It's been almost a year since Jimin started learning but was frustrated on how he kept messing up.
That day he didn't leave the playground to practice. He sat below a tree with his hands wrapped around his knees watching the tree shed its leaves.
It was one of his favorite places to be at. He loved being around nature alot. He didn't had a friend circle but loved to be around aunt.
His daily routine was to learn everday. That's what he loved doing. Trying to learn new dance steps from one of the tv shows or exploring the garden with anyone he was comfortable with kept him feel alive.
But today he didn't felt like doing anything. Frustration was something that had taken over him.
A child loves to be given all things that he loved but he didn't knew if he could actually ask anyone to buy him anything.
He wanted to have his own violin of his own, to which he could claim as it's his. Even thought he could ask his aunt to let him borrow the violin she owned but was scared if anything that may go wrong.
He thought it was foolish to be frustrated over a simple thing but however he had to get over it.
Someone approached him from behind and touched his shoulders in anticipation to have his attention.
"Jimin? Why didn't you came up today to practice?"
He knew who it was but kept silent. He looked at the playing area where few children were making sand castle with a lot of excitement.
"I kept messing the tune you taught me so I came down here to think.." he said calmly not wanted to say what he actually needed.
"But aren't you gonna practice again to make it right?"
She sat beside him watching where Jimin was looking at.
"I ... I don't know.... Is it ok to ask something that I can't have?" He still didn't looked up at her thinking he might not be able to face her.
She knew what he was talking about. Few weeks ago when she was out for some work , in coming back she saw Jimin looking at the violin which she had left on her desk and sawchow he was mumbling to have one for himself too. She knew this kid wanted to play with her together.
"How about you come up with me and have a little talk with some cookies I bought?"
"Okkeyyyyyy!!" She saw a smile appear on his face as in that process his eyes dissapeared.
'How cute this little angel is.'
They both stood up as little Jimin holded her hand firmly knowing he'll get some cookies.
_____________
"Its tasty!!" He munched fondly .
She watched him in awe thinking if he will accept what was coming up next.
She pulled out a big box from under her desk and kept it on the desk, visible enough for Jimin to stop having the last bites of his cookies.
"How about you quickly finish up the cookie and have a look inside?"
She folded her arms, watching Jimin eat soo fast and climb on the chair to have a good look inside.
"Wooooooahhhhh!!! Its soo beautiful!!" Jimin squilled in excitement as he cautiously holded the violin that was kept inside the box.
She noticed some spark in his eyes. She knew what that eyes are like.
'To be around the thing you love the most.'
"How about we start with our practice together?" She said thinking that he might know what she meant.
His eyes grew big when he realized what she said. He shoot his eyes towards her and looked shocked. He shook his head in a no but she knew what that meant.
He was happy.
"I can't tak-"
"I bought it for you . Don't say no to me." She rose from her seat and took her violin of hers and placed it under her chin .
"So shall we start?"
There was nothing to say now. His smile was all she need.

Few days later there were some laughter inside the office. Tea was served and many words were exchanged.
Directress had some new visitors. One of her old friends had come to be a part of the institution and were willingly wanted to donate and help in the further future opportunities for the children.
The couple had bought their daughter along with them. She was a sweet one and got along with everyone .
"Rose why don't you go and play in the play ground. Everyone would love to be with you." Directress said in the middle of the talk , not wanting the child to be bored.
"Sure!" With that little Rose stood and went out of the office excitedly to play with others.
On her way down she heard something being played. She was fond of listening music and curiosity got the best of her.
On reaching the ground floor she looked around to find the source but didn't saw anything being played or anyone. She moved more forward as the music got more audible.
She came across a door which she assumed to be a tv room as explained by her dad. On looking inside she saw a boy with a violin playing it with utmost delight.
She stood there , near the door frame and saw him playing.
'So beautiful...'
She never saw someone soo engrossed in something someone loved. She wanted to approach him but didn't wanted to interrupt.
When the boy stopped playing he looked up , confused on never seeing this girl before.
She clapped for him with a grin on her face.
It was something new for him. He never saw anyone hear him play .
Feeling shy he tried looking at something but looked back at her who was approaching him.
"It was awesome!!" The girl clapped again making him blush again.
"T-thank you." He bowed a little.
"I'm Rose , and you?" She extended her hands to him.
"I'm Jimin." Hesitantly he took her hands .
'Her smile...'
"Would you play for me whenever I visit??" She thought maybe he might deny the offer.
"S-sure ."
"Friends?" She held her pinky to him.
"Friends." He smiled heartedly knowing now he will have someone who appreciates and be with him.
He found someone precious.
