"Haru, you are sleeping on hyung's hand"
"Who-" Haru woke up, shocked, and saw Taehyung smiling at her. She brought herself back to her senses and looked at Jungkook and Junkyu, "when did you guys change?"
"It's noon already, you're late miss" Jungkook said.
Haru sighed. She then asked Junkyu, "what are we going to do?"
"Nothing, everything is already done"
She looked at them in confusion, Jungkook smiled at her silliness and handed her the newspaper.
"The headline"
"The Kim's heirs were attacked and the eldest is in a serious condition"
She looked at Taehyung, he said, "just a little lie?"
"What are you trying to do Hyung?"
"Something" Haru sighed and went to change.
She got a call, "Yes?"
"Miss snow?"
"Yes, Hyunsuk?"
"I actually-"
"I am busy, bye"
"I'm sorry"
"What?"
"Sorry, I shouldn't have ended the call so soon yesterday"
"I wouldn't have called if it were not for my sleep"
"So, you only call me when you are not able to sleep?"
"I- Yes"
Hyunsuk sighed.
"What were you so busy with?"
"Just some things my brother told me to do"
"Like?"
"Where are you though? I haven't seen you in the café for a while"
"Are you trying to change the topic? I have been told not to go out for few days"
"I wanted to see you though, it has been a while"
"Hyunsuk, I am not in the mood right now. Let's talk later, maybe?"
"As you say, miss snow"
"Bye"
"Can you say that again?"
"Bye?"
"No, what you said that day-"
"Hyunsukie?" She giggled.
Call ended.
"Idiot, why did you end the call?"
She changed her clothes and was called by Junkyu. She went out and sat beside Taehyung, "Hyung, who is doing this and why?"
"Haru, I don't want to give that information to you but let me tell you another good piece of information"
"There are people I doubt on, they did the same to mom-"
"They are the ones who took mom away from dad?"
"Yes, and dad died protecting us from them"
"Are they trying to kill us?"
"Kill you in specific, but don't worry baby, I'm here for you, Jk is here for you, Junkyu is here for you"
"M-me?"
Taehyung held her forehead and nodded with a sad smile.

Two weeks later:
"Meeting you after two weeks feels like a decade"
"I know, I am special sana!"
Yoshi came and sat beside Haru.
"Haru, how are you doing?"
"I-"
"What's wrong?"
"Um, you are holding my hand-"
"Do you not like it?"
"I-"
"Here, my notes for the classes you've missed" He said placing his notebook on the table.
He picked up the empty coffee cup and went away, giving a smile. Sana shook Haru, "ma'am, I am still here"
"Oh, why is he like that?"
"Who knows!"
Haru looked at the back, "you-"
She went out following him.
"Hyunsuk! Why didn't you reply me?"
"Because you- you seemed busy"
"Busy? I am here because you said you-"
He hugged her for a second then cursed himself in his mind.
"I'm sorry, that was- that was a reflex action!"
"Y-yeah, it's okay, but why did you come out?"
"You were-"
"Talking with my friends?"
"Friends?"
"Yes, those are my friends"
"Just friends?"
Haru nodded, he smiled.
"What Hyunsuk?"
"Who's that guy?"
"Oh, I actually like him"
"Like him?"
"You don't understand things in one go?"
"I- nevermind. Why weren't you going out for like few weeks?"
"Because..."
"Because?"
"My brother told me not to"
"Oh the annoying one?"
"Annoying? Yes, he is"
"The one who kept shouting while you were talking to me"
"Yes that's-"
"Dummy! I got a call from- oh isn't this that guy?" Sana asked her. Haru nodded, Hyunsuk bowed towards her and she started smiling.
"Who are you, really?"
"What do you mean?"
"Haru's what?"
"I- we don't have a title"
"She keeps talking about you, though"
Haru kicked her and she groaned in pain, Hyunsuk smiled at them.
Sana gave her the phone, "yes, Oppa?"
"Where are you idiot, I told you take me with you wherever you go!"
"Just the café-"
"YOU IDIOT! DON'T GO ANYWHERE NEAR OUR HOUSE! THE MEN-"
Call ended.
"Who was it?"
"My brother, he screams a lot"
Hyunsuk laughed. There was a sudden silence between the two. The sound of the wind could be heard.
They looked around each other awkwardly and then looked down. Things weren't gonna work this way.
"Miss snow, remember when we first met?"
"You were being a coward"
"I saved you though"
"Till when are you going on with that?"
"Till things become less awkward between us"
"Why are they awkward though?"
The wind started increasing.
Haru removed the hair which were covering her eyes. Hyunsuk held them for her and looked at her, "reflex action?" Haru asked and started laughing.
Hyunsuk stepped forward while maintaining the eye contact. Haru started breathing heavily. He approached her lips and cleaned them with his thumb.
"Coffee?"
Haru stepped back and looked down. Hyunsuk smiled and said, "what?"
"Nothing, I thought-"
"Not without permission"
"I-"
"Then?"
"I don't know Hyunsuk"
He stepped back and nodded.
Haru's phone rang and she sighed, "COME OUT ON THE MAIN ROAD AND ALONG WITH SANA!"
"stop shouting"
"I AM SO MAD AT YOU"
"I'll go then hyunsukie-"
"B-bye"
He put his hand in his pockets and smiled while looking at the sky.
She ran backwards while smiling and disappeared like the other day.
"Who were you with?"
"Someone"
"You're not going out again"
"Taehyung Oppa didn't tell me to stay home!"
"I am telling you to!"
"Like I would listen?"
"Haru!"
"Junkyu!"
He sighed, she got in the car and the driver looked at Junkyu from the rearview mirror, he nodded.
"Why is it dark so early today?"
"It's already 8 you idiot" Junkyu said.
Suddenly Junkyu held Haru's head and bent down. A gunshot was heard, "shit" He murmured. The car was out of control.
Junkyu took out his phone and called a number. No one picked up.
Haru started panicking. Junkyu said, "here, look at me?" He said holding her chin.
She was breathing heavily and was all sweaty. "Oppa will come back in a second"
"Don't Oppa, don't go out"
She held his hand tightly.
Junkyu hugged her and closed his eyes. The car stopped. The driver said, "I will go out-"
"Hyung, let's just stay in, with Haru"
"Sir, if I won't go out, they would come in"
Junkyu nodded while his hands covered Haru's ears. He looked at her, who was crying.
One gunshot after other, it didn't stop. Junkyu took out the gun from his pocket. Haru was too busy crying to notice anything. He said "I'm sorry baby, I'll have to protect you"
As soon as he stepped out, the last shot was heard. Things became silent.
