It's not easy to pick sides. Everyone has secrets, secrets they want hidden and buried. What extent would you go to hide your secrets? How far would you go for self preservation?
Like father, like daughter.

You all walked out of there together. You were trying to help the convenience store guy get Daniel out of there, and the others were walking ahead of you two.
It was cold at this time of night, and you wished you had brought heavier clothes.
"What was your name again?"
"I'm Daniel.."
You looked shocked and slowed down some.
"You two have the same name. Are you related?"
"No."
He was avoiding looking at you in the eyes as he was sweating from exhaustion.
You looked around the area and took out your phone. It was very late.
"I'm gonna split off here, alright?"
Daniel nodded at you.
"Aren't you going to let the others know?"
"Nah, they'll understand. I've gotta get home."
The two of you waved goodbye, and you set off by yourself. The path was ominous, with there only being a handful of street lights every once in a while.
You were on your phone while walking and didn't really care enough to be bothered with being scared right now.
But that didn't stop the little jump you had when you felt a presence up ahead of you. So you got closer to get a better look.
"Who the fu.."
You zoomed in on a guy and girl walking out of an expensive business.
Black hair, tacky suit, and the whites of his eyes are dark.
He's the one I'm supposed to stay away from...
And you then focused on the girl beside him, tall, long brown hair, and slender figure.
And she's the one I saw that other time..
Oh shit-!
You quickly hid yourself much better than before and put your guard up in case one of them did see you.
That's Mr. Choi's kid.
With that, you made your way out of there fast.
I could've been in big trouble..
The rest of the way home, you were constantly looking over your shoulder and had completely thrown out the nonchalant attitude you originally had.

"Why are you here??"
Zack was staring you down.
"Mira called me to come."
Zack was dressed well and leaning against the wall, the same one you were against just a couple feet away from him.
"You guys are here early."
Mira walked up to you two with a pink jacket over her school uniform and her bag on her back.
"Zack, you changed clothes?"
Zack was nervous and tried to change the way he was standing to look cooler.
"These are more comfortable, hehe.."
You side eyed him and scoffed.
"They don't look comfortable."
He glared at you.
Mira grabbed both of your arms and pulled the two of you with her with a smile on her face.
"Let's head in!"
Zack was willing to pay for him and Mira until Mira made him pay for you, too, even though you said you had money.

You were laughing to yourself while scrolling through the pages of your textbook.
"[Y/n], what's so funny?"
"Nothing.."
He didn't know this library was gender separated pftt-
Mira and you have been helping each other with your worst subjects and finishing up late assignments.
"I wonder how Zacks is doing.."
Probably nothing at all.
You were waiting for Mira to finish up her last page and trying to ignore the buzzing coming from your phone.
One look at the caller ID, and you already felt like smashing it.
"Do you have somewhere else you need to be?"
You smiled at her, then stretched.
"No, not at all."
You picked up your phone and put it on silent.
"Mira, you hungry? How about a break."
She closed her book and put it in her bag.
"Yeah, sure!"
