"you have my number right?" jaehyun questioned looking down at me with one eyebrow slightly lifted. "yeah." i responded wanting to rush out of the house already.

"cool, let me know if you aren't feeling like yourself later, kay?" jaehyun mumbled with a soft smile placed on his lips, dimples beaming at me. "im going now" i nodded, backing away with every word i spoke. "remember, don't tell anyone. not even eunji!" jaehyun told with a stern tone as nabi agreed. "i won't."

a sigh escaped my lips as i entered the front door to my apartment, greeted with the scent  of freshly cooked food. "you made it. where have you been?"

"out." i muttered looking down at the food that was placed on top of the table, throwing my bags down on the floor. "you don't have to cook for me mr.choi" i mentioned shortly thanking him after as i began to dig in. "your dad sent me here to watch over you, you look rather skinny.." he mumbled lowly though i ignored him. although he looked and acted nice i wasn't too sure about him, he worked for my dad after all.

did i express my hatred for my dad yet? that selfish stingy fucker never cared and never will. yet another sigh left my lips just thinking of that man who was supposed be there for me. who was supposed to raise me."thanks for the food. you can leave now" i gestured to the door "anything you want to tell me?" my eyebrow lifted, why was he acting like he cared. "no i'm fine, thank you."

he nodded and walked away to the front door "call me if you need me!" i scoffed as soon as he left through that door liar. i walked over to my bathroom where i found myself in the reflection of the mirror. a frown grew on my lips noticing how pale i had gotten.. maybe living in new york was better. at least i had jeno. i slipped off my clothes and let the warm water hit my skin.

me and jeno were always close just like me and my mom. jeno, my younger brother, had always been someone who i dearly cared about. not only because i often worried about him, but because he was always outside. lately i've been giving up on people, you can really trust no one but jeno was genuine. he was sweet, funny, and understanding. there was times where jeno definitely watched out for me and i owe him.

next morning i continued to school, not telling eunji anything about taeyong and his friends being in a gang. "mr choi wanted me back at the apartment.. sorry i didn't tell you guys beforehand it was apparently urgent" i lied. eun nodded like she didn't have a clue"you had us scared i thought something happened, you weren't picking up your phone" she explained as we headed into our first class. i felt guilty lying to her but i knew this was for the best.

we chose our seats near the large window once again, the early morning sunlight shined on us which hurt my eyes. no clouds were seen in the sky. i turned my head and was met with another pair of eyes. i jumped looking at the male with wide eyes "you scared me!" i exclaimed hitting yutas shoulder as him and eunji laughed. "i didn't know you were in this class too"

"im not, i'm just stopping by" yuta shrugged as he stood up from his seat and went in front of the desk "but nabi, can we talk later?" i glanced over at eunji as she shrugged not knowing what he was wanting to talk about either "sure. text me?"

soon enough the professor walked in quickly spotting yuta and gesturing him to leave. class ended rather quickly, at least it felt like it. my phone lit up causing me to glance at the notification 'i'm parked in front of the fountain outside' i placed my phone back in my pocket and headed out the back doors where the fountain was.

yutas black mat benz was parked right in front of the fountain like he said. i walked to the door and opened it "so what's up nakamoto?" i asked, putting the seatbelt over my chest. "have you eaten? we can stop by a place if you want"

my eyebrows furrowed at the question finding it weird. "sure... let's go out for some." i paused thinking of a place where we can both enjoy food. "do you like pho?" he asked, starting up his car once more.

i nodded back as he hummed. after a couple minutes in the car he pulled into a small yet nicely decorated spot. yuta looked down at my expression once we exited the car, "this is my friends relatives shop, they give me discounts and the food is good" he explained which i found pretty cool. we walked in the restaurant quickly being placed at a table.

"so what's up?" this whole taking me out for lunch is very random since me an yuta only talk with eunji. yuta but his lip hesitantly, "it's about eun." my right brow quirked up as i leaned in.

he continued, "eunji doesn't know about.. you know. and she shouldn't. i've been keeping this secret since i've met her.. if she found out.. i know she'll view me a different way." the waiter walked up to our table at that moment asking for our orders. a sad smile on yutas face as he ordered only made me feel guilty for even finding out.

after the waiter left yuta looked back at me "why don't you tell her? she's your best friend after all." i asked. "she'll hate me, knowing i kill people eunji has a sweet heart... i can't tell her." although i felt like eunji would understand not all people react the same.

"please nabi, don't tell her?" i nodded. "i won't." almost like a movie scene our food was placed on the table in front of us, cutting yuta short. "let's eat! this is the best pho you'll ever eat"

you could seen the pain and stress on yutas face but he still try his best to hide it.
