Chapter 14
"Thanks again for coming over. It made me feel a lot better to not think about it so much." I smile. He looks at me and returns the smile. "Oh no problem.." He nods. "Since I'm still.. Um.. Sick.. And leaving the house wouldn't make my condition any better.." I look down at my blanket and tighten it. "Would you want to come over.. Tomorrow?" I ask. My eyes shoot up. "But I -I mean.. If you're busy you don't ha-" ,"No.. I'd love to come over. Maybe I'll bring a pizza over and a movie?" I feel joy explode in my chest. "Yes. I'd love that." I say.
He rewraps his scarf. "I'll see you tomorrow then." He says. I nod. "Okay." I smile. "Have a good night.. Elizabeth." He says. "Good night Jason." I say back. He waves and walks down my door step, disappearing into the darkness. I slowly close the door, unable to wipe that stupid smile off my face. What a great day..

Yoongi's POV
My eyes struggle to open. My stomach ached, it was a little hard to breathe. I sit up and rub my eyes. I'm in my room, I don't even remember coming home last night. "Are you okay?" I jump in surprise. My eyes meet hers.
"Jennie.. How'd you.." I wince when my hand touches my stomach. "Be careful Min Yoongi." She says getting up off the chair she was sitting on that was at the side of my bed. I look down to see I'm without a shirt, bandages were wrapped around my stomach. "What the..?" I whisper. "I'm sorry.. I had to make sure you didn't break any ribs." She says pulling the blanket up my chest. "Do you not remember last night?" She asks. A memory flashes before my eyes.
**
I sit there for a while against the couch, clinching my stomach in my hand as it throbbed. I hear the doors open and I brace myself for another beating. "Mr. Yoon. My manager left some papers here. And she sent me here to.." She opens the office door and looks around. "Get them.." She whispers. Her eyes meet my closing ones. "Yoongi?" She asks sounding scared. Maybe it was the blood that was on my lips, hand and shirt that made her rush over to me.
"Oh my gosh. Yoongi what happened to you?" She asks kneeling down next to me. For some reason she started to look like Elizabeth to me. "Elizabeth.." Leaves my lips. "I need to get you to a-". "Take me home." I whine ad the pain gets worse. "Please take me home." I cry. Elizabeth's image going away and I only see Jennie. She nods and helps me to my feel. "Where do you live Min Yoongi?" She asks. I mumble my address. We make it outside and its not raining anymore. But the smell of wet cement hits your senses "My car." I mumble.
She digs her hands into my pockets before grabbing my keys. She pushes the remote and my car makes a sound. She knew it was mine because it was the only car in the parking lot. "Okay let's go." She says pulling me over to the car. I open the door with my almost limp arm. She helps me inside and right when I make it on the passenger side seat I black out.
**
"Only up to the part where you helped me into the car. The rest I don't remember." She nods. "So you only remembered the easy part of last night." She chuckles. I just laugh and nod. Her smile does away. "He did this to you.. Didn't he?" She asks. I nod. "Who else could have done this?" I ask. "I know Elizabeth wouldn't." My heart shatters to her words. "You still love her don't you?" She asks. I nod, staring mindlessly.
"She was actually mine Jennie.. I had her. And we finally admitted to each other that we loved one another." My eyebrows knit. "But yet.." I sit back. "I can't have her because that .... Asshole won't let me see her." I say through gritted teeth as I try my best not to cry. I've cried enough, I've already become weak because of Elizabeth. "I don't understand." She frowns. "Why.. Can't you see her?" She asked. I bite my lip. "I'm pretty sure you heard about the mystery girl problem." Her lips part and her eyebrows go up. "That was Elizabeth." She says. I nod. "You did it to keep her safe... Didn't you?" She asks.
The thought of me having to hurt the love of my life to keep her safe makes my eyes water. "That's why this whole thing started. I'm so sorry I brought you into this." I apologize. She shakes her head. "No.. Its fine. Don't even worry about it." She says. "No.." My hands clinch into fist. "Its not. This is scandalist as fuck. And I never meant to bring anyone down with me."
