ANOTHER LONG CHAPTERR!!!!!
Sorry again for late upload!
________________________________
"Are you _Miracle7_?"
Haneul stopped walking and stood still when she heard the question. She heard footsteps walking towards her and the person was now in front of her. "Shh." Haneul puts a finger to her masked mouth. Shindong immediately quiets down as he understood why Haneul did that.
"Didn't think you're actually _Miracle7_, Haneul-ah." Shindong whispers to Haneul. "Please don't tell anyone else, oppa!" Haneul begs Shindong and Shindong ruffles her hair, chuckling at her. "Of course. Why would I? I figured you would reveal yourself to the world sooner or later." Shindong says putting his hand down, seeing Haneul's hair ruffled up.
"How'd you know it's me, oppa?" Haneul asks. "I heard things from the members and from others of how you and _Miracle7_ are similar as if the same person but I assure you, only us know about this. You can trust us, Haneul-ah." Shindong says and Haneul sees the truth in his eyes so she nods.
"Thank you, oppa. I'll be appearing on the first episode by the way. Are you going to be one of the panelists?" Haneul asks and Shindong nods his head. "Yep, I heard the guest for the first episode is GOT7." Shindong says and Hanuel nods her head. "Don't reveal a lot, oppa." Haneul says which Shindong laughs and nods his head.
"Thank you, oppa! I got to go now. See you tomorrow!" Haneul says and leaves the building after waving goodbye to Shindong. Haneul quickly runs to her car because she didn't wear her hoodie and coat since her shirt is wet from her sweat. Once she got in her car, she removes the mask, her shirt and dries herself with her shirt. After drying herself, she wore her hoodie and coat then turns on the heater to warm herself from the coldness of winter.
She puts the cross-bag and shirt on the passenger's seat. As she turns the engine on while removing her mask, she heard her phone ring. She grabs her cross-bag and got her phone out, answering the call without looking at the caller ID. "Hello?" Haneul asks through the call. "Haneul-ah! We just came from the studio and we were given the night off. We wondered if you want to hang out with us!"
Haneul hears from the phone and checks the caller ID. It was Jaebeom. "Sure! I just finished my business as well. I'll come by in a bit!" Haneul says to which she heard cheers from the other line. Probably the sevens heard Haneul say what she said and got excited.
"Be careful and watch the road!" Haneul heard Jinyoung's voice and Haneul laughs. "Yes, mom!" Haneul says and hangs up. Haneul drove to a nearby chicken place and bought two boxes of fried chicken and 10 cans of coke. After Haneul got her order, she got back in her car and drove off to the sevens' dorms.
Haneul parks her car in front, wore her cross-bag, the boxes of chicken and bag of cokes in one hand as she got out of her car. She walks to the building, entering the elevator and arrive at the floor. She walks to the sevens' dorm room and knocked. Haneul could hear some rustling before the dorm room door was opened.
Haneul instantly smile as she saw the sevens as the door was opened. "Haneul-ah!" The sevens basically scream in excitement as they saw Haneul and even more so when they see the boxes of fried chicken and bag filled with cans of coke. The one who was the most excited about the food was the one bite man, Jaebeom.
Jaebeom immediately took the chicken and bag of coke from Haneul's hand as the rest of the sevens held Haneul and pulls her in the room gently. "We miss you, sunshine." Jackson threw himself at Haneul, hugging her as he said this. "Aigoo. I miss you guys, too." Haneul says as she hugs Jackson back.
Haneul lets go of Jackson and was hugged by another member. "This giant.." Haneul felt herself being back hugged by none other than the giant maknae, Yugyeom. Haneul looks up to look at Yugyeom as he smiles down at her. "Gyeom-ah, we want to hug her, too. It's our turn!" BamBam says which made Haneul giggle.
Yugyeom lets go of Haneul as BamBam threw himself at Haneul, hugging her. "Princess! I miss you!" BamBam says as he hugs her gently with a pout. Haneul hugs BamBam back and pinches his cheek which made BamBam let go of Haneul to hold his cheek. Haneul giglgles at BamBam when he looks at her in a sulky manner.
When BamBam puts his hand down, Haneul swiftly and smoothly kisses BamBam's cheek. Haneul backs away and went to Youngjae who was holding Coco. Everyone was watching what happened and were envious of BamBam who got a kiss. "Youngjae oppa!" Haneul hugs Youngjae with Coco in his arms.
