Hana's pov...
______________
I saw them all leave for their so-called "investigation" To that crime scene. I didn't bother to stop them, after all, their life, their choice.
As classes got over, I walked through the hallway.
I didn't miss the looks of a batch of another students that eyed me, I knew exactly what they were thinking.
It wasn't so safe now for me or my sister, and I knew that. But I couldn't resort to anything yet.
I went down the stairs and to my sister's class, she was laughing while painting along with her friends. I couldn't help but watch her for a while.
Before I recorded a video of her. She just looked too adorable, laughing breathlessly while playing around.
I was just silently watching her, when her teacher noticed and waved at me. That snapped me out of my thoughts as I waved back and stepped forward into her class.
I pushed open the door.
"Adrianna, your sister is here." Her teacher called her. I raised up my hand to dismiss it.
"It's fine. Do you want to play more?" I asked Adrianna to which she nodded while breathing heavily from the laughing.
"Mimi, mimi, cat." She patted me and pointed at her scribbles on the canvas.
I chuckled seeing those random lines and scribbled paint on the canvas that she called a cat.
"That's an amazing cat." I ruffled her hair.
"Mummy, can I play more?" She asked hugging me.
"Sure, carry on. I'll come back to get you, okay? Don't leave anywhere on your own." I hugged her back and kissed her cheek.
"Yay!!! Okay mummy. Mummy happy?" She asked with joy as I nodded.
"Mummy happy." I smiled as I looked at her.
"Mimi happy, baby happy." Her usual line that always managed to flatter me.
"Baby happy, mimi happy."
I whispered back because it would be embarrassing if the rest heard it, I gave her a last hug before she went off to play again with her friends.
I went to her teacher to talk.
"Miss." I called out.
"Yes, Hana?" She came up to me as well.
"I'm gonna go for a while, don't let Adrianna go anywhere. I'll come for her myself, you know I don't send anyone to get her. Okay?"
I was really serious by which she sensed something was off.
"Okay, Hana. Everything fine?" She asked concerned.
"Everything's fine. Call me if anyone says I sent them to get her." I sighed.
"Okay. Don't worry." The teacher nodded before I left with a last look at Adrianna. My gut screamed at me to not go but well. I had to.
I left her classroom after scanning around. I went outside the high school and went to the place where the rest went, for the stupid investigation.

A hand was placed on Su Jin's shoulder. As she turned to look back at who it was with a jolt of surprise, there stood.... Kangsoo.
"What are you doing here?" He took his hand off as he saw her jolt away in surprise and fear.
"Ah, you scared me. Nothing, just looking around here." She replied as she resumed.
"What is that?" Kangsoo pointed at the footprints.
"I'm not sure, that's what I was looking at." Su Jin resumed going forward to check on ahead but Kangsoo held her hand.
"Wait. Don't go alone." He spoke seriously maintaining eye contact with Su Jin.
"Then come along?" She scoffed.
"What? Too scared to tag along?"
"You're ridiculously maddening, did you know that?" Kangsoo was pissed off by Su Jin's snarky comment.
"What? Did I lie? Aren't you scared?" She carried on. Before Kangsoo could speak, Su Jin's attention shifted.
"Oh wow. Now what is she here for?" She scoffed as she turned to face Hana who didn't even glance at Su Jin nor Kangsoo.
She walked straight inside the building, the rest of them inside were surprised to see Hana there.
"Hey, what's up?" Yunjae got no reply.
"Hana, everything good? Why did you come?" Minsu questioned but was hit with silence.
Hana quietly and silently looked around the building from the outside first. A complete round of the building, noting every detail in her mind as she kept her hands in her pockets, before she entered the building and looked around.
"What's up with her?" Taejun asked Yunjae.
"She knows a lot about forensic psychology, just stay quiet." Yunjae whispered.
"I doubt that. She's too young to know all that." Minha earned a hum from Gamin and glare from Yunjae.
"And how well do you three know her?" Yunjae scoffed as she glared at all three.
"Damn, chill out." Gamin rolled his eyes, before they could continue, Hana started heading back out.
"Let's go." She said to no one in specific as she headed out.
"Where? We didn't even see around." Kangsoo intervened but earned no reply from Hana as she silently just walked out without looking at anyone.
"What the hell is wrong with her?" Taejun walked up to go to Hana and turn her around forcefully.
Before he reached her, her phone rang and she picked it up. Silence everywhere. Before Hana immediately started running as fast as possible.
"What the fuck?" Gamin and the rest were confused, except one who knew exactly what it was...

