few hours before:

"Yes, Yes I won't let them catch them." The young princess answered annoyed by her best friend who was also her bodyguard. The council worried about the young princess after the other members of the royal family suddenly went missing later found dead always made them protect her. The princess was getting ready to leave the ship. She had chosen to put her armor in a pack and wore clothes like the people of the planet. "We will be landing in about an hour." Captain Tiloma told the girl but stopped talking just looking at her. "What... is that?" She asked hesitantly. "What is what?" Ryu asked blankly. "The.... clothes." The older said. "Oh they are just what the people of the planet wear. I'm doing my best to bend in." Ryu told the older before walking out of the main bay and going to the bunkers of the ship grabbing the things she needed and put them in her bag.

"PRINCESS RYU WE ARE HERE!" Embwin yelled letting the young ruler know. 

The girl came out of the barracks nodding. "Thank you Embwin." She opened the door leaving the ship. They had come to the conclusion that only one of them should go and that the princess should be the one as her status and she was the youngest they would most likely trust her. She was walking through the woods that their ship had landed in to find them. Suddenly the young ruler was ambushed from behind. She tried to defend herself only to get knocked down her upper arm stabbed by the attacker's knife. The girl hissed in pain kicking at him. He wore armor but was much different than Alarian armor. His only had a shaded visor for his eyes.  

Ryu looked up at him and he laughed darkly. "Princess Nimaria your just as dead as your family." He then shot the girl making her bite her lip in pain. Her armor was in her pack as well as her weapons leaving her defenseless. He then threw the injured princess against a tree her vision went black as he came closer to her. the attacker then heard voices coming closer, so he left the dying girl on the ground.

"Jay come on spill already we are lost!" A brown-haired boy complained.

"Aish Jungwon! we are not lost I-" They all then saw Ryu bloody and uncosous on the ground "Um guys... I think she needs help... if she even if alive." Jay said the last part softer. All seven of the males ran over to her worried. Jay knelt down next to her and gently pressed his thumb under her jaw checking for her pulse and sighing when he found it. "She is alive but barely we need to call to get her out or she will die. Someone needs to carry her though untill we can get help. We should try and stop the bleeding... Who even did this to .." Jay said under his breath looking at all the wounds littering her pale skin.

 "Jake do you think you can carry her?" Jay asked after using the first aid kit in his bag to wrap the wound that was on her stomach and her upper arm. "Yes I'll carry her... how old do you think she is she looks young. Our age I would be surprised if she was older." Jake gently picked her up bridal style resting her head on his chest careful of her wounds. "Jay we should wrap the wound on her head." Jake said nervous about the condition she was in. He was gently wiping blood from her forehead and Jay handed him the first aid kit to treat the wound on her head when she suddenly whimpered softly gripping onto Jake's shirt tightly. Jake gently shook her. "Hey it's ok don't worry your safe now." He told her softly trying to comfort her. He gently rubbed her arm soothingly. "Hey...what's your name?" He asked her softly. "R-ryu.... Ryu Nimaria s-seventeen..." She said softly before she fainted. Jake looked at her worried before he called Jay. "Jay... She woke up but passed out soon after... Her name is Ryu Nimaria and she is only 17...." Jake looked at the girl her hand still holding onto his shirt. Concern was all over his face about her surviving or would she only end up dying. "That's good at least now we have her name... I called and told them where we are at. They are coming now to take her to the hospital." Jay told Jake softly seeing the worry on his face as he had gently moved her hair from her face. Jake nodded softly the other 5 looking at the girl in Jake's arms. "Hyung... the girl won't die right?" The youngest a blonde-haired boy asked worry in his voice. "I'm not sure Niki... I hope not but she looks pretty bad..." Jay told them looking down. They all wanted to save the girl. They all suddenly heard the helicopter and started yelling and waving their arms Jake held the girl tightly as the helicopter landed and two men came out holding a stretcher for Jake to put the girl on then they all went onto the helicopter the men were looking over the girl for wounds Jake glared at them, but he knew all they were doing was trying to keep her alive.

