Nani was so busy with telling herself to hold back the sobs clawing up her throat.
She bumped into a man, he had light blond hair and blue eyes. He didn't seem... Right...
"Jaesonghabnida..." Nani muttered, too upset to look up.
"Woah, whoah, woah sweet-cheeks." The man said, his voice gruff.
Nani looked up and huffed.
"What?"
The man grabbed Nani's hand. She tugged it away and once again asked, "What?!"
"Thats a little rude..." He said, his lower lip pursed.
"I said I was sorry, what do you need?"
"I just wanna talk..." He said, caressing her cheek.
"I-I have to go..." Nani said, making sure venom laced her lips, also taking his hand and throwing it away from her.
The man took her by the arm, squeezing it tightly making sure Nani would groan in pain.
He threw her against the wall and heald his arms on both of her sides, making sure she couldn't escape.
The man leaned over to Nani, his hands now roughly brushing through her hair. He sniffed her hair and moaned in delight.
Nani grimaced. She tried to dive under his legs which were spread, but he grabbed her long brown hair as she tried sliding through his legs. He held her by her hair. I didn't want to do this...
Nani pulled out the pocket knife given to her by her aunt before she left Korea. She tried swinging the knife at his hand but he slid his hand further up her hair, he was now holing the ends of her hair. Nani knew what she had to do...
The knife cut through her hair fast, and neatly.
She fell to the ground, her knees hitting first.
Not worried about the pain, her adrenaline let her get up. The man was quick though, he grabbed Nani by her neck.
"You little bitch..." The man said grinding his teeth together.
Nani couldn't breath, she scratched at his hands that held her neck, but her scratches showed to no avail.
The man brought out a knife he hid from under his pants and held it close to Nani's neck.
"You have no idea what I am going to do to you." The man hissed.
Nani could see black spots in the corners of her eyes.
"What are you going to do?" A strange, but fimiliar voice said from behind the man.
Nani couldn't see who it was, her vision was nearly gone.
She heard the slam of something against flesh. She was dropped to the ground. She still couldn't see, but her vision was slowly coming back to her. She was too busy choking on her air to see the two men fighting, one with his fists, the other with a knife.
When she fully regained her vision she saw the two men. One was Luca.
"Run!" She heard Luca scream, but she was too paralyzed to even breath.
She coughed out a breath when Luca ran to her and picked Nani up bridal style, and ran. The man still following them.
After a few blocks the man with the knife gave up and ran the opposite way from Nani and Luca.
Luca finally stopped, putting Nani down. Nani fell to her knees.
"Jae-Jaesonghabnida... Jaesonghabnida."
Nani said it over until she was stopped by an, "Hey, it's ok..."
It was Luca, his light blue eyes
Luca slowly helped Nani up, still knowing that she was still a little delecate from the man almost choking her to death and witnessing that fight.
As Nani was helped up her legs wobbled a little bit. She relied on Luca for balance.
She soon got used to walking and could now walk on her own.
She stayed ahead of Luca.
"I can fix that for you..." Luca said breaking the scilence, and also making Nani jump.
"I-It's a little late. I don't want you getting home later than you already will be.
"I live in the same apartments as you." Luca said chuckling.
Nani blushed to her own embarrassment of not knowing this.
"O-oh. Then I would live if you could fix this." She said pointing at her sloppily cut bob.
Nani fumbled with her keys trying to get the door to her apartment open.
When she finally got the door open, she walked in and deopped her bag next to her small loveseat.
Luca imitated her and followed her into the bathroom.
Nani handed him a pair of sissors that she only used for cutting her split ends.
Luca got started.
About 10 minutes into the cutting Nani broke the silence this time.
"How are you so good at this?"
"My father owned a hair shoppe in Italy before we moved. I also have 4 sisters."
Nani's lips formed an O shape.
30 minutes later Luca stepped back and crossed his arms with an satisfyed look on his face.
Nami touched her hair. It was still soft, just shorter. The tips of her bobbed hair curled up due to the fresh hair cut.
Nani's eyes filled with tears.
"Whats wrong? Do you not like the haircut?" Luca whispered.
"N-No, I just promised my eomma that I'd never cut my hair again..." salty crystals were now flowing from her face.
Nani wiped her tears off and smiled at Luca, "But if it was an accident then I'm sure my mother will forgive me."
Luca returned the smile.
The two friends visited for a while but Luca looked at the clock. It was time to go home.
Nani closed the door when Luca turned his back. She went to her bed and collapsed on it, falling asleep on the impact.
