The sun is beaming in the window on your face. You slowly open your eyes to see Aimi and Hana still asleep. You look out the bedroom window to see the sky covered in clouds. It wasn't very bright outside, but the light is still shining through. 

It looks like it's going to rain. You thought to yourself. 

You climb out of bed quietly, trying not to wake them up. You quietly slide open the bedroom door to see Ren and Eli awake and sitting on the couch. 

"Oh... you're awake." Ren says. Eli is sitting on the ground, zoned out. You quietly slide close the bedroom door. 

"Yeah. Did you both sleep at all?" You ask. Ren nods.

"I slept a little... I don't know about Eli though." Ren says looking at the back of Eli's head. You look at Eli who's still zoned out.

"Eli..." You say trying to get him to snap out of it. Eli slowly looks up at you and starts to cry. Your eyes widen when he does. Ren also looks confused. "Are you okay?" You quietly ask.

"No... I'm such a coward..." Eli sniffles, he moves his body to where his head is now in his knees. 

A couple hours pass and you, Aimi, Hana, Ren, and Eli are sitting in the living room surrounding the coffee table in front of the couch. There is a bunch of pastries on the table that your grandmother gave to you for you all to eat. 

"So... both of you are members of Toman..." Aimi comments. Ren nods. Eli is zoned out again.

"We are under the first division, and we have to follow Baji, the first division captain." Ren adds.

"That doesn't seem too bad." Aimi says.

"You would think... but they still are suspicious of us." Ren states. "That's exactly why we are under the first division to begin with." Ren says taking a bite of a creme filled pastry. "Oh... and by the way Hana... you might want a new phone and phone number. Baji is using this to contact us." Ren muffles holding up Hana's phone. Hana sighs and looks down. 

"And they now know what I look like." Hana sighs. Everyone sits quietly eating pasties. 

BZZZZZ BZZZZZ 

Ren grabs Hana's phone and answers it. 

"Hello?" Ren answers.

"Hana?" Ren looks at Hana and shakes his head, motioning her to be quiet.

"Who?" Ren questions.

"I'm calling Hana through my work phone since she's not answering my phone calls" The voice on the phone says. 

"That's my mom" Hana whispers.

"Your phone didn't ring a single time for your mom..." Ren whispers back at Hana, holding the phone far from his face.

"Yeah... because I blocked her..." Hana says. 

"Why?" Aimi asks.

"Because... she's trying to get me to join this stupid nutritionist thing... saying if I keep eating the way I do I'll just get fat and end up dying from some sort of dumb heart attack or whatever... I don't want to do that dumb ass diet... So I blocked her... I'm rebelling... no one's taking my favorite food from me." Hana whispers in irritation.

"Hello?" Hana's mother says.

"Hi..." Ren responds.

"Who is this?" Her mother asks.

"This is... Cheol-su Nishimura..." Ren quietly says into the phone.

"Cheol-su? Do you know where Hana is?" Hana's mom asked.
