"So at class tomorrow we'll figure out what we'll wear for the competition. We'll do different outfits for each performance so we'll stand out in each one." He smiled.

Since the café was pretty empty we were sitting at one of the smaller tables.

"I still can't believe it's already here. I'm so excited!" I smiled.

"So how did that project turn out?" He asked, sipping on his coffee.

"I think it turned out good. I'm just glad we got it finished." I laughed nervously.

"I know I've told you so many times, but I'm so glad we met. I haven't felt this happy in a long time." He held my hands gently.

"I am too." I smiled.

"I'm sorry if this is too personal. But why don't you talk about your childhood much? I feel like I talk about mine to much."

My brain froze. What do I say? Think! Think!

"It was very rough and I don't like thinking about it. We moved away from America to start new. And you have helped me do that." I smiled, tears treating to spill.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry, I'm so sorry." He kissed my hand.

"No, it's ok. I just have a lot of pain, and you have helped me forget a lot of it." My voice cracked as spoke.

"I'm so happy I can be that person for you." He smiled.

We stayed until his shift was over.

"Hey, I'll walk you back. I just have to grab my stuff from the back." He ran to the back and I waited in the front for him.

"You know that you're putting him in danger, right? He'll be on our bosses radar pretty soon if you keep seeing him." I deep, scratchy voice spoke.

I felt my heart stop.
I can't fight back here, there are to many people. That was his plan, to confront me public so I can't do anything.
They already know my past, who I used to be.

"Be more careful, Iaso. Would hate for him to get hurt because of you. Our boss shows no mercy." He taunted.

I have a knife in my boot, but there are too many witnesses.

"I'll see you later, Iaso." He chuckled and left the café.

My body was pumping adrenalin. I have to warn the girls and make sure that they're ok..

We left the café and started towards the dorms. We saw a game going on and decided to stop and watch.

I recognized some of Chanyeol's friends so we stopped to watch for a bit. Kai saw us and ran over to say hi.

"Come on Taemin, we need one more guy to play with us." Kai tossed the ball to Taemin.

"Do you need to get back to your dorm for anything?" Taemin asked me.
