this book is deticated to my best friend niclevv

nicole was walking through empty streets of seoul with a beer in her hand. she was done with her family. running away from home was a normal thing in her life. she was twenty-three years old, still living with her parents, which was pathetic in her opinion. although she had two jobs and she was trying to save money for a small flat far away from her parents, she still couldn't afford it. she sometimes stayed overnight at her friend's, but he was out of town that day. she started walking towards the hang-gang river. she was spending a lot of time by that river, it was really calming.

nicole started thinking about her past. the opportunity of becoming a k-pop idol was there for her. it was. but her mother didn't allow it. she was trying to convince her mother, but it didn't work. nicole was really passionate about music, it was incredible what she could do. her voice and dance moves. it was fascinating.

she sipped her beer and stood on the edge of bridge. just one move and she could live a better life. it's not like she believed in god. she thought that everything was better than living with my family. you will think that killing herself just, because of that is stupid. but that's not the only reason. her mum was insulting her all the time and it was unbearable.

"don't do that. please." she heard a voice from behind her. it was soothing and incredibly deep. she turned to see a boy with black hair and dark circles under his beautiful eyes.

"why not?" her voice broke. she looked in the eyes, but he turned his gaze away from her.

"because it's not worth it. trust me. i tried, but they saved me." he finally felt brave enough to look her in the eye. nicole was mesmerized by his eyes. they were beautiful, but underneath the beauty, was hiding fear and pain.

"what's your name?" she whispered.

"min yoongi, and yours?" he sent her a small smile, which she thought it was the cutest smile she has seen in her entire life.

"n-nicole williams, i-i'm not from korea." she backed from the edge. she started shivering.

"oh god, you're cold. come on, i know the place, we're gonna warm you up." he said and grabbed her hand.
