THE SOFT, SLOW sound of footsteps one and another echoed each corner, the hazy patch of sun rays illuminating my blurry eyes as with a quickening pace I followed the man in front, dark brown leather jacket and boots his hair was wet he must have taken a shower after practising.

After the little scene today I've been the notice of everyone's attention and not to create any drama I avoided Jeon for the rest of the days and now that the school was over I've finally found the courage to talk with him. May be I was delusion or I like hurting myself, when I know he can't give me what I want but I still want to be with him, even for few minute of his presence would do me no harm.

I wanted to know why he reacted like that with Ethan

“Jeon?”

I shouted out when I stepped into the parking lot, my  breath rushing cold as harshly breathing I kept my hands on my hips while my eyes darted in search of him. Damn he walks faster than I've thought or may be I'm just slow.

A look of satisfaction spread across my features when I caught him near by his bike, he was about to get on it when I rushed towards. Stepping forward as in an attempt to stop him I've pulled him so hard that he lost his balance and tripped halfway our face colliding noses brushing against eactother’s, feeling embarrassed hotly with my cheeks ablaze I moved away.

“So it's you,” he murmured, his voice sounded too arrogant barely glancing at my way, as with annoyance he rolled his eyes.

Feeling flustered, I swallowed and looked upwards towards him,“Huh?”

“What are you here for, Aria?”

He asked, eyes darkening as he steps closer to me.

“I don't know,” I paused and licked my lips, the sudden gesture has his eyes dropping towards my lips, desire shown in those eyes of him had me too feel restless all over again, and swallowing again I continued,“You were suppose to stay away from me, was it too hard to do that?”

His brows furrowed, as a sinisterly wicked smile crept over his lips. I stared at him feeling my belly curl despite being pissed at him.

“Do you really want to believe I would listen to you?”

Confused by his words I stared at him, as so he continued,“What if I say I don't want to keep my distance?”

My face turned bright scarlet, whilst I continued to stare at him, my breath abandoning me when he started leaning closer to my then stopping near my ear, his warm breath trickled down to my exposed skin.

“I’m not perfect, Aria. Things don't work that way for me you asked me to stay away I did for weeks but I figured it out that it was hard to be away from you.”

He spoke proudly fingers holding my chin up by his two fingers as he had me looking at him.

“It’s hard for me as well,” I whispered looking into his eyes, I felt my heart beating wildly all of a sudden seeing him give me a dark smile, his eyes lightning up at the look on my face.

Neither spoke as we just stared at each other, embracing each other's features. Apart of me was hurt, may be knowing he wasn't in love but I lost my control over the moment when suddenly his hands each grasped my face, his eyes half shutting while his lashes casted themselves over his edged cheekbones. He mouth appearing to be nearing mine just then I have placed my hand over his lips, taking the man by his pure surprise.

He was about to kiss me

Just a thought of it had me feel breathless as with great struggle I moved away from him.  

“Don't do this me.”

“I would and I will continue to do so, don't ask me to stay away from you, Aria,” he breathed out eyes reflecting of one's of the burning flame that have me prisoned.

His face looked rather disheveled, a subtle look across his jaw, he looks even more intimidating and in that moment; I felt my heart beating faster by every passing second seeing the man take a step forward just then he stopped completely when distinct chatters were heard and a rush of few people followed in the parking.

“You guys are here? Taehyung asked staring at us with widened eyes as feeling embarrassed I made my distance between Jeon and I.

“I was just about to leave—” Jungkook spoke turning towards his bike when he was stopped by Jimin.

“It's fine let's go together in the jeep,” Yoongi stated as he and Taehyung walked towards the jeep Jungkook only nodded before facing me he followed after not sparing me a single glance got into the jeep.

“We are going for some pork belly come with us,” Jimin said to me as they adjusted, smiling briefly as unsure what to reply I stared at Jeon who was at that moment staring at me.

“Aria come along, it would be fun.”

Yoongi yelled after sitting in the jeep as smiling nervously I only nodded.

“Jimin take her with you on the bike there's not much space in the jeep,” Taehyung said this time.

And so he did.

•••

It was my first time here at the restaurant seemed to be quiet with less customers as we all sat waiting for meal to arrive.

Sitting in between Yoongi and Taehyung I stared nervously at my hands while everyone listened to Jimin talk about some match, Jungkook was silent the whole time, as my heat beated quicker and faster by every second sensing his gaze on me.

“There’s a bonfire night this Saturday," Yoongi told me turning his whole body towards me as I simply replied.

“Is it? Why do you guys party so much?” I joked arching my brows as Yoongi only grinned, blushing.

“You are coming right?

Jimin asked anxiously eyes gazing at my face, and Taehyung only slapped his hand away when he placed his hand over Taehyung's mistaking it for mine.

“Stop sounding like a woman,” Yoongi barked at Jimin who only snickered, flicking his eyes.

“You should stop sounding like a grandpa,” Jimin spoke as I all of us lost it then breaking into a fit of laughter.

“I think you should come, I will be playing the guitar,” Taehyung murmured glancing at me.

“I don't know I'm not sure do you want me to come?”

“If I said I do, would you?” Taehyung spoke, both brows raising his voice flirtous as Jungkook only clicked his tongue which only I noticed how frustrated he appeared.

What's up with him?

“Yah, you guys get a room,” Yoongi complianed waving hands in the air and Taehyung and just chuckled hysterically.

“This was what I was talking about.”

Jimin commented earning a glare from Yoongi as smiled faintly watching bicker.

The lady came in with our food everyone smiling and chanting we stated putting the slices on the burning grill.

Jungkook took the first large piece slicing it in smaller pieces he grilled, my eyes watching his skilled hands as I was taken by surprise when he suddenly placed them on my plate without saying even a word.

Yoongi who noticed suddenly turned to stare back at me confused, as feeling uneasy I only smiled faintly.

“Thanks,” I spoke when he Jungkook placed another piece on my plate again this time everyone were taken but neither said a word and act like nothing happened suddenly the air in the room was turn awkward when we heard the girls sitting at the table behind us speak.

“God look at her she's always surrounded with boys. Does she have no dignity”

The chopsticks between my fingers dropped down on my plate as I stayed still.

“What happened to wearing actual clothes damn she's a like a slut,” another one said this time, Taehyung was about to turn around when I stopped his catching his arm.

“I am sure Daniel left her for this reason,” and that's when I stood up and walked past them eyes meeting one of them only for a second.

“Aria!” Jimin called after me while I continued to walk.

I did not cry I was just frustrated, my breath seemed to tremble as suddenly I was pulled back my arm.

“Let go of me, Jeon”

I murmured softly not turning to face, as ignoring me he turned to face those girls.

“You girls are pitiful. I feel disgusted to even call you girls, Aria is the strongest woman I've ever known.”

He says simply, I think I've seen him give them a glare, but I'm not sure he looked scary at the moment which had my body trembling when he pulled me by my waist against his body.

“Oppa why are you defending her?” A girl asked standing up her voice sounding shocked, when suddenly Yoongi stepped forward his height over powering her, the scared look over her face was all it took as soon all then hushed it up.

Ignoring everyone Jungkook interlocked our hands and smiling ghostly he spoke,“I am taking her with me,”the surprised look over everyone's faces was not much longer before I was pulled forward exiting the restaurant.

My heartbeat rapid, as I stared down at her linked hands and his messy look he seemed flushed, angry.

In that moment I was sure why I fell for him, it was because he was always like a piece of rubberband always on the edge of snapping. If intimidation had a face it would be him.
