"Hmmm you don't have tiktok don't you?"

Jungwon shakes his head left to right looking at me curiously. He raised his eyebrows wanting an answer why I called him Steve

"Does he really have to come along?" Yeonjun hisses in annoyance rolling his eyes then glaring at Jungwon "I hope your eyes get's stuck at the back of your brainless turd head." The younger boy muttered to the frustrated adult

"I came along because I don't trust you with her." Jungwon bit his lip looking at Yeonjun up and down with disgust "Who are you her mother?" The blue haired adult clenches his fists his mouth forming a pout

"Why do you need a mother too?" He was taken a back by what he said. Stepping back hiding behind me holding on to my backpack with trembling hands "F.Y.I me and Daein are motherless."

"Nah bro just you. I earned mine a month ago." I chuckled with a grin on my face brushing the strands of hair away from my face

"Daein.....you don't have a mother too?" Jungwon's voice trailed off every single words he said to me. His eyes filled with worry and compassion "She left to buy milk, guess the milk she wanted is still out of stock." I laugh barely breathing, putting my hands on my knees for support

The two went silent studying my reaction going closer to me "So we are the motherless trio!" Yeonjun pulled us into a hug almost smashing my limbs "Bet the milk they'll bring will never reach us in time." We all laughed our asses out not caring how the people were staring at us

"I need to head home this way." Jungwon points on the small road into a tiny village. He bids us goodbye with a bright smile

"We need to talk about us." My heart beat went on a marathon. Even my eyes couldn't keep still, making me speed read anything that is readable. Sweat started to form on my hands making me hold my backpack tightly "What about us?"

"You and I-" My phone started ringing making Yeonjun stop at his mid sentence. I quickly take it and slide the answer button gesturing Yeonjun that it will be short call

"Hello?"

"DAEIN!" The other line rings loudly with excitement making me curious of the caller

"So remember your biological mom?! I FOUND HER! YOU CAN MEET HER IN SEOUL! SHE'S FINALLY HERE! IF YOU WANT I AND MARK CAN-" I shut my phone off toss it into my pocket. Tears started to form but I quickly wipe them as I got a grip of myself

"Why would I cry over the person who forgot about me?" I thought to myself. Each second my face turns into a dark one with fire in my eyes "Daein? Hey lazy?" I quickly grab his arm twisting it out of my fuming anger

"HEY!" His right hand grabs my left hand which was twisting his other arm making him land; pinning me to the wall "I don't know what your problem is but this won't help." He pulls me into a hug patting my head lightly

"Come with me." He grabs my wrist leading me into an alleyway. I was scared, he still didn't seem to notice that. He turns his head to look at me seeing my expression, he held my hand tighter rubbing his thumbs on my hand "I will never hurt you."

We stopped at a old building. It was a abandoned pet shop. The lights were flickering, newspaper everywhere, glass shards around the block and busted furniture. We go around the building ending up in front of a fire escape ladder on the abandoned pet shop "Ladies first?" Yeonjun offered me to head up to the ladder. I was uncomfortable since I was wearing a skirt and it was mad windy "Oh! Here's my jacket. I figured you might need it." He was going to tie the jacket around my waist but stopped midway "Why don't you do it?" He laughed nervously wiping off his sweat with the back of his hand "Sure. I'll just do it myself."

I went up with the jacket secured to my waist. Slowly climbing up the ladder with heavy puffing "Why are you staying there? Come on up!" I shout from the top of the second floor of ladders giving him a confused look "Just head up ginger brain!" Yeonjun shouted back with a protective tone of voice "The hell is wrong with him today?" I whisper to myself shaking my head in confusion. On to the third floor of ladders finally reaching the top

I look up to see a small studio apartment on top. A table with a mat rolled up near it. A wooden chair facing the table with some plants at the left side of the entrance to the apartment. A few pairs of clothes on the hanging area with a grill at the corner of where the plants were "His house is minimalistic."

Yeonjun P.O.V

I stayed "wondering" down around the small street. Looking at everything before I catch up to Daein.

Why you may ask? The lady is wearing a skirt climbing the ladders which might be uncomfortable since there is a man behind her. It also gives me time to think what I am going to say to her "You're driving me crazy all over again."

I sigh heavily closing my eyes to think properly. She is just like her, she was just like my first love "I miss you everyday my princess." Staring deep into the clouds, a small smile curved into my lips "You said forever."

I start to climb the ladders seeing Daein was already at the top of the  building. I hurriedly climbed so that she won't wait long for me "Already enjoying yourself." I say doubting what I'm seeing "Got a problem with it Candy bitch?"

Daein P.O.V

"Enjoying yourself already?" At last I was finally greeted by my favorite bully. I stretch turning to my left side to face him, a grin plastered on my face "Got a problem with it Candy bitch?" I want to tick him off as much as possible. I was curious on how to see the raging side of him

"Do you have extra pants?" He asks heading in front of me. His expression of worry and anxiousness "It's in my bag." He throws me my bag startling me with his actions "Go and change. Now." He glared at me, his eyes staring deep down my soul "Chill mother I'll go ahead and change then." I go inside his apartment turning on the lights closing the door behind me

"Since you're changing. Can I ask a question?" He asks leaning back on the frosted windows. His tone was more of a serious one "What is it stray dog?" I replied annoyed taking off my buttons from my uniform after biting the pants to continue taking off my blouse

"Do you still want to be friends?"
