I wake up at 4:30 a.m because I have to do my homework. I wake up and immediately head to my study desk. I take out my homework from my bag and start to do it. After halfway of my homework, suddenly I hear chatters in the kitchen downstairs.

I walk downstairs with a baseball bat in my hands. I sneak in front of the dining counter and suprise the person. It is Mr. Kim and Mrs. Lee in the kitchen. They both are suprised seeing me.

"Why are you awake?" Mr. Kim ask with a hint of anger in his face.

"What are you two doing here? Mr. Kim, you should go home now," I point at both of them. "I'm doing my homework, I slept early just now," I scratch my neck and put down the bat on the counter.

"Wait... Are you two...?" I ask them as I see Mrs. Lee's face getting red.

"We were married," Mr. Kim looks down and speak in a low tone voice.

"What?" I accidently shout and put my palm on my mouth.

"Haneul? Yaa go to sleep now. What are you doing?" I hear Minho's voice and quickly replies back.

"I'm making coffee. I'm doing my homework," I shout back to him and I hear him shut his door and breath normally.

"Well, I'm suprised. But I hope you get some quality time with each other. Please bear with my father, and make sure. Make sure you both don't get caught," I say and smile at them. I then go upstairs and finish my homework. I finish them about 6:43 and decide to take a nap. I tell Siri to put my alarm at 7 but time sure passes quickly.

"Haneul, your uniform is here," Mrs. Lee knock on my door and I open the door drowsily. I take the uniform and she gets mad as she know that I haven't had my shower yet.

After that, I quickly close my door and bath. I washed my hair, so I leave my hair un-comb and wear a padded jacket to school. I pull my hoodies up so that it covers my hair. I go downstairs and drink a glass of milk and decide to go.

"Why aren't you eating?" Mrs. Lee ask.

"I'm not hungry. I'll get going!" I smile and run outside as I finish tying my adidas sneakers. I get in the car and greets Mr. Kim.

"Hey Mr. Kim, are you alright?" I ask him concernly as he looks sick. His lips are pale and his face is red. I put my hand on his forehead and they are super hot.

"Don't *cough* tell your fath-" I run inside before he could speak or denies anything.

"Mom! Mom!" I shout as I knock her bedroom door. Finally she comes out.

"What do you want? Shouldn't you go to school now?" She asks getting ready to go out.

"Mr. Kim, he is sick! I think he has got a fever," I say and asking her to hurry and check him up.

"He still could drive right? Let him go to the clinic. Tell him to be hurry, I have to meet someone," She says with a really don't care face.

"Mom!" I shout to her but she goes back to her room and shut the door close. "Ugh!" I then knock Minho's bedroom and he immediately opens it. Thank god he had showered and looks good. "Can you please help me?" I ask him urgently.

"With what?" 

"Mr. Kim. He is sick, I think he has got a fever. Please send him to the hospital or clinic. Well, bring Mrs. Lee too."

"Why?" He asks in a confusion.

"They were married," I whisper to Minho's ear and his eyes got bigger like a golf ball.

"Are you serious? I'm going to tell mo-"

"No! Mom said that he should go alone to the clinic. Please send him and drives carefully," I put my hand on his shoulder, showing that I put my trust on him.

"Wait. How about you? How will you go to school?" He asks and I just realise that I'm late.

"Well, you can drop me off at the nearest bus stop in front of the signboard," I say and he immediately takes his car key. I get in his room and bring a big warm jacket to cover Mr. Kim. I tell Mrs. Lee and she quickly takes off her apron to go with us.

I cover Mr. Kim's body with the jacket with Minho's help. I then get in and Minho drives to the bus stop.

"Ya make sure to be careful and dad can't know about you going to school with a bus and with me driving Mr. Kim to the clinic," He says and I show an 'okay' handsign to him. He then waves to me and I wave back. I wait anxiously on the bus stop as I know that it will be the day I come to school late. Thank goodness too that there are not many people there. I just hope Mr. Kim is alright. A green bus with an advertisement of JBJ stops in front of me. I run into the bus but it is cramped with a lot people going to work.

I pay the bus with a some money my mom gave. I don't want to use a card as I know that dad will get a notification of me using the bus card. Then I look for an empty seat but none is found.

I search for the handle to grab and I see one of them still empty. I try to get between every person by making my body as small as I could. I reach there and immediately hold the handle.

[Park Jihoon's POV]

I am so sleepy as I don't get enough sleep last night. Yeah, I was thinking about Haneul. I come early and get in the bus early. I cover my uniform with a long warm jacket and wear a mask to cover my face. I sit at the middle of the bus as there are a lot more empty seats. After that, I put my head on the handle in front of me and try to get some sleep. Suprisingly, there are so many office worker that get in the bus after me. It is so noisy that I can't get some sleep.

The handle to stand is full but it is empty at the row of mine. After another stop, the bus stop and take a person. I don't see anyone coming in but before I know, the bus is moving moving again. I continue my attempt to sleep but somebody hold the empty handle in my row. She must be the one who gets in just now.

I was about to sleep when I suddenly hear a familiar voice. A voice that I like. I turn my head to the side quickly and see an angel. It is Haneul. She is complaining to herself about how cold it is now. I suddenly remembered what I did to her and wants to immediately apologise now, but I just can't because there are too many people.

I didn't expect her to notice me but she does. She suddenly look at me with a suprised face and I look at her eyes.
