“Do you fucking know what time it is?” His words irked dark, anguish waves of anger in me, as I stepped forward.

               “Why are you here?” I asked, quickly hiding my fractured wrist behind me back, as he stepped forward his eyes examining my body from top to bottom as I bit my bottom lip, feeling the nervousness creeping  up my bones.

“What are you doing?” I asked, when he steps closer, his face almost inches away from mine, as he bends down and holds my face between his hands.

          “I came here for you, Alex can go to college again, I reapplied for him,” his soft voice, his gentle hands erased all my worries away as I nodded smiling into his hand.

“He's going to be so happy when gets to know this, I murmured as I stared at the letter that he just handed, my fingers traced each and every word, as I felt tears creeping at the corner of my eyes, I was so grateful to God for letting Jeon be a part of my life.

My heart flattering as I looked up to say my thanks to him, to only find him staring at the plaster on my wrist. I gulped the smile leaving my face, as I stared ahead into his dark eyes. Immobile I stood feeling the worst of panic swallow me whole.

              “I am fine...,” I explained before I could say another word, his brows furrowed hearing my words, while his arresting eyes travelled up and down my body. 

“You don't look fine to me. You're practically wounded, and visibly there's a reason behind which you'll obviously won't tell me, till I go mental.”

“I was out and I hurt myself," I spoke, breathlessly and trying to calm my rapid heart, as he chuckled not obviously believing my lie.

     “Well, that's obviously a lie and you know I won't be believing that. Then why don't you tell me what actually happened?” he asked, his voice sharp with a little trace of hurt behind them as I flinched when his hand touched my cheek, then soothed his thumb down, the line of my jaw,“You shouldn't lie to me, Aria I don't like liers.”

“I wanted to help Sumin——She was hurting I couldn't stand and watch all of that....,” I struggled to find the perfect words that would not make him any angrier then he was already, as I watched how his jaw clenched every time I mentioned Nick's name.

“And then you thought to take matters into your own hands and let him fucking touch you, and that's not all if it weren't for that man you would've been——I cannot believe you, Aria you're just insane,” I didn't say anything I was just thinking, thinking how much letting this all out helped me in some kind a way.

After a few minutes of silence when I felt now was the time to make my move, to settle this all, and that's when he raised his head, pulling me along with him and walking towards the door, his steps rushed as I struggled to pull my hand out of his strong hold.

“Where you taking me? Let go of my hand, Jeon what is wrong
with you—" I yelled as he pushed the door shut behind us,  with eyes flaring with anger as he pushed me over into his car.

              “I am going settle this matter in  my own way," he murmured as he got into the car, my eyes widened as he leaned over fastening the seat belt around me,“Nick had it coming, Aria I'll need to make everyone know that guys like him don't deserve to stay alive,” his words triggered me as I gulped unable to say anything more.

My eyes blinked restlessly, as I stared at the very familiar place the frat house, of course he would come here, not waiting for me he already jumped down the car and furiously inserted his keys into the lock, my hands trembling I tried reaching out to him.

“You need to listen to me, Jeon this is not how I want things to go. You're mad right now and will probably regret this later,” it was like my words didn't reach him when moved his hand away from my touch, the look on his face and his anger scared me to death as I followed after him.

                     “Okay it's better if you don't physically do anything. Talk, just talk to him——" this time he did listen to me as his gaze very fiercely zapped through mine, clenching his jaw he pushed his hair back and stepped closer taking off his  leather jacket, he placed it over my shoulders, as his eyes continued to stare into mine.

     “Take care of it,” his voice it made me feel uneasy. Hyper ware of myself, I shifted my weight onto my right leg and watched his every move with a terrifying stead.

He had rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, as he twisted his neck side ways, cracking his knuckles before Jeon strode ahead with a rapid pace, that made it difficult for me to follow after him.

It was a joyous night for the boys, almost all of them were in the living room with some random variety show playing on the screen, Jimin was on the couch with his feet on Taehyung’s lap while Yoongi sat separately on the other couch. Daniel was there too, Dustin was sleeping soundly.

It was Yoongi who first spotted us as we approached, and definitely from the aura he could tell something wasn't right,“Jungkook.....let me talk with,” his voice hesitant as he gave me a questionable gaze, and I dropped my head feeling utterly helpless, fearing the worst case of scenarios.

“What’s the matter?” this time it was Taehyung as he approached me, and Jungkook hand immediately pulled away from him, there were unfamiliar sense of anger between, the way they stared at each other told me things weren't and I was the reason behind it.

          “Nick is here right?” Jungkook spoke tearing his gaze away from Taehyung as I withdrew my hands away from him and walked towards Yoongi and instantly he placed his arm around me in a protective hold, while Taehyung, Jimin and Daniel some how manged to pull Jeon to a side and try to calm him down.

“You told him everything, Aria and you know I told you from the very start what you're getting yourself into wasn't practically a great decision,” Yoongi spoke as I blinked unsure what to say and my eyes continued to linger upon Jungkook and then back at Yoongi.

After they were done talking and Jungkook was surprisingly calm a little I realized how much scared I was, I felt pressured to the point that it felt like I was being choked.

“What Jungkook’s trying to say isn't wrong so let's just give that asshole a lesson of a lifetime,” Jimin spoke, with a wicked grin as I rolled my listening to his words.

“Honestly, I dated her for years and stuff like this didn't happen, like you guys need to communicate——" Daniel began to speak but was shut up when both Jeon and I sent him a look of warning. I guess some things  better be left unsaid, things that we both were aware of; that we'll never be that perfect couple.

                       “Enough. Since everyone have stated their opinions I need put this out that whatever happens after this could not be changed, I am not a fan of fights and violence I am neither the girl that needs to be protected, nor am I any of yours business,”after I've said those words, there was silence like everyone were just thinking.

But that wasn't long untill Dustin came back from I don't where he was holding his phone as his face puzzled into a frown then back into his cheeky grin as he locked eyes with Jungkook,“You won't believe what I got mate, I just called in some of Nick's friend to see where he's at and he's just down the lane at some a cafe,” hearing his words I almost dropped to my knees as Jungkook gather his stuff, the hockey bat, and a belt what ever he could and turned to stare at Yoongi while he indirectly gave me a look of warning.

“Keep her here, don't let her out, ” we're his final words before he walked out, with the rest of the guys following his lead. And couldn't help but wonder how my got tangled with theirs and theirs into mine.