"I see that the princess Coco is well loved by the sevens." Haneul says as Coco starts to squirm in Youngjae's arms wanting to be in Haneul's arms. Youngjae notices it and gave Coco to Haneul to which Coco calmed down and laid on Haneul's shoulder.
"Never saw Coco be like this before." Youngjae says as he marveled Coco. "I think Coco likes Haneul." Mark says as he made his way to Haneul and pets Coco's head and gave Haneul a smile to which Haneul almost blushed but calmed herself down.
"And I like Coco, too." Haneul says with a smile and hip bumps with Mark. Mark just chuckles it out as Haneul made her way to Jinyoung who sat down looking at Haneul in a mom manner. "Mommy! Haneul's here." Haneul says in english which made Jinyoung's lip quiver, wanting to smile at what Haneul did but didn't.
"Mom is no fun at all." Haneul says in korean, trying to look sulky while holding Coco in her arms. Haneul then walks towards Jaebeom who was opening the boxes of fried chicken. She sat next to him while Jinyoung sat next to her swiftly and the rest of the sevens made their way to sit around the boxes of fried chicken and the cans of coke.
Haneul between Jaebeom and Jinyoung which are the parents of the group, then Mark beside Jaebeom, Jackson beside Mark, Youngjae beside Jackson, then the two maknaes, BamBam and Yugyeom sit side by side next to Jinyoung and Youngjae. They were huddled in a circle around the food.
"I bought fried chicken because I didn't want to come empty handed." Haneul says as she hugs Coco gently in her arms where she keeps licking Haneul's face. "You didn't have to but thank you." Jaebeom says as he stuffs a part of the fried chicken in his mouth. The sevens laugh at him and they begin to eat as well.
Haneul couldn't eat because Coco was in her arms and Jinyoung notices it. Jinyoung grabs a part of the fried chicken and raises it to Haneul's mouth where Coco was laying on her shoulder away from the chicken. Haneul looks at Jinyoung and gave him a smile. "Thank you, mom!" Jinyoung saw her eyes twinkle when she thanked him and he looks away but still had his hand up with the chicken.
Haneul eats the chicken from Jinyoung's hand and finishes it quickly so Coco won't eat it, then leaves a little kiss on Jinyoung's hand as a thank you. Jinyoung didn't expect to feel something soft on his hand until he turns to see what it was and witnessed Haneul kissing his hand, Jinyoung blushing a bit. "Haneul-ah, give me Coco. I'll put her in the bedroom so you can eat." Youngjae says so Haneul and Youngjae got up and went to the side so Coco's fur won't go to the food. Youngjae tries to hold Coco but Coco barked at Youngjae.
Youngjae and the rest of the sevens were stunned. Coco just barked at Youngjae. "Coco-ah. You should not bark at Youngjae oppa. I'll hand you to him so you can rest in the bedroom, okay?" Haneul coos at Coco when Coco was looking at Haneul. As if Coco understands Haneul, Youngjae grabs hold of Coco and Coco didn't bark. As Youngjae grabs hold of Coco, Coco immediately licks Youngjae's face as if saying sorry.
Youngjae couldn't be angry at Coco and gave her kisses. Coco was being brought to the room while she whined once before going inside the room. After Youngjae closed the door, the sevens and Haneul could hear Coco scratching the door before it went silent. "Coco never barks at Youngjae let alone all of us. This was a first. Coco must really like you." Mark says as the sevens and him were looking at Haneul.
I do, too. The sevens thought at the same time but Haneul doesn't know this. "I'll go wash up first." Haneul says as she walks to the kitchen. As she was washing her hands, she unknowingly sang Let Me by GOT7 in a whisper manner. She quickly stops when she realized she sang the song and finishes washing her hands.
Little does Haneul know, someone walked to the kitchen but hid when he heard her singing though it was not loud but enough for someone near to hear. He smiled and went back to the sevens, smiling brightly. Cute. He smiles at the thought and her voice kept ringing in his ears.
Haneul came back to the sevens and sat back down in her seat. She gave Jinyoung a piece of chicken because Jinyoung helped her ate a piece earlier. Jinyoung didn't reject it and ate it. Haneul gave a piece to each of the sevens and they smile brightly at her.
