You were calmly walking down the sidewalk, enjoying the serene afternoon, when you heard a loud bark behind you. Before you could process what was happening, a dog started chasing you, barking like he had gone crazy. Your heart raced and, without thinking twice, you fled, your quick, desperate footsteps echoing on the ground.
The dog wouldn't give up. Getting closer and closer, you looked for a way to escape. That's when you saw two boys a little further ahead. The tallest one, with long hair and a relaxed posture, was Ran Haitani, and next to him, with an indifferent look and shorter hair, was Rindou Haitani, the famous brothers known for their coldness.
Without hesitation, driven by desperation, you ran towards them and, before anyone could react, you jumped into Ran's lap, seeking refuge. The dog stopped a few meters away, finally backing away, but you were still panting, hugging Ran's neck.
He looked at you with a raised eyebrow and a mischievous smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Well, it's not every day a pretty girl jumps into my lap," Ran said with a giggle. "You look good there ? or do you want to be more comfortable?β
Rindou, in turn, crossed his arms and looked you up and down, letting out a sigh of boredom. "You are aware that he won't protect you from the dogs, right? Ran only cares about himself," he commented, looking at his brother with a half smile.
