"Where are you going, (Y/N)?" Jong-Hyun asked his daughter as she appeared to be going outside with a backpack and suitcase.

"Don't worry, honey. She is just creating a new drama." Ji-Su assured her husband but he wasn't likely to give any response to his wife.

"I am going, as I was said to do so." (Y/N) replied, unsure of what response to give.

"Go back, (Y/N)." Jong-Hyun ordered her. 

"Dad." (Y/N) said in a calm voice, "It's better this way."

"Yeah, yeah. Do as you please." Ji-Su exclaimed, "She'll be back tomorrow. She can't survive on her own for long, that is unless," She mocked her. "Finds another host."

(Y/N) gritted her teeth before smiling widely, "We can't be so sure about future, can we?" She said, "Maybe I'll find a better host."

(Y/N) mockingly smiled as she left no room for any arguments. Her leave was fixed, and no one could change her mind. No one can possibly ruin her plan that she had spent 5 minutes of her precious time on.

"See you around!" She smiled one more time before nearing the door.

"What about the rest of your stuff?" Her mother voiced out.

"Oh," (Y/N) exclaimed as sudden realization hit her,

"Burn it."

"Ah! I'm so tired from that girl's drama. I am going to rest now." Ji-Su voiced out, followed by a yawn. 

"You can go. I have to discuss some business with boys." Jong-Hyun dismissed his wife coldly.

"If it's about company, should I stay?" Ji-Su asked.

"No need." Jong-Hyun replied shortly and motioned the siblings to follow him. Before he could get out of the room, the doorbell rang.

"I swear if it's that girl then I don't know what I'll do." Ji-Su said, rubbing her temple.

"Sir, it's young master Wang." The maid said. An excited came into the living room, his hands held onto a box and a flower bouquet. He was smiling widely as he asked about his friend, "Greetings to the Kim family! Where is (Y/N)?" 

"Why are you here?" Jungkook asked.

"Aunt, you didn't tell them about it?" Jackson asked again, "Where is (Y/N)?"

"Tell us about what?" Yoongi asked in a serious tone.

"It's her birthday!" Jackson happily exclaimed. "I wanted to come at midnight but there was heavy traffic due to weekend so I thought it would be best to leave early."

The Kim brothers were beyond shocked. (Y/N) just got the best possible gift for her birthday, getting disowned by her own mother.

"She is not here." The youngest spoke, "She got abandoned by her own mother."

"W-What?" Jackson was perplexed by this sudden news.

"It's true, my dear. (Y/N) is not a nice girl to befriend. She just used me her whole life to get everything she wanted, and I worked hard day and night to provide her everything. Yet, she never once in her life had acknowledged my efforts. She is an ungrateful brat. I wonder if I made the right decision that day. I shouldn't have adopted her." Ji-Su was at the verge of crying.

Taehyung raised his eyebrow at the ongoing melodrama before him. 

"I think of you as my son, Jackson. I advise you to stay away from her. She will just end up using you too." Ji-Su stated, almost crying.

Jimin was ready to throw hands at this statement. For him, Jackson would be the dumbest man on this earth if he ever considered Ji-Su's thoughts. 

The young man looked perplexed. "I'll think about it. I'll take my leave now. Have a good night." He hurriedly bowed and got out of that place.

On the other side, Y/n was sitting in front of a convenient store. Her stuff by her side, she was staring at nothing while eating cup noodles. She was zoned out. Someone tapped her shoulder, she flinched. She looked at the person and it was Jackson. Just somehow, he always knew where she would be according to her mood. No, it was not because of any tracker, nor they shared locations.

He had a cold face. He took a seat beside of her.

"I visited the Kim's. I got to know what happened." He said.

"And? What did she say about me?" (Y/N) got straight to the point.

"You are rude, ungrateful brat. You took advantage of her. You used her." Jackson exclaimed coldly, "Plus, she advised me to break out friendship."

"And what do you want to do, Wang?"

The male looked at her intensely. He rolled his eyes before sighing and snatching the cup noodles from her hands. He took a pair of chopsticks, "If you think you can get rid of me so soon, you are the dumbest idiot I've ever seen." He slurped the noodles, "She thought that I would get in her bullsh*t talks. Like, she knows you since you were eleven or something and I know you since you were in your diapers. How the hell does she expects me to believe her lie? Your brothers' expressions were funny as hell. They all looked so done with Ji-Su's drama!"

"Woah, Aunt to Ji-Su? Didn't took much time." (Y/N) stated.

"The one who does not respect my best friend must not expect any kind of respect from me." Jackson said as if he were a saint preaching life lesson. (Y/N) laughed and side-hugged him before laying her head on his shoulder.

"Thank you so much, Jackson. For everything." She said with a hint of seriousness in her tone.

"And thank you too, my dear. For always being there for me!" He rested his hand around her shoulders as he rested his head on top of hers. She giggled. 

"Are you going back?" He asked.

"Nope. Too much pride for that." She muttered before snatching the cup noodles back from him, "Buy your own, boy."

"Then you're coming with me." Jackson said and stood up. He offered her a hand and she sat there pouting as he had ate all of the noodles. "Oh please! I'll tell mom to cook something for you." 

"Yay!" She quickly got up, following him towards where he had parked his car. She opened the door and noticed the box and a flower bouquet in the backseat. "You had a date?" she asked after Jackson had got it.

"Oh yes, I totally forgot about it!" He said as he extended his hand to take that box. 

"You forgot your date? How reckless can you be, Wang? Like what if the girl's still waiting for you-"(Y/N)'s rant was cut off by him opening the box and holding it right before. It had her favourite chocolate cake in it, from her favourite bakery.

"Happy birthday, (Y/N)!"