After they were done eating and drinking, it was getting late. "Thank you for the food and drinks, Haneul-ah." Jaebeom says with a smile as they all clean up the place and threw the trashes. "No problem. There'll be more to come." Haneul says as she was watching the sevens, feeling happy.
Haneul then checks her phone and sees that it was 11:28pm. She sees a text from Rey. "Han! D.O's birthday is coming! We need a cake! We just came back from practice and the boys are getting ready for 'bed'. Also when D.O left the room, the boys told me to ask you if you can buy a cake so we can celebrate his birthday. Han, pleaseeeeee."
Rey's message made Haneul smile. She quickly replies to Rey and puts her phone away. Haneul looks at the sevens who were looking at her smiling because of what she read in her phone. The sevens misunderstood it and were giving weird looks towards Haneul.
Haneul had her hands up and shake her head. "No, no, no. It was from my bestfriend." Haneul says which made the sevens narrow their eyes at her. "A girl or a guy?" The sevens ask as if they were Haneul's dads. "A girl. Though, I have guy friends, too."
Haneul says putting her hand on her chin trying to act clueless but it made the sevens give her more weird looks. Haneul jumps at the sevens with them catching her. "Of course that includes you guys." Haneul says as she kisses their foreheads one by one as well as hugging them.
"I got to go, oppas. I'll see you guys, soon! Good night and love you guys!" Haneul says as she waves them goodbye walking to the door. "Good night and we love you too!" The sevens bid at the same time and Haneul laughs at their replies as she got out of the dorm room.
Her voice. Even though it was a small snippet of her voice, it was cute and it was to our song. Soon and hopefully, she'll be able to fully show herself to us. A particular seven thinks to himself as he continues to clean up with his brothers.
Meanwhile...
Haneul walks to the elevator, got in, got out and walks out of the building. Walking to her car, she drives off towards a nearby bakery which sells good cakes. She arrives at the place and parks her car in front. Haneul went inside the bakery which was open and bought a chocolate cake.
The bakery was even fairly near to the dorms so it wasn't that far of a drive. She got in her car after buying the cake and a few minutes into the drive, Haneul hears a ding from her phone. She gets her phone and unlocks it.
"Han! D.O and the boys came back. They're really trying their best to distract D.O in the room they're in right now." Haneul reads the text and replies a "I'm almost there.", and sped up her driving.
She arrives at the dorms, parks her car, got out, goes into the building with the cake and goes into the elevator. Arrived at their floor, she got out of the elevator and saw Rey walking back and forth outside of their dorm room. Haneul runs to Rey while making sure the cake it okay.
Rey saw Haneul running and quickly opens the room's door for Haneul to enter and make a beeline to the kitchen to ready the cake. Rey trails behind Haneul after closing the door. Haneul takes the cake out and puts it on the counter to put the candles on it. "Rey, tell them to put a blindfold on him and lead him to the living room. Go, go, go! It's almost midnight!"
Haneul whispers to Rey while putting the candles on top of the cake and Rey ran to the room the boys were in. Rey opens the bedroom door a little bit and saw that Kris was literally leaning on the wall next to the door watching his members play a game with D.O. "Kris oppa!" Rey whisper yells to Kris which he turns his head to look.
Rey motions him to come closer which he did. "Haneul said to put a blindfold on D.O oppa before you lead him to the living room." Rey tells Kris and Kris nods his head, then Rey left. It was now up to Kris. "Okay, let's play another game guys. Hide and seek! D.O should be the IT first." Kris says as everyone but D.O agreed. "Why do I have to be the IT firs-" D.O didn't get to finish as Kris uses a hanky/hankerchief to blindfold D.O.
"We'll start once we're in the living room." Kris says and pushes D.O, leading him towards the living room and D.O let's him. The boys except D.O sees Haneul and Rey in the living room holding a cake once they got closer. Rey lights the candles and D.O smells the faint smell of smoke.
"I smell smoke. Is something on fir-" D.O didn't finish his sentence again when his blindfold was removed as his eyes begin to adjust and he found everyone surrounding him with Haneul and Rey in front of him with a cake with lit candles. D.O was shocked and tries to think of what's today but more like what time it is. D.O checks the time and saw it was past midnight, meaning it's January 12, 2017. His birthday.
