GOT7 One Shots

20. Saving Them (Jaebum)

Im Jaebum never seemed to care much for professors or lectures. They were just another nuisance to him overall and showed no value in regards. But he always seemed to be settled to at least wonder around campus dragging the occasional cigarette to shine more intimidation on his appearance. Women from far and wide would gather together and swoon over his dark and mysterious charisma. He would only stare at the many faces and show disdain.

"Not interested, now go away." said Jaebum harshly.

You would sit in awe and peer through your heavy textbook. You had gone to school with Jaebum since you two were small children and you always knew him to be the sweet and caring boy who would protect you from anyone that dared to harass you based on your preferences and other factors. Time grew to be long and you two suddenly grew more distant and words were only kept in the wind of empty promises and deception. But the childhood friend you grew to knew never stopped caring even if he was too prideful to express emotion. Jaebum ducked his head down and bolted towards a local coffee shop. Bitter coffee beans and pastries woke him up to the welcoming atmosphere. He quietly sat down and requested a dark americano.

"I'm sorry (y/n)." mumbled Jaebum.

Your hair danced in the heavy spring wind with your books weighing you down heavily. You felt your sweat from anxiety cake and you were determined to enter into an elite school and prove yourself to be the first in your family to have a higher education. But came exams after essays and the stress seemed to pile up infinitely. You weren't sure if you could keep up with this pressure. You dropped your textbook and sat quietly, grabbing your head for a few minutes and muttering a silent prayer to not throw yourself at an oncoming car and hope your worries will be wiped out. a tall and built gentleman rises from an alley close to the coffee shop Jaebum was in and commence cat calling you with the most typical sit-com pick up lines you have ever heard.

"How about I take you on a date," said the man.

"You're cute for someone for your age,"

You get up and turn your head away exchanging a silent glare as you pick up your stuff and stroll away from the fella.

"Are you deaf or what?"

"Have you heard of someone not being interested?" You replied.

The man bites his tongue and his body language displays hostility. He had a history of picking up girls and amusing them to only be bored and find other targets. He felt quite drawn to your feisty remark and wondered how much it would take before he could push you to the edge.

"Got a man?" questioned the man.

"Not interested in one," You bluntly stated.

"Come one buttercup! I'll make ya feel nice!"

The man felt the right side of his face surge with pain and heat. You struck him with all the intent of showing authority and you had enough of what he was offering you. The man ran towards you and tosses you onto the ground with the intention of harming you with no remorse. Your legs crumbled on the concrete and the taste of metal flooded your mouth. You bit your lip in fear and had nowhere to go. Your legs were glued to the floor and your hands were hot from anger. You attempted to get up once more before the man pinned you down with his weight. He smiled down at you helplessly wiggling. Jaebum recognizes you being pinned and tosses his cigarette down on the floor before lifting the man by his jacket and looking him in the eye.

"Stay out if this pretty boy! This is my bitch!" yelled the man.

Jaebum lunges forward and tackles the guy onto the floor landing a hard blow in the abdomen and jaw. Jaebum grabs the man by the throat with a menacing glare and leans in to whisper a threat. You were far enough to be unable to hear what is going on. You cry out for the man to be free and you felt yourself getting lighter by the second. You gained your strength and hobble your way to Jaebum and lean gently on his shoulder.

"Next time I won't be so nice bub." said Jaebum.

Jaebum picks you up and scans your body for any injuries and sighs in relief when he sees you are left unscathed. You nod your head and smile gently at your childhood friend feeling forever grateful that he came to your aid and came back on his promise to protect you. His eyes were glued to you. He was never aware of how you evolved so beautifully and the intelligence you displayed with the books on hand.

"Are you ok..(y/n)?"

"Yes! I never had this happen to me before. I swear I am not hurt!"

"Are you sure (y/n)?"

"I'm positive!"

Jaebum still had his arm around your wait and he walked you to the coffee where you two spent time catching up from the time lost. There was so much to be learned about one another. You two had more in common than you think and if it wasn't for fate crossing you two in such a weird way, you would have been stuck trying to fend for yourself. Jaebum felt the ice surrounding his heart slowly melt away and a ray of sun cracked through his hard interior showing a duality so strong it would make the strongest man cave in to admiration of how love can change another human being. Jaebum turned to look at you with regret seeping from every corner of his face. He grabs your hands and grips it tightly with meaning. He looks tenderly into your eyes and makes a vow he assures he will go by since he failed to protect you from such dangers as the one he just witnessed. He wished to never leave your side and wanted to be someone you can look at and feel secure about going anywhere with. But he also had some hidden feelings he never mentioned to reveal since you did develop another romantic interest for another person in your class. Jaebum knew he was too late to sweep you away and become your prince charming. But he knew time can change anything and he was determined to do anything in his power to have you closely to his heart. He held your hand and you smiled delightfully with pure euphoria and you felt your heart grow more full and at ease.

"You promise?" You said.

"I promise..(y/n)," said JB
