The next days, were uneventful in consideration of the last week. Ronny went to uni just like everyday, but Tadashi and Kei saw that she wasn't herself anymore, she didn't laugh much, didn't play with Haru like she used to. 

Her world was falling apart, she didn't sleep at all, her whole body was burning and her soul was screaming at her to just go up to them in the uni and throw herself into their arms. But she knew she messed up, if she had just kept quiet, she would now be making dinner with Minho, or Jisung would be braiding her hair. Or Changbin would sit with Felix in a corner and the two of them would make little braids with Ronnys help.

She didn't want to admit it, but she missed them. A lot. Tadashi and Kei didn't know what to do, so they called an old friend that could help her. They knew his arrival would help her, he would wake her up and everything will be okay again. Well, that's what they thought...

Kei wasn't as naive as his soulmate, he knew that Ronny wouldn't be herself unless she was with them again, he would make sure that the girl who deserved so much more than she had would be happy in her life.

The next day, it was settled. He would come tonight and Kei would pick him up from the airport and his soulmate would join them a week later. I think you guys already know who I'm talking about, right?

little timeskip, cuz I'm a little lazy rn

It was late at night, when Kei said he would go out for a little walk, and when Ronny didn't ask him why (since he hates going out), he knew that it was time for him to go and pick the mysterious person up.

Tadashi brought Haru to bed hours ago, now he sat on his couch buried in a blank watching a cookery show about a strawberry shortcakes. Ronny sat beside him, drawing something. It was raining outside and the dim light of the TV made the room a little cozier.

When they heard the key in the lock, Kei wasn't alone. He was carrying a suitcase. And behind him, Kenma. The tiny boy flung himself in Ronnys arms, Ronny didn't even release who he was until she realized.

"Kenma" she whispered, over and over again.

"I'm here, I'm here, raito." (raito is a japanese word for 'my light', or someone who brings light to ur life)

Kenma POV

What happened to her? They will pay for this! I haven't seen her like this, since Gale died. She lost so much weight?! That's not healthy anymore...She looks like me in highschool. When Tetsu arrives he will stuff her with food. 

"Sleep is for the weak" I mumbled.

"What?" she asked me confused.

"You look like you had zero sleep the last nights"

"That could be true. I am happy that you are here now, where is Tetsu?"

"He will join us next week"

"Will he bring your daughter?"

"Hina? Yes! What do you say? Wanna go to your room and you tell me everything?"

"Didn't Dashi and Kei already tell you?"

"They did, but I wanna hear it from you" I told her.

She nodded slowly and picked up her sketch book, grabbing my hand and disappearing with me into her temporary bedroom. 

Author POV

Ronny had to take a lot of breaks telling Kenma what happened, sometimes her voice would just break and she would have to cry for a few minutes until she pulled herself together.

Now she was lying in Kenmas lap, slightly sobbing in his sweatpants and slowly falling asleep for the first time in days. He looked down at her fragile form, even though she was sleeping her body shook from her sobs.

He was gently braiding her hair into a long braid and then placing it over her shoulders, just like she taught him in high school. It was one of the best memory the two shared, but those happy times felt as if they were ages ago. 

One thing she said was stuck in his mind...

"You know, sometimes I just want to be little again, everything was so easy. No worries, not having to thinking about money, death, loneliness. I didn't look at myself in the mirror and say how ugly or fat I am, I would just smile at myself and then play, I want that".

It was so deep and at the same time so relatable, when Kei called him, he wasn't expecting this. He thought she was a little sad and Kei was overreacting, but when he saw her, he was caught off guard. 

He had recognized the look in her eyes, the not well hidden sadness, the crying marks on her eyes, the bags under her eyes, the paleness. It was the same when Gale died, at first she went through denial and put a plate for him on the table, for months.

Then followed the realization, locking herself up in her room, crying all day and looking at photos, not eating nor sleeping. Then the blame phase, she said that she could have prevented it and maybe he would be alive and at the end, Revenge.

She wanted revenge, she found out who it was, where they lived, what they do and when they would go out. She knew about their families, hell, she even went to their old headquarters and stole information about their alliances.

Kenma wondered what would happen next, he told her that tomorrow, he would go with her since Tadashi had to take Haru to the doctors for a checkup. He would watch their every step and make sure they were just as sad as she was.

When Tadashi wanted to wake them up in the morning, he found them cuddled up in each others arms and slowly closed the door again. It was half past 8 in the morning when they woke up, slowly processing what happened and then getting up for her lesson at 9:30am.

"So, how does this university work?"

"Ok, so first I have arts lesson"

"With?"

"My professor?!"

"You know, what I'm talking about Ronny"

"Hyunjin"

"The hot and pretty one?"

"All of them are..."

"Oh, was it the one with the brush?"she nodded slowly, smiling softly at him.

"Then I have my sewing lesson and then we have lunch. After lunch we go to the library and revise our notes and then go home"

(i have absolutely no idea of universities and colleges)

"Sounds good, so when do we see them?"

"At lunch and sometimes in the library, so not much."

"Sometimes in the bus, but the eldest three don't go to university anymore"

little timeskip

The two of them slowly made their way over the campus, hand in hand and buried in their scarfs and hats. When they entered the room and sat down in Ronnys usual place, a few rows behind Hyunjin, who until now didn't noticed them. Not until Ronny started talking to Kenma.

He slowly turned his head, as if he was looking for something but Kenma saw him looking over to them or more Ronny. When Kenma laid his eyes on him, he was sure that this boy was whipped for her.

"He is whipped" he whispered to her and pretended taking notes while drawing stick figures who play volleyball, naming them after his teammates. This would be a long day he thought...