They reached the hospital, and the girl was rushed inside the building and the boys taken to answer some questions about the young girl. "So you found her in a clearing with all the wounds near death?" The investigator asked confused. all the boys nodded. "Yes I carried her and she  only said a few words before she fainted I'm guessing from all her wounds." Jake told the older male who was in his 40's. "I see... what did she tell you?" He asked writing something down. "Her name and age. Ryu Nimaria and she is 17." Jake told him the things he could remember about her as well as the other 6 boys. They then went to wait to see how the girl was. A nurse came out after a few hours and found them. "You brought the girl right?" She asked them receiving nods. "Yes is she ok?" Jake asked worried. "Yes... She isn't awake but you can see her."  The nurse lead them all to her room. She had an ivy giving her blood and her body had lot's of bandages on it. Jake gently held her hand catching the others off guard. "Jake when have you ever been like this with anyone let alone a girl?" Niki asked teasing the older making him sigh. "Shut it Niki... She almost died... she still might die I'm worried about her..." He mumbled. Suddenly her eyes shot open and she sat up fast surprising them all due to how injured she was. "Hey it's ok." Jake told her trying to calm her down. She accidently tugged in the ivy making her whimper. "Ow... what is that.." She asked pointing the the ivy in her arm. "It's helping her it's ok no one will hurt you." He gently held her hand. "My bag... were is my bag?" She asked worried. "It's ok we took it off and we have it we kept it safe don't worry." Jake told her softly. "You... Your the one who was holding me after I got attacked weren't you?" She asked Jake shyly. He nodded slowly. "I owe you; you saved my life." The girl seemed simple yet she didn't speak informally her words seemed more formal even for someone of her age. "When your better we will help you get home if you don't have a place or anyone you can stay with us your injured anyways." Jay told the girl. They had already agreed to offer their help to her. She was too injured to do much herself anyways. "Thank you... My name is Ryu Nimaria I'm 17 but close to my 18th birthday."

Jake smiled softly at her. "My name is Jake Sim I'm 19."

"I'm Jay Park I'm also 19 so is Sunghoon." Jay told her pointing at a Dark brown haired male. 

He nodded smiling softly. "I'm Park Sunghoon nice to meet you Ryu."

"I'm niki I'm 16 hi!!" niki yelled at the girl bouncing around.

"Niki stop it Ryu just woke up stop eating so much sugar." Heeseung scolded.

"I'm Lee Heeseung and I'm 21 Nice to meet you just ignore Niki."

"I'm Yang Jungwon I'm also 17." He told her grinning.

"And I'm Kim Sunoo I'm 18." He told the girl.

She nodded at them. "Nice to meet you all thank you for saving me.

"It's nothing you needed help." Jake told her.

She smiled softly at him then looked down at their hands which had somehow ended up with their finger intertwined she blushed shyly and looked away.

"You should be able to leave in a few days maybe a week if something goes wrong. You seem to be doing much better." The nurse told her.

She nodded smiling. "Thank you miss."

"Are you hungry?" Jake asked her after the nurse left. The girl shyly nodded.

"Yes.. I have not eaten in a while food would be nice."

Jake nodded. "I'll get you some food do you care about what it is?" He asked her.

"No... I'm fine with anything..."

Jake then left to get her food. He didn't understand why he was this way with Ryu but he wanted to keep her safe ever sense Jake asked him to carry her. He bought her some bubble tea then some ramyeon. He then headed back to the hospital and went back to the girl's room to find her sleeping. He gently shook her only to have her roll over a groan. "I'm sleepy leave me alone please..."

"Even proper when your sleepy.." He mumbled softly. "Ryu... I got you food." He tried again this time the mention of food the girl woke up and carefully sat up. "Food?" She asked shyly and Jake nodded and gave her the ramyeon and bubble tea. "I got you some ramyeon and bubble tea. "Thank you." She told Jake and she tried to eat with the chopsticks only to whimper and drop them due to her hand hurting too much. "Are you ok Ryu?" He asked softly. She nodded slowly. "It's just the wound on my hand..." She said looking down. "I will feed you it's ok." he then picked up the chopsticks and put some of the food in front of her mouth the girl took the bite she chewed it humming. "Thank you it's good." Jake fed Ryu the food and helped her drink the bubble tea when she was done she smiled softly at Jake. "Thank you for helping me." she told Jake softly. He nodded. "It's nothing now rest ok? You want out of the hospital, right?" He asked her softly and she nodded. I can sleep on the couch to keep you company if you want Ryu." The girl nodded slowly. "Thank you again Jake." She smiled at him softly. Jake then laid on the couch using an extra blanket. "Wake me up if you need anything." Jake told her softly. with that both of them fell asleep.