"You guys..." D.O didn't expect this from them but he felt happy because of them even though it's simple as it is. "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." They sang the birthday song while clapping their hands to the rhythm and beat of the song as D.O smiles the whole time. "Happy birthday, Do Kyung Soo!" Everyone greets him a happy birthday and that made D.O's heat melt.
"Thank you guys." D.O thanks everyone there and they smile at him which D.O's hearty smile got out. "Make a wish!" Rey says D.O, excited for him. D.O smiles at Rey and closes his eyes. Once D.O made his wish, he blows the candles and everyone claps for him, congratulating him for becoming 25 years old.
"Let's eat the cake!" Haneul cuts the cake and gives each member and Rey their pieces which none were left for Haneul but Haneul didn't mind. "Eat up, guys." Haneul says as she watches them like they're her babies and smiles as they eat their piece of cake. "Drink water after eating your pieces of cake, okay?" Haneul says after bringing a pitcher of water then went back to get cups for them to drink out of.
"Where's your piece, Haneul-ah?" Suho asks as he noticed Haneul wasn't eating any. "There was none left but it's alright with me. As long as you guys got a piece, I'm good." Haneul says shaking her head since it was really fine for her. The boys and Rey shake their heads and they got up, getting a piece from their piece of cake and raises it in front of Haneul.
Haneul was stunned at what they did and did not know what to do. "Eat!" The boys and Rey say in unison that it made Haneul scared and she ate their spoonful of cake piece one by one and felt full. "Done." Haneul says and shows them her empty mouth, no more cake. The boys and Rey laugh at Haneul and they felt better now that Haneul got to eat the cake.
After finishing their cake, they drank water and they helped each other with the dishes and cups. Once they were done with the dishes, they lined up for Haneul to kiss their foreheads to which she did with hugs then they got ready to go to their bedrooms.
"Haneul-ah, can I sleep beside you again?" Chanyeol walks up to Haneul who was about to enter her bedroom and what he said made the boys who was about to go to their bedrooms, stop and stood to watch.
"I won't do anything funny!" Chanyeol says as he had his hands up like he was caught by cops. "You better not, okay? I'm watching you, Chanyeol-ah." Suho says with the hand thing to the eyes. Chanyeol nods his head and put his arms down when Suho went inside his and his roommates' bedroom. "Can I join?" Lay pops out of nowhere which made Haneul and Chanyeol jump from fright.
The rest of the boys were inside their bedrooms as well were Rey and D.O. "Yeah sure." Haneul lets out and walks into her room, nervous. Chanyeol and Lay got on her bed, making themselves comfortable and looks at Haneul in the end. Both Lay and Chanyeol pats the space between them and Haneul was looking at them, not making a move.
Haneul shrugs while chuckling, removing her coat and puts it back on her closet. She picks out a new hoodie and sweatpants, went to the bathroom to change, went back to her bedroom, puts her used clothes on the laundry basket and she got on the bed crawling to her spot.
Haneul laid still since being in between them made her nervous and shy. Then, both Lay and Chanyeol laid on their sides to face her. Haneul looks at them both and lets out a nervous laugh. Chanyeol and Lay were about to put their arms under Haneul's head but Haneul beats them to it.
Haneul moves a little faster and puts her arms under their heads and pulls them to her, hugging them both. "Shouldn't guys do this to the girls and not the other way around?" Lay asks as he was brought closer to Haneul, suddenly feeling the girl's part. Haneul didn't answer as she brought them closer and made herself comfortable and starts to caress their hair.
Lay and Chanyeol didn't speak any longer and finally decides to make themselves comfortable as they wrap their arms around Haneul like a girl would to a guy. Their legs tangled up with each others' leg. Haneul continues to caress their hair until she felt and hears their steady breathing, their bodies relaxing. Haneul hugs them tighter and fell into a deep slumber.
Fast forward to January 13, 2017..... A Friday .....
Haneul woke up to her alarm, shutting it off and sitting up. She shakes Baekhyun and Tao to wake them up as they slept beside Haneul. "Oppas, wake up." Haneul says as she kisses each of their forehead. Baekhyun and Tao groans out and grudgingly sits up, rubbing their faces. "Good morning, Haneul-ah." They both greet Haneul.
