THE tears of fright and confusion continued to stroll down Sora's cheeks as she ran under the dark sky. Her fingers were still firmly interlocked with Sunghoon's as he lead her down a unlit alleyway.

The boy eventually came to a stop and he turned around to face the Choi girl who looked distraught.

"Sunghoon..." She began with a mumble as she looked up at him, trying to find words.

Sunghoon's face softened and he slowly inched closer to, but seeing her take a step away from him caused a wave of anguish to flow through him.

"What the hell just happened?" Sora questioned, looking down at the floor, too afraid to hold — or even make eye contact with the boy.

"It's a lot to explain." He stated just above a whisper. "And it was a lot to witness. I'll explain one day —"

"Sunghoon, tell me now." She demanded, finally looking into his eyes. "You have to. I have no idea what's going on." Sora weeped.

"Dohee was just having a bad day." The Park boy replied and Sora scoffed and shook her head.

"I've seen Dohee on her best days and I've seen her on her worst, and she has never acted so... animalistic." She said in an addled tone as her eyebrows creased.

"Let me take you home." Sunghoon advised and Sora went to protest but the boy was already dragging her along with him.

Once the two finally arrived at her dorm, and Sora unlocked her door, she turned around to face Sunghoon who remained outside of her room.

"Sora," he breathed out. "Please don't tell anyone about what you saw today. You can't." Sunghoon shook his head and his eyes trailed down to the necklace that was filled with vervain. He had no way of compelling her into forgetting everything that happened today.

A nod silently came from Sora in reply and Sunghoon sighed before beginning to walk away, but came to an abrupt halt and turned back around.

"Also, don't allow anyone in."

"What?"

"If anyone asks to come in, don't let them." He repeated with a warning tone and Sora hesitantly nodded, before Sunghoon muttered a 'Goodnight' under his breath and left the complex.

Sora was quick to shut the door behind him and walk into her bathroom. She turned the shower on and let the water run until it was hot enough.

The Choi girl slowly started to remove her clothes, wincing as she raised her arms. The bruises from Dohee's right grip were starting to form as a deep shade of purple began appearing in her collarbones and the red marks on her arms that were soon to turn out just like the other marks on her body.

She kissed her teeth in pain and crept forward to take a closer look at herself in the large mirror. There was a small scratch on the side of her cheek that was deep — but not deep enough to draw. It seemed that Dohee had taken a small chunk of her skin due to her sharp nails.

A shaky sigh escaped Sora's lips as she stood up straight and wiped away the tear that had unwilling slipped from her eye, afore getting into the hot shower.
