? walk you home | chenle ?

As the crimson orange of the setting sun could be seen from a distance, students could be seen rushing out of the school after extra lessons were over.

"Ha Eun, you aren't going home?" Park Ah Rim, my Best Friend asked.

"Yeah, I think I wanna practice more." I answered.

"Okay...don't leave too late, stay safe!" Ah Rim leaves with those words I headed to the speaker to play the song.

I spent a few hours looking at my own reflection, and in a flash, it was already 9.00pm. I went to grab my water bottle and backpack, leaving the school.

The streets were dark and only a few lamp post lit up the route home. There weren't much people on the roads and it was eerily quiet.

I decided to take a sip of my water. As I capped back my bottle, it accidentally slipped out of my grasp and fell onto the hard, concrete ground.

I could only sigh and I picked my bottle up, until I felt something sharp against my back as I wanted to put my bottle into my bag.

"Don't scream." A deep, raspy voice said.

I froze up, my mind going blank.

"Give me your bag."

"What?"

"Give it!" The guy dug the sharp object into my back even deeper that it started to hurt.

I grimaced, letting out a loud yell.

"Yah! You freaking idiot." The guy sounded enraged as he grabbed onto my wrist tightly, twirling my around. "You leave me no choice."

The man, decked in all black with a mask concealing his features, raised the a shiny object in the air – a knife – and it was as if everything was happening in slow motion.

The knife slowly approached me and I had no time to react as I could only stare.

Out of a sudden, a shadowy figure grabbed the man's arm that held a knife and knocked the knife out of his hands, the sound of metal hitting the ground echoing loud.

The figure stood in front of me as another arm grabbed me from the back and pulled me away from the dangerous scene.

"H-Hey!" I yanked my arm away as I turned around, my eyes meeting with a boy with a very youthful look.

"Don't worry! My Brother will take care of that guy. I'm a nice guy! Look, I'm only a student." He says as he points at his uniform.

The uniform belonged to the prestigious Jeonghal School of Business and Finance.

"If you don't trust me, that's okay. There, see? My brother's coming."

As he says that, I look behind me, where a boy with greyish-brown hair could be seen coming out from the darkness.

"I threatened that Zhong Enterprise would sue him. He was so scared that he just ran off..." Was the first thing he said as he glanced at me.

Zhong Enterprise...?

I widened my eyes in surprise. That company was known to be extremely wealthy as they owned chains of departmental stores and restaurants.

I knew all that because my father works as a salesman at their departmental store.

"Really? Huh..." The youthful looking boy seemed to be pondering about something.

"What are your relations to Zhong Enterprise?" I spat.

The boy with grey hair looked at me.

"My name is Renjun. This is my younger brother, Zhong Chenle," He introduced. "I'm sure you can work out the rest." Renjun smiles.

"Oh," I nodded. "Well...thanks." No matter who they were, it was basic courtesy to say this.

"Then I'll get going." I added as I turned to walk away.

"Hey, wait!" Chenle ran up to me. "I'll walk you home."

"What? There's no need." I rejected the offer.

Why would someone like him want to do that?

Someone that was born with everything he could have wanted...

....help someone like me?

"Are you confident that you wouldn't get in trouble again?"

I pursed my lips.

"Hmph, fine." I exhaled.

"See? Lead the way."

"And your brother?"

"He's got something to do at home." Chenle vaguely replies.

I hummed.

"Um, you know, I don't know your name." He timidly speaks up, probably feeling the awkward silence we have between us.

"...Ha Eun. Yoo Ha Eun," I introduce as I came to a stop in front of my apartment. "Thanks, again."

"Yeah....Ha Eun. You're welcome."
