The two figures walked in complete silence under the blazing hot sun.

Renjun and Herin had just got out the school gates successfully. Renjun walked to his parked motorbike,
Herin trialing behind like a lost duckling.

She had completely forgot that her ride home was a bus that had scheduled timings, Apparently three in one day.
One after school as it came right when her classes finished, the other that comes about 13 minutes after detention finishes, and the last one after sun down at 9 sharp.

And now that she had bunked detention, she had to wait for the second bus aleast an hour or so to get home.

Renjun stopped walking when he got to his bike.
"I got you out, now leave."

He grabbed his helmet in his hands, glancing at Herin.

Her big puppy dog eyes shyly stared at him while scrunching her nose as she shifted her gaze towards the road, indicating at she had no ride home.

She didn't want to say anything though, she felt herself getting quite annoying.
And she didn't want to be a burden.

It took a few seconds for Renjun to get what she meant.
"Yeah, I'm not giving you a lift."

"But Um...how am I supposed to get home then?"
He looked down at her as she tightened her grip on her bag straps.

"Not my problem."

Renjun's voice lacked any sign of guilt as be placed his bag in the seat compartment and swung a leg over the bike, sitting down.

"O-Oh okay...Um, ride safely then.."
Herin took a few Steps back and stared at the floor.
Renjun rolled his eyes.

But just as he lifted his hands up to wear his helmet, a bunch of other bikes that were coming from the street across, stopped in their ways and stood around them.

Herin who was surprised at the sudden commotion of being surrounded by a bunch of bikes, just blinked while looking at the them.
Nevertheless, She loved the way bikes were handled, finding it absolutely mesmerising and beautiful.

Too bad she can't ride one.

Renjun groaned as he recognised the bikes and bikers.

"This your girlfriend?"
Jaemin removed his helmet and palmed his face while eyeing Herin.

"No, and I told you I was gonna meet you guys in our-"
"She's pretty cute tho."

Haechan got off his bike with a huge smirk, walking over to Herin who was uncomfortable by the attention.
Renjun shot a glare at haechan, causing him to stop in his tracks.

"She's the one I told you about."
Renjun lazily held in helmet in his arms while still scowling at Herin as he remembered what her innocent figure did to him.

Haechan chuckled loudly, pointing his finger towards Herin.
"This girl? Ha, I thought it would be someone atleast a bit more...intimidating."

His laughter didn't die down as Herin just stared at the ground. Nervous and not really the most congenial in the moment. Most of the times she was able to befriend new people by her friendly personality, but in this case she was a numb little butterfly.

Especially when it's a 'gang' Saewoo told her about.

She gulped while fidgeting with her fingers.
"I-I'm truly sorry for my actions that day though...Really..."

Her voice shaking, eyes Gazing around the ground under the sharp stares on her.

At those sincere words of hers, Haechan blasted out in more laughter.
Jeno, Jaemin and Jisung sharing a few chuckles along with him as the three of them got massive glares by an angry Renjun.

"Damn I- can't belive Renjun got trashed by her!"
Haechan said, in between his harsh pants.

"Alright cut it off you dingbats, we have a mission to do. Chenle's waiting."
Renjun started his bike.

"Oh, but the lady here has no ride I see."
Jaemin's small smirk and flirtatious expressions met Herin's tense eyes when they made eye contact.

"I-It's okay. I can wait for my bus. Thank you for the offer though, I appreciate it-"
"Shut up."
"O-Oh.."

Renjun's raspy voice cut her soft one, being annoyed by her never ending sentences.

"Oh come on, don't be so rude to her. She's so sweet."
Jaemin sulked his eyes at Renjun and grinned at Herin.

To which she returned a small awward smile, melting Jaemin.

"Aw, she's so small. Look at those cute dimples! I wanna poke them so ba-"
"Can we fucking leave already?"

Renjun scowled at Jaemin who looked at her with motherly love.
Jaemin rolled his eyes at his rude actions.
"Okay grumpy pants, bye Herin. See you around!"

Drifting their bikes to the other direction while creating rapid movement causing smoke to crawl out the bikes, they geared it loud.

"It was nice meeting you!"
Herin calmly bid them as they sped of.

Renjun scowled at her side profile, her jet black hair shining fulgently as her small smile plastered wide on her soft pale skin that seemed like ravishing honey under the beaming sun.

Herin turned to her side and saw his eyes on her. Making eye contact under the vivid sunlight, she gave him a beauteous smile.

He clicked his tounge in annoyance.

Without another word he put his helmet on and took off, leaving Herin alone on the street.

She sighed and strided her way to the bus stop. Inhaling the alluring scent of nature as she passed by the basil leaves of a perennial plant with an elongated trunk, supporting branches and it's leaves.
Pushing her stress and problems aside, she appreciated the beauty of nature around her while sitting calmly on the empty bus stop.

She radiated happy energy.
