Shadows by Twilight

When lunch came, I made my way to the library, with a peach in my hand. I couldn’t wait until school was over. I’ll be going on a date with Woojin. I felt my heart flutter as I thought about him. 

I went over to the corner that I liked, picked a poetry book and sat down. This feels good. Someone suddenly snatched the book from my hand, I looked up and noticed Keonhee standing in front of me.

I rolled my eyes, and when I stood up Keonhee pushed me back down. “What are you doing?” I yelled at him.

“You really are something, you know that.”

“What are you talking about?” I glared at him.

“You really going on a date with that guy? Are you stupid or act like you are.”

He was starting to get on my nerves. I got up and faced him, “What’s it to you?! You’re acting like we are familiar with one another. You and I have nothing going on. I do not have to explain anything to you. I can see whoever I want and you can’t stop me.” I made sure he understood every single word I uttered. 

I snatched the book back and walked away bumping into his shoulder. He just turned around and watched me leave. 

We’ll see about that. He hisses.

I pushed his thought away and headed back to class. 

When class was finally over, I went to my locker to get my things. Keonhee came up to me as I closed my locker. 

“Your brother is looking for.” He said.

I looked at him suspectly, “He could have texted me if he needed me.” 

“His phone died. Just go, I don’t want him to get mad at me if you don’t go. He’s on the roof, go quickly.“

Ugh! What the hell Azrael! I moved him aside and went to the roof. Before I was able to step out, I felt something hitting my neck, knocking me out.

{Koenhee’s POV}

Xion texted me that he and his brother had Izora. I texted him to take her home. 

Azrael came up to me with a worried look, “Are you sure about this? Izora is gonna be pissed.”

“It’s for her own good. What if he wants to lure her somewhere to kill her?”

I walked away and headed outside where the rest of the guys were. A car pulled up and that dirty assassin came out, but he wasn’t alone. 

I walked towards him, “Let’s talk in the back.”  the guys and I walked and he and his friends followed.  

“What’s this about?” He looked at us nonchalantly. “I have to go see Izora.”

“Did you have to bring your friends to get Izora?” I asked.

“I’m dropping them off at Lit. I don’t think that’s something you should concern yourself about.” I wanted to rip that smirk off his face. 

“Well, we’ll just make this clear. You stay away from Izora. You aren’t good enough for her.” 

He laughed, “I don’t think that bothers her.”

“Woojin, you said you’d end this. Why are you still fighting for her?” One of his friends asked him, “We already told you it isn’t a good idea for you two to date. You can’t like her.” 

“Well, that sucks, because I really like her. And this asshole is making me want her more.” 

I make my hands into fists. This guy is getting on my nerves. Then one of his friends steps forward. “Don’t worry, we’ll deal with him. We don’t want her near him as much as you don’t want him with her. He’ll be leaving for China tonight with me for training. We won’t be back for a long while.”

 “Hyung, what are you talking about? I told you I didn’t want to go.” Woojin protested.

His friend turned to face him, “I’m sorry Woojin, but you and her can’t be together, it’s against the law. You’ll have to kill her one day if a sponsor asks. You need to stop this. I understand it’s the first time a girl moves your heart, but you chose the wrong girl. Let’s not make a scene here and leave.” he grabbed Woojin by the arm. But Woojin pulled away.

“I need to see Izora.” And with that, he ran away. I tried to go after him but Azrael stopped me. He looked at Woojin, he stopped running and turned to see Azrael. He nodded and continued. 

“Are you crazy?” I pushed Azrael.

“You guys are. This is the first time my sister has feelings for someone after her ex died. She should have a proper farewell at least. We can all wait downstairs. If he doesn’t come down, you get him and hand him over to his friends. That's the least I can do for my baby sister.” Azrael turned and left. 

Me and the guys looked at each other. I closed my eyes, pissed. What if he tries to run away with Izora?
