Lonely Playground
I really didn't want to go to the playground. But the moment I saw him, I regretted those words.

OC point of view [most of the story will be in her point of view]
My parents urged me out of our big black van. I stumbled out. They left almost immediately when I got onto the wood chips in the playground. I don't understand why they always leave me by myself. I wish my parents at least cared about me.
I stopped in my steps when I saw a boy sitting on the swings with his head down. He wasn't even swinging. I suddenly realized that no one else has on the playground but him. I felt an urge to talk to him. He didn't notice me at all when I tiptoed further.
"Hello?"
He doesn't answer or lookup.
"Hi? Are you okay?"
He looks up and says with a raspy voice, "No, leave me alone". He immediately lets his head drop again.
I press on for a clearer answer.
"Why are you alone?"
"My mom is not here"
"Why?"
"Why do you care so much? No one cares about me"
"That's not true because I do"
At these words, he starts to cry, the only thing I think of is to hug him.
I felt someone walking towards me.
I never would have thought it would be someone who cared about me.

Boy pov
I heard her say hello. I didn't care. The only person I ever loved and felt the same for me was gone.
She asked again but louder.
"Hi? Are you okay?"
I looked up, she really wanted to know if I was okay. I maybe felt I should've ignored her but, then I realized she was just being nice.
But I replied, "No, leave me alone".
I kinda felt bad but decided to zone out again.
She pressed on,
Why are you alone?"
"My mom is not here"
"Why?"
"Why do you care so much? No one cares about me"
"That's not true because I do"
I started tearing up and then next thing I knew silent tears were coming down my face. It shocked me so much when she wrapped her arms around me. I started blushing.
OC pov
I kept hugging him and felt him dig his chin down even lower into his very seeable collar bone. I then tangled my fingers through his rough hair. I brushed his dark hair until it was smooth. He looked up at me in surprise when I lowered my face to see his eyes. He just stared and I saw that he was blushing. I stared right back. I got on the other swing and just kept looking at him.
"I'm Chu Min"
"I'm Min Yoongi"
...
"So, why are you here?"
"My dad left me here"
"My parents left me here"
"Yeah, I saw from here"
"Oh-"
"I don't have anywhere to go"
"I can ask my parents if you can live with us?"
"No, it's fine.."
"No you really should, I wish I had someone to talk to and you would be great company"
"I don't know.."
I was swinging back and forth and then I didn't realize I was slipping off and I fell in the wood chips. I was only wearing a dress and white stockings. The boy, well Min Yoongi, tried to catch me but our hands slipped. And I was completely exposed as I was laying on my stomach trying to get up. I pulled my dress back down, all the meanwhile blushing.
Min Yoongi pov
All of a sudden she was falling, I tried to catch her with my hand but, I was too far away from her reach and she fell straight on her front side. Her dress flew up, and I blushed. I don't understand why this girl was making me blush so much. I got off the swings and went to help her up.
"Here", I held my hand out for her.
Turns out, I'm not that much taller than her maybe a few inches. I then realized where were my manners. As she got up I asked her how old she was and she was just a little younger than me but I insisted her to call me just Yoongi.
Min pov
I was as red as a tomato and tried to get up and heard a sudden, "Here".
Min Yoongi was holding out his hand, and he too was flustered. I took his hand and he asked me how old I was. I was just 6, but I had really long almost black hair it was almost lower than my whole back. He told me to just call him Yoongi and I gladly accepted the offer. We chatted a little more until I saw a familiar black van park at the playground.
