Haerin's POV
"Can't you confront her..? You can't always endure this kind of..." Hyein's voice lingered with disquiet as she looked at my wrist. We were currently sitting on the couch in the living room.
"It's fine. We just had a bit of misunderstanding this morning." I tried to cover it up with a smile, failing miserably.
Hyein knows me. She could see right through me, but I'm glad she doesn't meddle in our situation. I can tell she wants to, but is too scared to say anything.
Who am I kidding? We both know we're scared of her.
Danielle, she is like a shadow, always creeping up behind you and filling you with a sense of foreboding and dread. I would be lying if I said I wouldn't be disturbed by her... Behaviour.
But I know for a fact that I can't hate her. I won't hate her.
"There you go again. That excuse." Hyein said in a low tone. We've been here before, her trying to make me see the issue, and me who's always playing blind.
Even when I was still dating Jihoo, she was the only one that knew everything. I would go to their house secretly and cry on her shoulder, which she didn't seem to mind. She was the reason I broke up with him, she slapped me with some senses and I couldn't be more greatful for that.
"Trust me on this one, Hyein." I gave her a reassuring smile. "I know Danielle."
"Do you?" She asked, looking at me with an unreadable expression.
I couldn't answer. I wanted to say yes, but...Even I don't know if I'm lying to myself.
"Do you even notice how Danielle stare at you?"
"Hyein-"
"Haerin listen to me." She grabbed my hands, palms slightly sweaty. I looked at her with dilemma.
"Every time we're in the same room, her eyes would instantly fall on you, watching and studying you intently as if you were the only thing that existed in the world." She took a deep breath before continuing. "If your relationship with her is platonic just like you said, then how would you explain the thing I saw earlier?"
"You know the story Hyein. It's her coping-"
"Bullshit." I was surprised how Hyein was so determined to crack me up with some senses.
Before I could even reply, a hand fell on my shoulder. "Rei is looking for you."
When I looked at her, I feel like I'm under a spotlight, exposed and vulnerable under the intensity of her scrutiny.
"Did she say why?"
Danielle averted her eyes and looked at Hyein. Her expression was like a blank canvas, void of any emotion or meaning...But I can't help but feel a sense of dread.
I looked back at Hyein who was now looking down, biting her lips.
"Could you tell her, I'll be right there?" I placed my hand on top of hers, pleading.
"She's in haste."
I look back at Hyein and sighed. "I'll be right back, okay?" I whispered to her before standing up and leaving the two.
As I took my step outside the porch, I saw Rei and Liz already talking to someone. A middle aged man. Delicated eyes, soft smile. I know him. He was the opposite of his son, after all.
"Haerin..."

The air was thick with tension, and there was an uncomfortable silence that hung in the room like a heavy cloud. Danielle took a sit next to Hyein, which causes the other girl to feel agitated.
"The bruise on Haerin's wrist..." Danielle started. "Did she told you anything about it?"
"No."
Silence.
"I didn't mean to hurt her."
"Why are you telling me this?"
Danielle's jaw slightly clenched as she forged a smile. That didn't go unnoticed by Hyein.
"Because I know you're her friend and you're worried about her." She looked at Hyein and held her hands. Hyein tensed, but doesn't pull away. "I'll apologize to her... And I need your help."
They continued to make eye contact.
One, veiling her turmoils, the other one, veiling her spiteful thoughts.

She is like a bird, tethered to me by an invisible cord
I watch her fly, yet she can never leave my side
I wrap the cord around my finger, secure and tight
And I will never let it loosen, or risk losing my prize
She can run and dance, but she will always return to me
For I possess her, and she is bound to me eternally.
