잡아줘. 제발. Hold me. Don't let go.

Haru rubbed her hands over her face and stretched. She was late. Again.
"Damn. IT!" she wailed as she jogged to her work place. Hyuk, or anybody was home to drive her.
"I'm sorry Jongsuk!" She bowed deeply
He chuckled, "It's fine. I'm just hoping that it won't happen as much."
"Yes, me too."
-
"899... 900!" Jin raised his hands in success, "I can't believe we counted that much..."
"Yeah. All these tiny biscuits." Haru picked one up and threw it in the box. "What're these for?"
"Tonight."
"Tonight? Jongsuk is going to eat these?"
"No! Tonight is the collaboration of many other companies. You going?"
"Oh. I didn't know."
Jin raised his eyebrows. He picked up his phone, "Hyung, Haru isn't coming?"
"No, she is."
"But she said she didn't even know about the event."
"Is Haru there with you?"
"Yeah."
"Haru-ah!" Jongsuk called
"Yes?"
"Arrive at the grand ballroom tonight at 8pm. I'll be needing you both then."
"Uh, okay." Haru awkwardly said
"Done and done." Jin smiled
Haru looked away, a tight feeling was in her abdomen.
---
"I don't wanna go!" She wined and tugged Hyuk's shirt
"What do you want me to do about it? Your boss wanted you there!" He said, straightening out his shirt.
"I don't like formal parties like this! Yah, Hyukkie, come with me!"
"What?!" Hyuk yelled
"Aw, please? Someone to keep me company..."
"Argh, but I have to study---"
"I checked your schedule already. You're done all your homework."
"Fine. Let me get dressed." He grumbled
Haru didn't wear a dress, all she put on was a straight skirt and a blouse. Nothing special.
"Hurry Hyuk! We're supposed to be there now!" Haru called
"Hey! I'm doing this voluntarily."
Haru chuckled and locked the door.
---
"Hyung, what if she doesn't show?" Jimin fastened his cuffs
"Yah. The CEO demanded her to be here. She will. Relax." Jin soothed
It was the last day of the trip in Daejeon. It was the last day Jimin had a chance again.
"Why did you have to bring J-Hope? Jungkook was fine!" Jimin whined
"Jungkook is busy with Mihi. I'm going to help you with Hoseok's happy powers."
Jimin scoffed, "Yeah, I sure hope so."
"Hope? I'm here!" J-Hope wrapped his arms around Jimin
"Ah, hyung..." Jimin groaned
"So let me get this straight. You brought me here to help Jimin get back Haru."
Jin nodded
"As in, Oh Haru? The one that---"
"Got away." Jimin finished
-
It was a quarter after 8. No show of Haru until it reached 5 minutes later.
"See? Not late." Hyuk pouted
"Whatever. Let me find my boss." Haru walked forward, "Don't get lost."
"Yes, noona." He mocked
Haru glared at him and rolled her eyes.
-
Jimin patted Jin's chest, "Hyung! She's here--- With him?"
"Him? Who?"
"That guy." Jimin pointed to Hyuk who was happily talking with Haru.
"Who's he?" Jin asked
"That's what i'm asking too." Jimin sighed, "Do you think they're..."
"No. Look at their actions. Obviously just friends." Jin said, "Damn. It'll be difficult since she has company. She didn't say she was going to bring someone!"
"Should I intervene?" J-Hope asked
"No, let me talk to her." Jin stepped forward, "You guys don't move. Let me suss it out first."
Jin stood up straighter a bit, hoping this "kid" would be intimidated. "Hey, Haru." He smiled
She grinned, "Hello."
Jin nodded towards Hyuk, "Who's this?"
"Oh! This is Hyuk." Haru nudged him
"Hi. I'm Han Sanghyuk. Or My friends call me Hyuk." Hyuk smiled brightly, clearly not showing any fear of Jin.
"I'm Kim Seokjin. Jin is what i'm usually called."
"So what do you do?" Hyuk asked
"I work alongside Haru here. What about you?" That's it Jin, get the info.
"I don't really do anything in the meantime. I'm just here to keep Haru company. We go to the same University."
"So, friends?"
"Yeah."
Jin let out a sigh of relief mentally, "That's nice... Well, nice meeting you. I need to check in with the other assistants."
Hyuk nodded "Okay then."
-
"No, not a couple." Jin sighed in relief
"Okay! I'll be going---"
Jin grabbed J-Hope's collar, "Not so fast! We need to catch her when she's alone."
"And how will we do that?" Jimin asked
"We wait. Or we sabotage."
"I say sabotage." V says
The 3 of them whip around, "What the hell?!" Jim gapes
Rap Monster, Suga, V and Jungkook stand behind them.
"Yah, you didn't invite us Jin?" Rap Monster crosses his arms
"W-What're you kids doing here?" Jin squeaked
"Jung kook told us. We snuck in here."
Jin glared at Jungkook, "You're toast later."
"Damn it..." Jung kook groaned
"So, what's the deal?" Suga says
"Don't know yet." Jimin said
"That the guy?" V asked, nodding over to Hyuk and Haru
"Yeah." Jimin nodded
"V to the rescue!" V charges off
"Yah! Hey! Kim Taehyung!" Jin shouts
They all stood there in shock. They watched him grab a glass of wine, and casually walk over to them.
V bumped into Hyuk, "accidentally" spilling his wine over him. "O-Oh! So sorry!" V dashed away with a slight grin on his face.
Everybody groaned.
Jimin put his head in his hands, "Oh my god..." he turned around, everybody was dashing away. He decided to follow.
"You idiot! Why are you tagging along?" Suga nudged his head, "Get going!"
"What? How though?"
"Plan B." Jungkook muttered
"What plan B?" Jimin said

Haru's POV
I watched as the dark purple drink ran down Hyuk's shirt. Hyuk stood still.
"O-Oh! So sorry!"
My ears piped up at that voice. It was deep like... V's...
My eyes trailed to a tall male that was scurrying away. I look back at Hyuk, "You okay there?"
"I think so. Let me just go to the bathroom to wash some of it off."
I nodded, "Okay. I'll be right here."
I looked around to see if Jin was lurking about. No where in sight. Maybe he found Jongsuk after all.
"Excuse me." Someone tapped my shoulder
I turned around, then pairs of hands covered my vision and mouth. Sudden anxiety took over me. From the times I was harassed by Sora. The people picked my up, making me immobile.
They put my down gently, on some grass. Was I outside?
I shook violently. It was like a time portal, everything came at me all at once. I stated to twitch, remembering her cackling laugh. I could feel my hair being snipped off all over again.
"H-Hello?" I cried
No one answered. I was dying slowly, was it Sora? Did she come back to finally polish me off?
"Anybody?!" I screamed
It was pitch black, out in the freezing night, on the grass.
A small light switched on. I braced myself for what was going to come.
"Yah, Han Sanghyuk. If this is a joke, please don't." I laughed nervously, and hysterically.
My metal state was breaking down. I crouched on my knees, holding my head as a cried.
"Anybody..."
