Third Person POV

Heiji's eyes desperately search the street in the heart of the city in hopes of seeing Sunwoo's car somewhere near by.

She hands over the cash to the driver, thanking him before exiting and jogging along the street, heading towards the small convenience store where she knew he worked.

Her mind was all over the place. If he wasn't here, what would she do? She didn't know where he lived, she didn't know what else he got up to these days.

Heiji stopped in her tracks, forcefully blinking and taking a second to breathe. Her head was swarmed of thoughts of the boy with goodness knows who tonight, or if in the short time he decided to move on.

"Stop that," Heiji whispers to herself, looking around to make sure no one witnessed her talking to herself.

She opened the door to the store whilst simultaneously gathering her breath in an attempt to calm her nerves. The chime struck off of the door, the noise echoing throughout the store - and Heiji's nerves reappeared at the thought that she was here alone.

It wasn't that she expected anyone else to be in the store, or if that even mattered, but the thought of being alone right now made her feel a little worse about the situation.

She stands for a second, before strolling towards the front desk. She looks up to meet the familiar pair of brown eyes.

"Hi," she speaks as the girl smiles at her. "Is your brother here?"

"He isn't," the girl shakes her head. "Are you alright?"

The girl noticed the sweat beads that were forming on Heiji's head. She noticed that she had a fancy outfit on as well as more makeup than usual, which wasn't a bad thing - it was just something girls noticed.

"I'm great," Heiji nods, forcing a smile before taking a deep breath. "I actually need some water, sorry."

She drags her legs towards the fridges, taking a bottle before glancing at herself in the mirror. She was making a great first impression on the first family member of his she'd met.

"I'll take this, please," she nods, slightly bowing as the girl smiled and took the money she handed her. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure," she smiles, handing over the change. "What is it?"

"Could you possibly tell me your address?" The girls eyes widen a little at the girls request, making Heiji panic. "I'm sorry if that's weird, I just really need to speak to h-"

"Don't worry," the girl laughs, shaking her head. "It's not weird. What's weird is my brother actually getting a gorgeous girl."

Heiji blushes at the girls words, saying a quiet thank you and bowing, watching as she wrote down on a napkin which she assumed to be their address.
