`when you start to fall in love, you become a stronger person.
you learned that there was more to give than it is to receive
you learned that it may tore you into pieces, but still you didn't gave up
you learned that love has helped you to grow mature.`

lost in the big city.

"ouch!" a girl yelped as soomi accidentally stepped on her feet "sorry.." soomi bowed down as the girl gave her an annoyed look,then walked away. Soomi gulped in and tried to walk the opossite direction.

She struggled to get through the endless sea of humans "aishh.." soomi goraned. her small body was squished between some japanese teenagers causing soomi to stumble, knocked by shopping bags and attacked with fierce hand nudging *someone get me out of here!* Soomi felt dizzy inside the crowd as she tried to get to the sides. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

HOYA

"finally.. out of the crowd!" hoya cheered. he looked behind him as myungsoo and tiffany struggled to get out from the crowd "ouch.. " tiffany rubbed her right arms "these people are seriously rude" she cussed "

hyung.. soomi's not here yet?" myungsoo asked. hoya blinked his eyes "isn't she behind you?" he asked back "no.." myungsoo shook his head. hoya furrowed his eyes, searching for soomi among the crowd

"i thought she's in the front with you.." myungsoo and tiffany turned around to find her among the endless sea of humans.

 "let's just call her" myungsoo suggested. hoya quickly opened his phone and dialed in her number *the number you are calling is not reachable.. please..* "aishh! where is that girl?" hoya gritted his teeth *soomi where are you?* he ran back inside the crowd, searching for soomi.

he couldn't find her, then he saw a girl with the same features of soomi "soomi!" he reached for her hand as the girl turned around "who are you?" the girl hissed and shook his hands off "sorry.. wrong person" hoya quickly searched again

"Soomi! where are you?! soomi!!" he screamed but heard no response. *where are you?* he furrowed his eyebrow, panted. he was sweating hard "soomi-ah.. where the hell are you..?" 

 Hoya reached for his phone again, dialling a number "hello? Ms. Lee? this is hoya" he said, panting hard. "oh my gosh.. where are you?" ms. lee asked concernly "you need to get back to the meeting point now.. everyone else have gathered here" she looked back at the students as they chattered in their groups

"ms. lee.. soomi's missing. i can't contact her" he said slowly "what?! Soomi's missing?!" ms. lee screamed, loud enough for the crowd to hear them. sunggyu, jieun and l.joe shifted their eyes at ms.lee.

 "soomi's missing..?" jieun bit her lips, her eyes were teary "gwenchana.. we'll find her.." sunggyu patted her back, trying to calm jieun down. l.joe ran towards ms lee "soomi's missing?!" he was panicked "is that l.joe?" hoya asked

"l.joe..?" she asked "byunghyun" hoya said annoyedly "oh okay.." ms lee said "let me talk to him" he demanded, ms.lee passed the phone to him "where is she?! where are you now?!" l.joe screamed

"shibuya.. aish! stop screaming! you're making me deaf!" hoya screamed back "aish!" l.joe hang up the phone as he left the crowd

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

L.JOE

"I should've followed them to shibuya.. " l.joe hissed. he was following soomi's group until they reached shibuya but then group 5 called him, asking for direction.

l.joe, as the tour leader in charge, helped them getting into their areas and leaving soomi's group behind. now he regretted that choice "soomi.. where could she be?" l.joe quickly hopped on a bus to shibuya.

He got a glance of myungsoo and tiffany, he approached them fast "where's hoya?" he asked, the two pointed at the crowd "aish.. " l.joe quickly turn around "her phone is off!" myungsoo quickly screamed as l.joe dissapeared into the crowd for the search of Soomi.

"SOOMI!!!" l.joe screamed on the top of his lungs. some people lookedat him, startled but he didn't care. he ran through the crowd, searching for the girl he cared most *i will find you.. i will find you, soomi*

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

SOOMI

 "aishh.. I dont know where the hell am i.." she looked around for the area, seaching for the tourist counter but she couldnt find it anywhere *grumble* soomi quickly held in her stomach "i'm so hungry.." she walked her ways to the pavement and go inside a small alley to get rid of the sea of peoples.

"where are the fast food restaurants? there are only fashion shops here.." she peeked behind her but couldnt spot any *maybe on the other side of the alley, there are restaurants* she positively thought. Without any other thoughts, she walked in the alley 

 She took out her phone in hopes that miracles does happens *please be on please be on please be on* she closed her eyes as she flipped her phone open "aishh! what am i hoping for.." she cussed about to throw her dead phone on the road *stupid phone* she huffed and stomped her ways to the other side of the alley. 

As she thought, this east side of shibuya have lots of restaurants. Soomi's eyes lit up as she grinned, forgeting the fact that she was lost alone in an unfamiliar country "yipiiee~ burger king!" she hyperly beamed, leaping towards the restaurant.

"what do you want to order?" the guy asked in japanese "ne..?" soomi eyes widened. the guy repeated but it only causes more confusions for her *if only i can speak japanese.. i at japanese!* she bit her lips.

 The counter guy confusely tried to say it in english "What.. you.. " he searched for the menu and managed to find one under the counter, putting it out on the cashier "Eat..?" he did body gestures too, pointing at the menu.

soomi seemed to undestand what he meant *hmm.. let's see* she rolled over the menu "hamburger! Large!"soomi pointed out the picture of a double cheese burger "one?" he asked "hai (yes)!" she beamed. 'hai' was the only japanese word she managed to remember

*phew.. who knew getting food was that hard* she sighed relieved

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 she sat on the corner, bringing her food along with her. she started to chomp into her food *delicous~* she grinned. after a few minutes, she finally finished her jumbo cheeseburger *so full* she lazily slid down, rubbing her full stomach

"wait----what time is it now?" she quickly remembered the curfew, searching for the clock on the shop *! 6.30! i passed the curfew!* she quickly stood up and ran outside. she decided to go back to the other side of shibuya.

as she ran for the other side of shibuya, she accidentally bumped  into a group of boys, 5 boys to be exact "hey watch it!" the boys screamed as soomi fell on her back  "owowowow.." she rubbed her back slowly as she hissed in pain. the boys looked at her pissed

"sorry!" soomi said in korean then quickly closed *what's sorry in japanese?* before she could figure it out, the boys has whispered to each other, putting on a smirk and dragged her into the alley.