Back at school...

Back at school, the batch of kids from earlier that stared at Hana went to her sisters class. They opened the door as the attention was now on them.
"Yes? Who are you?" The teacher asked as she scanned the faces of the boys and girls that just entered the classroom.
"Heyy, miss choi. It's me." Woobin entered the classroom.
"Oh, hey woobin. What brings you here?" The teacher asked the student who's neighbors daughter would be in the same class.
"I was here to pick up Lia and Adrianna." Woobin itched his forehead. "Adrianna? Why her?" The teacher frowned.
"Hana asked me to get her because she got into trouble with the cops." He said as he looked at the two.
"With the cops? What? What happened? How? She just left." Miss choi bombarded with questions.
"Speeding, you know how she is. Anyways. I have call logs here, you can check that out too." Woobin passed his phone to her and it had Hana's call there.
"But she just told me to not let her sister go with anyone." Miss choi became hesitant after seeing the call logs.
"Do you not trust me? Come on. You know me so well, I'm hurt." Woobin sighed.
"It's not about trust. It's about property. Hana entrusted me." Miss choi spoke.
"Look, if she has a problem, and asked me, what's wrong in that? Besides you have my number, she does, you know me as well, I'm not some random stranger."
Miss choi didn't know what to say. But in the end. Accepted.
"Fine, but take her home safely."
Woobin nodded. "Don't worry about it."
"Lia, Adrianna, go with Woobin." Miss choi said to the little girls.
"No, mimi say no stranger go." Adrianna crossed her arms and huffed.
"She said don't go with strangers." Miss Choi sighed as she murmured that.
"Adrianna, uncle will take you to mummy, okay? Hurry up now." Miss choi said as it took a lot of convincing for Adrianna to leave crying.
"Hey, take her away." Woobin said to Pi Han Li regarding Lia.
"Where do I send her even, the fuck?" Pi Han asked.
"Just do as told." Ji Ho rolled her eyes.
"Isn't he being too moody?" Si Ran eyed Pi Han as she stayed on her phone.
"Let's just shut up and head on." Woobin sighed as he kept walking while holding Adrianna's hand and Lia's.
"Should we send her home?" Qingdao asked as he ran a hand through his hair.
"Just take her away. Put her in the cafeteria with some snacks or whatever the fuck these idiots would take." Woobin said as he left Lia behind and kept walking.
Pi Han held Lia and went to the cafeteria, changing his path midway, he got her some chips and a pack of juice.
"Thank you uncle." She said with a smile as Pi Han made her sit at a side and left her there.
As Woobin, Qingdao, Ji Ho and Si Ran reached their place, Pi Han catching up. They threw Adrianna on the ground in that alleyway, making her cry. Ji Ho slapped Adrianna making her cry a lot more.
"Just shut up. Do these things ever shut the fuck up?" Ji Ho scoffed before Si Ran slapped Adrianna too.
"For real though. Anyways. How much do we ask for?" Qingdao asked Woobin.
"5k?" Woobin asked to which Pi Han scoffed.
"She's from a rich family, at least ask for a million." Pi Han leaned against the wall.
"A million? Seriously? That's too much." Qingdao was skeptical.
"Two million?" Woobin looked at their faces which were drop dead serious.
"That's what we're talking about!!!! Big brains. Come on, now ask." They got excited as Woobin called Hana.
After a few rings, she picked up the call.
"Hey there, Hana. You may or may not know me, but-... Hello? Hello? The fuck?" Woobin backed the phone from his ear to look at it.
"She ended the call? Bro the fuck? Call her again." Pi Han said surprised.
"Who the hell cuts off such a call?" Qingdao was confused too.

