-The Morning Incident-

"So...you are skipping class to get some fresh air? That is a bullshit excuse." M-21 said as he watches Seikatsu sweep the leaves into a pile. Seikatsu was helping the older man clean outside the building. More so, she had seen M-21 shirtless in his bedroom earlier this morning. The moment was awkward and Seikatsu needed to get some air. The school bell rings before she could say another word. A black van is seen moving in a fast motion to the point students hurried out of the way screaming.

Seikatsu stood in its path until M-21 grabs her by the arm and pulls her out of the way. She landed in his arms and was panting in sudden fear. M-21 lowers his voice to whisper in her ear, "You're safe. Don't freak out. I would hate to see a student have a moment." Seikatsu nods as M-21 releases her. "Ahjussi..." Seikatsu breathes to see the van suddenly stop. M-21 watches Seikatsu regain her composure.

"I'll handle it. You stay here." M-21 said. Seikatsu may have become a modified human, but she was still vulnerable. Seikatsu weakly nods. M-21 walks toward the crowd of students. Seikatsu almost getting hit by a van irritated him.

"Yim Suyi! She's here with Jung Hansu!" One of the students shouts as the two students step out of the van. All the students gather to watch the two in admiration. M-21 walks through the crowd. Seikatsu follows him. There was no way she was going to be quiet about this. "Sorry for taking you in my van. I would have brought us in the car." Hansu said in a casual manner. "It's alright. You have a busy schedule." Suyi says with a smile. The two students banter as the other watch and listen.

"Still. I should have brought the car." Hansu said as he ignored the crowd. M-21 approaches him, "You need to move your van." "Ooh! Ahjussi is here!" One girl squeals in excitement. Suyi notices M-21 and her face slightly turns pink. "Who are you to tell me to move my van?" Hansu said in annoyance. "He's the school guard," Suyi said. "Heh, cut me some slack. It'll only be a few minutes." Hansu said. M-21 just looked at the student, "Vehicles can't park here. Move it." Hansu scoffs before he notices Seikatsu standing there in silence.

"She's new. Kind of cute too." He thought as a large man steps out of the van. "Hansu, is there a problem here?" The large man asks. He had his hair braided back and his skin was dark. "Charles, no need to get involved. Nothing dangerous." Hansu speaks to the man. As they talk, M-21 places his foot on the van. "Stop talking and move it," M-21 said. Seikatsu stepped forward. "Please. It can be hazardous. I almost got hit by that thing." Seikatsu spoke calmly. Saying this made the male students focus on her.

"That's Seikatsu Tokugawa. She's a foreigner."

"Her parents must be lucky to have her travel that far."

"A cute girl like her has a voice on her. I wonder if other girls are like her."

"She looks calm. So cool!"

The chatting made Hansu pay more attention the to girl. He looks at Seikatsu, he eyed her up and down. He has a smile on his face as he approaches her. "Please excuse the reckless behavior. A cute girl such as you should be with better class." Hansu said. Seikatsu was already guessing where this conversation was heading. M-21 was not in the mood. More so Seikatsu dealing with this boy who was flirting with her. Frankenstein and now this boy. He could not see Seikatsu getting out of the situation. "I-I'm new so I enjoy the company here..." Seikatsu says as she tries her best not to act recklessly. "You still appear to be higher than them. Why not go to dinner with me sometime?" Hansu persists.

"How the hell do I get out of this? And M-21 is going to kill this kid. Damn..." Seikatsu thought as she smiles nervously. "I think I'll pass... I have my studies to be concerned about." Seikatsu said. M-21 kicks the van catching Hansu's attention. "Enough and get rid of this. Now." He demands. Hansu gets angry and Charles stands in front of M-21. The boy focuses on the woman who stands in front of him. "Now then. As I was saying-" Hansu speaks, but the slamming sound of the van being hit catches his attention.

Charles was leaning against the car. Head first. "I apologize but I am not interested. Please leave." Seikatsu said before she turns around and walks away. "Why you damn...!" Hansu was about to lose his composure until M-21 stares him down. M-21 casually walks over to Hansu. "If you intend to insult her and do not move your van...You'll soon regret it." M-21 says. Hansu immediately responds by getting into the van. Charles does the same and they drive off. M-21 sighs and he tells the students to go back to their classrooms.

Seikatsu was walking to the classroom but she saw Rai looking at her. She gives him a small smile, but it was short-lived. The almost car accident still had her shaken. "You're scared. Let's go...to the cafeteria." Rai said. Seikatsu quietly walks with him to get some food.

"He saved me. Twice if you count that jerk trying to ask me out on a date. God, today was eventful." Seikatsu explains to Rai as she was trying to use the chopsticks. Her hands were slightly trembling. "He didn't kill them..." She added in a low voice. The two were sitting at a table in the cafeteria. Rai took a hold of Seikatsu's trembling hands and looks into her eyes. "Breathe..." Rai says and Seikatsu takes a deep breath. She then slowly nods and relaxes.

