No one's POV

Yeonjun darted past the boy's locker room and flew into the girl's locker room. He almost fell backwards to see what happened to Doeun.

Her hair was stuck to her face because of sweat and blood, her uniform was ripped to pieces, and her lips had a deep cut.

He didn't know how to react, nor did the girls. Hyera froze as the rest of the TXT members came inside.

"Doeun!" Kai ran to her instantly, glaring at the girls that bullied.

"Oppa..." Hyera froze, "I..."

Yeonjun pushed her aside harshly and tried to cover up Doeun in his arms.
Even though they'd bicker and argue, it wasn't a lie that he cared for her.

The silence was deafening. It was too quiet for anyone to start talking.

"What did she ever do to you?!" Yeonjun finally exploded, "Why can't you realize to leave people alone?!"

"But..." Hyera spoke softly,

"Shut up!" Yeonjun snapped at her, "All of what you do, they're all excuses."

"What's this?" Soobin snatched the phone out of one girl's hand and smashed it on the mirror.

"No-"A faint fangirl's cry echoed.

"Yeonjun hyung, you should take her to the nurse," Taehyun said, glaring at the girls.

Yeonjun looked back and nodded at the younger one. He felt his blood boil thinking Hyera did something like this to Doeun.

"Where's the nurse?" He cried when he ran to the nurse's office.

The nurse came out shortly and disinfected all of Doeun's cuts and bruises. She had to wrap Doeun's ankle with gauze.

"Oh dear," She said as she came out of her cubicle.

Yeonjun laid Doeun's small body on the mattress, and sat nearby.

"Doeun please don't leave..." He could hear himself whisper and gently held her hand. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you."

He looked back at her bruised face. When the nurse wiped the dried blood off her face, his heart fell as he saw all the blood off the cleansing wipe.

All he could think of was what to plot against Hyera.

Just thinking made his heart ache dearly.

Doeun's POV

I woke up in an unfamiliar room. It smelled like medicine and the room was cold. I turned to my side to see Yeonjun on his phone.

"Where am I?" I said weakly, I had a pounding headache. Outside the hallway, I could see TXT talking outside.

Yeonjun put his phone away and smiled, "You're awake."

I nodded softly, "What happened? I mean, after everything with Hyera."

He sighed before speaking, "You blacked out, and your clothes were sorta...ripped."

I instantly covered my chest area and now realized that my clothes were different.

"Don't worry, I didn't see anything." Yeonjun smiled at me, "Suzy luckily had another pair of clothes you could borrow."

"O-ohh..." I said removing my hands, "Thank you Yeonjun."

I almost froze when he placed a hand on mine.

"I know Hyera has been bullying you for a while, so I want you to stay with Suzy at all times." He said firmly, "We'll protect you, so don't leave me."

I felt my heart pace back and forth because he said "don't leave me".

I nodded, and he wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tightly. I didn't know what I was thinking but I hugged him back. I must be crazy for hugging this idiot...

His scent was intoxicating and I fell into a haze, my heart was about to explode out of my chest until,

"Yah! What is going on here?!"

Yeonjun and I jumped back and I turned towards the wall, with Yeonjun skidding away with the rolly chairs.

"Aish, so this is why hyung wanted to stay with Doeun." Kai shook his head. I realized TXT was in the room.

"Doeun~" Suzy hugged me tightly, "Are you okay? How's your head? How about your-

"I'm okay Suzy." I smiled at her, "Thank you."

"We were all so worried," Soobin added, "Especially Yeonjun, I think I saw him cry or some-

"Shush." Yeonjun threw a band aid box at his head, and laughs were bouncing off the walls.

I caught Yeonjun glancing at me multiple times and I enjoyed Kai and Taehyun goofing around.

"Hyung..." I heard Beomgyu whisper to Yeonjun.

It was now that I just realized that there were a bunch of students I didn't know that were waiting outside.

"Hyera and the other girls are waiting outside for your statement."

"What statement?" I blurted and all the members looked at me.

"Don't worry about the statement, just take a nap." Suzy pulled a blanket over me, and the rest of the TXT members left and left me alone.

Yeonjun's POV

"Oppa oppa please!!" Hyera begged in front of me, "Please, I'm sorry. Don't expel me, I'll be good from now on, I won't bother her anym-

"Shut up!" I yelled, cutting her off from saying anything else.

I looked at Hyera, who's eyes were puffy and red. Her cheeks were stained with black mascara tears.

A part of me wanted to slap her so she couldn't wake up. But I knew that me giving physical violence to Hyera wouldn't make Doeun happy.

My heart hurt when I thought of her, how strong she was. One moment she was smiling, and one moment she was broken.

"Don't ever get in my sight." I threatened, "If you go even near, Kang Doeun, then I won't guarantee your safety from now on."

She nodded rapidly and looked at the ground.

"But...oppa, does this mean you forgive me?" I heard her say. I rolled my eyes.

"Get lost." I said coldly, and I saw Hyera break into tears.

I pushed her aside harshly and I stood in front of everyone.

"If anyone here goes near Kang Doeun, then I won't ever forgive you." I said, "I'll make sure you're expelled and kicked out of the district."

From my view I could see everyone nodding. I was satisfied and I felt myself smiling.

Doeun's POV

Everyone left the nurse room and I was left with Yeonjun.

"I told Hyera to not touch you." Yeonjun said excitedly. "She won't hurt you anymore."

I felt my cheeks blushing in a shade of pink.

"Thanks." I thanked him, and he ruffled my hair cutely.

I sighed and he looked at me. "I got some food for you."

I thanked him again and we ate inside and laughed making jokes.

Even though I was bullied during my PE class, I liked hanging out with Yeonjun now.
