*play song*
Y/n's pov.
" I'm sorry about last time " Ein said as we both walk down the hallway on the outside of the hospital.
" Don't even remind me about that " I said.
" Why don't you laugh? " He asked.
" I don't know " I said.
" When was the last time you laughed? " He asked.
" With my dad " I said.
" Well. . . . .that went down. . . . .quickly " he said.
" I'm used to it, even if people curse at me it doesn't mean anything to me " I said.
" Duly noted " he said.
" Is Dante still pissed at me? " I asked.
" It's obviou- " he stops himself.
I sigh.
" Sorry " he said.
" It's fine, I've made more than an enemy " I said.
" How's your head? " He asked.
" Just a few headaches for the past few days but I'm fine " I said.
" What did you do to Corbin anyways? " He asked.
" My father is handling him right now " I said.
" Actually, speaking about Corbin, that reminds of the night you broke your cyber visor " he takes out a cyber visor from his jacket.
It's mine but, it's been repaired.
" You can thank Mariko for that " he said and I take it.
When our fingers touched overwhelming feeling rushes on my cheeks.
" She's a technologist along with her fourth brother, one of them is Sasuke " he said.
" Thanks " I said as I place it inside my jacket and we stop in our tracks.
He place his hand on my cheek, I look up at him.
" Are you okay?, Your cheeks are red " he said.
I look away and notice I'm blushing and now I have realized that I'm getting more redder.
" She makes technology as well huh? " I put my hands behind my back.
" What?, Thought your the only expert? " He asked.
" No, that's not what I meant- "
He hook my chin up.
He looks at me and there it is again, he does that thing again with his eyes. Part of me say pull away, but part of me say it's enticing.
I notice him leaning in, I couldn't help it but lean in as well. My eyes flicker to his lips when his flicker to mine, when finally his lips met mine, I close my eyes and kiss back.
Few seconds later he pulls apart.
I look down and bit my bottom lip.
" Your smiling " he said.
I look up at him with a scoff.
" I don't smile " I said.
" You just did " he leans in again and this time he place his hands on my neck while I wrap my arms around his neck.
Our lips moves in sync along with our heads, few seconds later, we pull apart. He leans his forehead on mine.
" We better get inside before Dante gets more pissed " he said, I snicker and nodded.
" There's that laugh " he gives me a peck on the tip of my nose.
" I don't laugh " I said.
We pull apart and walk down the hallway side by side. We were walking really close together. Until I feel his hand slowly intertwine with my hand, I look away with a smile and accept his offer.
Walking side by side we enter the hospital.

" What are the languages that you can speak? " He asked.
" Korean, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese, English is not included " I said.
" So you can understand Ash's and Natalie, those two can never stop fighting in their language " he said.
" Well, what about you?, Can you speak multiple languages? " I asked.
" No, I only learn martial arts and a few magic tricks I learned from Ash " he said.
" What magic tricks? " I asked as we stop in front of the supply room door.
" You see this? " He place his hand in the air empty handed, he close his hand and open them, when a coin appears and drops, he catches it before it hits the ground.
" That's too simple " I said.
" Maybe I'll show you more in the future, you don't know what these hands can do " he said, I hum in respond and he lean in again.
I lean in and we kiss again when the door opens and we both pull away while I take back my hand away from Ein's. I turn to the door to see Louise.
" Louise " I press my lips into a line.
" What are you doing? " He asked.
" We were just talking " Ein said.
" About? " Louise asked.
" How's Grace? " I asked.
" She survived and stabilize, she just lost a lot of blood " he said.
" Well that's good news " Ein said.
" I haven't gotten to the bad news yet " Louise said.
" What is it? " I asked.
" Her vocal cord is completely cut off so she won't be able to talk again, she only can communicate by writing down on a piece of paper " he said, I sigh and nodded.
" I'm going back to Meghan's " I said, Ein nods and follows.
" Nice save " he said, I shrug.
" I had to do what I had to do " I said and we turn a corner to the left.
" Why don't we hang out more sometimes? " He asked.
" Hang out where? " I asked.
" I don't know, you know how to use roller blades " he said, I raise an eyebrow in curiosity.
" Meet me here, tomorrow " takes out a pen and take my wrist.
He writes down something on the palm of my hand and when he was done I read on what he has written.
Sampson Park, 2 pm.
" That place is abandoned, what are we gonna do there? " I asked.
" You'll see when we meet there " he winks and enter Meghan's room.
" Us?, Alone?, As a date? " I asked.
" Yep " he said confidently.
" We've barely met " I said.
" I've known you for four months " he said, I look at him with a confused expression.
" You'll see " he tap my nose, I snicker and turn around.
I enter and see Dante standing by the window staring outside. His attention turned to us when I shut the door.
" You guys done? " He asked with a bitchy tone.
It was suspicious to me and I look down at Meghan.
" What did you do? " I asked.
" You are hard to fool " he said.
" Dante, what did you do? " Ein asked.
I rush to Meghan and my hands on her cheeks. She's fine but her face is pale.
" Figure it out yourself " he said.
I look down at Meghan's oxygen tube and it's cut off. I look up at Dante.
" We still have two minutes until she has a seizure and dies " he said.
" She's just a little girl! " I said when tears stream down my face.
" Don't put on that sad face, you know the medicine Louise gave isn't working anyways " he said.
" What the hell! " Ein pins him against the wall with his arm on Dante neck.
Meghan starts coughing, she opens her eyes and started crying.
" N/n " she whines a she holds her chest.
" You tell me who's next to die " Dante said.
" I don't know " I said.
" Wrong answer " he said and Meghan's eyes roll back as her body started limping.
" No!, No!, Louise! " I scream.
" Meghan " I cried out.
" Louise! " I scream.
Ein let's go of Dante and runs out the door.
" Meghan don't " I hold her cheeks.
" Louise! " I scream on top of my lungs until the door slams open along with other nurses.
I back up and run my hands through my hair. Ein enters and he hugs me, I cry to his torso.
" I'm sorry but you guys need to step out " the nurse said.
Ein and I walk out as Dante shut the door.
" What the hell is wrong with you? " Ein asked.
" Just say it was a life for a life, like Meghan for Nicole " he said.
I turn to him.
" You think I did that for nothing? " I asked.
" It's what it looks like to me " he said.
I clench my hands into a fist as I exhale.
" If Meghan dies- "
" And then you'll what? " He asked.
" Kill me?, Go ahead " he said.
" Just say you'll regret this for the rest of your life " I said.
" That's enough " Ein pulls me away by my arm.
I take a deep breath and turn away with my arms crossed.
" Get out of here, at least you left me a report for Landon " Ein said, I hear Dante scoff and walk away.
" Hey- "
" Just go, cancel the date, I won't be there until Meghan's stabilize " I said.
He was silent and I hear his footsteps fading. I turn and see his back, I palm my face and take deep breaths.
Ein's pov.
Before I turn a corner to the exit, I look back to see Y/n with her hand palm over her eyes and her taking deeps breaths. I sigh and turn around.
What was she gonna say when she said ' If Meghan dies'
I wonder what it is.
Bye!