"Good morning to you both." Haneul greets back as Baekhyun and Tao made their way out of her bedroom to get ready as Haneul walks to her closet to pick out an outfit. A black oversized shirt, a white hoodie, black sweatpants, a grey coat, cross-bag, undies and socks.
She left the coat, hoodie, cross-bag and socks on her bed as she brought the rest and a towel with her to the bathroom. She took a shower, scrubbing the dirt off and got out to dry herself. She then wore her clothes and got out to walk back to her bedroom.
She enters her bedroom and dries herself more before she wears her socks. She then grabs her hoodie, coat and cross-bag with her as she got out to walk to the living room to put them there and walk to the kitchen to make breakfast.
The day flew by so fast. Practice from the morning, eating lunch, then practice again in the afternoon. After the afternoon practices were done, everyone was gathered in the lobby. "Tomorrow is the performance day and we need to buy our outfits." Hyoyeon says to her group as the rest of the groups were talking about their outfits as well.
"We should go to some stores to find something that fits the song." Lay says as everyone in her group nods their head. "Haneul's mom owns a clothing store that has good clothes there. Let's check there first." Rey suggest which their group turn to look at Haneul who nods her head.
"Let's go, then." Kai says with excitement as each and every group walks out of the building and go their separate ways to find their outfits. Haneul walks to her car as did Rey, Kai and Lay where Amber, Hyoyeon, D.O and Taemin were standing there, watching them go to a car.
"All of us won't fit in the car so there'll be three people at the back if that's okay. But we could fit though if some of you can sit on each other's lap, if that's okay with you guys." Haneul says as she stops in front of the car watching the four who were standing still in front of them.
"I'll sit at the back with Taemin and Kai." Amber says as she grabs Taemin's arm and walks to Kai to grab his and off they go, climbing on the back. Haneul got in the driver's seat as Hyoyeon, got in the passenger's seat, and Rey, D.O and Lay at the back seat.
"Wait, who's driving?" Hyoyeon asks till she saw Haneul in the driver's seat. "Wait, you can drive?" Hyoyeon asks which Haneul nods her head and shows her driver's license, Hyoyeon taking it from her hand to check it. "Damn. That's neat." Hyoyeon says as she gave the license back to Haneul.
Haneul turns on the engine and turns on the heater in the car and at the back of the car so the three at the back won't freeze to death. They were all wearing masks and caps so it also made Haneul wear a cap as well.
Haneul then drove off to the store where she and Hwan went to last time. As they arrive, everyone got out and begins to stare at the store. "This is Seon Fashion. She's one of my favorite fashion designers and clothing brand." Hyoyeon says as she excitedly walks in first while the rest trail behind her.
"Your mom is Mrs. Seon?! No wonder." Hyoyeon says as she checks out the store and the clothes. Everyone else did the same, finding an outfit that can fit the song. Haneul though was looking for a donut filled yellow hoodie just like the one Mark used in Just Right mv. She didn't find any so she went to one of the eonnies in the store.
"Hi, eonnie!" Haneul greets one of the eonnies and the eonnie she greeted immediately brightens. "Haneul-ah, it's so good to see you!" They hug each other and let go. "What can I do for you?" The eonnie asks Haneul. "Can you ask one of the designers to make a hoodie just like this one?" Haneul got her phone out and shows the eonnie a picture of Mark's hoodie.
"Oh sure, no problem. Just send me the picture and I'll ask one of the designers to make one. What size and when will you need it?" The eonnie asks which Haneul smiles at her. "I want a size large, men-sized hoodie. Also tomorrow in the afternoon, we're going to perform and I need it by tomorrow." Haneul says and the eonnie nods her head.
"I'll ask if they can finish it by tomorrow morning. I'll text you when it'll come." The eonnie says which Haneul nods her head. "Thank you, eonnie!" Haneul thanks her as she bows. The eonnie then left to go call the designer and Haneul's mom.
I already have black shorts back at the dorms so now the shoes is left. Blue Vans. Hmm. Haneul thinks to herself and just decided to go to a Vans store later hoping there will be a blue Vans but if not she'll just use a black one with long black socks. Haneul waits by the cashier as her group members slowly went to the cashier with their outfits.
"Because you are Haneul's friends, on behalf of Seon Fashion, we will be giving it to you free of charge." The cashier says with a smile towards Haneul's group members. "No no no, we won't accept that. Please." Hyoyeon says taking her card out and giving it to the cashier.
