Pretty Little Runaway

FIVE

Oh god I'm a terrible human being. I have spent the past few hours with these boys, and I had a really good time, well after ignoring all the glares Yeonjun would throw at me. He clearly didn't trust me enough to let his guard down even for a bit. Huening Kai was literally the sweetest but don't take his food or he'll eat you alive. Soobin is in love with bread, which I found kind of adorable. Taehyun was great at singing, and had a wonderful voice. And it turns out that Yeonjun may not be a complete asshole. I was still deciding on that.

Back to why I was a terrible human being: Huening Kai had asked if I wanted to join them on a 'job' in the morning and I caved in when he batted his eyes and pouted at me. That goddamn pout. But I wouldn't be here when he would come to wake me up in the morning. I needed to leave, not only because Yeonjun made my head swirl, and the little voice in my head scream 'ABORT!' at me. But also because I didn't want to put them in danger. They didn't read the last message my father sent me, which made me throw my phone at the wall. 'We will find you. And when we do, I will kill you and whoever you become close to. I wont even hesitate.' I cant believe he would do that. I mean I could, but just how inhumane is he?

I couldn't let that happen to them, not after the night we had. Not after seeing how nice they were. They might not be close to me, but if my father knew I had contact with them, well I didn't want to know what would happen. I may not have known them long and they might be thieves but I wont let them get hurt because of me. Besides, he wont kill me, kill me. He needs me to run the company but he can hurt me and I know he definitely wont hesitate to hurt or even murder someone he doesn't know just to get what he wants. Maybe even someone he knows.

So here I was, sitting on the table with my head in my hands and my bag beside me. I was sleeping in the living room. They allowed me to walk around, but I never left this room. I didn't want to get a chance to see something that would attach me to them, which would make it harder for me to leave. I realized that they all sort of cling to each other, even Yeonjun. With his stupid, attractive, bored expression. From what I could see, they have been together for a very long time and were very close to one another, I would even go as far as to say that they trust each other with their lives. I wanted something like that. But I wouldn't get it. Not with that threat hanging over my head. It's just better to be alone.

I looked at the clock above the door and sighed. It was 1am on the dot. I sighed and looked around for a piece of paper and something to write with. The least I could do was write them a note; I could always tell them to burn it after reading it. There cant be any trace of me here. God this sucks. I was really starting to like them. Maybe even Yeonjun, but that was still to be decided. I finally found a piece of paper and a pen and started writing. Nothing special, just a simple goodbye and all that jazz. Yeah right loser. Oh shut up me.

When I finished writing, I folded the paper writing 'Open at your own risk' with a silly face on it, trying to lighten whatever mood they may be in after just waking up and reading this. With that I put the paper on the table, and walked over to the window with my bag. I was right, I would need a chair or ladder to get up to it. With a sigh a pulled the side table from beside the couch to the bottom of the window and climbed on top of it, opening the window and taking a deep breath. I tossed my bag first, cringing and freezing when I heard it make a louder sound than I expected on impact. I waited a minute before pulling myself onto the window sill. Turns out, I was on the first floor of the house. Huh. I carefully hopped off the ledge and landed on the ground with a roll. I carefully turned around and tried to figure out how I was supposed to close the window. I didn't want their house to get all cold or whatever happened when you left the window open at night.

That's when I found a really big trashcan and with some difficulty I dragged it to the wall and stood on it before closing the window and hopping down. I quickly grabbed my bag and walked to the front of the house, resisting every urge I had to look into the windows to catch a glimpse of one of the boys before hopping the fence separating me from the road. I got to the very front of the house and frowned lightly. I'm sorry Kai...
