lee know pov

I'm standing right in front of my old house, flooded with memories. I can't help but miss it, especially the moments when my family and I would have a great time together. I remember how my mom's face would light up with happiness as she watched me play with cats. Sadly, my dad left us when I was just a kid, and he passed away. I never had the chance to share my school experiences with him. But then, that one day, when I came back from school, everything changed. It was a turning point in my life.

I remember the day I entered the house , I saw my mom laying lifelessly in the kitchen . Blood soaked her mom's body . I rushed at my mom's body , she's still slowly breathing .

' mom .. wait imma call the ambulance '

he was about to call the ambulance that day , that's when someone knocked him out .

...

minho cautiously entered the house , noticing the police tape wrapped around it . He switched on the lamp , hoping there's an electric . Unfortunately , its not . He turned on his phone flashlight .

He went to the place where the accident happened a year ago . There's nothing he can find the evidence . Everything police already took it . He sighed . Suddenly , his eyes saw something sparkling underneath the fridge . Without hesitation , he bend down and grabbed it . It's a silver pendrive .

' what are you doing here ? '
A sudden voice caught him off guard but still , he manage to stay calm . He slowly put that pendrive inside his pocket .
' nothing , just missing the old memories . '
That guy chuckle .

' i feel you , hyung . So , where did you go these day ? Boss , are looking for you . '

' hiding obviously . You know its hard to run away from police . ' minho sighed .

' Now , that you're here . So , lets go . '

Minho just nodded and followed hyunjin .

Areum woke up and realized her throat was dry. She quickly grabbed a water bottle which is on the nightstand . Once she opened the lid , she noticed there's no water in it . She sighed . Too lazy to move from bed . At the end , she stand up and made her way towards the kitchen .

Out of sudden , she heard something fall from the kitchen . She flinched .

Who's here at this hour ? I dont think it was minho . Could it be the cat from neighborhood ?

She yelped when she saw a figure standing near the back door . That person turned around . She sighed in relief knowing that person is minho .

' what are you doing at this hour ? ' she asked . ' no , actually what are you doing at this hour ? ' he asked back .
' damn minho . I just wanted to grab a glass of water . Where did you come from ? '
She asked as she staring at him from head to toe . ' were you doing - '

' what ? No . I just wanted to take a fresh air since I cant sleep '
She put down her glass that she drank earlier and walked towards him . She didnt know where did her confidence came from .

' are you sure , mr. lee minho ? '
he look into her eyes but then he look away . He swear he couldnt stare at her for too long, cause that was made him shy .
' you really dont trust me , areum ? '
she laugh a little and cupped his cheeks , made him look at her .
' are you flustered , minho ? '
She lean in a little , he could feel her breath fanning at his lips . His eyes look down at her lips , then he stare her eyes back .

' areum '
she hummed in response , eyes meeting his.

' kiss me '

' wha-'
he took her breath by capturing her lips . It does caught her off guard , she didnt move . He wrapped his arm around her waist , pulling closer. He nibble her bottom lips , telling her to kiss him back . She did . His right hand slowly , grab her neck , deepen the kiss . She wrapped her arm around his neck . She didnt know why but she felt right to kiss him . With his soft lips attached hers , giving her a thousand butterfly in her stomach . She parted her lips as she felt him pressed her body towards him . She could felt his harden chest touching hers . He took that chance by shoving his tongue inside her mouth , exploring .

They broke the kiss . Both lips swollen due of made out so sudden . Before he could say anything , she left to her bedroom and locked it .

wth , was that ? Did we just made out ? Gosh , how can I faced him tomorrow ? I might be crazy

' areum ? '
' oh , felix . Im sorry , what do you want to order ? yeah right I forgot your daily meal . Sorry '
felix chuckled , seeing her clueless face .
' are you okay ? you seem like you didnt have enough sleep ? '
he asked as he gave her , the cash .
' yeah , im okay . Its just something bothering my mind . '
' mind telling me ? '
' its okay . Its not that important actually '
' oh alright. '

felix just turned around yet someone greet him once that person entered the cafe . Felix knitted his eyebrow in confusion .
' lix , they were my friends . That person who called out your name earlier is changbin . They wanted to be friends with you too . '
' oh really ? Its great to hear that actually '
' it is . '

'See you tomorrow, Areum-ah!' said the worker as she packed up and left once Areum closed the shop. Areum wave back at her . Then , she turned around to lock the shop. She rummaged through her bag, searching for her keys, but couldn't find them.

eh , where did it go ?

She tried to search again .Out of nowhere, the sound of a raging storm pierced the air, causing her to flinch in fear. Instantly, a panic attack overwhelmed her, making it difficult to breathe. She fell on her butt, startled by the sudden noise. After a moment, she gathered herself and tried to calm her racing heartbeat. However, she couldn't seem to regain control. She closed her eyes, attempting to take a deep breath, but the sound persisted, and the rain began to pour. She covered her ears, tears streaming down her face. Unfortunately, there was no one around to help her.

someone help me , please .

As she struggled to cope with her panic attack, she suddenly felt someone's arm wrapped around her . That warm embrace does helped her to calm down , she somehow felt the comfort. That person patted her back slowly . Not long after, she gently broke the hug and looked at the person. To her surprise, it was Felix, and he had a worried expression on his face.

' are you okay , now ? '

she nodded .