The cashier looks at Haneul and Haneul nods her head. Soon after Hyoyeon purchased hers, the rest of the members follow suit. Haneul understood that they don't want to take things for free because they earned money due to their hard work so they'll use their hard earned money.
These days people be taking advantage of people who do good things for them, who give them free things out of kindness and they just take them for granted. There should be a limit to these kinds of things because it could be too much for the person who's the one giving.
Haneul and her group members walk out of the store with their bags of clothes after saying goodbye to the staff. Haneul and the others got in her car. Haneul turns the engine on and quickly turn on the heater.
Haneul then drives back to the dorms as they see their friends coming back to the dorms as well. All of them with bags in their hands. Haneul parks her car in front and they got out. As they got inside the dorms, they see everyone else inside talking among themselves.
"Hey, Haneul-ah!" Minho greets as he puts his arm around her shoulder. "Hey, Minho oppa." Haneul greets back as she puts her arm around his waist. "Haneul-ah!" Jonghyun sees Haneul and Minho together and calls out to them.
"Hey Jonghyun oppa! Did you and your members find outfits for your song?" Haneul lets go of Minho as she went to hug Jonghyun while saying this. "Yeah, we did. You and your members?" Jonghyun asks after they let go and Key, Onew and Taemin pop out of nowhere to Jonghyun's side.
"Hi oppas. Andd yes, we did. Though, I need one last item, blue Vans." Haneul says and they nod at her. Haneul then checks her phone and sees that it was 6:15pm, she puts her phone back. "I have to go, oppas. See you later or tomorrow!" Haneul bid them goodbye as she walks out of the building.
Haneul got in her car and drove off. While driving, Haneul saw a figure walking in the snow. It's very cold out. Haneul tells herself and stops next to the figure. She got out of the car and walks to the person. It was an old man in thin clothes.
"Halabeoji/Harabeoji(grandfather or an old man over 70 years old), it's so cold out. Why are you outside? Let alone in those thin clothes." Haneul talks to the old man who slowly looks at her and Haneul saw his lips quivering from the cold. Haneul quickly removes her coat and wraps the old man with it. "Harabeoji, let's get in the car first and warm up, okay?"
Haneul says and the old man nods his head slowly as Haneul grabs his arm gently and leads him to the car, helping him get inside. Haneul closed the passenger side door and got in the car herself.
The old man was trembling terribly which Haneul held his hands, rubbing them gently since her body radiates warmth. "Are you warm, harabeoji?" Haneul asks and the old man nods his head as he begins to feel warm thanks to the coat, Haneul's hands and the heater.
"Why are you outside? Where is your house? I'll drive you home." Haneul asks trying to get the old man to talk. "I-I d-d-do-don't kn-kno-know where ho-home i-is." The old man struggles to let his words out but Haneul got it. "What's your name?" Haneul asks gently which the old man turns to look at her slowly.
"Mun Man Soo." The old man says his name which felt familiar to Haneul. Haneul begins to think. Mun Man Soo. Mun Man Soo. Mun... MUN! Jinho! Haneul begins to take her phone out and was about to call Jinho but turns out he was the one calling her.
"M! If you see an old man walking around named Mun Man Soo, please tell m-" Jinho starts to say in panic but Haneul cuts him off. "What a coincidence! I was about to call you about that as well. He's here in the car with me. I found him walking on the road in the cold." Haneul says which she heard Jinho sigh in relief.
"Oh my gosh. Thank you, M! Please drop him off at the address that I'll send you after this call." Jinho says, relieved that his grandfather is with Haneul. "Okay, okay. See you in a bit." Haneul says and hangs up. She hears her phone ding and sees the address.
Looking at the time on her phone, there was enough time before the practice so she drove off to the address. When Haneul arrived at the address, she saw a huge mansion-like-house, bigger than Jinho's and her parents' house.
She sees a lot of men in black suits standing still in front of the house while some were walking around in a hurry as if to find someone. Haneul wore her face mask to cover her identity. Haneul got out of the car, in just her hoodie and sweatpants since she gave her coat to the old man, and went to the passenger's side door to help the old man down.
