"Hana!"

My eyes enlarge when they land on the figure standing before me waving their hand with a smile.

No please not here not when.....they're here.

"O-Oh hi Haerim."

I wave my hand back nervously taking a glance towards the two elders only to see them with slightly open eyes along with an annoyed face.

Haerim skips towards me and wraps her arm around mine with the smile still on her face.

"Sup!"

I give a nod to her. After humming, she had finally realized that I wasn't alone since she looked at the two elders. But what caught my attention was that her eyes widened as they landed on them but she was quick to compose herself and plaster a big smile.

"Uh who are they?"

She asks sweetly and I could do nothing but give her a genuine smile and look towards the two, ready to introduce them one by one.

"That's Minho and Jisoo Unnie. Th-They're....they're my cousins."

I struggle to find a decent lie but eventually I do and let out a silent sigh of relief.

She nods before reaching out her hand towards them grinning showing her dimples to which they dumbfoundedly look at it until Jisoo realizes the situation and immediately shakes her hand putting on a smile which I was finding hard to define whether it was a genuine or fake one.

"I'm Haerim. Nice to meet you...you both."

She turns towards Minho but he seems to look away from her in an annoyed manner. I could see her slightly taken aback by the action but nevertheless she didn't say anything and looked back at me in a questioning gaze.

"Don't worry he's always like that."

I say to try to make this situation a little less awkward even though it wasn't really true. He wasn't always very protective of me. Only sometimes and when he was, he would be a little to much.

The atmosphere becomes quite awkward as no one speaks and I feel the need to break.

"Well Haerim," she turns towards me as I began to speak.

"What brings you here?"

"Oh I was just passing by to go to meet someone."

I nod to her statement and look back to the two annoyed humans and roll my eyes.

"Well we got to go now Haerim but it was nice seeing you."

"Yeah I got to go too. Byeee~"

She waved her hand cheerfully before turning around and heading towards the opposite direction. Once she was out of sight, I hear an annoying voice behind me.

"I'm HaeRiM nIcE tO mEet yoU~"

"I gOt tO Go tOo~"

I turn my head towards Minho who was immitating Haerim's voice mockingly while making faces. I shake my head in disbelief at his childish behavior and walk past him with Jisoo following.

"Hey wait for me!"

I chuckle hearing him yell and running upto us.

Author's POV

The foot tapped on the ground impatiently as if waiting for the person before them to speak.

"Where is he?!"

The male infront of the black coated figure shrugged his shoulders and tucked his hands in his pockets.

After waiting for 3 more minutes exact, both of them became impatient but mostly the black hooded person.

"I sent him out 2 hours ag--"

Just then, the door burst open revealing a tall male figure wearing a black suit with a matching black tie.

Hair pushed back neatly and a black wrist watch wrapped around his wrist along with a brown envelope in his hand.

The hooded person sent a deep glare before getting up and snatching the envelope out of his hand.

"Took you long enough."

The two stood back with hands behind their backs as the person opened the envelope with a sad smile growing.

"It is you."

The black hooded one looked at the picture in their hands which was a picture taken of three people but their eyes only catching sight of one specific peron in the middle.

The two men's eyes widened when they heard the statement, they were definitely not expecting this answer.

The mysterious individual puts the picture back inside the envelope and sighs as they turn to look at the two males still standing.

"Get me more info on them and till then, keep an eye on them."

They both nod with shock still present and step out the room. Now it only left the one individual standing there in pity.

"You act all tough and fearless but who knew you were so broken and lonely from the inside."

A sad smile reappeared while saying those words.

Hana's POV

I walk in to school with one hand lazily holding my backpack and the other one holding a coffee. Since there were 10 minutes left till class, I take a sip of the coffee and stand beside my locker gazing at the many students walk by laughing and giggling.

While taking another sip, I hear a voice yell my name which makes me look over to see Haerim coming towards me.

"Haerim"

"Hey"

She comes up to me with a smile as usual but I notice something weird about her.

She seems a bit off. Her smile.....it's different. It seems like........a sad one?

"Haerim you alright?"

Her gaze filled with surprise as she shakes her head calmly and passes a reassuring smile this time.

"Yeah of course."

I shake off those thoughts and lean on my locker with her beside me.

I'm just overthinking things too much. I really gotta stop this habit.

I take another sip but suddenly get smacked on the head which causes me to spill the little coffee left on the ground.

I look down at the coffee with anger bubbling up.

"Who the hell has a death wish!"

My eyes look up to the figure and land on the one person that I hated the most at this point while he was smirking in victory.

"You!"

I point my finger at him in anger and take big steps towards him.

"How dare you spill my coffee! There was only a little left!"

I stop once I had broken the personal space barrier with him basically towering over me.

"Well goodmorning to you too."

He flashes a smile to me and flicks my forhead. I wanted to continue being mad at him but something inside wouldn't let me so I just sighed it off.

"Whatever you'll pay for my next coffee."

I said with a smirk and opened my locker taking out the books for our next class. I close my locker and turn back to him who was about to say something but was interrupted by a shout.

"Yah! Kim Taehyung!"

Jimin suddenly out of nowhere came running to us and smacked him with his bag really hard causing him to hiss in pain and rub his arm.

"Yikes that must hurt." I mumbled in a mocking way while holding my laughter but I immediately kept a hand on my mouth because it was starting to become difficult.

"I won in rock paper scissors but you ran away! It was your turn to hold my bag!"

He made a pretend angry face before his eyes caught my and Haerim's figure trying so hard not to burst out laughing infront of them.

But we couldn't hold it any longer and we both started dying right there while holding our stomach.

Taehyung made a 'done' look and rolled his eyes before walking away leaving us there with tears practically forming in our eyes from the laughter.

"Y-yah T-Taehyung you still have to pay for my coffee."

I tried hard to speak without laughing and yelled at his back figure who just waved his hand in the air.
