Love is Stronger than Blood (Snowdrop Oneshots)

13- don't do it

Sequel to the last oneshot. Angst. Warning for suicidal themes.

Also lowkey mad that when Sooho called Kangmu "hyung" Disney just put "Kangmu" in the captions instead of "brother". I had to look on YT to see when he said it. Also lowkey mad at myself that I didn't notice it the first time around.

Video above if you also missed it.

Thirty minutes after they left Lim Sooho's grave, Jang Hanna and Lee Kangmu arrived at Hosu Women's University and parked in front of the dormitory.

"You know," Hanna said as they walked up the steps. "My father wanted to send me here when I was younger."

"He did?" Kangmu asked. "Why?"

"I don't know whether it was because of the flawless reputation or the strict no-boys-on-campus policy," Hanna said dryly. "Could've been both."

Kangmu only smiled and shook his head as he opened the door for her.

Normally, outsiders weren't allowed in without at least a two weeks' notice, but Ms. Pi had made an exception for Hanna since she visited so often. Hanna would come by almost every day after the election to help clean up the mess made during the hostage situation. Kangmu came by occasionally, but even after everything was back to normal, he wasn't fond of walking the building where he was held hostage and almost killed multiple times. After the repairs were done, Hanna continued to visit often to check on the students, many of whom now struggled with PTSD, anxiety, and paranoia. Hanna was no therapist, but she could sympathize with the girls more than any other non-hostage could. She even taught a few of them some basic self-defense moves and gun safety, no matter how much Ms. Pi disapproved of it.

"Ah, Jang Hanna-ssi," Bunok said from where she sat at the reception desk. "Got another spy to chase?"

Hanna smiled. "Anniyo. Just here to see Yeongro."

Bunok nodded. "Should I tell her to come down to see you?"

"Not just me," Hanna said, pulling Kangmu over so Bunok could see him through the window.

"Lee Kangmu timjangnim," Bunok said. "I don't seem to see you as often as your girlfriend nowadays."

"He's been busy," Hanna defended. "Give him a break."

Bunok shrugged and turned on the loudspeaker. "Room 207. Eun Yeongro. You have a visitor— or should I say, visitors. I repeat. Room 207. Eun Yeongro. You have visitors. Please come down to the lobby."

She turned off the speaker. "She'll be down soon. You two can sit in here until she's down."

Hanna nodded, walking into the little office and pulling out a chair. Kangmu followed suit, sitting down as Bunok went back to her work.

Two minutes passed, and footsteps ran down the stairs. Hanna and Kangmu looked up, but instead of Eun Yeongro, Yeo Jeongmin stood at the door of the office.

"Annyeonghaseyo, Jang Hanna-ssi and Lee Kangmu-nim," Jeongmin said, fixing her crooked glasses. "Yeongro's not in the room. She hasn't been back since she left in the morning."

Hanna frowned. "Do you know where she might be?"

"I don't think she went to the bathroom," Jeongmin said. "Or off-campus."
