❦ Chapter 34 ❦

Taehyung Pov

To be honest, I expected Jaebum to waylay me after school to make his threat come true, but nothing had happened yet. But by now it was already Wednesday. The day on which we had to hand over the biology paper to our teacher. Maybe Jaebum had decided to do his hard homework himself!

Even though I was a little bit happy to make my point clear, Jeongguk still hadn't written a message to me. The feelings of guilt, which had already accumulated over the weekend, became bigger and bigger with every day. That's why I often thought about apologizing to him via message.

Those days I had thought very hard about Jeongguk. More than I actually wanted, but he had sneaked into my thoughts again and again. There was no doubt that he really meant something to me. Since the night he let me stay with him, he had completely questioned my image of what I had left for him. I thought I knew Jeongguk was dangerous, but he could also be very caring.

My heart was always beating wild again my chest when I only thought of his gentle touches on my thigh. I even got goose bumps when I imagined his warm breath stripping my neck. Like the first time we met in the afternoon. Jeongguk had branded himself in my head with his touches. He just wouldn't leave me alone.

Why is that so?, I asked myself confused and hurried through the corridors of the school, where there was only a few students left. Apart from the older students, who apparently had a free lesson, nobody was here. I had to go to the toilet urgently and wanted to be back in the classroom as soon as possible because the class teacher was discussing an important topic for the next test.

When I wanted to open the door to the men's room and go in, someone grabbed my arm and turned me around before he roughly pressed me against the wall and put a hand on my mouth. Frightened, my eyes widened as I looked into Jaebum's angry face. "You fucking asshole! Because of you, I got a fucking mark in biology class!", he growled angrily and raised his hand, before punching me hard in the stomach.

I screamed out in pain, but his big hand muted my loud scream a bit. I tried to defend myself, despite the unbearable pain in my stomach, to call for help, but he had me in a firm grip. "Because of you, I have to repeat this school year! Fuck you, Kim!", he hissed out of his mind with rage and hit me in the stomach several times in a row, so that I could hardly stand upright anymore.

Full of anguish, I almost screamed my soul out of my body and cried hundreds of waterfalls, because apparently nobody could hear me and came to save me again. Why am I such a weak person? I put my hands on his chest to push him away from me, but I had no strength left in my body. The punches had been much too for me to handle.

"You shall suffer for it, Taehyung", he threatened and now lifted his clenched fist before letting it go straight into my face. Whining, I closed my eyes and prepared myself for the worst: The punch.

But it didn't come. Instead I felt Jaebum being pulled away from me and falling to the ground. That was revealed to me by the loud impact and his painful scream that filled the entire hall.

Then I felt two strong arms receive me with a delicate hug, perceiving an intense smell that enveloped me. I knew him. It was the smell that I liked the most. Jeongguk's smell.
Sobbing, I burried my hands into his T-shirt and let my tears falling down my cheeks. I could hardly stand, but luckily Jeongguk supported me and still had his muscular arms around me.

"Don't you dare lay a hand on Kim Taehyung again, Jaebum, or I'll break your bones one after the other"
