We were in the backside of my home (from where we enter) waiting for a cab which Ron called.

It was dark by the time and chilling too. Not much but enough to make my exposed fingers turn cold; I put them in my pocket to get some warmth.

That's better.

I looked at Ron who had his eyes on the road. He was wearing half sleeves how is his normal?

Maybe being hot has its own benefits.

"Why do you live with your friends if you have your own house?" Ron asked. I look at him.
"Well after papa's death I was living here but one day that hooded person came and stabbed me and it was pretty bad. After that I shift with Tau she had an extra room in her apartment and she and Tae Joon force me to move out of place cause it was dangerous for me. And when I was with Tau that person came again and attack so we shift with Tae Joon but it was no luck that person came there too like he always knows where I am and always attack when I am not ready and off from guards."
I took a breath and spoke again. "And it's better to live with those two than living on my own. God knows how I would've to cope with myself alone. First, it was difficult to live with them. They are different than me so is their world and they spend money like water. I have to argue with Tae Joon one day about how he won't let me pay for anything. In end, I pay for groceries, Tau pays for the electric bill and the other was for Tae Joon" I laugh. "But yeah it's better to live with them." Ron nodded.

"I still can't believe you're Dopey," Ron said out of blue. That made me wanted to hide from the whole world.

"Oh god! Don't." I groan he chuckles to me.

"Your papa showed me your photo but it was off when you were young. Puberty hit you well." he was still laughing.

"Stop laughing. It's not funny. Didn't I tell you not to say anything that Papa had said?" I remind him.

After a few seconds Ron's laugh died down and again there was silence.

"He loved you though." He spoke out again. "He used to tell how stupid and dumb you behave but still manage to do your best to not repeat your mistakes. He always used to tell me that he learned his lesson from you to do a mistake but learn from them. He used to tell us 'our mistakes are there to teach us but it's our duty to learn from them' He told me how you start to take responsibilities after his wife's death and that if it weren't for you he would have just gone simply insane. He cried worrying about it when we both use to have night shifts he uses to tell me how he was worried about his precious daughter and what would happen when he be gone. How you would live your life and if you would be happy or not, would you find a good partner for you or not, he wouldn't be there to scare them if they hurt or even made you cry then he would hunt them. I only had two missions with him and in that span of those months, he only was telling everyone your dumb moments and how he loves you. There was no in-between. He told me how..." He continued but I stop him.

"Don't." My voice choked and was low but it was enough for Ron to understand not to continue.

At the moment my chest felt heavy and hollow at the same time. I was having trouble breathing and my whole body felt numb. I bite my lower lip and scratch my thumbs to my index finger. Doing that didn't make me feel anything my skin went numb. My eyes felt dry the way we feel when we are tired yet they were ready to feel with tears. I felt like crying but for some reason, I wasn't. I felt like crying, screaming but I was just staring at my shoes.
Luckily the cab arrived.

"Why are you so late? Where were you? Did something happen?" Tae Joon was firing questions at me when we all (Him, Tau, me and Ron. More like I came and they followed me) arrived in my room.
