"Hello red eyes"

Dongwook stood there leaning against a wall with crossed arms.

She stared at him silently without uttering a word.

He raised an eyebrow. "And may I ask what was your highness doing inside that filthy cell?" He asked mockingly. He was amused. What was she really doing inside? He saw her entering inside with some blankets and food. But why? She never gave any shit about others. She was even hesitant about getting involved to kids matters. But now,

"You do know that your actions are recoding through that right?" He showed the cctv cams through his eyes. "You can't be this stupid. Why are you really doing this?"

She still kept silent.

Dongwook rolled his eyes." Fine,you don't want to tell me?then be ready to answer to the empirer" with that he turned around but,

"They are my brothers"

Dongwook widened his eyes and looked back in disbelief. He surely didn't believe her. It is impossible! They are Koreans for crying out loud! He was super pissed at her lies but, he knew one thing about her. She won't help anyone if that person didn't have something to do with her.

"What the-- are you taking me for a fool?!"

"I am not. I'm mixed blood"

Dongwook's mouth hanged opened. Ge didn't know. So,that's why she knew Korean? "You are what?!"

Igarashi wanted to knock him down but she tolerated his annoying ass.

"I'm a mixed blood"

"So,then,Kim WonBin--"

"My father"

Dongwook was slowly digesting her informations. He couldn't believe that she is opening upto him. It was the most unbelievable thing. Does she trust him? Why though?

"You are not lying?" He was still in doubt.

"No"....." can you pretend like nothing happened?I owe you. Please"

And it was another attack to Dongwook. She is begging?!! His wide eyes stared back at her. He was terrified to the core seeing her dead serious begging. He would prefer the annoying Igarashi than this vulnerable Igarashi infront of him.

"O-Okay ,stop it. You are scaring me"

She bowed a little taking him off guard again.

"Don't do that again!! Just be yourself,you idiot! You scaring the shit out of me!" He was clearly freaking out with her strange behaviour. And he understood one thing. Those kids were dead important to her. She is ready to risk her life.

Dongwook is slowly learning things about her. She would protect what's important to her no matter what. She wouldn't give a damn about the world infront of her loved ones.

But she protects him every single day too. Does that mean,he is important to her? Igarashi was always there for him whenever he needed a hand. She tolerated his annoying ass every single day. Even though they fight every single day,both of them stayed with each other's sides.

Without knowing, they have already become friends. Annoying friends. Partners in crime. So,why  would he leave her in this matter. If she can risk her life,he too can do it.

"Tonight, let's take them out" he said making her stop on her way.

She looked at him with wide eyes.

He chuckled. "Atlast,you showed some emotions huh? Look at your shocked face. What are you so shocked? We both are slytherins. Rule breakers. I won't let you take the whole credit"

"No,Wu Yifan won't spare you if you get caught"

Dongwook rolled his eyes."Then can you tell me how you are going to take them out?you need someone. There are THREE kids! Also,my father leaves city gates today. We can ask his help--"

"No!"

"Then how the hell are you going to take them out?! Do you have a plan?" Dongwook was irritated.

"No" she mumbled again.

"We won't get caught. I have a plan. Trust me"

Dongwook didn't know if he used the right words. Will she trust him?

"I will trust you if I could take them out safely" She replied.

He nodded. "Let's get ready. First,we have to get rid of the security guard in the cctv room. And he will be the guy who will take the responsibility of kids' escaping"

Igarashi squinted her eyes.

Dongwook described the rest." And we get to know that this guy took the kids out and, mistakenly we killed the guy while trying to stop him.Kids escaped during the scene. How is the story? You like it?"

Igarashi smirked. She nodded.

Both of them turned to the cctv and smirked.

Dongwook  hid the dead body in a safe room and looked back to see Igarashi. "He will be the cause of everything. We will be safe. Let's take the kids out. I already took care of cctvs"

She nodded and ran towards the dungeons with him immediately. She could already feel them crying in fear. And that thought tightened her heart painfully.

Once they arrived,she opened the cell door. As expected, they were crying silently in the dark.

"Shh, I'm here. Don't worry" she whispered softly.