Her eyebrows furrow. "Yoongi. This is what fame does to idols like us." She says. I bite down on my lip. "What do I do then?" I ask. She looks deep in thought. "I honestly don't know." She frowns. I run my fingers through my hair. "I'm not even supposed to be talking to anyone about this." I say. She leans her hip against the edge of my bed. "He threatened you?" She asks. "No. Not that." I lie, but she sees right through me. "Min Yoongi." She frowns.
"I know for a fact, seeing how your condition is.. He threatened you." She says. I look up at the ceiling. "And what? What's going to change? Nothing. Because nothing can change." I feel her weight on the bed, indicating that she's sitting down. "Min Yoongi.. The guy I knew back in high school wouldn't have given up on Elizabeth. Period." She says. I chuckle. "You sound just like her." I can't help but smile at the thought. "Well its true." She says. I nod. She was right. Our eyes finally meet.
"Like remember that time that jerk Kim Sui was being mean to Elizabeth... And. " She didn't even finish before I started to think about that time.
**
"Min Yoongi please stay after." My teacher tells me. I nod. The bells dismissed students to leave the class. Elizabeth looks at me. "I'll see you at your locker." I say. She smiles and nods. I watch her as she left. I turn and finally look at my teacher who is smiling widely.
I feel my cheeks heat up. "It has come to my attention that you and Elizabeth have been getting closer." She grins, well. More like smirks. "Y-yes. Ma'am.. I have been getting closer to her." I say. She chuckles. "It's hard not to see that Yoongi." I wondered where she was going with this.
"I just wanted a progress report on her. How she's been doing." She says. I bite my lip. "She's been doing great.. Sometimes she has problems with the reading part. But I help her out. But other than that she is doing really good in my opinion." I nod my head. "And I'd assume that you two will be having a study session after I let you go?" I nod. She smirks again. "I shan't cut into your individual time with her, thank you for the progress report. You are dismissed." She says bowing her head. I bow to her and run out the room.
"Yah! Min Yoongi! Its Sui again." Jennie says running up to me, her cheeks red from possibly running too fast. I run up to Elizabeth's locker, which was two halls down and a turn to the left. Once I get to the hall that her lockers at, I see a huge crowd. My eyes widen and I hurry towards the circle. I try my best to push though. Many eyes were now on me. Many students stepping away. "Get out of here you American Girl." He says in english with a harsh Korean accent. He slaps his hands on her text books and they fall to the ground at her little feet.
"I'm Korean just like you!" She screams in perfect English. Sui laughs. "You should just go home to America." He points at her. If he touched her just once I'd be ready to pounce. My hands already balled in fists. "I live here. I can't go back you idiot." She says. He steps closer to her. "What did you call me?" He asks, his face dangerously close to hers.
"An idiot!" She screams. He raises a hand and before he can make contact with her face my hand was already at his wrist. "Don't you dare." I growl. He looks at me surprised. "Ah. Min Yoongi." He smiles and lowers his hand and I let go of it. "Ah. Kim Sui. What are you doing?" I ask playing stupid. I catch him on a stutter. I point my finger against his chest. "Don't you ever raise a hand on Elizabeth. Cause I'll raise a hand on you. And we'll see whose scared then." I say. I see him gulp before nodding.
I smile. "Good. So now why don't you pick up those textbooks." I say. I hear a couple of people chuckling and giggling. He quickly falls to his knees and starts to pick up the textbooks. He stands up once he finally has them all in his arms. He hands them to me. "Ah thank you Sui. I'm sure this won't happen again, right?" I ask. "Of course not Min Yoongi." He shakes his head. I swat him away and he runs out of the circle. Giving everyone else the idea to leave.
Before I can turn around I feel a force hit my back. "Thank you Min Yoongi.. You're the best." Her small voice makes its way to my ear. My heart starts to pound. "N-no problem Liz." I say. She let's me go and I turn to look at her. Her cheeks had gone pink, was she blushing? Ever since the dance she's been acting weird. Or.. We've been acting weird towards each other. "Should I walk you home?" I ask. She nods slightly. I grin and we head down the hall towards the exit of the school. "Oh great. You're okay." Jennie smiles. I turn and look at Elizabeth.
