Chapter 8 (1/1)

Rae woke up to the sound of Jin's loud voice and L.E's stern voice in the early morning. She woke up, curious to what the commotion was about. Luhan was being dragged from the bed by Jin while L.E was telling Luhan to get out of house. "What's going on?", Rae asked, tugging Jin's hands away from Luhan who was too weak to defend himself. "Stop it, Jin. Can't you see he's still hurt?", she cried out. "This punk right here shouldn't even be here! Get him out before I make his injuries worse.", Jin shouted, storming outside. L.E looked at Rae and sighed, " He's right, Rae. He shouldn't be here. It's dangerous. Get him home okay?", he said softly but sternly. Rae looked at Luhan and didn't say anything. L.E left the room, hoping she would make the right decision."It's okay. I can go home now.", Luhan said weakly. "Sorry about that. They're just too cautious. I know you wouldn't do anything bad right?", Rae asked in a hopeful tone. Luhan smiled and nodded. "I'll help you get home. Cmon, let's go.", Rae said and placed her hand on Luhan's waist, holding him up. He threw his arm over her shoulder, secretly enjoying the skin contact. They walked downstairs and saw Jin impatiently waiting for Luhan to leave. They passed the glaring Jin and Rae called out, "I'll be back later,". She decided to take the white Porsche, only because it was the easiest to get Luhan into. He stared wide eyed, amazed at all the luxury cars parked in two neat rows. "It sure is different for you guys.", he said under his breath. Rae didn't hear him and started backing out of the drive way. The car ride to Luhan's home was quiet, but the silence was comfortable. Luhan rested his head back onto the seat and closed his eyes. There wasn't much conversation between them except for when Luhan had to direct Rae where to go. They soon arrived at a studio like house which looked nice, but was quite small compared to the houses Rae had ever been to. She hopped out of the car after parking it in the driveway, and opened Luhan's door to help him in."Err..I've got it from here. Thanks.", he said uncomforably."No, it's fine. I'll help you to the door.", Rae insisted, pulling him out. Luhan had an unsure expression on his face, but Rae didn't notice. They walked up to the front door and just as she was about to ring the doorbell, the door opened hastily. Rae was surprised, but not by the sudden action. It was the person who had opened it. The boy leaned against the door frame, blocking the entrance. He had a knowing expression. "Told you we'd meet again..pretty lady.", Kris said smirking. Rae stared in horror and looked over at Luhan. He had an apologetic look on his face. Before she could respond, Kris was on the other side of Luhan, supporting him into the house. Inside, the house was modest and had contemporary interior. Kris led them to the living room, and sat Luhan down on the couch. Then he plopped onto the seat next to Luhan and looked up at Rae."Wanna stay a bit more? I'll show you my room.", Kris said, flashing a grin at her. Rae ignored him and looked over to Luhan, " You're fine here right? I'll get going now. Take care,", she said and began to turn away. "Hey, wait a second.", Kris said. "You've got some explaining to do. You come to our place and dump one of ours, injured, without an explanation?" Luhan looked over at Kris, realizing he was mistaken."No, she saved me from these guys who were beating me up. They had nothing to with it except in helping me.", Luhan explained quickly. Kris had a curious expression on his face and asked, " Why would they save one of us? I'm sure they'd like it if we all disappeared.""Because unlike you, we don't have any intention of causing any sort of trouble or harm to anyone. Not everyone is as cunning and evil as you.", Rae retorted, offended by the accusation."Feisty, aren't you?", Kris responded, amused by Rae's sudden outburst. "Whatever, I really need to get going. I don't have time proving a moot point to someone so ignorant.", she said and barged out of the house. No one went after her, thankfully. Rae drove back to ShiYo, bracing herself for complaints and whines of the others. When she parked her car, Daze was waiting outside for her."Be careful. They're pretty worked up in there. Just let me know if you need me to knock Jin out.", she said, grinning."Thanks. I'll take care of it.", Rae replied and marched in. Fumes were literally coming out of Jin's ears and L.E was pacing back and forth with a worried expression. Miri was perched on the table, with her elbows on her knees and her chin resting on her hands. And Ty as usual, was no where to be found. "So What happened? Did they do anything?", L.E asked, urgently. "No, everything's fine. Luhan explained the situation to the leader. I left without saying much.", Rae said, rolling her eyes at the over reaction. "You know that's not the end of things. We've come in contact with them already. Something's bound to happen, whenever.", Miri said in a glum voice. She was never the one to be pessimistic about something. She just had a gut feeling that something would happen- bad or good. "Don't worry guys. It was just a one time thing. We didn't do anything to them and they...didn't do anything to us. Not directly at least.", Rae said and ended the discussion. "I'm leaving. I have to get home for dinner. See you guys at school tomorrow,". Rae added and left quickly as possible.