The three of them threw themselves to her embrace taking her off guard.

"N-Noona,we are scared" Taehyung muttered ,sobbing hard.

"Don't be. I'm taking you all out. But you have to help me. Can you help?"

They nodded vigorously.

"Then be brave. Can you not cry until I take you out? Do not let a single sound out from your mouths. Can you do it?"

Boys nodded vigorously. They were a bit scared of her because of her dress. She was wearing a black cloak with a hood covering almost her face.

"Let's go"

With that she took them out. Dongwook was waiting outside the cell patiently.

"I'll take two" he said immediately and took Jungkook and Jimin to his arms and raised them up. The two boys got terrified but Igarashi reassured them.

"Shh, don't be scared. He is helping" she muttered while lifting up Taehyung in her arms. The boy immediately hugged her neck.

The two boys in Dongwook's arms tried to struggle and come to Igarashi.

"Hey hey, I'm a good boy. Don't struggle" Dongwook hissed.

"Little bastards,I will take you to my arms once we get out. I promise. Now be good and stay with him. He will keep you safe"

And they calmed down hearing her words. They found no other place safer than her hands. But if she says they are safe in this man's arms,then they will believe her.

Igarashi and Dongwook looked at each other and nodded. This is something no one had ever dare to do. This is literally betraying their organisation. And this is the very  day, Igarashi built her trust on Dongwook. The very first step to their unbreakable friendship.

Passing through the dark streets,they were met with an obstacle. A night guard. They hid behind a wall but the man had heard the noises. He was already heading towards them with his gun.

"I'll take care of him" Igarashi whispered before placing Taehyung on the ground. He was reluctant to let her go. He was scared out of wits. She didn't know how to call him down. So she did what came to her mind. She kissed his forehead. "I'll be back. Stay with this brother" she pointed at Dongwook.

Igarashi left them and stood infornt of the guard. He couldn't recognise her since her hood was covering her face.

"Who are you?show yourself" he demanded pointing his gun to her.

She slowly lifted up her hood showing her face. "It's me"

The guard lowered his gun. "What are you doing here?"

She smirked walking closer to her. "Are you questioning me? I don't think Wu Yifan would like me to tell you about my job" she purposely used empire's name. She is the only one who use his name instead of 'master' ,'boss' or 'empirer'

"I'm sorry. You can leave "

"Mn. Go guard that way. I saw some fellas causing troubles in streets. Must be drunk"

The night guard bowed and left. She sighed in relief before going to the wall. As soon as she came,Taehyung jumped into her arms. She caught him perfectly and lifted him up.

"Let's go"

Dongwook nodded and walked with her.

Finally, they arrived at the parking lot. The guards at the parking lot were sleeping to Igarashi's astonishment.

"My father drugged them. It will only last for 30 minutes. We have to hurry. Father is waiting" Dongwook whispered and ran towards a black van which had tinted windows.

They entered inside and heaved a sigh.

"Dad!" A middle aged man peeked from front seat and smiled. He was the famous doctor everyone knows in the city. Empirer's personal health carer.

"Ready?Lower your heads and hid the kids with those black blankets. We have to pass the gates. Won't be easy to pass the security"

"Oh dad,don't lie. They would always let you out whenever you want and will always be ready to lick your feet"

Of course,everyone respected this man. No one suspected him. But he never took advantages from their trust. He would always let them check his van or car whenever he leaves.

Mr.Lee chuckled hearing his son's words.

"Mr.Lee, did you drug the guards in the back gate?"

"Yes, they would sleep for few hours. The security guard will be taken out by my men through that gate. And when the morning comes,his body will be caught and will be suspected as the one who took the kids out through the back gate by drugging the guards. And you two found about it and killed him accidentally. The kids were no where to be found. Right? "

"But,are you okay Mr.lee? You are basically betraying the organisation with us" Igarashi was a bit concerned.

Mr.Lee chuckled in return." You always keep my troublemaker son safe. So,this is nothing. These are your brothers. This is the least I can do"

When he heard that Igarashi was sent to the cold cave for a month detention, he was worried sick. She went there for his son. She always sacrificed herself to repay Mr.Lee's kindness. But she doesn't deserve to be in pain just because of that. Mr.Lee wasn't an assassin. He is a doctor. So,he had a kind heart comparing to the people in their city.

