"Alex Thanks for today i didn't know you would raised your hand just for me" She's relieved because Alex volunteered on taking her to the group even though he didnt discussed it with the other members.

/Flashback

As the time goes on the silence still kept on going. "im gonna asked you all one last time, Who's gonna take Jane to their group?" not a single voice or movement felt in the room.

"She just transferred half of the year so it wont be bad having her. she might be great at some sports if you don't decide to get her." as the teacher kept waiting for someone to raised or talked about having her. none of the students gave a sign to take their teacher's advice to let Jane join the group.

As time flies Alex is bothered because of how his classmates doesn't trust the New kid when she just transferred at the half of the year. they think that she's lacked of energy-efficient or she's not well at physical activity.

As the room was full of silence. their teacher asked them for the last time before class would end. "this is the last time im going to asked. if you won't take her I'll assign her to the othe-" as she cut off her words.

She saw someone raised their hand. " Ms. Han i would like to take jane to our group" Alex ended the silence becaude he wad pissed off on how their classmates were having 2nd doubts about taking her.

"Alex. thats good, have you discussed this to your group?" as she curiously asked the student. as Alex responds "No ma'am but im the leader of the group." as he proudly said that to a teacher.

As the class continued. many students were confused about Alex behavior. He a type of person who wouldn't just take someone to their group. as a 9 year old athletic mind many kids know that his father was one of the countrymen who fought for the National world cup. (He's Dad is basically play a lot of sports but his Dad and his professionalism in every sports. He chooses to be a basketball player due to his height)

/Present

"Uh.... don't mention it" Suddenly regret taking her. "But you know mommy told me that i ran faster when im frustrated on soemthing hehe" she proudly told that to him. "ohhhh, keep up the good work then." while walking throughout the main hall.

Jane didn't have any thoughts about his Father being an athlete but the only thing she knew is that. Alex choose her for the group because that's how FRIENDS would do she never really thought Alex would raised his hand just for Jane.

Meanwhile there's Alex having 2nd thoughts about taking Jane to his group. "Hey aren't you going home?" While taking his shoes of from his locker. "Uh.. i dont know the way back home since i got lost this morning hehe" Finally woke up from daydreaming again.

Jane notice that Alex was changing his shoes to sports. "are you going somewhere?" curiously asked. " Im heading to my Dad's so call someone from your house to get you." while packing up his stuff. "My mommy would be busy or preparing our dinner by now. so i can go home on my own." A sudden fighting spirit and confidence that wouldn't get lost again. "it's getting late, I should go babye Alex" Happily waved at him.

At the same time seeing how Jane leave with that confidence with this time alex still hesitating on seeing how she can get home on her own. (*can she find her way home?.... i think she can.....*) as the thought came in he didnt really care if she can get home or not but the problem to it. was Jane is always on Daydream land and she's a stubborn one to begin with.

(*C'mon Alex it doesn't concern you leave her..... wait... all by herself? right?..... then what if sh-*) as he thought of saying being a girl at a young age who isn't aware of her surroundings. without think of it Alex instantly followed Jane on the way home. (Things would be ok right? if i can just follow her and see if she can get home right*) he's thinking of that while hiding behind the pole. (*then what if someone asked her where she live maybe i can trust that person....*) still following her and hiding behind a newspaper.

As they walked in a distant. Jane is numb so practically She doesn't know whether she was being followed or not. meanwhile a concerned cold beast was following her they ended up in an alley full of Highschool students and Jane thought she was going on a right path. She can tell because she saw the uniform earlier before she went off to school. (kids!)

As for Alex. (*Does she know where she's going?!..... this girl*) hiding behind a bunch of bushes. while He's on looking out for Jane. He noticed a bunch of delinquent of students coming towards Jane. Alex felt terrified as they saw Jane being held by some delinquents. (Wha...what...are they doing to a pre schooler?!... thats a kid. no wait! Jane doesn't have any money in her rig-*) He was caught off guard when he saw Jane taking out his wallet from her bag.

As Jane taking out the Money from the bag and happily gaving it to the students. he notice that Jane was pointing at something.

He noticed that Jane was pointing at the Workshop. Alex got frustrated and didn't know what to do.

