*Namjoon POV* 

The sound of students yelling outside didn't really register in my mind. All I could think of was her, where had she been all day. And why was Anya missing as well?

I traced my fingers over the polished wood surface of my desk. Will she really marry Jin? It's only a matter of time before dad gets his hand on the money, the bonds...he'll forget about us the second it happens and plant his corruption in the big cities.

"Namjoon!" The door swung open and Jimin ran in, out of breath and heavily distraut. He clearly had been running quite some distance.

"The lake….Rina's sister." He sent me a terrified look, one that I had not seen on him for a while. I knew just from his face that Kyung-hee was facing some sort of danger, maybe even death.

"Fuck. Is Rina there??" I all but jumped out of my seat and we both jogged out the classroom, into the empty hallway.

"She's nowhere to be found." Jimin spoke in a rushed tone, clearly worried for the two of them. This will really destroy Rina won't it? Losing her sister.

We burst out the double doors and sprinted down to the lake that had now accumulated a large group of curious students. At the front of the anxious onlookers was Yeeun, cheering for Kyung-hee as if she was proud of her.

"Yeeun...what are you doing?" I grabbed her arm and made her face me. She pushed back her blonde hair and chuckled lightheartedly. 

"Well I'm fixing the poor, tormented girl. No more droopy Miss sad face in the halls anymore." She smiled brightly as if she genuinely thought she was doing good. 

"Yeeun." A hand grabbed her short blonde hair and wrenched her head back. She yelped in pain as Taehyung forced her to look up at him.

"What did you do to her?" His face was the most intense I had ever seen. The way he looked at the cowering form of Yeeun was like he wanted to end her right there. 

"N..nothing….I just helped her see what was in front of her this entire time." Yeeun definitely was scared by the power of Taehyung and the deathly look in his eyes. Such passion…

A sudden high pitch screaming overpowered the horrendous whispering and murmuring of the deceitful students who were all too excited to see the suicide.

"Rina, stop!!!!" Anya was running to us, her eyes showing such a raw form of fear. Taehyung instantly let go of Yeeun at the mention of Rina's name.

I looked around for her but couldn't find her anywhere. Then as I looked at Taehyung who was also searching for her a streak of blue flashed past in the corner of my eye. No way. 

The crowd went quiet when Rina's voice pierced the air as she screamed for her sister. Everyone gasped as she jumped onto the thin ice and began running to the tree in the centre. 

"Kyung-hee!!!!" Her voice was so desperate, so terrified. The pain-inducing crack of ice soon flooded our ears as Rina ran faster not caring for her own life in the slightest.

Anya finally made it to us, tears streaming down her face as she watched Rina playing with her life. If she falls in she's done for, it's physically impossible to pull yourself back up on the slippery ice without a pick.

Then I heard Yeeun scream right in my ear as she stared at the scene with wide eyes. Taehyung was on the ice now too. Following a different path to intercept Rina. What are these idiots doing…...fucking fools...

Everyone could hear Rina begging her sister not to do it as she neared her. It was the most sorrowful sound anyone had ever heard. And as everyone held their breath….Rina stepped in the wrong area and her foot went crashing through the ice. 

"Oh my god…" Anya clamped her hands over her mouth as she tried not to cry. 

I could see Rina clawing at the ice trying to get a grip but she was sinking deeper into the water. Even in what was her last moments she still outstretched her hand in a desperate attempt to reach her sister. Just when everyone thought she would go under, Taehyung slid to her on the ice and grabbed her hand, laying down to distribute his weight.

He held onto her with a fire in his eyes that seemed hotter than fire. Kyung-hee froze from her perch in the tree at the sight of her sister submerged in the freezing water. The students held their breath as Taehyung pulled her out of the water and onto the unstable ice.

But then he didn't let go of her. She tried to stand up and get to her sister but he held onto her from behind. Everyone must have been thinking they would both fall because of how much they were struggling. I could see from the corner of my eye Yeeun's hands were forming into fists as she watched her fiance clutching onto another woman. Rina spun around in Taehyung's arms, her blue hair fanning out like a blue celestial cape, and then she brought her arm up and punched him in the face. 

The students gasped and cheered for Rina as she dashed to the base of the tree without falling in, leaving Taehyung behind on the ice with a bloody nose. 

She fell to her knees in front of Kyung-hee, who was balancing on the branch, mere inches away from falling off and snapping her neck. And then she begged her not to do it. It was hard to understand what she was saying because of how far away she was but I sighed in relief when Kyung-hee untied the ropes and climbed down to the safety of her sister's arms.

They embraced each other, the both of them crying for different reasons I believe. Reasons we would no doubt come to find out soon. They stood up and then froze when they realized they had to make it back over the thin ice. Rina hugged Kyung-hee then whispered something in her ear, Kyung-hee then slowly and carefully began walking over back to the river bank. She was so light and frail no one was really worried she would fall in, even though the ice did start to crack in a few places.

Taehyung slowly got up and to my dismay kept pacing towards Rina cautiously, putting himself in the same dangerous situation she was in. I held my breath when I saw him strip off his jacket and wrap it around Rina. Even Yeeun was struggling to watch the intimate scene that was unfolding before us. Both Rina and Taehyung sat down against the tree….their bodies pressed up against each other in an attempt to stay warm.

They're waiting till night….when the temperature drops and the ice is strong enough for them to walk back safely. Yes they managed to get over there just now but that only meant the ice was even more unpredictable.

"Namjoon...stop them." Yeeun was furious, her eyes were almost red with anger. 

"Nothing I can do." I mumbled, honestly not caring about her unhappiness. She put Kyung-hee there so this is just karma. I began to walk away when she decided to speak again.

"You bitch!" She screamed out and I stopped in my tracks, turning to see if I had heard her right. Fortunately she wasn't talking to me, rather she had directed her rage to the shivering, teary Kyung-hee who walked up with regret and anguish written all over her face.

"Don't you dare talk to her like that." Anya now stepped in, grabbing Kyung-hee's hand and standing in front of her protectively. This is a development...

Yeeun laughed and began to retreat, it didn't sound good. I couldn't help but wonder what she was planning now. "Now you'll definitely regret this, Anya." She turned and stormed off, the students murmuring curiously after her.

I looked at the mess this school had become and then to the now blue-haired Rina who was avoiding Taehyung's face even though she was not so easily able to avoid looking at his body. Clothes had never been able to hide Taehyung's physique and it was interesting to see how she reacted to it. What was more interesting was seeing Taehyung risk himself for her….something like that had never been associated with a selfish, narcissist like Taehyung.

What the hell has Rina done to us…
