Chapter Seventeen

I wake up to a Mingi poking me in the cheek "Come on sleepy-head we have to eat. We can get more sleep later deal?" he says putting out his hand which I shake and smile giggling at how adorable he was. He helps me out of bed he gives me a piggyback ride into the kitchen which made me giggle all the way there. "Someone is in a good mood" we hear from Yunho. I smile at him as Mingi puts me down smiling too. "How can I not just get a piggyback ride into the kitchen." San smiles but he looks I do not know jealous maybe. Mingi sits beside me on one side and Jongho on the other. We all eat and before the boys leave for school, I hear Seonghwa being serious with Mingi making sure to tell him to watch after me.

After they all leave Mingi looks at me with a smile "want to go get out of here for a while?" I nod to which he responds get dressed and we go off to our rooms to get ready. I put on a black pair of shorts and white t shirt and go out to meet Mingi. I have one headphone in and he has the other after we get down the stairs we are just walking around and while we are walking around Mingi is rapping to the songs we are listening to after he is done rapping I clap and woo for him to which he just bows and says thank you. We walk to a café and I sit down while Mingi gets us something to drink, I giggle at him while I see these girls that are just so obviously flirting with him and he just smiles and talks to them and then gets our drinks and sits down with me. "They were flirting with you, did you get their numbers?" I ask smiling at him and he just looks at me mouth gaping open "NO THEY WERENT!" he almost yells. I slap my hands on his mouth to keep him from causing a scene. "So loud, you could always go back and get their number. I believe in you! Fighting!" I say to him pushing him away from the table to the girls while watching him go to them. He looks so nervous but gets the girls number to which he thumbs ups me and I just giggle at his adorableness. He comes back "would it be okay if I hung out with them for a bit and you go back to the house or just stay nearby?" he looks at me with the most adorable pouty face that I couldn't say no to. He laughs and walks off after high fiving me then goes to the girl and off they go. I sit there for a while and then decide to go outside and walk around a bit and find a park that is not too far away and sit on a bench listening to music. I am incredibly tired considering I have not walked this much at all since before I was hurt. I want a nap, but I must get back to the apartment but then I realize I do not actually know where it is. I panic a little bit because the rest of the boys do not get off for 4 hours. I text Mingi asking if he can text me directions but after 30 minutes, I still do not get a response. I try not to panic but I do I walk my way back to the café looking for Mingi and he is not there.

I leave and walk back best I could and still cannot find it and have no idea where I am. I am so tired I do not know how much more of this walking I can do. I take deep breathes and start walking very slowly to anywhere trying to figure out where I am. After what feels like forever and after I am feeling like death I sit down on the ground against a wall and take a minute bringing my knees to my chest putting my head down and trying to stay calm and not cry. After a little bit I get a tap on my shoulder and look up to see a cute guy brown hair, quite tall with an adorable smile. I swear he looked like Shinwon from Pentagon, but I could not swear to it. "Are you okay?" he asks. I shake my head "I am a bit lost. Do you know where Stary Café is?" I ask him. He nods "yes I do I can walk with you there if you want, I was heading there anyway." He offers me a hand up and I take it and he smile at me the whole time. "I am Ko Shin won just so you know you are not walking with a creepy stranger." He smiles and waves at me. "Hi, I am Kim Hirami nice to meet you." We walk to the café and it was pretty far away I somehow got turned all the way around and had no idea how I got there. We both order our drinks after he insisted, he pays for me after my many refusals he sneakily paid for it and we sit down and start talking. "So, if you do not mind me asking what you were doing all alone on the ground?" he asks concerned sounding. I look down at the table "My friend that I was with got a date and we separated but I didn't realize I don't actually know how to get back to our place so I was just wondering around and did not realize I was lost until it was too late." I say laughing at the last bit. He looks at me and ruffles my hair "how could anyone leave you alone? You're too cute!" I blush at his compliment. "Thank you, I just want to say you look an awful lot like Shinwon from Pentagon. It is quite frustrating" He smiles "well I am but shh don't want to be hoarded" he laughs. "Do you want to come with me to meet the rest of the members while you wait for your friends?" he asks me. I am not really sure what if Mingi comes back looking for me? The reality is I cannot really walk too much more I am exhausted and today has been a nightmare. "thank you and as much as I would love to take you up on your offer, I really think I should wait for my friend here." I say smiling at him trying to be as convincing as possible. "Here" he gives me his phone unlocked "Put your number in and we can all hang out sometimes and you can even bring your friends" he says smiling and I put my number in and save me as random lost girl makes him laugh. "Cute" he says, "it was nice to meet you Himari, text me if your friend doesn't show up and makes you wait too long I will come kidnap you for fun!" He says shooting hearts at me. I smile ear from ear capturing his hearts. "Thank you Shinwon I will do" and with that he leaves, and I start to panic again. The guys should be back from school soon and if we are not home then they might worry I really hope Mingi texts me or calls or comes back to the Café soon.

