If I Can

Part 9

"Mom. I'm going now."

Harin hugged her mom and turned to leave, not wanting to converse with her incase she began talking about yesterday.

"Harin. Why don't you go to school with Min?" She stopped walking. That was her brother's nickname and hers was Rin.

She looked back at her mom, and bit her lip trying to find the right words to say. "I like going early." She said and her mom nodded.

"Its not safe, but it's fine as long as you get home." Her mom showed her a motherly smile, though Harin could see how forced it looked although she could tell her mom was genuinely worried for her. Harin returned the smile with a small one saying "Don't worry." She took a breath and turned around to leave.

"Mom did Harin leave yet?!"

His mom looked at him from the couch, he was running down the stairs and she said "You just missed her. She left a few minutes ago. Why are you up early?"

Hamin shook his head, and kissed his mom's cheek. "I'll get going. See you later!" He ran out of the house in hopes of catching up to Harin.

"RIN!" He yelled when he saw her at a distance, she turned around along with a person beside her. Hamin crossed his arms, what was their neighbor doing with Harin.

He ran up to them and put his arm around her shoulder, away from the stone prince. "Hamin?" He questioned and Hamin raised a brow at him. "What? This is my sister." He clicked his tongue causing Harin to yell at him. "Min! Go away!" She took his arm off of her and began to fast walk away from the two.

Kiwon took his hands out of his pocket and crossed his arms looking at Hamin. Hamin snickered. "You know I'm older than you right?" Kiwon gave him a teasing smile, and walked away from the older. Hamin was left alone, wondering why Kiwon was so rude.

"Kiwon! I'm sorry for leaving you with that idiot!"

Harin constantly apologized to him for feeling guilty and Kiwon just shrugged, walking to his desk. Harin then sat infront of him in Ethans seat.

Kiwon groaned. "What do you want?" Harin shrugged and noticed something. She smirked, and Kiwon decided not to question it. "Your wearing the necklace!" Kiwon nodded. "That's it?" He said and Harin flicked his forehead. "Your really rude you know that?" And Kiwon just rolled his eyes.

"Mm mh." Was all he said and Harin sighed, walking out of his class to leave him alone.

"I always see you in my classroom in the morning." Ethan said.

The two walked around the school field together during lunch, while the other 3 were in detention because of Jaesim.

"Its not your classroom!" She said and Ethan offered her a juice box.

"Thanks" She shook the juice box in her hand before opening it. Ethan nodded as a your welcome and he said "You've been getting close with the prince lately. I thought you both were rivals?" He questioned and Harin nodded.

"We are, but he's actually really nice despite the coldness he displays to everyone." She shrugs.

"How do you know that?"

"Because he's my neighbor. I guess I ended up getting a little closer to him because of my mom."

"What did your mom do?"

"She always makes food for him. I don't know why, but she always makes me run errands for her, I go to his house almost daily just to give him food." She explained and Ethan just listened, though he had something to say.

"......but yeah, I guess that's why I'm with the stone prince alot."

Ethan nodded and said "Just make sure to keep some distance from him. Your already getting hurt because your hanging around us. It'll be worse if you get too close with the school's prince alright?" Harin pursed her lips, unsure of what to say.

"It's fine... because you guys protect me." She smiled at him and he shook his head.

"But it affects you. Don't do anything that'll ruin your mental state even more." She nodded.

"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing." Etahn sighed. "Alright, but I'm warning you."

Ethan knew the effect the fangirls of the 4 boys and the stone prince had on anyone that got close to them. Everyone loved them, but sometimes Ethan wished they'd be nice to Harin, because she was their friend and not what they told her she was. Ethan didn't want Harin to get even more builled than she already was because of the stone princes fans.
