~~~~~Jeongguk

I carried Haerin in my arms, while she clung to me like a small koala. When we reached the car, it was next to impossible to remove her gripping hands. I took my time and spoke quietly, reassuring her the best I could. I kept my hand on her thigh as I drove through the city, and peeked at her occasionally. Her tears were silently falling, and she just stared straight ahead through the windshield. I can tell she is completely overwhelmed, and I just want her to be calm, so I don't say anything for a bit. When we pull into the complex where our dorm is located, her eyes become saucers.

"You alright Hae?"

"mmmm..."

"We don't have to do this tonight... We can just go somewhere else..."

"no... it's ok."

After I park the car, I go to her side, and take her hand gently. She still isn't really meeting my eyes, and mostly looks down. I recognize her stance as embarrassment, or shame, and it causes my heart to pinch. She walks beside me, and I notice her trembling when we stop in front of the door. Before I open it, I turn to face her, lifting her chin to gaze at her.

"It's going to be fine Haerin. They're going to love you."

She just takes a big breath and nods at me. I open the door, and lead her in. While we are removing our shoes, I hear voices from the living room. They sound loud, and not in a good way, but I walk towards them with Haerin a little behind me. I let her be, because I can tell she's afraid. I was not prepared for the scene in front of me, and when I stop, Haerin runs into my back.

"Say that again Hyung!! I FUCKING dare you to say it again!!"

Jimin is yelling at Yoongi Hyung with a look of utter rage on his face. I see Namjoon Hyung with his head hanging, Jin Hyung standing next to Naeun Noona, and Taehyung Hyung close to Jimin, ready to pull him back if needed. My confusion is short lived though when Yoongi Hyung spits words that hurt everyone, but most of all, Haerin.

"I said because Namjoon and Jungkook needed to fuck some whores, we're in the tabloids!! Do you want me to write it down for you to read?!?"

Jimin's fist connects with Hyung's chin, sending him stumbling. Yoongi Hyung tackles Jimin to the ground next, and they begin fighting. I feel Haerin move away from me, and I turned to find her crouched down with her hands over her ears. Taehyung dragged Jimin off his Hyung, just to have Yoongi throw a punch that knocked them both back.

"YOU THINK THIS IS SOME SMALL SCANDAL?!? WE MAY NEVER RECOVER FROM THIS!!! ALL SO THEY COULD GET THEIR DICKS WET WITH SOME SKANKS?!? FUCK THIS!!"

That's it... I am seeing red at this point, and I take some predatory steps towards Yoongi, when Jin stands in my way.

"Don't Jungkook..."

"Hyung..."

"ENOUGH!"

The female voice from behind me, causes everyone to look, and my heart stutters in my chest. The dark, cool look on her face tells me that my Haerin is gone. Naeun Noona, walks to her quickly, and tries to stop her from moving towards Yoongi. I watch in horror, as she glares at Noona, and pushes past her.

"Who the Fuck do you think you are? Are you so much better than everyone? Huh? Or are you just jealous of your friends?"

The way she walked to Hyung, and started running her finger on his chest shocked him. I was frozen in my spot, and there was a lump in my throat that stole my voice.

"Who are you? Don't touch me!"

Hyung pushed her back, but she just giggled, and stepped towards him again. Jimin did what I wasn't able to, and grabbed her hand away from Yoongi Hyung.