Rai let's go of her hands. Seikatsu sighs and she was able to eat. "I was almost hit by a van and the idiot driver was flirting with me." She said before she placed some ramen in her mouth. She chews her food then swallows it. "I'm glad that you are okay," Rai said. Seikatsu smiles and then continues to eat. Shinwoo, Ikhan, Yuna, and Suyi enter the cafeteria to find the two alone.

"Seika! Are you okay? I heard that you were almost hit!" Shinwoo hurries to the woman. Seikatsu had a few ramen noodles hanging from her mouth. "I'm...fine..." Seikatsu murmurs as she tries not to talk with her mouth full of food. Suyi bows as she did not mean for the situation to occur. "Please forgive me. I hope you are alright." Suyi said. Seikatsu finishes eating. "I'm okay. Ahjussi saved me. Oh, my name is Seikatsu Tokugawa. It's nice to meet you." Seikatsu said.

Suyi smiles and then looks at Rai. Her eyes widen and a blush appears on her face. Rai watches Seikatsu. "This is Rai. He and Seikatsu are foreign exchange students." Ikhan explains. Suyi could not help but stare. Seikatsu notices the staring and rolls her eyes knowing what that meant.

"There we go..." Seikatsu thought.

Hours pass and Seikatsu chose to walk home alone. She had told the other students a lie in order to have some time to herself. She was still bothered by the morning events that occurred. She stayed at the school to help the elderly man sweep the leaves.

"That bodyguard is a good man. I can see why Principal Lee hired him. He does not say much, though." The elderly man said. Seikatsu did not speak as she continues to sweep. She had remembered the times M-21 and M-24 talked to her. M-24 would teach her how to fight through play-fighting.

M-21 kept her away from Jake. Those memories were there but the years after being supposedly killed made her forget them. "He seems to be protective of you." The elderly man adds. "We grew up together," Seikatsu says before Frankenstein and M-21 walk over to her. "Miss Seikatsu, you should head home," Frankenstein says with a smile. "Oh, she was helping me finish. I'm sorry." The man explains, "Such a nice girl. She's not even complaining." M-21 looks at Seikatsu and she does not look back at him. "I see..." Frankenstein watches the woman.

"I can go home. Thank you." Seikatsu says as she hands the broom over to the elderly man. "No thank you for helping me. See you tomorrow Miss Seikatsu." The man says. The three exit the school grounds and head to the car. "Thank you," Seikatsu said to M-21. "For what? You were in danger. Nothing else." M-21 said. "What about Hansu?" Seikatsu asked pointing out the obvious. "The boy who wanted to ask you out on a date after you call him out for almost running you over? Heh, you don't date kids." M-21 adds as he gets in the backseat of the car.

"Look who is getting all of the attention from the girls? Ah-jus-si." Seikatsu retorts. Frankenstein sits in the driver's seat. Seikatsu sat in the front passenger's seat. "Shut up. If you had just stayed put then that idiot wouldn't have flirted with you." M-21 sighs. Seikatsu huffs and stares out the window. "Next time don't walk around without a shirt on." She said. "I was coming out of the bathroom." M-21 retorts. "I say Seikatsu you have a bad habit of timing. First, it was the bedroom and now it was the bathroom. Who is next, Master?" Frankenstein teases as he starts the car.

M-21's eyes grow wide for a moment as Seikatsu rolls her eyes. "Damn you. I am not a pervert." She said as a blush appeared on her face. "When the hell did you see his bedroom?" M-21 questions the woman. "It was an accident and why are you concerned about that?" Seikatsu turns around to face M-21 as she slightly raises her voice. "Don't tell me Seikatsu is not allowed to see some skin. It is only fair since we have seen her in her pajamas that night." Frankenstein said.

"She's not a damn show." M-21 scoffs. "That was only the one time. It's not my fault that you both have fit forms. Jesus, I'm too old for this." Seikatsu sighs in embarrassment. "You shouldn't be embarrassed. Seeing your form was not a bad thing." Frankenstein says in a pleasant demeanor. "Enough with her body. Hell, Seikatsu wears pants and a shirt when you sleep." M-21 ended the conversation. He knew that Seikatsu was not long a girl. She was now a woman. One that still hasn't changed since the day she disappeared.

"By the way...Seikatsu, I need help with buying a few groceries. Also, what do you eat M-21?" Frankenstein steers the conversation. "Huh?" M-21 was confused. "Well...Seikatsu wanted to make dinner for you. She is a good cook." Frankenstein explains. M-21 glances at Seikatsu. He did not expect this treatment from her. "It doesn't matter..." M-21 spoke. He hadn't eaten anything good for the past years.

"What about something with meat? I can't remember the last time we ate together." Seikatsu said. "I swear...Fine. Anything that you can handle." M-21 said with a smile on his face. Seikatsu sees his reflection in the rear-view mirror. The small smile M-21 had on his face gave Seikatsu a smile. "Whatever. I can handle anything you suggest." She says. Frankenstein smiles as the two were getting along. The three spent their time together at the grocery store before heading home.