Dongwook kept silent.

Mr.Lee drew towards the gates. There were laser rays which check the insides of vehicles. That was the thing they need to avoid. They held their breath when they reached the gates.

"I'm in a bit hurry. Can you let me pass for today. I'm going to buy some medicines for the empirer" Mr.Lee said like he is in a hurry.

They obliged immediately since it was something related to empirer. They trusted this doctor.

As they passed the gates,they all heaved a sigh. They were literally taking advantages from the trust empirer had given them. Igarashi felt guilty. But for her brothers,she could do anything. A light she found,she will protect that tiny little light.

It was a very big deal now. Passing through the gates wasn't something anyone could do. She would never be able to pass through them with a physical fight. That's how much it is guarded. Only trust let them escape.

As soon as they left the gates,all the three kids jumped onto Igarashi and snuggled to her.

Dongwook rolled his eyes."Tsk,ungrateful brats. What do you all see in her? She is scary. You know?" He talked to the boys.

The boys hid their faces in her neck and chest feeling scared.

"She doesn't like it when someone touches her. She will kill--"

"Shut up" Igarashi shut him up before he could scare them even more.

Mr.Lee chuckled seeing the adorable scene through the mirror. "I've never seen Igarashi letting anyone get closer to her. Look at her now,she is cuddling with these kids" he teased her and joined his son.

Igarashi rolled her eyes when Dongwook laughed.

She slowly patted their backs."sleep"

Few minutes later,they fell asleep on her. Jungkook was in her lap while other two were either side of her clinging onto her arms.

"Are we going to give them to police?" Dongwook asked his father.

"Yes,we cannot do anything other than that. We can't travel to Korea now. Can we?"

Dongwook looked back at Igarashi who was sitting on the back seat with kids."That's all we can do. But we shouldn't show our faces to the police. Boys will have to walk to the police station alone.

Igarashi nodded. "They will"

Igarashi stared at the three awaken little boys."now,you have to walk to the police station and give this letter to them. They will inform your parents and it might take few days to leave. But they will surely send you back to home. Okay?"

"A-Aren't you coming with us?" Taehyung asked.

Igarashi shook her head. "No, I can't. You are a brave boy. You can take care of your brothers right? I believe in you. Take care of your brothers. Nothing will happen. Hm?"

Taehyung's eyes brimmed with tears but he nodded obediently.

"Also,you have to forget us"

Boys widened their eyes. How could they forget her. Their saviour.

"You cannot say a single word about us to the police. If they ask you about who brought you guys,tell them that a tall middle aged man brought you here and left. That's all. Okay? Do not mention about us. Can you do that?"

Boys nodded obediently.

"Now,get ready to leave"

"W-Will we meet again?" Jungkook who was in her lap asked showing his doe round eyes.

She paused. Will she ever meet them again?no. She doesn't want to. She will put them in danger.

She softly patted his head."No" she simply replied. She wanted it to be their last farewell.

Jungkook hugged her tightly, crying badly. Other two also didn't waste any time before hugging her from sides, crying their eyes out.

She patted their heads like an elder sister. She felt hurt to let them go. She just met them for few hours. How did this happen?

She doesn't know. It's complicated.

"Little bastards, that's enough. We don't even know each other. You shouldn't cry. It's better to not meet again. Go now. And take good care of yourselves. Don't run away from your safe place when you get back to your home"

They all looked at her with their teary eyes.

Jungkook kissed her chin while other two kissed her cheeks taking her off guard. She widened her red eyes and looked at them.

She cleared her throat looking away.

"From now on,you should forget about me. Leave now"

Igarashi stared at her little brothers going inside the police station ,from inside the van. She clenched her fists when they disappeared inside.

She felt a blanket covering her head and face.

"If you want,cry" Dongwook said and left to the passenger seat next to his father.

She just stayed inside the blanket. She again peeked through the blanket and stared at the police station. With a sigh,she covered herself.

"Let's go" She mumbled.