Hana's POV...
_______________
After taking a view around the entire building. I understood a lot.
"Let's go." I said to no one in specific and knew no one would follow.
I kept walking, ignoring what they said because I didn't have time for their nonsensical bullshit. Just when I was about to leave, I got a call.
"Hey there, Hana. You may or may not know me but." I ended the call.
The sound of my sister crying loudly in the background was enough for me to hear and know.
I didn't waste a single second and immediately ran to school. As I entered the building.
I quickly went on my phone to track down my sister, I had a GPS in her clothes and necklace.
I tracked her down and rushed to the spot.
At a far distance behind me, Yunjae, Minsu, Kyungsoo, and Gamin followed, I was aware but I was focused solely on my sister.
I went to the backdoor which was a short cut to the alleyway, or else it would take me 10 minutes.
I opened the door, it was locked.
"Fuck..." I muttered. Before I stepped away from it and then rushed to it, kicking the door. It didn't quite open but did make a sound.
I looked around and grabbed the fire extinguisher, I slammed it on the door handle a few times as it broke open.
As soon as it broke open. I rushed out immediately, one minute maximum and I reached the alleyway. Panting I spotted Qingdao, Woobin, Pi Han, Ji Ho and Si Ran.
Adrianna sitting against the wall, crying silently as they scolded her to shut up. A sad pout with big eyes overflowing with tears.
My heart felt like it got ripped out of my body as I saw the look on her face, as soon as she spotted me. She started sobbing loudly.
"Mummy. Aunty slap baby." She cried loudly before Ji Ho slapped Adrianna again and Si ran nudged Adrianna's head.
"You fucking bitch!!!!!" I yelled as loud as I could.
The rage taking over me, I couldn't bear the sight of my sister being abused, by a stranger, in front of me.

Third person POV...

As Hana arrived at the scene, her anger bubbled over, and she yelled at the top of her lungs.
"Lower it, bitch," Pi Han snapped.
"Don't you dare fucking touch her," Hana growled, eyes blazing. "Or what?" Woobin scoffed.
"Empty threat. Pretty cute," Qingdao smirked, stepping forward as Ji Ho scoffed and Si Ran kicked Adrianna again.
Hana had had enough. Patience was no longer an option.
She stormed toward them, clutching a broken lighter in her fist — not usable for fire, but enough to do damage.
She threw a punch at Pi Han, who easily predicted and dodged it — exactly what Hana wanted. As he moved to the side, she used the moment to trip him with her leg, then yanked him down by the hair.
Without hesitation, she slammed his face into the ground repeatedly until Qingdao and Woobin's smug expressions vanished.
"Crazy bitch," Woobin muttered, stepping up as Pi Han's face started bleeding.
He rushed forward, grabbed Hana by the hair, and yanked her off Pi Han before throwing her hard against the wall.
The impact wasn't as bad thanks to the backpack she was wearing.
Gritting her teeth, she quickly scanned the surroundings and the enemies closing in. She saw Woobin lunge at her for a kick.
She rolled onto her back, avoiding it, and grabbed Qingdao's leg as she stood. Lifting it sharply, she sent him falling face-first onto the pavement.
She didn't let go. Instead, she twisted his leg sharply, making him scream a guttural cry of pain. Woobin charged at her again, but as he raised his fist to punch, she ducked.
In one fluid move, she jumped with all her force on top of Qingdao and used that elevation to land a brutal kick to Woobin's groin.
He let out a loud groan of pain and crouched down, hands between his legs. She followed with a kick straight to his face, knocking him down flat.
Before she could regain her stance, she was lifted off Qingdao by the waist — Pi Han again.
Instinctively, she planted her hands on his shoulders and used the leverage to lift her body, slamming her knee into his jaw with powerful force.
He dropped, and Hana fell back, her backpack once again cushioning the blow.
She wasn't done.
She twisted Qingdao's foot, yanked Pi Han's arm in a brutal wrench, then turned to Woobin — slamming his face into the ground repeatedly until blood smeared the pavement.
That's when Ji Ho took the chance to run away with Adrianna.
Si Ran yanked Hana off of Woobin and slapped her. Hana didn't waste a second.
She landed a punch straight to Si Ran's lower stomach — her uterus — making Si Ran gasp sharply and collapse.
Hana didn't stop.
She ran straight after Ji Ho, heart pounding, breath uneven, panting, throat dry, vision blurred, blood rushing— But stopped at what she saw ahead of her...
