Flashback:

Yuna was walking alone in the corridor. Suddenly she got pulled into a dark room. She gasped on discovering who pulled her in there, her nightmare.

The room was dark, she squinted her eyes adjusting to the darkness. She scanned the room and saw silhouettes standing afar. One guy sat on the broken desk and other's stood around him, everyone's gaze on her.

The broken benches were kept on top of one another, the floor was dusty. The room smelt like a rat died in there, it felt suffocating.

"Hey ugly fatass come here!" he yelled making her flinch

She took small steps, standing in front of him. He smirked gripping her chin forcefully, a whimper left her lips.

"You dared caking your ugly face with makeup! Are you trying to seduce someone with that ugly face of yours? In your dreams" he said smudging her lipstick with his thumb, roughly, he kept pressing it over her lips till it bled.

She tried loosening his hold but his gripped tightened. He kept on smudging her lipstick till it was all around her lips and cheeks, tears rolled down her cheeks as she kept struggling to free herself.

"It hurts" she whispered

He just pushed her across the room making her fall on the dusty floor. He watched her, laughing along with his minions. She sat there crying, pulling her bag closer to her chest. Now one of his minions pulled her hair and she moaned in pain.

"Did I hear a moan? She's such a slut. How will she sound moaning my name? Disgusting!" he said getting down from the bench as he crouched down to her level grabbing her cheeks, his nails dug into her soft skin.

He came nearer and she leaned back keeping a distance between them, fearing the worst. She prayed to God to send someone this way.

Knock knock...

He flinched hearing a knock on the door. All the boys looked at each other, confused. No one comes this way towards the abandoned classroom. Who's that? He sent one of his minions to open the door. Someone stood there, panting, gasping for air. His uniform was crumpled, shirt hanging out from the sides as he bent down keeping the hands on his knees.

"Yah Pigmin what are you doing here? You dared to interrupt us! Don't you know your place? It's there outside in the puddle of mud, go play there" he laughed along with his minions pointing towards the window.

"Mr. Lee called out for you. I just came here to pass on the message, that's all" he said as he glanced towards Yuna, who was shivering, tears fell from her eyes nonstop.

He felt a pang in his chest seeing her state. He couldn't fight back those bullies, he himself was their victim. What could he do to help her? Nothing! He just lied to save her this time. But they won't leave him easily once they discover it. He's ready to risk it for her. Why? Even he doesn't know!

"If we come to know it's a lie, be ready for your punishment pigmin!" saying so he stood up shoving his hands in the pockets, leaving the room along with his minions, pushing him aside. He stumbled holding onto the door for support.

He went inside crouching down to her level. She was sobbing, her hands trembling, as she held her bag tight. He took her hands, she flinched but didn't pull them back.

"Are you okay Yuna?" he said looking into her hazel brown eyes

"Why did you lie? They'll come after you now" she said looking away

"Let them come after me. I won't let them harm you, ever" he said as he cupped her face wiping the tears, making her face him.

"Why are you doing this? Do you expect something from me or are you helping them?" she said removing his hands from her face, as she stood up dusting her uniform. She winced in pain, she twisted her ankle earlier due to the fall. He saw that and got up helping her stand.

"I'm not helping them. I just don't want you to face what I faced"

"So you pity me" she chuckled bitterly

"No Yuna! I don't pity you. I just want to help you"

"Why? What's your intention behind it?" she couldn't trust him, not after her best friend backstabbing her.

"I'm just one of your well wisher, that's all!" he tried to comfort her. He grabbed her by her waist to help her stand.

"It's okay. But let me be clear, I can't trust you, not so soon. I'll go to the nurse's office now. Thanks for the help" she said pushing him aside, limping her way out.

"Let me help you-"

"No thanks, I'll go on my own" she said limping, as she took support of the wall going towards the nurse's office

"How can I make her trust me?" he thought as he left the dusty old room.

......................

Yuna gasped for air as she got up from her nightmare.

"Why did he help me? I still remember you Min, though you have forgotten me. What was your full name, I just can't remember!" she chuckled bitterly wiping the cold sweat dripping off her forehead.

She needed someone right now, her mind was playing tricks on her again. Only three persons knew about these nightmares she had. Ara, her elder brother and him. First two weren't an option as of now, so she decided to call him.

Calling...

Hello!

Yuna! What happened? Did you have a nightmare again?
Yes! If you don't mind can you come over?