"Jennie was the one who told me." I say. She looks right at Jennie. "Thank you so much Jennie. If it weren't for you Yoongi would have been there too late and Sui would have slapped me in the face." Jennies eyes widen then she grins. "Well. I'm happy that didn't happen. Yoongi looked quite worried. And its not a problem at all." She nods. "I'll see you two at school tomorrow." She waves. "Bye." Elizabeth and I say in sync.
On our walk to her house, we talked about a lot of different things. Like, I explained to her that she was Korean. If it was in her blood then she was. And for her not to listen to anyone that tells her otherwise. Once we get to her house I stop at the front gate. She turns and looks at me as she stood on the step, it made her little taller than me. I hand her the text books. She stands there for a while, just looking at me. Making my heart pound so hard I thought I'd have a heart attack.
"Thank you again Min Yoongi. For standing up for me." I smile. "No problem Liz. That's what friends are for." I say. The light from the sun setting made her look twice a beautiful. Her hair pulled back in a braid, with perfect strands pulled out in front of her ears. If I could stay here forever and just look at her I would, in a heart beat. I don't notice that she was leaning in. My heart pounding even faster than before, I can hear it in my ears. "That's why you're my best friend." She says in my ear. I'm frozen, I don't know what to do.
I'm completely surprised when I feel her lips against my cheek. My heart wanting to explode. Her lips were so soft, gentle, and warm. I wondered how it would feel to have them pressed against mine. She slowly pulls away. She can't even look at me when she is finally standing straight, it was cute. "Bye Min Yoongi. See you tomorrow." She turns and runs for her front door. I stand there in complete shock. Was this a dream? Did the girl I'm crazy about just kiss me on the cheek?
I'm finally able to catch my breath. My name raises and touches my cheek, a gigantic smile wiped on my face. I turn and walk towards my house. My legs a bit weak and smile still on my face. This was the best day ever.
**
My smile can't go away at the thought. "It was thanks to you that day you know." I say. She looks at me. "I would have gotten there late. And who knows what he would have done to her." My eyebrows knit. "It really sucks that it came to this." I say. She let's out a breath. "I'd say things happen for a reason.. But I don't think those are the right words for this situation." She says. I chuckle. "I guess they kind of work." I say. She looks at me weird. "How so? You lost the love of your life. The girl you've loved since high school." She says.
I shrug and look down at my hands. "What if..maybe.. Just maybe." I pause. The words not really wanting to leave my mouth. "I'm not supposed to love Elizabeth. That all this is a good thing." Our eyes meet. She looks at me, in a different way. More like in horror, like she just saw a dog get runned over and it was left smashed like a ground of meat. And that image would never leave her mind again. "You did not just say that Min Yoongi." She shakes her head.
"Why would it even matter Jennie? I'm not strong enough. Okay? I'm not! And especially the state and condition I'm in right now." I take a breath trying to calm myself down so that I'm not yelling at her. Now that I look at her expression she looked sad, really sad. "I can't believe you're already giving up so easily Min Yoongi." She shakes her head. "How can I not?" I ask. Her eyebrows knit. "Because you love her." She says. It was like a slap in the face. "Unless you don't." She adds. "No! I do!" I proclaim.
"Then what are you doing giving up so easily!?" She yells back. She was right. She was absolutely right. I smile. "Dang Jennie. I didn't think you had it in you to yell at me." She chuckles. "Good girl gone bad." I add. She shakes her head. "No." Its quiet for a second. "So if I'm going to try to get Elizabeth back and bring down Yoon.. Will you help me?" I ask. She smiles and nods. "Why wouldn't I?" It brought a smile to my face. "Good. Cause we'll need resources... Lots of resources." I smirk.
I'm ready to fight for you Elizabeth. I hope you haven't forgotten about me just yet.