"shh.. we won't hurt you" one of the boys grabbed her hand, soomi was about to scream and struggled to release herself but the boys had closed "don't be scared". soomi gulped in *help me!*

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 they brought her to a small alley, the dark small alley that connects the west shibuya and the east shibuya. the brown haried guy pushed her to the wall as soomi slid down and crushed her back onto the hard pavement "ouch.." she softly hissed, one of the boys approached her. 

soomi had nowhere to run to, she only trembled in fear "you're korean aren't you?" he said in a perfect korean accent  *he's korean too?* , lifting her chin up. soomi didn't say anything and only shivered, she gulped in before she could answer him "i.. i.. i'm sorry.." she squaked

"you think sorry is enough?" the chestnut coloured hair snapped "do.. do you want money? i.. i can give it to you" soomi reached out for her wallet and give it to him, avoiding his eyes

 "i want more than what inside that wallet.." he pushed the wallet back to her *someone please get me out of here!* soomi was too scared to be here "what do you want..?" she slowly asked "you want to know?" the boy smirked

"baby.. youre so cute when you look at me like that" he winked as he ran his fingers through her hair. soomi heart was unstabile, she shivered as goosebumbs crawled onto her body

*eep too close* she backed off but he pulled her closer" i like girls like you.. acting innocent all the way through.. i know you want me.." he cupped her neck and leaned in closer "i don't------" before she could finish talking, the boy has crushed his lips upon hers, forcing a kiss *what the f--------?!* soomi eyes widened as he quickly pushed him

"you're sweet" he smiled, don't know what to do, soomi landed a slap on his face, accidentally, it caused his face to bleed by the scratch of her nails. his friends gasped, sending soomi an alarmed face. *blood...* soomi eyes widened in terror.

The boy slowly reach his hand on his face, tracing the blood dripping on his left cheek. he glared at soomi, sending her a fierce look "you bit--" he was about to land a slap on her face, soomi closed her eyes, waiting for the slap to approached her.

but then, she didn't felt anything. instead she heard a quick cursing from the boy, soomi slowly opened her eyes. "jerk!!!" a figure of a man stood infront of her, landing fierce, violent punches to the jerk who kissed her earlier, the other boys gasped "he couldn't be.." they pointed at him.

 "who are you?!!" the boy screamed "did you forget me?" the unknown figure said, the boy looked at him and shook his head "you couldn't be l.joe right?" his eyes widened *L.joe?* soomi gasped.

"you jerk! what did you do to her?! you really have the guts to kiss her, you bastard!!" l.joe landed another strong punch on his face as the boy started to spit blood out of his mouth

"L.joe oppa! stop!" soomi ran and stopped the uncontrollable l.joe. l.joe glared at him but then he stopped when soomi started to cry "stop.." she sobbed.

 "! L.joe.. you're gonna pay for this!" the boy tried to go against l.joe, but one of his friend stopped him "hyung let's go" he whispered, trying to bring his hyung out of the mess "shut up chunji" he cussed, shooking off chunji.

he wiping the blood on his lips and smirked "so this is the legendary l.joe we've been searching for.. the murderer bastard" he smirked, l.joe's face turned furious "hyung!" his friends hissed, trying to stop him.

 "don't. call. me. that. jerk" l.joe quickly landed his most violent punch as the leader fell on the floor ".." he hissed, trying to stand up again. the other boys tried to stop him, but failed. he ran towards l.joe and punched his stomach.

l.joe dropped to the floor "you've weakened up.." the boy said proudly, looking at l.joe pitifully "is it because of this girl?" the boy looked at soomi then pulled her to his side, soomi shivered "l.joe oppa.." a soft, scared voice escaped her lips.

l.joe quickly stood up "don't touch her with your dirty hands hole" l.joe glared at him as he approached him "stop right there or i'll do something terrible to her" l.joe stopped in instant as he watched the boy ran his fingers around her waist, soomi shivered "stop.." l.joe begged

"what did you say?" the boy teased, striking a victory smirk "i said stop!!" he swiftly ran towards him and did a high kick, landed on his head, knocking him down, soomi yelped as he saw the boy bleed and fell onto the floor

 "!!" the boy screamed, he felt his head, bleeding hard "i'm going to kill you l.joe.." he glared a t him "stop.. stop..!" soomi yelped but the boy crawled onto l.joe "i kill you first" he said merciless.

before the boy could lay another hand on l.joe, his friends have stopped him "let's go Minsoo hyung.. " the other boys hissed, dragging their bleeding leader out of the crowd "darn you l.joe. bastard. i'm going to kill you next time" he threatened him as the boys left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

for another second, soomi felt weak all of the sudden as she fell on her knees "blood.." she eyed the trace of blood on the pavement, shivering as l.joe quickly pulled her into his embrace "don't see.." he closed her eyes with his hands, he could feel her wet tears drowning out from her eyes "everything's allright now.." he softly said

he pushed her head onto his shoulder, letting her leaning on his broad chest. l.joe softly patted her head "it's allright soomi.. oppa's here. there's no more blood.. everything's allright" he repeated. soomi sobbed in his embrace as l.joe slowly lead her out into the gleaming main street of shibuya.

"oppa is here, soomi. i'm always here.."