You don't request me, just order me to be there and I'll be standing right there outside your door! You know I'm always there for you. I'll come over. Just calm down okay, take deep breaths. I'll be there in 15mins

Okay

Saying so she hanged up, taking deep breaths. She came out in the living area and sat down on the sofa.

Later her door bell rang making her flinch. She got up, opening the door. There he stood, in black hoodie and black sweatpants, covering his head with the hoodie. He hugged her as soon as she opened the door.

"Are you okay" he asked, kissing her forehead as he pulled away, now gripping her shoulders

"I had those nightmares again Tae! They won't leave me alone" she said as they came inside, closing the door behind, as they sat down on the sofa.

He held her hands, patting them slowly. She closed her eyes resting her head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her closer. He whispered some encouraging words in her ears, as she drifted off to sleep.

He smiled seeing her sleep like a baby. He slowly adjusted their position, as her head was on his lap, he stroked her face softly, tucking her locks behind her ears. He just admired her.

Why you faced so much of trauma in past Yuna? If I was there by your side then I would have beaten the shit out of them. How dare they hurt an angel like you. How can I take all your pain away? I just want to see you happy...

How do I stop myself from falling for you? You are the one for me. I can't move on even though you were the one to break up with me. I always hoped you'll come back to me and I'm still waiting for you, Yuna...

Even if the whole world goes against you, just remember that I'm always there for you. I love you so much that it hurts to see you in pain. Just stay with me like this always.....

He thought as he got up lifting her bridal style. He laid her on the bed covering her with the duvet. He caressed her forehead, kissing it. Then he turned around to leave but she caught his wrist pulling him back. He sat down besides her.

"Please stay back Tae, I need cuddles" she said softly, eyes still closed

"You asked me to stay back, don't get angry on me tomorrow then" he whispered as Yuna hummed in response.

He slid in the duvet, her back facing him. He cuddled with her, sniffing her hair as he smiled. He loved doing that. He just wished the time to stop here, wanting to stay besides her always.

Yuna gripped his hands closer, which were around her waist. He smiled as he intertwined his fingers with hers, kissing the back of her hand and her nape making her giggled in the sleep. He looked over one last time then drifted off to sleep.

Next morning,

Yuna woke up feeling a presence behind her. She felt an arm around her waist and turned around to see Taehyung. She blushed in embarrassment, remembering the incidents that happened yesterday.

"Good morning" he said in a deep raspy voice pulling her closer, kissing her forehead. She loved hearing his morning voice.

"I'm sorry for yesterday Tae! I shouldn't have done that" she said looking down

He held her chin looking into her eyes.

"It's okay Yuna. You needed someone and I'm happy to know you trusted me when you were so vulnerable" he said hugging her, kissing the top of her head.

"But it feels like I'm using you. I can't reciprocate your feelings Tae, I'm sorry" saying so a tear escaped her eyes, which he kissed away.

"It's okay if you use me. I don't mind. A gentle reminder, I will always be there for you no matter what" he smiled resting his chin on top of her head, making her smile in his embrace.

"What do you want to do today?" he asked making her confused

"I know its Monday, just take a leave today. I'll call Ara and inform her, don't worry" he suggested

"And what about you?"

"I dont have much work today, so I'll a leave too. Let's stay at home and cuddle watching movies, just like before"

She thought for a while, then nodded giving in, like always. He smiled showing his boxy grin.

"Seems good. Now get off me Mr. Kim I got to go and freshen up!"

"I don't want to, let's cuddle a bit more"

She pushed him off the bed as he landed on his butt

"Ouch, that hurt!" he said caressing his butt

"Is this how you treat a person who cares for you?" he said as he stood up crossing his arms

She giggles mouthing 'sorry' getting up from her bed. Tae jumped hugging her from the back.

"Stop it Tae! Let me go and freshen up. I gotta take a shower too" she said trying to free herself from his hold

"Let's shower together!" he grinned

"Tae!" she smacked his arm glaring at him

"What? As we never did that before?" he said gazing her with mischief filled eyes.

"Stop it before I kick you in the nuts" she said and he raised both of his hands stepping back. She giggled grabbing some clothes and a towel going inside the washroom.

An hour later, someone rang the door bell. Tae went to open it.

"Hyung?" he screamed hugging the person who stood at the door

Yuna too came out of her room drying her hair with a towel. She saw the person standing there and jumped on him, pulling him into a hug.

"Oppa, I missed you so much" she squealed in his embrace

"I missed you too sweetie" he smiled hugging her tight.
