"Look who we've got here. If that ain't little Jisung"

Jisung heaved a sigh before plugging in his earbuds, an attempt to drive the others away from him. He was exhausted after his tiring day at work and he would appreciate a good sleep. He didn't want to spend his time with Hyunjin and his friends.

"Why are you avoiding us?" Grabbing his shoulder Daehwi pushed Jisung to the wall nearby making him groan. The street they were currently in was empty as there weren't many who walk around at that time.

"Leave me alone" gritting his teeth Jisung managed to say as they scoffed. Hyunjin moved forward forcibly making him face him.

"Oh, c'mon how can we? You're our dear Jaemin's best friend after all!" 

"I hate you all"

"Same feelings babe" sassed Jihoon as he threw a punch towards the younger male. Seeing the way jisung coughed out blood the gang looked satisfied.

"Why are you all doing this to me?" standing up he asked as they scoffed. Laughter erupted as they faced him.

"Why are we doing this to you? right! Cause you are pathetic as fqk! You don't deserve to be Jaemin's best friend" they taunted as he sighed trying to rub his eyes as his vision was starting to get blurry.

"Well he deserves friends way better than you all" Jisung doesn't know where he got the courage but as soon as he spat those words he was met with another hit.

"What did you say you dumb mutt?" gritting his teeth Hyunjin growled as Jisung coughed out more blood. He, for sure, regretted saying those as he felt something heavy on his head.

"Tell me you dumb bitch! why did you say it?" Pulling his hair Hyunjin made the other lookup only to be interrupted by a howl.

Furrowing their eyebrows they looked around only to be engulfed in a cold wind. Shivering and their teeth chattering the gang started rubbing their arms profusely with jisung being released from Hyunjin's grip.

Not so far they could see a hooded guy walking down the lane, his head down. They glared at the male in hopes of him going away before turning back to jisung.

"You" Hyunjin paused drawing his breath even more close to the other making Jisung shivered, "Just wait until he walks pass. you'll be done forever" 

They waited as Jisung breathed in heavily laying there on the cold floor. His weak eyes met the ones of the hooded male as he walked past them earning satisfied smiles from them. But to their surprise, he stopped there turning his head back to them.

"Jisung-ah!" he called out making Jisung surprised. Hyunjin and his friends were in visible confusion as they looked at each other, "You said you will accompany me right?" said the stranger walking towards him before crouching in front of him.

Though Jisung couldn't make out the features of the strange he could get calm vibes from the other as he smiled nervously, his eyes shaking a bit. 

"C'mon! Get up! You stood me for an hour!" his voice slightly getting higher the male extended his hand which Jisung gladly took. Though he didn't know the other it was better to trust his life with a stranger rather than the ones called Hyunjin and his friends.

Once he got up the stranger halted checking his face as Jisung furrowed his eyebrows. Yes, he wasn't in a great condition, to begin with, and the stranger doing this made it even worse as he was kind of taken aback. For a second there he doubted the honesty of the stranger.

"My goodness!" he started checking the blood that was dripping. "What happened Ji? Who did this to you?"

Jisung gulped visibly. he kept his eyes lowered as the hooded guy growled.

"Did these guys hurt you? Were they the ones who got you in this form?" he further asked, his voice turning dark as Daehwi interrupted.

"Oh, c'mon bro! We haven't done anything to your friend! Besides, we were actually having a very friendly talk with him!" he justified themselves as the hooded guy scoffed.

"Friendly talk? So in your language friendly talk includes beating someone to death?" 

Hyunjin was getting irritated. sighing he placed a hand on the hooded guy.

"Look we don't know who you are and we're pretty much sure you don't know us either. It's better to not poke your nose at our business honey. It won't end well for you. You're one compared to us who are five. Think wisely and take your friend away from us"

"Well..." the stranger started moving in front of Hyunjin, his eyes piercing through the other's soul, "I wouldn't mind getting my hands dirty especially for a friend and truth"

"Are you challenging us? You are outnumbered, remember that"

"Am I challenging you all? You tell me and yes I clearly know that I'm outnumbered. But I'm sure that I'll be able to handle you all alone"  

"Someone's cocky boys! Finish him off!" commanded Hyunjin as they nodded their head moving close. Sanha was the first one to confront the stranger. He threw a punch but the other successfully dodged, hitting his stomach in the process making Sanha whimper in pain.

"Sanha!" called out one of them as he moved towards the stranger only to receive a few more punches. 

"What's happening? Ugh good for nothing bitches!" muttering to himself Hyunjin decided to face the other.

"You-"

A straight hit on his face made Hyunjin threw his head sideways as blood started oozing out. Spitting the excess blood he glared at the other who was ready to punch even more. Hyunjin turned to look at his friends who seemed to be shaking their heads sideways.

"Touch him and you'll be buried six feet under Hyunjin," the stranger said as Hyunjin's eyes widened. How did he know his name?

"You-" he gulped visibly, "who the fqk are you?"

"Someone who you should stay away from" was all the stranger said as he grabbed Jisung's arm walking away. He halted turning back.

"If you dare touch him remember my words. You will be six feet under" the stranger smirked seeing their reaction as he started walking towards Jisung's house with him along. The younger boy wanted to ask the stranger why he had decided to help him and who he was.

"I-" he started but was confused to see the stranger walking sideways grabbing his arm along.

"Where are we-"

"We want to get your wounds treated right?" The stranger asked as Jisung nibbled his lip before humming. Complying he let the stranger take him inside what seemed like a medical store as he was sat down in a seat nearby. The stranger ordered the things necessary. After buying the necessities he started treating Jisung's wounds.

Jisung squinted his eyes shut at the pain as the stranger rubbed alcohol to his wounds. He hissed a bit clutching his fists tight.

"Is it painful?" The stranger asked softly as he whimpered a bit nodding.

"Well...I'll try to do it a bit slower," he said as Jisung hummed, his eyes still squeezed tight.

"There! We're done" said the stranger as he moved away eyeing the wounds in satisfaction as Jisung bowed his head a bit in gratitude.

"Now let's get you to your home"

The stranger helped Jisung up as they exited the place making their way towards his house. Jisung still didn't know whether he should ask the other or not. Once they reached the apartment he turned to the stranger.

"Thanks a lot for your help er..."

"You want to know my name?" The stranger chuckled a bit seeing Jisung get shy.

"Well...you can call me Angel"

"Thanks a lot...Angel" with that he turned around walking towards the building.

"Ah" as if realization hit him he turned back, "goodnight"

"Goodnight Ji"
