Ki woon was again awoken by the sound from the meeting room door, yet his grunt was stop when see the oddly smiling face of Albert with a hint of anger.

Albert quickly lean on the meeting table and sigh deeply. Ki Woon look at Albert behaviour and hesitantly try to talk him down,

"you good?" Ki Woon ask,

"i feel bitter," he answer rather quickly like he want someone to ask him.

"what- what happen???" curious Ki Woon ask 

Albert crouch down and wrap his leg with his arm under the meeting table, "this is so childish.." he bury his face.

Ki Woon looked at Albert who is curled up under the table. "you wanna talk about it?" he ask sincerely.

yet Albert shake his head, "ill figure this out on my own" he wave his hand around, rejecting Ki Woon's help.

Ki Woon stand up from his seat, "good luck, im going to my class" he walk away. then he sigh suddenly in the middle of the track before exiting the meeting room. 

now the two of them was clouded with problem, caused by one person who is absolutely oblivious of the problem he has cause to these poor boys..

Rubius enter the classroom with Kuro wrap in his arm. everyone try to not bats an eyes to the new kid.

even so, Rubius walk in with a largest smug face proudly.

he was so happy to snatch something that belong to someone else, he love to see their reaction. 

Rubius was proud of himself.

"i dont know what you want, but please.. if you want to hurt anyone. hurt me.. he has nothing to do with me.." said Kuro with a pleading eyes. 

seeing this, the fox seems a little offended. yet somehow, he love seeing those pleading eyes.

"im offended friend" he said grabbing Kuros face aggressively. the classroom fall silent, feeling like a fight would break at any moment. slowly they all turn their head away, ignoring the scene.

Kuro brace himself for a fight, but then he notice Rubius face. 

usually this time, he would see an angered face. but no, it was a disappoint face. 

he then silently walk toward his desk and rest his head on the desk.

the whole classroom sigh in relieve in their head, not witnessing any fight in the class anymore. 

yet somehow, seeing this. Kuro was swarm with a feeling of guilt.

was he genuine when he say he wanted to be friend? does he mean 'friends' in Yuki terms? will he hurt me..?

Kuro thought making his head more dizzy, yet before he could say anything, the teacher already enter the class. forcing Kuro to return to his seat and face the deafening silent between him and his new friend.

the days finally end with the both of them not saying a word to each other. 

Kuro clean his desk, putting his pens in his pencil box. book into his bags. in the middle of packing up, he see Rubius picked up his bag and walked out of the class in the corner of his eyes. 

as soon as Rubius exit the class, an air of relieve exit Kuro's mouth. atleast he wont be bullied by the new kid today.

he put the last item in his back but then his body frozen up when he hear the class door slowly open. 

no one should be in here, me and Rubius are the last student in here. Kuro thought in his mind. 

right, i still got Yuki on me. he say in his mind. 

Kuro embrace himself as he put on his bag and walk toward the class door. 

"h-hello, savior.." a low voice called out for Kuro. in this moment, the brain cells in Kuro begin to connect and think of one person who would call him that. 

quickly Kuro look up to see, a black haired guy peaking through the class door like a girl stalking their crush.

"Ki Woon?" Kuro called out for the shy man. "i thought we could go home together.." he said hiding behind the door. 

"where is Albert? arent you two suppose to go home together?" he ask while walking to Ki Woon.

Kuro get out of the class and closed the classroom door, "his sister picked him up in front of the school, its his mother birthday.." explain Ki Woon as both of them begin to walk together, side by side through the school hallway.

they both walked together exiting the school ground. 

Kuro mind was still burdened by the guilt of the choice he made with Rubius. 

he was conflicted to trust. 

should he trust another person again?

what if its a lie?

i dont want to get hurt again-

the thought circle in his mind driving him crazy.

Ki Woon felt the tension in the air and notice Kuro's troubled face. 

Ki Woon was hesitated. what should he do to make his knight in shining armor feel better. 

after sometime walking in silent, Ki Woon gather the courage and tap on Kuro shoulder.

"y-yes, Ki Woon?" Kuro ask jolted by the touch, turning his face to look at Ki Woon's blank expression.

"you dont look fine, are you sick?" Ki Woon ask with concern in his eyes. he hold Kuro forehead to check his temperature. 

Kuro smiled at Ki Woon for worrying about him. "im ok, Ki Woon" he said pushing Ki Woon's hand gently away from him. 

Kuro heart was touched by Ki Woon kindness toward him. no one ever treat him this kind before. 

for an instant Kuro felt thankful for their encounter. but things won't always goes his way. 

"your house around this area Ki Woon?" Kuro ask trying to start a conversation. but Ki Woon shake his head.

"so? why are we walking together??" ask Kuro curiously. "im gonna take a bus to go home, my house is a bit far" he answer. "the bus stop is at the end of this road, i assume your house is around here?" Ki Woon ask

"well, you can say it like that" Kuro answer vaguely. they both keep on walking passing through the street under the lights. passing though some shops that are already closed leaving only few of them open.

when suddenly a sound of cat running on the roof of one of the shop caught Kuros attention. he stopped in his track and look up and see a cat running through the roof, and hit a pot of flower off the roof.

Kuro eyes filled with panic when he saw it the scene, he quickly charge toward Ki Woon and push him out of the pot way.