The cold didn't bother Haneul, as she helps the old man walk to the house but she was stopped by one of the men in black suits. "Excuse me, where do you think you're going?" The man in a black suit stops Haneul with a hand up while saying this. "I'm helping harabeoji go home."
Haneul says in an obvious tone. "We don't know if the person you're bringing is the person we're looking fo-" The man in the black suit didn't finish what he said. "Let them in! That's harabeoji!" Jinho shouts at the men in front while an older looking Jinho walks out after Jinho then Jinho's two older brothers.
The man in black suit instantly made way for Haneul and the grandpa in panic. "You work here but don't know who this person is." Haneul says and continues to help the old man walk to the house. Jinho runs to his grandpa with a coat in his hands, wrap the coat around the old man's body and held his arms to support him.
"Harabeoji, you should not go outside without someone with you. You could have froze to death if it weren't for M who found you and sent you back." Jinho tells his grandpa and his grandpa looks at him with an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry, Jinho-ah. I suddenly found myself outside and forgot where to go." His grandpa apologizes to Jinho, giving his hand a squeeze to assure Jinho that he was fine. "You guys should head inside so haraboeji can warm himself. I have somewhere to go. I'll see you soon, Jinho oppa. Also, haraboeji, please don't go out without anyone with you, okay?"
Haneul tells Jinho then tells his grandpa. His grandpa nods his head. "Thank you, little one." His grandpa thanks Haneul as he held her hand and gave her a smile. Haneul's heart melted by his smile. "I'll see you soon, harabeoji." Haneul bids goodbye as she left and got in her car.
Before she got in her car, though, she turns to look at Hyun Ki who was looking at her as well. Hyun Ki looks away and helps Jinho with their grandpa inside. When Haneul got in her car and drove off, the older looking Jinho and Min Ki were watching her car drive away.
What a good person. The older looking Jinho says, which is Jinho, Hyun Ki and Min Ki's father. That's the bitch who knocked me out. Watch out, bitch. Next time won't be the same. Min Ki thinks to himself as he continues to watch the car till it vanishes while his father got inside the house to tend to his father.
Meanwhile.....
Haneul arrives at the ICSYV building before the time and parks her car. She checks herself through the car's mirror and looked fine. She got out of her car and walks to the building. Walking to where she practices, she enters the room and sees the staff inside as usual. She bows to them and greeted them politely.
The staff smiles at her and greeted her back, moving their hands which meant for Haneul to go ahead and practice. Haneul removes her hoodie and cross-bag and puts them on the side as she connects her phone to the speakers. After practicing for 2 hours with breaks in between, she was stopped by the staff as it was almost time to finish.
Haneul nods at them with a smile and walks to her things to grab them. "By the way Miracle7-ssi, are you ready for the show?" One of the staff questions Haneul which Haneul smiles and laughs as she grabs hold of her things. She then looks at the staff with her eyes twinkling.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Haneul says which the staff smiles at her genuine response. "See you tomorrow!" Haneul greets them goodbye and left the room. As she was walking towards the exit, she heard someone calling her stage name. "Miracle7-ssi!" Haneul turns around to see Ms. Mok running towards her.
As Ms. Mok was now in front of her, she was trying to catch her breath. "Miracle7-ssi. About the fourth round, we'll need the proof tomorrow. Is that okay with you?" Ms. Mok says, still catching her breath. "Yes sure. Here." Haneul raises her water bottle for Ms. Mok to take and drink from. Ms. Mok didn't refuse the offer and takes her bottle, drinking the remaining water inside.
Ms. Mok then calmed down and gave Haneul a smile, thanking her. "See you tomorrow, Miracle7-ssi." Ms. Mok says and Haneul nods her head as Ms. Mok pushes Haneul gently towards the exit. Haneul exits the building and walks to her car.
Haneul got in her car and removes her wet shirt and wipes her sweat with it. Once she felt dry, she wears her hoodie and cross-bag and drives off to a nearby convenience store which was near to a high school. She stops in front of the convenience store and parks her car. Still wearing her mask, she got out of her car and head inside the convenience store. Getting some snacks and drinks to eat and drink in the convenience store.
She sat by the window after paying for her goodies and watched the high school in front of the convenience store. Korean Arts High School. Haneul thinks to herself as she ate her snacks and drinks her drink. Haneul then remembers the memories she had there. She was the quiet yet hard working student there. There wasn't anyone who could bully her because she would fight back.
