closing the door behind him, Kuro begin his way back home. as he step through the dimly light lawn, his mind replay the way Rubius look away stabbing Kuro's heart. Kuro couldnt understand why he is feeling like this.

does Kuro also want to reach out for Rubius? Does Kuro also want Rubius to be his friend? but after he coldly shun Rubius away, Kuro couldnt even think if does he deserve such kindness.

it hurt to see that he was the reason, something so simple like making friends, become hard and unreachable. he could hear his voice from the back of his mind cursing himself, of how cowardly and foolish he was. 

the light around Kuro darken as the light from the street light was broken. leaving the path in front of him dark with no light left. luckily Kuro's apartment was a few light street away. but he soon notice all the street light that should lighten his apartment front door was all burned up and unable to light it up. leaving the scene dark and somber.

Kuro sigh heavily as he continue his step toward his apartment. rummaging his bag and take out the apartment key. it jingle against each other, making a sound as Kuro click the locked door open and be meet with a mess of a house. 

im home..

Kuro greet the empty house in his mind. a ritual he seems to hold him even when living alone in this little apartment. dropping his school bag on the floor, Kuro walk up to his bed and fall into the mattress. the exhaustion of the day take over him as he quickly fallen asleep. 

the next day when Kuro walk through the corner street toward his school, he saw Ki Woon already wait him at the end of the corner. as soon as Ki Woon saw Kuro's figure in the distant, quickly he trot toward him with a shy smile. 

"morning savior..." he whisper in a soft tone before hugging Kuro from behind. Kuro jolted from the sudden behavior from Ki Woon. he would never imagen someone so popular in his school would do something this openly. 

Kuro's mind begin to wander and think of what would happen if some of the Ki Woon's fans from his school would react to this out of ordinary behavior. who would know someone so attractively cold would be acting like a shoujo girl who is in deep love with her crush. this new experience leave Kuro's mind blank, unable to think a logical reaction for his behavior. 

"g-good morning, Ki Woon.." Kuro look up to greet him, but as their eyes lock in each other's, Kuro could see the cold face with an eyes so full of excitement. it was such a unique thing to see, but Kuro snap back into reality and continue their walk to school together. 

as Kuro begin his step toward the school, Ki Woon found himself still mesmerized by Kuro. was it the way his face looked so troubled?, or the way his hair somehow always so messy? Ki Woon found himself tugging on Kuro's shirt as he begin to walk away from his grasp. pulling Kuro back, "Ki Woon? lets go, we dont want to be late" Kuro turn back to see the dazed Ki Woon. 

Ki Woon's grip on Kuro's shirt tighten. not wanting to let this his savior to slip away from his finger. Ki Woon begin to follow behind Kuro with his hand still tugging on Kuro's shirt.

when they walk near the school, the students begin to fill the school entry, their eyes was glued to them both. some of the girls only focus on Ki Woon's icy beauty. while other people glance to see the School's Black Stallion is tugging on some nobody's shirt. they whisper among themselves trying to make sense of the scene. but it was saved by Albert who happen to walk with the crowds and notice the two dumbass who is oblivions of their surroundings. 

Albert speed his steps and karate chop Ki Woon's hand off from continue tugging on Kuro's shirt. Albert rest his arm on Ki Woon's shoulder and slip himself in the between of Ki Woon and Kuro. "morning everyone.." Albert smile toward both of them, ignoring the staring eyes around them. Albert place his hand behind Kuro and slightly push him to step into the school area more quickly to save Kuro from any start of rumors.

when they all step inside of the school, Albert can now finally speak freely with no eyes to stare. "next time tell me earlier that you would walk to school with someone else.. ive been waiting for you for so long at your usual bus stop.." Albert sigh annoyedly. "i-im sorry, but Ki Woon seems to be waiting for me at a corner around my house, its all because of me. im so sorry" Kuro bowed his head apologetically feeling guilty as being the cause of the problem. 

seeing this suddenly. Albert shake his head quickly. "what? its not like its your fault-" Albert try to clear the misunderstanding, turning his head toward Ki Woon to signal him to help him clear the misunderstanding. but Ki Woon was staring at Kuro with admiration in his eyes. 

Kuro has once again unconsciously become Ki Woon's savior. the way Kuro take the blame from his mistake was so heroic to Ki Woon. Albert, being his best friend, hit him at his arm with his elbow "quit it, lets go now." Albert lock Ki Woon's neck with his arm before dragging him through the hallway. Albert stop and look back at Kuro who is in daze with the chaos. "hey, feel free to hang out with us at the School Student's Meeting room" Albert say with a charming smirk. 

Kuro nod politely agreeing with Albert's wish. making Albert eyes twitch yet still keeping his smile from falter, he has failed to charm Kuro. but there will be more chance in the future.
