"I'm really sick of this Tae, lets just work on our plan we've been thinking of for so many years," Aera said.

" You mean....leaving ur parents?" Taehyung said in serious tone.

"Yes"

" But....I don't want to show disrespect or our bad side"

" Bad side? Parents?They are my abusive adopters? And you? Not to mention Alone....we both have always wanted this!"

" Yeah I know , I have only you, who showed me what family is"

" Then do u have any girlfriend Tae...which is why you don't wanna go?"

" No....if I had I wouldn't be spending time with u, my crime partner....I'm on this plan...but what about money?"

" Tae, we've beem working in cafés, printing press , so we'll definitely get a job to satisfy ourselves .....I'm really tired of them," Aera said sighing.

" Okay then tomorrow,  we leave. I'll try to get some house infos,or flats or etc."

With this they both left the café.

2 hours later in the evening
"Aera,lend me some money, ur mom is at the club," dad asked.
" But they are my savings, why don't you quit drugs and drinks?" Aera asked in defense.

" How dare you?" He said as he held her wrists tightly.
" Now hear me out you little bitch, be thankful,  we adopted you," he said while grinding his teeth in rage.

" Ahhhhh....ahh..its hur- hurting"

" Hmm,I'm not doing this to give u comfort," he said as he opened his belt.

" Dad....no...no," Aera cried, begged but he didn't stop.

Aera's pov:
It was always like this, my parents would always abuse my physically or mentally for even a small thing.  But I was stubborn as hell. I won't be giving him money. I might be hurt but he needs to learn how to stay without addiction,  especially when I have earned from my own sweat.

Crying my heart out, I went inside my room.
" Open the door, Aera," dad screamed.
But I knew be won't break open the door. Next I called my only saviour.

Taehyung's pov:
" Aera, are u crying? What happened?"

" Tae...he..he"

" Wait, geez, I'm coming right now!"

" No....I just want to...to"

" Gosh ,Aera you always cal me to talk and listen to my comforts. Pls just once , let me come and provide you my shoulders ", I pleaded.

All I heard was silent sobs from her. I loved her, but she knew love can destroy friendship so we stay as usual Best frnds.

Wasting no Time, I went to her house.

" Oh her man came?" Her dad scoffed.
" Mr. ....pls accept this money," I said as I handed him some of my saving and he happily took it. Then I rushed to Aera's room.

" Did u give him money again?" She asked.

" I mean," I said looking down.

" Gosh, now I've 1000 reasons to leave this house, Tae"

I just hugged her fragile body and patted her head.

"We will tomorrow at 8am," I spoke while showing her the list of places I chose.

"Omg...nice work, dude,  but just I want a place with less people," she said.

"Ofc, our choices are same. Lemme stay beside you tonight. "

Next day at 8 am
Taehyung has been sleeping beside me the whole night. Ofc, no worries, coz his parents have died in an accident and he lives alone, so he comes to my house occasionally and lives.

We didn't waste a second. Before my parents wake up, we ran away giggling like mischievous kids.

" MISSION SUCCESSFUL ", Tae said smiling as he drove. I smiled too.
