Chapter 10

"Exactly! Romeo has to get past the Great Wall of Sunoo to get to you, Hannie," You said, eliciting a giggle from Hannah. 

---------------------

The three of you sat in the living room, anxious about what might happen. Hannah's left leg was bouncing up and down, trying to release some of her nerves. You placed your head onto Sunoo's shoulder, getting tired from waiting around for what seemed like hours. Your eyes slowly closing, as you drifted off. Sunoo moved his shoulder down a bit to make sure that you could sleep well. He turned to look at Hannah, who was getting increasingly nervous. She tapped on the side of her phone, zoning out. 

The sound of the doorbell brought Hannah out of her trance-like state, and rudely interrupted your nap. Your head lifted off Sunoo's shoulder, as he stood up to answer the door. Hannah walked behind him, and you followed both of them, still a little bit sleepy. 

Sunoo walked like he was on a mission, getting to the door before either you or Hannah even got out of the living room. He opened the door, and standing in front of him was Romeo. The young man looked at Sunoo, then looked behind to spot Hannah. He pushed past Sunoo, shutting the door on his way in. 

"Who's this?" Romeo asked Hannah, tilting his head towards Sunoo. 

"I'm Sunoo, Hannah's best friend." Sunoo said, with a hint of frustration in his voice. You could tell that the way Romeo was behaving would get on Sunoo's nerves. And to make matters worse, Sunoo had never had the pleasure of meeting Romeo before, which meant that this was their first impression of each other. 

Romeo looked at Sunoo, up and down, then scoffed before turning back to look at Hannah. Then his eyes flicked to see you, standing behind her. 

"Oh great, she's here too...How many times have I told you, Hannah, I don't like her, and you shouldn't either..." Romeo said, walking towards Hannah. He looked down, reaching for her hand. 

"You don't tell her what to do," Sunoo said, trying to stay as calm as possible. 

Romeo raised his head, and turned to look at Sunoo again. Hannah looked back at you, then down at her wrist which Romeo had held, then back at you. You noticed that he was gripping onto Hannah really hard, almost like he was trying to control her movements. 

"And, you don't tell me what to do, got it?" Romeo angrily stated, causing Sunoo to flinch.

He began tugging Hannah behind him as he walked towards the door. Hannah yelled out in pain, as her wrist was being dragged against her will. She tried to refuse to move forward, but Romeo was too strong for her. You ran towards Hannah, trying to grab onto her, but Romeo grabbed a flower vase, throwing it towards you. Before you could react, your body hit the floor. You winced, as the pain grew more intense when you tried to get up. Before you knew it, your vision was going blurry and you could feel that your head was bleeding. 

"Romeo, please..." Hannah pleaded, tears falling onto her clothes as she saw her best friend lying unconscious on the floor. She tried to move towards you, pulling with all her might. But Romeo ignored her, dragging her away from you with no mercy. Sunoo, seeing what was happening in front of him, moved to stand between Romeo and the door. He was afraid, but he knew that he had to step in and try help Hannah.

"Move, kid!" Romeo spat, trying to get past Sunoo. But Sunoo refused to move, standing firmly in front of the door. Instead of using his words again, Romeo shoved Sunoo with his free hand. Sunoo's body went flying to the side, where his shoulder bashed into the wall. He cried out in pain and he collapsed onto the floor. The wall next to him had crumbled in, from the pressure of the hit. Even through the pain, he tried to hold onto Hannah. Romeo noticed Sunoo's attempt, and raised his leg, kicking Sunoo's abdomen. 

You regained consciousness from hearing Sunoo's pained cries, but your vision was still blurry. You tried to raise your head to see in front of you. Sunoo was on the floor, clutching onto his stomach as he whimpers from the pain. You could see Romeo reach for the door, as Hannah struggled to pull herself away from him. You felt ashamed, not being able to do anything to protect your friend. Romeo's hand inched closer to the door, and you finally heard the creaking sound of the door opening. 

But instead of hearing footsteps, you heard a familiar voice. 

"y/n, I wanted to come here to apologi-" The man's voice was cut off, as he realised he was talking to a stranger.
