Foreword
Sitting on the steps of the orphanage, Taeyeon's tears dropped uncontrollably down. Burying her face in her palms, she trembled as the waves of memories washes over her. Behind her, she could hear the faint voices of the social worker talking to Sister Maria, The head of the All Saints Orphanage "Poor child, her parents were killed in this terrible car crash. We couldn't locate any of her relatives so I guess she will have to stay here for now." The social worker said as she took a look at the crying Taeyeon. "She was so lucky that her parents threw her out of vehicle before the truck crashed into their car." Hearing all this, Taeyeon mind drifted back to a day ago, The fateful day where she will never forget.
"Hurry up, we are going to be late for Andy's birthday" Taeyeon's mom screamed at the adjacent door as she hurriedly dressed Taeyeon up in her newly bought white frolly dress and attempted to put on her shoes at the same time. "Coming coming. Honey, should I wear the black or the silver tie?" Taeyeon's dad said as he placed two ties against himself. "Just wear anything. You look good to me even if you are in singlet and shorts," Taeyeon's mom smiled as she adjusted the tie for her husband. After dressing up and grabbing the present from the dresser table, They carried the smiling Taeyeon up from the couch and placed her in the backseat of their car. Revving the engine, Taeyeon's dad hurriedly drove off towards their boss's dinner party. Taeyeon's parents worked for the Kwon Industries as Senior managers and today they were invited to their boss's dinner party as it was his birthday.
As they drove, Taeyeon was whining in the back seat. "Mummy.. I am hungry. Can I eat this lollipop?" Taeyeon asked as her stubby fingers struggled to open the wrapper of the lollipop she held in her hands. "Tae tae, if you eat the lollipop now, you won't have any appetite later" Her mom gently chided her but as she turned back, she saw the pout on Taeyeon's face and she relented. "Ok, only this small one ok?" Smiling, she took the lollipop from Taeyeon's hands and opened the lollipop for her. Grinning the toothy grin, Taeyeon took the opened lollipop from her mom and happily on the lollipop while singing a happy song about loving her mom the most. Just as she was happily enjoying the lollipop, she was thrown to one side roughly, hitting her head on the side of the car door as her dad had suddenly swerved to avoid hitting this car in front of them that was weaving in between 3 lanes. Before Taeyeon could react to the pain on the side of her head, She felt this churning sensation in her stomach as their car spined 360 degrees and after fighting for control, her dad managed to bring the car to a stop. Just then, a set of headlights flashed on their right and it grew brighter and brighter and a loud honking sound deafen her ears. Taeyeon could feel a set of arms carrying her up, she could feel warm blood on her arms and warm tears dropping on her legs. Before she was flung out of the car, she could clearly hear her mom and dad scream their last words. "Taeyeon, remember this... We will always love you." After that, all Taeyeon could see was a flame of fireball rushing up in the air as the truck hit her parent's car. Taeyeon could feel the heat of the explosion on her face, dropping the lollipop on the ground, she began to cry with all her might.
Wham. A ball hit her in the head bringing her back to reality. Taeyeon lifted her face from her palms and realised her palms and legs were wet with her tears. "Hey pabo, throw us the ball" A boy ran towards her. As he bent down to pick up the ball he noticed her puffy eyes and red cheeks. He scream for his friends as they came running surrounding her. "Aww, our newcomer is a cry baby" Chants of crybaby started as they grew louder and louder, coming from everywhere as if she had a set of surround sound system around her. The boys poked her cheeks and pulled her hair. Some made funny faces and the others just laughed at her predicament. Taeyeon flushed and tried her best not to cry as the chants of crybaby grew and at that moment she wished her parents were still by her side, calming her down and telling her its all just a bad dream.
She looked at the faces looming in front of her, bit on her lower lips and before she could do or say anything, she saw a figure rushed in and stood in front of her. Screaming above the chants, the figure glared at the surrounding boys and they quieten down."Yah! Why are you bullying the newcomers again. Do you guys wanna die? She is here meaning she just lost her parents like us and you guys still dare to bully her." Bunching her small fist in front of her, she stood in front of Taeyeon protecting her and letting the guys know that if they wanted to bully Taeyeon somemore, they would have to go through her. After 3 minutes of glaring, the leader of the boys just shrugged and call the boys to go and play football. "Its not we are scared of you, we are just too man to hit girly girls" He shouted behind his shoulder as they ran towards the games area. Watching the boys run away, the figure turned towards Taeyeon and smiled as she extended a hand to her. "Hi newcomer, whats your name? I am Jessica."
