-???
today

She seemed so quiet and peacful, my heart started aching just by the mere sight of her fragile and feminine figure underneath the blanket, where she was silently in- and exhaling, not minding that four men stood around her bed.

The last months were so tough for her, she went through so much trouble, although she told me at our first encounter that she never did anything wrong.

"We shouldn't have brought her with us", I broke the silence and brought all for of us back into reality. "It's too dangerous. She doesn't know what she will be facing in the future!"

Changkyun, chuckled next to me, his smile showing no empathy. "It's her own fault", his deep voice echoed through the room, seemingly shaking the others awake, who were also mesmerized into their very own thoughts.

My gaze trailed back to the girl in the bed. She looked so beautiful, like a queen with her white skin and cherry red lips and her hazel orbs, which were hidden behind her closed eyes.

"She was at the wrong place to the wrong time", I breathed out quietly, before turning to Shownu, who sat on a chair next to the bed.

He has been through this once before, he knew what to do, now that we escaped jail. However, our leader was just silently brushing his fingers along her hair, carefully putting it behind her ear so she won't wake up through the tickling of her own hair at her nose.

"Kihyun?", he asked with a strong voice, which made the small men next to me shiver.

"Yes, Shownu?", he breathed out quietly, giving me a last gaze of insurance, before stepping forwards next to the leader.

"She will live with you, Kihyun", Shownu sighed, as I felt my heart crack into pieces on the left side of my chest.

"You act wisely and make correct decisions", he went on, glancing at Changkyun a few times, anger in his usually calm eyes. "Take care of her. Train her! Make sure that she can cope with everything that the world is offering her and keep me updated about it-!"

"Why can't she come with me?", I interrupted the leader.

"Why, Minhyuk?", he huffed, letting go of the girls hair and turning to me now. "You know exactly what you did!" He pointed at her.

I quietly gulped and stepped back, hiding in the shadows of this narrow room, as I watched the other three men talk about her.

"Shownu...", Kihyun tried to calm the tall man, but was just pushed back, by the attempt to reach out for his shoulder.

Shownu glanced angrily at the smaller, but Changkyun interrupted their argument, when Kihyun also asked why the youngest can't take care of her.

"Me? I don't want her with me", he said confidently, as if the last months never happened. "You can fight about her, but I'm glad to not have her come with me."

And with those words he bowed his head at all of us and left through the door, which he never came back through.

Quietly we looked at each other, wondering why Changkyun was behaving like this, but we didn't mind anymore when finally everyone agreed on a solution.

She will live with Kihyun.

He had always been one of Shownu's best friends, they have a long past together and after what happened, I knew he wouldn't allow me to look for her, but there was still a bad feeling making it's way through my stomach and chest.

Her dark future - it was all my fault.