After waiting what feels like 20 minutes, I decide to leave the café and walk back to the park and find a bench to sit on. If I am here for a long time, then nobody will suspect me being a weirdo or anything. I feel myself dozing off on the bench after some time when my phone starts ringing, and I look at the caller ID and see San and immediately pick up. Yawning I manage a "Hello?" and on the other end "Hirami? Where are you and Mingi?" he sounds worried. I don't want Mingi to get in trouble, but I really want to go home. I am going to pass out on this bench if I stay here too much longer. "um..I am at a park by Stary Café..." There is silence then I hear him talking to someone to which I assume is the others and a frustrated groan "Where is Mingi?" he asks. "I asked him to leave me here for a while. I wanted to get out for a bit, so I really do not know." I say to him. "That guy. Do not move we are coming to get you." He says to me and hangs up. Thankful that I am being rescued I do everything in my power not to fall asleep but just as I start to doze off I hear a "I think she fell asleep hyung" I feel someone shake me softly. "hey, you, want a piggyback ride home?" I open my eyes and look at San and Yunho, and Seonghwa. "where are the others?" I ask. "out looking for Mingi." They almost say simultaneously. I nod my head and San helps me on Yunho's back and off to the house we go. I fall asleep on Yunho's back exhausted from the day. I hear them talking but I cannot make out anything they are saying. When we get back to the house Yunho wakes me up and they all force me to eat something though my eyes are so heavy I can't really eat, and I keep falling asleep during the feeding. I feel someone pick me up and I snuggle into their chest and they take me somewhere and I feel them sit down and I don't know what happens after that because I just pass out.

San POV

When we got home, we both notice that it is too quiet, so we think maybe they are sleeping and we go and check the rooms and they are not there. I call Hirami and she immediately picks up. "Hello" she says. "Hirami, where are you and Mingi?" I say worried. She takes a minute to respond. "Um..I am at a park by Stary Café.." She draws out sounding tired. "where's Mingi?" I ask frustrated. "I asked him to leave me here for a while" She says, and it takes everything in me not to lose it. I look at the others and tell them what she said Seonghwa says "let's go get her, split up someone try to find Mingi, try to get ahold of him or something and we will go get Himari and bring her home. I put the phone back to my ear "That guy, do not move we are coming to get you." I say and hang up and we all leave the house. We walk to the park by Stary Café we split up Hongjoong, Jongho, Yeosang, and Wooyoung go find Mingi while Seonghwa, Yunho and me go find Hirami. We all look around for a bit till Yunho spots someone on a bench close to the water and we run over and see her sitting there and it looks like she is going to sleep. I gently start to wake her up "hey you, do you want a piggyback ride home?" I ask her smiling. She wakes up and smiles instantly seeing us and nods her head. Seonghwa and me help her onto Yunho's back and it seems almost instantly she falls asleep. "Why would he just leave her all alone?" I ask them both. Seonghwa looks at me "I do not know but I am going to scold him when I see him if he is okay" he says with a scowl on his face. Yunho just looks like his normal self now that we have Hirami and she is okay minus some sleepiness. When we get home we try to get her to eat but she can't seem to keep her eyes open so I just pick her up bridal style and she snuggles into my chest and take her to her room and sit on her bed holding her letting her sleep. I brush her hair out of her eyes and watch her sleep for a bit. "You don't know this yet, but I would do anything for you. I hate seeing you sad or hurt. I promise to always protect you and make sure you are always happy and smiling. I promise" I say to her sleeping form and kiss her head.