He saw that the 2 guys was with her and the other guy with the money was the one who got in the workshop. (*WAIIIIIIT!... what is she doing?!... does she know them?!... Alex calm down make a plan for it....*) calmly clenched his hands and taking a deep breathe. He calmed himself down and being tackled up in a bushes. He put up all his might an strength to take Jane away from those High-schoolers.

It takes a while thinking about the plan to take Jane away from those High-schoolers and he didn't notice that the other person was already done picking the stuff that He needed. As soon as he gathered it all up. (*All right i can do this. I... I can do this.... I CAN DO THIS*) And he run for it.

He didn't look back. he just runs for it. (* I don't care if im the one they're gonna beat up. as long as Jane is running for it*) (dont underestimate a 9 year old boy.)

Jane didn't know what Alex was doing and she just continue to run away with him but more importantly she never thought Alex was there. (*Huh alex?.... what is he doing here?.....*). Jane thoughts came in.

they managed to run away and find a safest place they could hide. (* i think we lost them *hugh* now then*) Catching his breathe. "What are you doing with those kind of people?" angrily asked. "what people?..... ahh you mean those we-" as her sentence were cut off before she could finish.

"Do you know what will happened to you if you kept daydreaming like that?! you could have been hurt!.... learn to be aware of you're surroundings especially that kind of mindset you could have been hurt on you're way home what will your mom would do!!!" angrily shouts at her.

Jane started crying. " IM SORRY..... IM SORRY..." She kept saying sorry and Alex felt bad about shouting at her. "Sorry. where do you live? I'll take you home."

As the sun is almost set Alex didn't hesitate to take her home. as soon as they arrived at her house. Jane felt really safe and at the same time guilt for not being aware of her surroundings.

"By the way, how did you know i was there?" Jane curiously asked. "Uhhhh well.. i was on the same road as you so i thought i could say Hi." Secretly hiding the real reason.

Jane mother came out of the house. "Jane your here and...?" her mother saw Alex and Jane holding their hands together but Alex didn't notice so does Jane did.

"Goodevening Ms. Lee Im Alex Kim." Nervously introducing himself. "Ah Jane is he your boyfriend?" Jokingly asked her daughter. " wha.....?" she doesn't have a doubt what is a boyfriend was.

Alex was frustrated on hearing that. " Uhm no Ma'am I'm not her boyfriend..... I'm just her friend.... yeah" suddenly got frustrated. He still doesn't get what his mother's point was. Alex noticed that her mother was giving a sign about joking on the questiom but She also giving a sign about their hands.

Alex notice and immediately drop her hand. "haha you kids are cute why don't you come in first?" Laugh on seeing Alex reactions.

"It's already late ma'am im actually going to my father's house by now i should go first." he didnt know that it was already dark. so he rejected the invitation to head to his father's place. " Eh? stay for a while or eat something before you go. mommy cooked is the best" she's proud about it.

"My Dad is probably worried about me by now maybe next time Ms. Lee" Respectively rejected again.

He saw Alex wasn't having 2nd thoughts about it so she just let it be."ok if you say so. since it's late I'll asked Jane's brother to take you to you're father's house. but first where is he?" All worried because the brother didn't really get home late like this.

"Ah mommy i met brother earlier but Alex grab me and run away." Jane was laughing while telling her mother. " Huh why is tha-" Her mother was speechless when someon from afar scream her name.

and as soon as that person came closer Alex notice that it was the delinquent who's with Jane earlier. "Where have you been? how far is the workshop from going to school and getting home for?" curiously asked.

Alex was speechless when he saw that highschool person who entered the workshop.

"Mom someone took Jane awa-" Suddenly cut off when she saw Jane besides his mother. "But she was taken away by a kid earlier and i kept looking fo-" also cut off when he noticed Alex was behind him. "Thats him the one who to-" while unfinished sentence was cut off, He ready felt pain in the head. (He's been smackrd by his own mother because of his lousy reason).

"Brother the kid you were talking about was Alex hehe" (she doesn't read the atmosphere). " Oh right! Alex this is Joshua Jane's brother" Happy about it.

He was in silence when his mother introduced them together and as for the atmosphere comes by His aware that his brother looked like a delinquent and he still caught off guard and didn't know that was his brother and leave a bad expression to him.
