"I'm home!"

Her soft voice sounded through the room as she walked in, neatly placing her shoes inside the cabinet.

Walking in further into the house and up the stairs to her room, Exhaustion dripping out.
As her brother wasn't in sight anywhere, she took that as he wasn't home.

Herin placed her bag on her table and laid back on her bed, taking out the snacks she brought on her way home.

"You know, we're finally gonna go back to school on Monday."

Jaemin spoke loudly for everyone to hear while he cooked.
Donghyuck groaned,
"You really gotta remind me?"

"Relax, it's just school. And...we could meet little Herin there."
Jaemin wiggled his brows at his friends. Jeno who was laying on the couch, sighed exasperatedly, knowing too well what Jaemin wanted to do.

Donghyuck gazed at him while munching down on his food.
"Renjun ain't gonna like that."

Jaemin rolled his eyes,
"So what? We're just befriending her. There's no harm in that."
"Yeah befriending a person who Renjun possibly wants to kill."

"Its true, Renjun would surely not like that."
Jeno commented in.

"Well, too bad. I'm making her my new best friend."
"As if."
"At least she's more decent and more mature than you nubs."

Jaemin rolled his eyes while eyeing their offended faces, he turned around and walked away.

Midnight, 12:24 am

The night sky was aglow with bright city lights. The pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the ink black sky hovering over.

The girl looked up at the blanket of stars that stretched to infinity.

She sighed as she walked the street of the nasty and burnt off roads. Her short lengthed dark ebony hair that landed just over her shoulders was straightened to the edge.

The large, deep green bomber jacket fell off her shoulders, a thin crop top complementing her body as she also wore some shorts with some high sneakers.

Just how she always dressed, out of school and her family's eye.

Shoving a couple of candies into her pocket, the ones she just got from the convenience store, she grabbed one and started unfolding the wrapper while walking further into the pitch black street.

Lamp lights flickering over her head, she struggled to open the wrapper in the dimed out alley way.

"Come on"
She quitely muttered under her breath while roughly stretching out the wrappers material.

Unfortunately, luck wasn't on Saewoo's side.

Her candy dropped off its wrapper by her harsh pulls, landing on the dusty ground and rolling more into the alley way.
As Saewoo's eyes followed her candy while it rolled on the ground, she caught somthing she definitely wasn't supposed to see.

Her candy stopped in its way, right infront of a man holding another man on gunpoint with several others circling the scene.

Her eyes widened, lips apart as she watched the brutality happen. The man wasted no time to pull the trigger and kill him off.
But just as the bullet went off, A loud, startling gasp left her mouth. She had never heard a gun shot, not even seen anything like this before.

She was terrified.

All the men who stood around the now dead body, rapidly turned their head towards the sound.
Saewoo slowly backed away and knowing they weren't happy with her presence, she ran off.

"Fuck, Go get her!"

Saewoo ran with the men running after her, her sneakers slapping agaisnt the tiny puddles that were formed by the sunny showers the other day.

Her breath already unstable, chest pounding in fear while her feet threatened to give up, she still ran.

Suddenly, she felt a strong grip on her wrist, forcefully turning her around and slamming his hands on her mouth and preventing her to make any noise.

Saewoo tried kicking or any form of action that would get her out of the situation, but sadly nothing worked as they dragged her back to the alley way.

As Saewoo's wrist were being held by the man and a cloth now harshly implaced in her mouth to restrict her from calling for help, She watched the man who had murdered another person earlier, talk over his phone.

"B-Boss, we have a problem.
There's a....witness, she-"

The man slightly moved his phone away from his ear as his 'boss' screamed into the phone, outraged.

"Yes...Yes w-we will."
He cut the phone glared at the other men, then at Saewoo who didn't hesitate to glare back.

"Boss wants her dead, but we have to take her to him first." The others nodded at his words.

Panick arose in Saewoo. Her heart clenched, She gulped.

--

Saewoo walked with her wrists tied up with ropes, two men walking by her, left and right.

Her eyes scanned the whole place.
The polished macaroon cream flooring, Giant glass chandeliers shining from above.

The place definitely seemed as if an expensive company.

The gaurds came to stop infront of a tall, oak brown gate-door. The two side attached to each other, closed.

A wild though ran through Saewoo's head. Such a cruel act done by people who owned such an elegant and clean place?

While the girl was in deep thought, The gaurds reached for the knob and pushed opened the door.

The doors slid apart from each other revealing the office inside as they walked in, the soft, familiar smell of fresh lilies filled her nostrils.
Way too familiar.

The man who stood by his table, his white dress shirt all messed up with his sleeves wrinkled up to his elbows as his tie hung lose.
The already stressed eyes of his widened when they fell on the girl.

"Saewoo?"
"Taewon?"
