Ch. 7

Rei:"Where is he?..."
Rei was losing it. She just lost her twin. She can't sense his presence around here. Where'd he disappear to??
Sae put his hand on her shoulder.
Sae:"Rei calm down. We can find him."
Their mom was obviously the most worried abt her little boi rin. He's technically the youngest in the family. He's smol, he's innocent, he's only like in elementary school, and he just got lost. Now he's probably alone and he might get kidnapped or something.

Rei and sae went back to the sports area along with their mom to see if rin returned there.
Rei and sae looked around every corner every area. No sign of rin.
No matter how much they revisited all the areas they've went to, rin wasnt there at all.

(lol rin passed by them btw but he didn't see them)

Rei started trembling. Tears were falling down. They're not finding him at all. What is she gonna do if rin disappears forever?
Rei:"Mama... Sae-nii... What if something happened to rin??"
Sae noticed that his mother was trying her best to stay composed but if she starts trying to speak to rei she might just end up crying with her instead. So he went to his sister and pinched her cheeks.
Sae:"U idiot. If u don't calm down then u won't be able to find him. Stop crying. Do u want rin to see ur ugly crying face when we find him?"
She frowned at sae and pouted.
Rei:"Shut up..."
Even though she knows he's right no matter how much she tried to stop herself from crying, she couldn't help it. At least her eyes stopped looking dull like they gave up or something. Her brother was really knocking some sense into her.

...
(lol rin is dead)
(I'm jk ofc don't kill me)

...
Rin on the other hand was panicking. He lost his way while walking to his mom. The place was getting more crowded. He couldn't see anything from all the ppl. Even when he tried following the signs he couldn't navigate his way back. It's not even a guarantee that his family is there. What if they left him? Have they not noticed his disappearance??

Its like he felt a wave of sadness that brought him to tears. He didn't know where he was. He can't find the exit. He can't see anything from all the tall people in front of him. How is he supposed to find his way??
Rin:"Rei...mama..nii-chan..."
He was sobbing as he was whispering to himself. That was until he felt a hand on his shoulder that caught him off guard.
"Kid.. Are u lost?"
Rin had his eyes brightened up thinking maybe it was his mom or brother or sister. But it was a strange man with a strange look in his eyes.

(I hope all of u know where I'm going with this 😘)

Rin wasn't sure abt whether he's a good or a bad stranger. But maybe he'd help him find his family? Who knows tbh he was just really desperate at that point.
Rin:"Yes... Can u help me find my family please?"
...
The stranger grinned and then rin felt goosebumps. So this is the meaning of a bad stranger.. What great luck he has...
...
Rin tried moving back away from the man but accidentally tripped and fell. The strange man covered rin's mouth stopping him from attempting to scream. All the ppl around him were busy with themselves. No one noticed rin trying to resist the man's grip.
Rin had never felt such fear in his life. The fear that his life could end at any moment now...

"Now come with me like a good little boy... Wait wth was that?"
He felt a kick that made him wince in pain.
Then another that made him let go of rin. Right after that rin then felt a hand grabbing him then running away with him as far away as possible from the creepy man who tried to chase them down.

Rin felt relieved. So much relieved but... He didn't know who this other kid who saved him is?
He had light blue hair. Blue eyes.

(and no this is not Isagi)

After running very far away and making sure the man wasn't behind them anymore, the blue haired boy started speaking.
? :"Don't just talk to any stranger especially when they look that suspicious.."
Rin blinked like twice through his wet tears then scratched his head.
Rin:"Yeah.. Ur right. Thank u for helping me uh?"
? :"Its hiori. Hiori yo."