She lived her days in high school as a silent and hard working but deadly student. She laughs at the memories. Rey was always there with her, fighting the ones who try to bully Haneul alongside her. Haneul also got to beat Rey's bullies as well. Both of them were the silent but deadly ones in their school. They get good grades and get into fights with those who try to bully them and the others. They were the foot up the asses of the bullies and heroes of the victims. She and Rey were probably the youngest in their grades as they advanced due to their smartness.
Haneul could only reminisce those times for a little while. Haneul then sees something in the corner of her eye. Her eyes narrow down to the moving figures heading towards an alley. Haneul finishes her snack and drink in a hurry and put up her mask. She then walks out of the convenience store and stealthily walks towards the alley, which was at the back of the school.
Haneul could hear thuds once she was close enough and peaked a bit when she arrives at the entrance of the alley to look. Haneul sees 5 students ganging up on 1 student who was writhing in pain on the ground. Haneul sees that the one on the ground was a female and the 5 students standing consists of 2 males and 3 females.
Haneul brings her phone out as she looks around to see if anyone else was in the area and when she saw there was none, she quickly clones herself so her clone can video the scene in front while Haneul was getting ready to interfere if anything more serious happens. The clone starts to video them. Good thing there's enough light inside the alley to capture their faces.
"Oh lookie lookie. The bitch isn't talking back to me anymore. Where is your confidence from earlier go?" One of the three girls bent down as she talked and grabs hold of the girl on the floor by the hair. The girl on the floor yelped in pain. "This is what I wanted to hear! You in pain." The girl laughs after she said what she said and the people behind her laughs at well.
The girl lets go of the other girl's head and stood up. "You're rubbish. I don't get why the teachers like you more. Saying you're very talented to the point they can call you the next Seon Haneul. Who do you think you are?! The only one who can be called the next Seon Haneul is me! ME! Not some poor ass loser like you." The girl says, her anger boiling up and kicked the girl on her stomach.
The girl on the floor groans in pain but laughs in the end despite the pain. "They're the ones saying that not me. Besides, if you want them to call you the next Seon Haneul, you should try practicing and enhancing your talents more than being the punk ass bitch and bully you are." The girl on the ground lets out with a smile.
"How dare you?!" The girls beside the girl standing starts to beat the girl on the ground. The girl stopped them from doing more damage. "Stop. The boys won't even try to play with her if she's all bruised up." The girl stops the girls beside her as she smirks at the girl on the ground. "Boys? Have your fun." The girls back away and watched the two boys get closer to the girl on the ground, grabbing her wrists.
The clone, who's still recording, tries to nudge Haneul for her to step in but the clone didn't need to as she felt air and saw Haneul was making her way to the students. Haneul walks towards them, her hands in her hoodie's pockets, fisted in anger as she's trying to calm herself down.
The girl tries to scream for help but the boys cover her mouth and was about to remove the girl's clothing. Before the boys could even try, Haneul steps in. "Did you guys think you can get away with this?" Haneul's voice scared the three girls and two boys. The girl on the ground heard her voice and sighed in relief.
"Either you stop what you're doing or I'll be reporting you for physical abuse and attempted rape." Haneul says which made the 5 students tremble a bit but the tremble quickly went away. "Who do you think you are? There's 5 of us and only 1 of you. If you'll leave us as is, then we won't beat you up as well." The girl says and try to threaten Haneul.
Haneul could only laugh in disbelief. "One of me can take all of you out. So, either you stop and leave or face me." Haneul says as she stands in front of them with her eyes glaring. The girls and the boys were looking at each other as if they were planning to pounce on Haneul.
"Also, who do you think you are to be called the next me?" Haneul asks with sarcasm laced in her voice. The three girls stood in front of Haneul as the boys, who were on the girl on the ground, stood up, getting ready. "And who are you?" The girl in the middle asks.
Haneul laughs and walks towards the girl on the ground, pushing the boys away from her and grabs her arms gently. Supporting her up and pushes her gently to the wall for her to lean on. "Me?" The three girls and the two boys stared at the person in front of them.
Haneul stood straight after checking the girl's wounds and removes her mask. The three girls and the two boys gasp in shock and disbelief. The person they look up to and the person who saw what they just did.
"Seon Haneul?!"
