“What are you talking about, Danny?” I asked in low tone.

“It's true, sis! You better watch over yourself! You aren't even safe with—”

“Danny, stop!” I exclaimed in a higher tone.
Danny flinched.
His eyes reflects of how scared he is.

“Please, Danny. . If you want to get out from that asylum, at least act like a normal person.” I pleads.

Danny eyes shunned in disappointment and betrayal.

“You don't believe me. .” He whispered out loud.
His lips pulled into frown as he lowered his gaze.

He plopped onto the grass and hugged his knees.

“Danny . .”

“But I'm stating the truth, sis! You must believe me. Your life is in danger because of that necklace.” Danny said.

“Then what should I do?” I replied as I decided to just plays along with him.

It make him silent.

I pulled off my shoes and take off the socks.
I kneeled in front of Danny and put the socks to his feet.

“Are you sure your socks isn't smelly?” Danny asked, out of blue.

“That's interesting from someone who might now showered for a long time.” I chuckled followed by Danny's real laugh.

Suddenly, we heard rustling noises.
We turned our head and saw a very awkward looking Baekhyun.

He rubbed his nape and smile awkwardly.

“What are you doing here?” I asked in sharp tone.

“Is that your brother?” Baekhyun ignored me.

“Is it matter to you?” I scoffed.

“Solid.” He answered and I stared at him in disbelief.

“Go away, Baekhyun. I don't need your puns!” I growled.
Danny watched us in discomfort.
He inched towards me and hide behind me.

“So what is your name?” Baekhyun asked.
I was about to stop him because Baekhyun might spread the rumours about this but being an obedient child, Danny answered without hesitation.

“Danny Wu.” He answered in a small voice.

“Well, Danny. No one could take the necklace as long as she wears it.” Baekhyun said to Danny.

Danny's gaze immediately shifted to Baekhyun.

“Y-you're one of t-them?” Danny stuttered.
His trembling fingers clutched onto my shirt tightly.

Baekhyun chuckled and flashed a smile.
A double meaning smile.
Whether he meant it in a good or bad way, I couldn't be so sure of why.

Danny grew restless. Cold sweat formed on his forehead.
His fingertips turned cold.

Baekhyun watched Danny with a smile before his gaze shifted to me.

He winked flirtatiously and my face scrunched in disgust.

As Baekhyun watched Danny again, I gulped as I tried to hide Danny from Baekhyun's sight.

No one suppose to know about Danny's whereabouts.
It might created lots of rumours and Dad will be furious about it.
