it means a lot to her and she is indebted to me.

I repeatedly denied the concept of indebted, and told her that it's our duty as a human being to help the people in need, and I did the same thing, nothing great.

After a few minutes....

Talking to her, my eyes drop to my watch making me curse.
"Shit!! It's 5 pm.. I missed the interview."

-----Author's pov-----

Grandma noticed your worried expression and offered her hand to cares your back ...

"Dear what's the matter??"

First you were preventing but looking at her kind and sincere gestures. You open up to her, telling her the situation...

She comforts you and gives you hope, and the next moment a wide smile comes to your face when u hear her next words...

"Work for me then..."

"Ohh that's so awesome...", you squealed with happiness..
"Yeah yeah sure, but what work I have to do "

"I have a flower shop near this centre park, I needed a few workers, so you might join as a worker like making the bouquets, taking orders."

"That sounds great!! I am willing to work for you ma'am."

She chuckled seeing the overhyped girl in front of her..

"Uhh no formality. You can call me Grandma."

"Grandma?"

"Yes, you are like my child dear, y/n?"

"Thank you so much Grandma"

"And you hugged her tightly."

After a few funny and emotional talks.

You bid goodbye to her and the Lil one and headed towards my home all happy dubby

-----End of pov-----

It was a great day ...

"Finally got a job!! Yaayyyyy!!!!!

...Next day ...

Again following the usual routine of doing the house chores, placing the note and left.

...At University...

Hey... Emily squealing with happiness runs towards you while you run towards her and both of you engulfed each other....

"It's been years.... we have met ..."

Chuckling, you said, "only 3 days..."

"Aissh girl ... then also, it's been a long time. I am eager to hear the story."

"Sure you'll know it ..."

Both of you laughing entered the class.

...During the lecture ...

"So students this is all for today but before we end class I need to give u all an assignment.", Professor announced

Sigh....!!!

"This look on your face won't help, you have to do it to get your internal marks."

"I'll give you the topics today itself so that you can start working on it and one great point about it is that you can do it in groups each will be of 2 members, and the choices are yours.

..One more thing that this assignment is interconnected with the other class that is xx class, so you are requested to pair with those groups who have the same topic as yours.
This assignment has to be submitted by the end of the next month, so u guys have a full 1.5 months in hand. I want a good project and not copy pasted. "

A smile spreads across the room ....

*In Y/N's mind* - Me ... the Innocent girl... not knowing the reason behind their smiley faces.
Is it because we have to collaborate with members from other class's boys and girls🤨?

I'll give you 5 mins to make pairs."

Chaos started diluting the room...

As soon as Sir ended it, we both looked at each other, and

"One team ?"

"Is there any doubt. I am with you girl!",said Emily

Then one by one the group came and took out a chit... So that's how we got the topic ...

"Environment and Humanity"

Nice topic!!

The next two classes went hectic ..

"Ufff.....such a mental tiring day", you complained

while Emily agreeing with you said...

"Yeah ... thank God, now we have a lunch break or else we would have passed out."

"Tru...", You were cut off when you heard a girl blaring.

"Y/N you are presence is required in the staff room."

"Yeah ....coming ...

Guess what, it has not ended yet."

"Hmm... I'll be in the canteen, come there as soon as your work is done."

"Yeah ...Bye..." And you excited the room

-----Taehyung's pov-----

Today was such a mentally tiring day. I thought assignments, projects, all these will end at the school level, but guess what it didn't, it has to haunt me till the end of my life ...hufff!!!!!!

Why ?why??? are these assignments given, we do so much hard work for just a few marks and then this hardwork is then thrown in the dustbin...sigh ...this is a serious crime!!!

On top of that we have to do the work with the group of other class.
This stress is never ending...

Looking at the watch ..where is this Jimin. Getting up and looking for him ....

I was going to call him when I saw him talking with a girl.

~~~~Ooooooooo interesting!!!

I guess I should wait until they are don...
umm no wait
Theres no harm in entering at the wrong time. People in my case always enter at the wrong time.

"Hey Jimin!!" Walking towards him...

The girl said something and then she left.

Throwing my right hand on his shoulder.

"Soooo.... Who was that girl???" Wiggling my eyes ...

"Ohh She was Emily... she is from the other class with whom we had to pair up with for the assignment so we are with her and her friend. As we have the same topic."
...

Coming to my sense ...

*In mind*.. So y/n's friend's name is Emily hmmm.. Emily's friend is
y/n ...ummm...so that means ....

....

....

y/n and I'll be in the same group to do the project ...

Squealing with delight

"ooohhh that's nice ...", I replied to him, while hiding my inner self excitement.

*In mind ...* assignments are not that bad. Thank you God ...you gave this assignment, this is so so good ...
I love you.

...At canteen ...

-----Y/N's pov-----

After doing the assigned work I ran towards the canteen.
Entering I scanned the room to look for the familiar face. Emily waved her hand, doing the same I walked towards her.

As I approached closer I saw two figures sitting opposite her.
Taking the seat I looked towards the 2 figures in front of me.

Taehyung???
