The sun was already shining the waters of the sea that wet the sands of the beach. The same transparent sea, the mirror of the blue reflection of the clear sky and the white and empty colors. Robin left home, this time with breakfast taken since her father had taken the necessary measures to feed a vegetarian daughter. The teenager outside gives her typical walk on the seaside beach, feeling the icy sea watering her feet and leaving the sensation of paralyzation in them due to the temperatures of the salt water. It was a quiet morning, the sea seemed to be calm, and the day was conducive to sunbathing. Robin turned around and went back home to dress appropriately to go to the beach when she sees a very agitated furry animal near some eggs. The girl, almost as an instinct, tried to scare off the raccoon who was trying to feed itself with some defenseless eggs, and so it happened. Some eggs were taken by the animal who was only trying to feed to survive, but most of them were intact and in their proper place.

A feeling of proud filled the girl for the mission accomplished of saving those natural incubators from some species that it was still unknown to Robin, and it was that unknown that made the enthusiasm of the recent achievement expire quickly. She didn't understand much of the subject of eggs, but that didn't discourage her in order to uncover that mystery and give them appropriate treatment. Robin rushed home picking up in several buckets and returned to the place where she found the eggs, as she approached the girl sighted again the same raccoon trying to eat the eggs again, she shakes her arms making noise with the buckets to scare him away and she let herself fall into the stan staring into the hole with the few remaining eggs.

"Turtle eggs, the raccoons love them."

The brunette looks back seeing an old lady who was passing by and looks back at the hole. The young woman felt obliged to protect the eggs from here until it was time for them to born and go to the sea, but the matter was how she was going to protect the few that were left. Having no notion of what she was doing and doing it with good intentions, she creates a fort around the eggs or as she named it, fort-anti-raccoon. At home, there was her father and sister on the porch staring at the angel who seemed to have gone crazy for good. As soon as she finalized her fort, the Angel went home to call the aquarium so someone more competent could go there to see the point of situation and help — but for the girl's misfortune, no one could go there in that moment, they only had the person in charge of it available on the next day. The angel sighed revolved with the situation and decided to go for a walk and, who knows, buy a book about the marine life that could help her to understand more about turtle eggs.

Grabbing her bag and her house keys, she leaves making her father and sister even more confused with the situation than before. Walking down the street and going through all the bookstores she could find, none of them had anything that could really help with the eggs. Tired of walking, Robin sees the coffee shop she went the day before and decides to go there way. The girl walks in and looks around, noticing that Hyunjin, the boy she met yesterday as well, wasn't working that day. She gets close to the counter to make her order and as soon as she gets her coffee she picks a table to sit while thinking about what she should do while the people of the aquarium weren't going to check the situation. She was sure the raccoon would try to come back later.

Lost in her thoughts the angel doesn't even notice that Yejun and two other boys have just come in. The brunette looked at her phone trying to look for good articles about turtles, but almost all of them said different things. Yejun and the boys approached the table and looked at the angel.

"I didn't expect to see you here, I guess you actually liked the coffee." Woojiun makes an admired remark by seeing the angel again.

"Huh?" The girl was confused and raises her head and sees three figures in front of her, "Yejun! I'm sorry, I was distracted."

"Can we?" Yejun asks for permission for him and his friends to sit with her and the girl just nods her head. The angels sit and Yejun decides to introduce his friend to Robin, "This is Jeongin and Seungmin. Jeongin, Seungmin this is Robin."

The three smiles and greet each other, after that Robin stays in silent and Yejun, curious about Robin's efforts to find whatever she was looking on the internet based on her face, he finally decides to ask, "What's up?"

"I found some turtle eggs and a raccoon is trying to eat them," Robin starts by explaining what happened early that day, "I called to the aquarium and they said they couldn't make it today, only tomorrow but I know that the raccoon will be back and I don't know what to do to protect them. I built a fort around them."

"I've some books about turtles, I used to study marine biology," Sungmin says looking at Robin, offering to lend her some books that could help her in her mission to save the eggs.

Robin looks to Seungmin and smiles. The two angels who just met start to talk about marine biology and agree to pass by Seungmin's house when the three of them finished their coffees to go get the books for Robin. Finishing their coffees, the four rise up and follow the path to Seungmin and Jeongin's apartment whole walking they were getting acquainted. Yejun was telling Robin she should hang out with them more since the poor girl doesn't know anyone else there. After that, they decided to focus on the fact Seungmin studied Marine Biology.

"You studied biology and none of us knew about it?" Yejun recalls what the friend has mentioned before in the coffee shop and looks at the Angel, shocked. Seungmin often had a strange will to beat everyone and Yejun insisted that deep down, and someone put him in the wrong side.

"I always knew." Jeongin answers raising his hand in the air.

"You don 't count, you live with him." Yejun rolls his eyes and Jeongin just laughs.

Arriving at the apartment of the two angels, Seungmin goes to his room and picks up two books that he thought it could come to be useful to the girl. Returning to them and handing him the books, Robin thanks his new friend with a smile. Putting the books in her bag, she says goodbye to the three boys and decides to go home. She had an intensive reading to do and some eggs to save. The sun was starting to set, and Robin decided to go camping next to the eggs. She dragged a chair, took some blankets, lanterns, books and a stick to chase the raccoon in case it decided to come back. The girl sat in the chair and started to read.

Hours later the angel finished the first book and felt proud of herself until she began to hear a noise. Robin picks up the stick and rises, slowly, trying to see what the noise could be, so the angel goes around and sees a furry raccoon standing up as it was ready to attack her. The young girl starts to scream and the stick became useless cause Robin's screams were more than enough to scare off the poor animal for at least a few hours. Trying to finish the second book, Robin starts to feel her eyes heavy and yawning every second, and end up falling asleep with the book on her legs and hugging the stick.
