Chapter Ninteen
Smoke & Mirrors✤ Hana
“HANA!” Kai came barging into the room calling for me; Jongmin snickered and stepped back and out of the room. I felt more alarmed with Kai’s behavior especially when he asked if I was okay and scanned me with his eyes for injuries. “I’m fine Kai, I’m okay!” he looked back at Jongmin’s direction and nervously ran his hands through his hair that was falling perfectly on his forehead “I just called you couple of times and you didn’t answer.” He finally replied giving me his full attention once again “I don’t know, I thought something happened to you.” He said quietly. I nodded slowly “I’m fine, I was just sorting my stuff and I think I left my phone at my aunt’s.”

“And she’s not a stranger, she’s my girl.”
