In the midst of everything that was happening, you finally got the chance to talk to Mrs. Kim. You were grocery shopping for your mother, since she didn't want to do it, and you spotted her.

"Hi, Mrs. Kim."

She turned around and smiled, a smile so bright that you almost didn't want to tell her about the affair; you didn't want to be the one to wipe that happy smile off her face.

"Hi, Y/N. How are you?"

"I'm getting through it." You told her, taking in a deep breath. "Can I tell you something?"

She nodded. "You can tell me anything."

You walked a little bit closer to her and sighed. "This isn't the greatest place to tell you this, but you need to know." You paused. "I saw my mother and your husband in a club together, in one of the rooms."

She tilted her head. "What are you talking about?"

"I got home the other night, and my mother wasn't home, which was odd since she never went out so late. Then I found a card that said 'meet me at the club we talked about' and it was signed by 'K'. I went to the club and searched everywhere for them, and when I didn't find them in the normal areas of the club, I went to the bedrooms, and I found them together. I'm so sorry that I have to be the one to tell you this, Mrs. Kim."

She shook her head. "No, no. Don't be sorry. I appreciate you telling me. My husband has been acting a little off lately, and he's been very secretive, I just didn't want to push the matter. Thank you for telling me, Y/N."

You pulled her into a quick hug and smiled sadly at her. "I wish we were able to talk under better circumstances."

"Oh, it's fine, honey." She wiped under her eyes. "Have you been thinking about the wedding?"

"Unfortunately," you sighed. "But, I think I've come up with something to stop it."

She smiled. "Really?"

You told her what you had in mind, and she gave her opinions. She was all for it, since she wanted you to live your life to the fullest, and she said that she would help you if you needed anything. After you said goodbye to her, you finished shopping and went back home. You went to the kitchen and put up the groceries, and you bumped into your mother when you went to head up to your room.

"Why were you gone for so long?" She questioned.

"I was shopping." You replied. "It's not gonna take five minutes."

"Why do you have to be so disrespectful?"

You ignored her and walked around her, going up to your room. You shut and locked the door, then you laid down on your bed and groaned into your pillow. Moments later, someone knocked on your door, so you got up and opened it. Your heart dropped and you crossed your arms, glaring at the boy in front of you.

"Hi, baby."

Daehyun went to grab your waist, but you grabbed his wrist. "Don't touch me."

You pushed past him and walked down the stairs, sitting on the couch. Daehyun followed you and sat next to you, slipping his arm around your shoulders. You shuddered and scooted over, putting your legs out so he couldn't get any closer, unless he had the audacity to sit on your legs.

"Y/N-" Mrs. Kim cut herself off. "Daehyun, leave her alone."

You looked back at Mrs. Kim and gave her a weak smile, then the door bell rang. You jumped up and ran to the door, and you instantly felt better when you saw who was at the door.

"Hyunjin!"

You went in for a hug, but you were pulled back and thrown down onto the ground. "You are mine! Don't touch him!"

At this point, everyone was in the living room; your parents, Mr. Kim, and Hyunjin had walked in and shut the door. You grabbed your wrist since you landed on it wrong, and you looked up just as Hyunjin grabbed Daehyun's collar.

"Why would you ever think that was okay?!" Hyunjin yelled.

"This isn't your business! You showed up uninvited!" Your mother yelled.

Your dad scoffed. "Hyunjin is always welcome in this house!" He paused. "But you know who's not? The man you cheated on me with?!"

"Oh, seriously?! You don't even have proof!" Your mother snapped.

Your parents walked off into the kitchen, but you could still hear them yelling.

"If you and Mrs. L/N had never forced this marriage onto Y/N, we wouldn't be in this mess! Look at what Daehyun's done! He's made Y/N miserable, and it's affecting everyone around her!" Mrs. Kim yelled.

You zoned out and looked back up at the boys.

"I've told you not to put your hands on her, and what do you do? You put your hands on her, and now she's hurt!" Hyunjin growled.

"This isn't your problem, asshole!" Daehyun yelled back.

"This is definitely my problem! She wanted to hug me, so you throw her to the ground? Who raised you to be like that?" Hyunjin paused and tightened his grip around Daehyun's collar. "Someone needs to put you in your place."

Hyunjin punched him, and Daehyun stumbled a little bit, but recoiled and punched Hyunjin back, busting his lip. Hyunjin wiped the blood of his lip and grabbed Daehyun, slamming him into the wall and punching him harder than he did the first time. Daehyun caught him off guard by kicking him in the shin, and Hyunjin fell. Daehyun went to punch Hyunjin again, but Hyunjin grabbed him and threw him to the floor, punching him until Daehyun was practically begging him to stop.

Hyunjin got up off the floor and looked over at you, seeing you with teary eyes and a tight hold on your hurt wrist. Mrs. Kim was still yelling as Mr. Kim went to Daehyun's side, but Mrs. Kim eventually looked over and saw that you were hurt, so she ran over to you.

"Are you okay, honey?" She asked.

You nodded. "I'm okay. I'm more worried about Hyunjin."

You reached up and wiped the blood off his lip with your thumb. "I'm okay, Y/N." He whispered.

He picked you up bridal style and carried you up to your room, and Mrs. Kim opened your bedroom door for him. He laid you on your bed and quickly headed back downstairs so he could get the first aid kit.

"That boy," Mrs. Kim paused and smiled. "He is your godsend."

You smiled and played with your blanket. "He really is."

"Keep him close, Y/N. I can tell that he really likes you."

"Oh, Mrs. Kim. I don't know if he likes me like that-"

"Okay, I got the first aid kit. How bad does your wrist hurt?"

Hyunjin cut you off as he walked into the doorway. Mrs. Kim looked back at you and grinned knowingly, winking as she got up. Hyunjin sat next to you and gently grabbed your wrist, and he carefully wrapped it up.

"You should get your wrist checked out soon." He whispered.

You nodded. "I will, but first, I wanna clean you up."

He was still pretty bruised up, he had blood on his lip, and blood on his knuckles. You grabbed his hand and walked him to the bathroom, where he sat on the counter as you got the peroxide and other things. You put his hand over the sink and slowly poured peroxide on it, and he groaned at the slight burning sensation. You ran his hand under the water and wet the towel next to the sink, wiping the blood off his lip.

After you set the towel back down, you looked back up and made eye contact with Hyunjin, and you didn't even think twice as you leaned in and kissed him. He responded almost immediately and wrapped his arm around your waist. You pulled away and smiled shyly at him, pushing your hair away from your face.

"Sorry, I-"

"Don't apologize." He laughed. "I wanted to kiss you, you just beat me to it."
