Haneul

I went to school feeling worse than ever. I didn't want to go today, but I had to because of our Statistics quiz. Our teacher was known to be very strict on unexcused absences. 

Upon entering the classroom, Bora immediately came up to me feeling ecstatic.

"And we went on a date during the entire weekend, and he told me he wanted to be with me and he just really loved my company--"

She rambled on about Inseong but suddenly stopped in the middle of her talking.

"Haneul, you seem off. Is anything bothering you?" She finally noticed.

I turned my head to look at her as I mentally brushed off the negative energy surrounding me.

"I didn't get enough sleep last night, Bora. I feel like I'm floating, that's all." I tried to cover up.

"Ohhh.. okay. Better get some rest while you can, then. I'll go ahead and meet Inseong." Bora waved goodbye.

I scanned my eyes around the room in order to head for my seat, but I suddenly met gazes with Kihyun.

I carefully tried to distinguish the look on his face. Something about his eyes tell me that he knows what I am about. Kihyun is definitely watching me, and I could tell how worried he is starting to get.

Despite that, I shook my head to get rid of thoughts as I hung my head down low while approaching my seat.

"Wait a minute." Kihyun stopped me in my tracks as he handed out a lunch box.

I read the note on top of it and it was wishing me to have a great day ahead.

"It's from a guy named Hyungwon." Kihyun spoke.

"... which?" I unconsciously asked which was a mistake.

"Don't worry. It really is from Hyungwon." Kihyun answered.

At that moment, I started to realize what he had answered me with and how he really did hold knowledge about the matter.

"How do you know? How were you able to say that?" I didn't waste more time to ask him.

"I told you, I could see." He gazed intensely.

"What?" I wanted him to clear it up.

"I looked well. No one was controlling him. Looks like he made that lunch specially for you. He was smiling from ear to ear as he asked me to hand it to you." He said.

"Alright. Thank you." I gave Kihyun a nod as I accepted the lunch box in my hands.

Hyungwon

Class was done, and so I immediately rushed on my way to Haneul's school. I wanted to get there early in order to catch up with her and ask about the lunch I happily made. 

As I ran out of the school campus, I noticed something following me. It was an unexplainable presence which was quite familiar to me.

I turned my head around to check upon the mysterious entity I felt near me but I found nothing. I scanned my eyes slowly around the area, and almost quickly behind a tree, I suddenly caught a familiar man glaring.

I grew worried, it was as if he wanted to rip my soul out into pieces. I never felt so much rage transmitting right through me before.

"Wonho, hyung?" I called out to it.

Upon hearing my call, the man started to vanish away, leaving me alone.

I shook my head and brushed my thoughts off as I started to head back to my plan of meeting Haneul early. 

I ran and ran without ceasing, I didn't care even if I was running out of breath as well. I just wanted my plans to be successful, and I wanted to see her before ending the day.

Finally, I reached her school and positioned myself right outside the gate where she would come out. I wiped off my sweat hurriedly and fixed my hairstyle in order to look effortlessly presentable.

As soon as I was ready, I took a little peek inside and saw her making her way out of the campus while holding my lunch box. I smiled to myself, and even let out a little giggle upon seeing her carry what I had given her.

Haneul

I went out as school finished for me. I have started to make it a habit to leave early because I noticed how unfortunate events come after me whenever I leave school late. One of the reasons is actually the fact that I didn't wanna get involved with Taehyung's group again.

I walked my way out but immediately stopped as soon as I realized how I didn't eat Hyungwon's packed lunch for me. I hurriedly opened the lunchbox and was amazed by the amount of food he packed for me inside.

There were 6 pieces of kimbap, some kimchi, few pieces of korean beef on the side, 2 boiled eggs, and a generous amount of bibimbap mixed with a lot of vegetables. He even left two cute boxes of banana milk for me to drink.

Hyungwon was definitely thoughtful, but fear started to grow inside my heart. I was scared of where this was going. Wonho is starting to become dangerous, and if I have to cut ties with Hyungwon to keep him safe, I would do so.

I was ready to throw out the lunch Hyungwon had made for me near the garbage bag beside me, but I was suddenly interrupted.

"Haneul-ah!" A voice called.

I looked behind me, and surprisingly found Hyungwon himself.

"What are you doing here?" It was the first thing that came out of my mouth.

"What's that? You didn't eat the lunch I packed for you?" His attention went to the lunchbox I had in my hands.

"Oh. Sorry, Hyungwon-ah. I didn't have the appetite today. I really feel sick." I apologized.

"Ahh. For a second, I thought it was because my cooking was bad. I really am a bad cook, but I followed tutorials carefully just to complete that." He chuckled.

I only returned a small smile.

"If you can't finish this all, you still have to eat nonetheless. Maybe you're feeling sicker because you skipped meals, too! Come, let's eat and share this food together!" He grabbed my hand and led me outside.

I spent another day with Hyungwon, and I was starting to grow even more bothered. I really do like everything about him, and I hold him dear to my heart but I was simply scared.

I was fearing Wonho the most, and of what he could possibly do to Hyungwon. 

But today, Hyungwon was sweet, and he took care of me well. He was right, I started to feel less nauseous the moment I took food to eat. I regained some energy I needed to go home on my own. 

I went home alone without him because I didn't want Wonho catching us together anymore. Hyungwon was a bit stubborn about it at first, but I insisted him to let me for the day.

As soon as I had arrived home, I saw Wonho's familiar figure looking outside my house.

My chest suddenly felt heavy, yet I took a deep breath and approached him.

"Why are you here?" I asked, still a bit mad.

"Your tone... You're being cold towards me, huh?" He said.

"If you're going to pick up a fight again, just leave because--"

"I'm sorry." He said.

"... What was that?" I narrowed my eyes.

"I'm sorry for what happened. I honestly feel guilty for hurting you like that." He apologized.

"Hmm. Okay." I said and walked away.

However, I felt him drag me back as he was quick to grab on to my arms.

"I won't hurt Hyungwon." He added.

I took a moment of silence. They were the words I needed to hear from him. To be assured that Hyungwon remains safe is everything to me.

"Alright... Thanks." I said, my voice started to sound smaller.

Wonho breathed out deeply and pulled me closer towards him. He embraced me, and although he was trying to do it warmly, what I felt was like cold wind surrounding me.

"How did your day with Hyungwon go?" He asked.

My mind suddenly went off like a broken alarm. What did he mean by it? Did he watch over the two of us just this afternoon?

Once again, I started to feel threatened by Wonho.

"Why aren't you answering? I was asking you about that day you spent time together." He pulled me away to look at my face.

At that moment, I felt like he was testing me. I had to be stronger.

"I told you, he brought me to the cafe he liked to share food he wanted to eat with me. We also went to a beach and brought a lost little girl back to her mother. After that, I went home." I explained.

"Ahhh... I see. So now that you seem very comfortable, you'd allow me to keep staying in his body right?" He asked.

"Wonho, can we leave Hyungwon out of this, please?" I pleaded.

"Haneul-ah, we're not doing anything wrong to him. Besides, he agreed to it. Don't you wanna be with me? I wanna be with you physically as well. Hyungwon's the only way." He insisted.

I looked at him, and felt my face frowing upon his idea. However, his face maintained a smile I couldn't exactly tell what.

Wonho went ahead to kiss my forehead as I remained frozen.

I didn't want this anymore, but I'm starting to get the feeling that if I do tell Wonho, he's not only going to do something to Hyungwon.

He's also gonna put me into a risk.
