Athiee glanced at the blood coming out from her finger, then cleaned it. She heard some noise coming from the house so she decided to go and join them.
Arriving at the living room, she found all of them playing together, looking very happy. Athiee watched Woonjunk and Mura smiling widely, and felt at ease. At least, they were happy. Her phone buzzed, as she received a message. It was from Zack, telling her to get some early sleeping in order to be ready for work that's waiting for her. She replied to him then watched the happy people in front of her a bit more.

Just when they finished the first round, she stepped closer.

« Hyorine why didn't you join us ? » jisung said and she replied

« Actually i have to leave first, i have many things waiting for me tomorrow so i have to go »

« What ?! Leaving already ? » Woonjunk said complaining. She hugged him and said

« I promise that i'll visit again, very soon »

« That's a promise »

« Yes, it is »
She looked at Mura and hugged her. When breaking the hug, Mura asked her with a sad face

« Do you really have to leave ? »

« I have to.You know, big life, big responsibilities » Mura frowned sadly, and Athiee hugged her again. She took her things and went out, walking toward her car. before getting in, she looked at the night sky. It was a beautiful night, not worth wasting. So she placed the keys in her pocket, and started walking.

"Let's walk around since i have the opportunity" she thought to herself, and walked peacefully.

Minho went out with fast steps, and stood before her car. "The car is still here" he said and looked around, and saw her a bit far, walking.
« What she's up to ? » he thought to himself, then started walking.

Athiee walked around, taking her full time to look at night life she missed. Although it was night, but the streets were lively. A bunch of high school girls passed by her, and she gazed at them. She sighed when remembering her old self, in their age.

« Ouh unbelievable ! Did you see that girl »
« She's so beautiful »
« Is she a celebrity ? »

The girls noticed her and started hyping for her. She glanced at them and they screamed making her smile at their silly reaction. Minho walked past them, and witnessed them fangirling over her.

« Tsk, are they serious ? Don't they know that people are more than just looks.... If only they knew her true self.... What a shame » he said and continued walking.
Not far away, Athiee stood before a crossroads, waiting for the green light to continue her walk. It was all peaceful, until someone interrupted that peace for her.

« I see you are here » Minho said while standing next to her. She was surprised, but quickly played it cool.

« What ? Is stalking people your hobby ? » she said without looking at him. He smirked and said

« I save my stalking skills for the ones who deserve it »

« And what do you call following me around mister Lee know ? » She said and he laughed. Minho stepped closer, leaning toward her face. She gazed at him and he slowly lifted his arm, pointing at somewhere

« I'm here to take my motorcycle. Don't get your hopes up » she glared at him and he smirked. People were looking at them, with admiration.

« Woah are they a couple ? »
« They look great together »

Athiee switched her glares to the people who said that and they immediately apologized. She sighed and looked at where Minho pointed.

« Who parkes their bike here and walk all the way to jisung's house ? »
