"okay so.. one thing for sure, you have to stay here"

"if you felt like somebody is watching you just go to crowded places"

"dude, even if she goes to crowded places they won't stop. you know what kind of mafias here in neo city"

yoonhwa blinked her eyes a lot of times as they began to argue about something that she don't know of. her eyebrows furrowing slightly as she was getting confused.

they were explaining to her why she should stay in the main headquarters for a few days just to ensure her safety- which she never thought a gang like nct would even care someone like her. well except for her brother.

"i don't like the idea at all" he entered the room and the atmosphere suddenly dropped. his hair was quite messy and he looked exhausted.

"we're abso-fucking-lutely different from this girl and we don't have any time for babysitting" haechan muttered as his eyes glared her.

"the other gangs might saw her already. she could be a target- we can't just leave her" johnny said his eyes staring at the young leader.

"and this is temporary.. i think"

"you should be lucky that you're still alive" he seethed out and walked away.

"wow that's kind of.. you know what, yoonhwa. don't take whatever hyuck said to heart" johnny held her shoulder and smiled.

doyoung nodded his head. yoonhwa smiled back knowing that they don't want her to misunderstood.

"i know.. i just don't understand why he sounded like he hated me" she said half-whispered her head dropping down as she played with the hem of her shirt.

"he doesn't hate you he just thought you're getting in our way" a silver haired guy said and he sat beside her closing his eyes. he looked rather tired.

"taeyong.."

"hope you're doing fine here, yoonhwa" he muttered only for her to hum as a response.

"yoonhwa can i ask you something?" she nodded her head.

"well i overheard jaehyun said you hated mafias and stuffs like that. why?" doyoung tilted his head to the side raising his eyebrows.

"i- uh.." she was getting scared all of the sudden. she knew someone would ask but it was too soon. she couldn't even say what's inside her mind. all the words scrambled around in her head.

the sound of knife scraping against the door and the image of her getting beaten up appeared in her mind. a man's laughter and her cries. it sounded like it happened just right in front of her. the memories felt like it was happening again.

jaehyun came inside the room where they were and saw his sister looking a little bit shaken up. he quickly ran towards his sister hugging her little body.

"sis, you're okay?" she slowly nodded her head. he broke the hug looking her straight in the eye- his gaze full of concern.

"i'm sorry, yoonhwa. i didn't mean to ask something personal" doyoung said guilt all over his face

"no.. it's okay" she bit her lower lip and gave him a half smile.

she began to think. was she always born weak? even the sight of blood made her want to puke.

sighing she stood up her brother still holding her arm. "you're going somewhere?"

"i just need some time alone"

haechan heaved a deep sigh as he stared the file in his hands. the file contained a lot of profiles of a gang with an unknown name. throwing the file on his bed he got up and did a little stretching.

his room was dim lit and he liked it that way. his king sized bed had dark coloured sheets. he went in front of a full-body mirror staring his own reflection especially his new added ear-piercings.

a knock was heard on his bedroom's door. "food's ready. oh right! can you please tell yoonhwa too? i'm a little bit busy right now" the voice who he assumed as yuta said.

his forehead had a slight crease- his tongue ran against his teeth. groaning he went outside walking to the direction where her room is. standing in front of the white door he hesitated to turn the golden door knob.

when he was about to knock the door was opened from inside by her. she was a little bit shocked seeing him standing there frozen on his spot.

"h-haechan?"

haechan cleared his throat and his face turned blank as he stared down at her. "eat" he muttered before turning away.

furrowing her eyebrows she jogged to catch up to him but not too close. going down the stairs she accidentally tripped- falling onto his back.

haechan held the railings to stop himself from falling when something hit his back. yoonhwa quickly took a step away from him stabilising herself as he spun his heels around.

"what the hell are you doing?" haechan's eyes turned darker as he glared her. she avoided his eye contact. "i- i'm sorry i tripped.."

"did you hurt yourself?" he took a step closer making sure she didn't have any minor injuries. she shook her head quite surprise by him.

"what're you rushing for it's not like the food had legs to run away. stop being reckless" he said still glaring her.

"are you haechan?" she blurted that out suddenly. he lifted his left eyebrow.

"no i'm a demon" rolling his eyes he turned around leaving her there. yoonhwa's eyebrows furrowed her eyes staring his back.

"stop standing there! the food won't go towards you, idiot" he said putting both of his hands inside his jeans pocket. a pout appeared on yoonhwa's lips.

she doesn't really understand someone like lee haechan.

"i'm not an idiot!"
