"Let's dance bitches" I said, as I curled my brass knuckle covered hand, ready to fight. The first male charged me, attempting to swing but I quickly dodged it and spun around, swiftly landing a hard punch to his jaw. I felt a pair of arms wrap around my own, causing my PTSD from what happened to me years ago kick in. The memory hazed my vision, but I soon regained my composure, grabbing the arm of the male behind me and flipping him hard over my shoulder and onto the ground. He wailed from the contact of the cement, and I chuckled.
"Is that really all you got? You're pathetic" I laughed, as I peered over to the group I had come with, who were all smiling like idiots. Suddenly, taunting clapping was heard from behind me, and I slowly turned my head toward the direction of the noise.
"Bravo, bravo! Encore!" the person said, sarcastically "Azumi, you've gotten really good at fighting, baby girl. I'm proud" the person finished.
【 I know that voice... 】

I squinted my eyes in an attempt to make out who the person was, but the shadow of the building wasn't allowing me to do so. The person slowly stepped out of the shadow and into the light, giving away his identity to the group.
Heijun...
My eyes widened and I could feel the contents of dinner begin to turn, slowly forming a ball of acid in my stomach as I grew weak in the knees.
"H-heijun...?"
"In the flesh! Long time no see, doll face" he snickered, slowly edging toward me. I started moving backwards, attempting to be as far from him as I could be. I ended up backing myself into a hard chest, which startled me. I peered up to see that it was Yuta standing behind me, giving me a look of reassurance and security. Thankfully, the guys were here with me, so I was more safe than I would've been if I were alone.
"You have some fucking nerve to show your face in front of Azu and I, you sack of ass" Taeyong spat, disgusted by the male before us.
"Well well well, would ya look at that? Mister savior is here too! What a beautiful reunion! How have you been, shit stick?" Heijun taunted, attempting to egg Taeyong on. I peered over to Taeyong, who was stiff and tense. I could visibly see him curling his fists, the memories of that day noticeably flooding his thoughts.

"Why are you here, Heijun.." I said, trying my best to show no emotion. I couldn't show how vulnerable I felt, because that would give him the satisfaction of knowing he had any type of power over me, so I instead kept a straight face.
"Who the hell are you?" I heard Yuta sneer from behind me, clearly feeling the restlessness and nervousness radiating from Taeyong and I. I felt Taeyong move to my side, covering me and protecting me from the monster.
"I'm Ota Heijun, pleased to make your acquaintance" he said casually, slightly bowing.
"Well, Heijun.. It seems you have some beef with Azumi, our dear and close friend.. As well as Taeyong, our brother. So if it's possible, we'd like for you to take your friends and leave" Donghyuck said, surprisingly calmly.
"Nah, I think we'll stay. I haven't seen two of my best friends in years! How could I leave now?" Heijun said, sarcastically.
My eyes never left him and my body never relaxed. I couldn't feel anything other than pain and anger while he was still in front of me. I thought I had been able to move past what had happened, but seeing him now only brought it all back.. I wasn't over it. I wasn't past it. I couldn't forget about it ever.. At this point, I was numb.. But, I couldn't let him see that, so I said the only thing I could muster up..
"Leave"
"Excuse me?"
"Leave.. Now" I repeated
"... And who are you to tell me w-"
"She said leave. So I suggest you do as your told, since that's what dogs do after all" I heard Sicheng snicker.

I saw the rage begin to form in Heijun's eyes at the comment Sicheng had made, and he advanced forward toward Sicheng. Before Heijun could swing at him, I jumped in front of him and took the blow myself, the harsh sting from his fist radiating through my skull, causing me to stumble backwards. I felt arms wrap around me before I was able to fall to the ground, and I attempted to regain my composure. Once I was back on my feet, I stared the monster himself down, with unyielding eyes.
"Oh shit.. I'm sorry. That wasn't meant for yo-" Heijun began with his half assed apology, but was cutoff by Yuta's fist hitting his face. It happened so fast, no one, including Heijun, saw it coming. Heijun fell back onto the cement, and his puppets quickly helped him to his feet and brushed him off.
"You're gonna regret that" Heijun threatened, before storming off in the opposite direction, followed by his posse. I stood there, still in shock that I had just been in the presence of the person I once loved, who forcefully took away my innocence and scarred me for life. The self hate and disgust I felt back then was creeping back up at a rapid rate, but all I did was stand there, watching him walk away, as I held my now bruised cheek.
