Jiwon's Pov

"Hey, have you guys seen Jin anywhere? I have been looking for him," I asked Jimin and Taehyung. 

"Nope, we can't find Wonnie either." Jimin answered.

"Why don't we ask around for them?" I suggested.

We went around asking everyone until a guy came up to me. "Hey, you're Jiwon, right?" The guy asked, and I nodded. "I heard you are looking for Jin, and I overheard your friend tell him that you're waiting for him in the restroom ."

Me? Waiting for him? 

"Which friend?"

"I don't know her name, but she's very slim and tall."

Wonnie?

"Ok thanks." I said to the guy and called for Jimin and Taehyung to follow me. 

I got to the restroom, and as I opened the door, saying I was shocked would be an understatement.

That bitch! 

"I could feel it building up inside me, a slow, seething boil that refused to be ignored. It was like a pressure cooker with the lid about to blow. My heart was pounding so hard I swear you could hear it if you were close enough, and my mind raced with thoughts sharp and unyielding."

"How dare you kiss my boyfriend?" I screamed, a crowd of people making their way due to my scream to witness the commotion.

I didn't think, didn't pause to consider the consequences. All I felt was this seething, blinding fury, and before I knew it, my hand was moving of its own accord. The slap was sharp and quick, like a crack of thunder in a quiet room. The sound of it seemed to echo around the room, a sharp punctuation to the roar of my anger.

 I watched as her head snapped to the side, her face registering a mix of shock and pain. The heat of my rage still lingered in my fingertips, and I could see the red imprint of my hand starting to appear on her cheek.

"What? Ji, come on, why would I do that? He was the one who came onto me." She looked at me with pleading eyes.

"Sure he did," I rolled my eyes at whatever lies were oozing from her mouth. "I knew you were jealous of our relationship, but I didn't think you would actually make a move on him."

"Ji, don't you believe me?"

"Let's ask Jin," I said turning, to face him. "Did Wonyoung kiss you, or did you kiss her?"

"Babe, why would I ever cheat on you? I love you."

I couldn't help but feel my heart swell hearing those words. I really have the best boyfriend ever.

"Would you really believe a guy you have been dating for not even a month over a person you've been friends with for years?"

"Yes, I would."

"But we are best friends."

"No. We were best friends." I said leaving the room as I couldn't stand to stay in the same room as her any longer.

She really let me down.

I ran out of the party in tears, different questions running through my head.

How could she do that?

Does our long-term friendship mean nothing to her?.

I was so lost in thought, I didn't notice someone in front of me until I bumped into him.

"I'm so sorry." I bowed apologetically.

"Your don't have to worry about that, cutie."

That voice...it can't be him...can it?

I looked up slowly, hoping it wasn't him, but of course, fate couldn't be on my side.

"Look over here, guys, look at the gift the universe decided to give me on my birthday, and she is all alone."

"What are you saying?"

"What I'm saying is that Jungkook isn't here today to save you." He dragged me by my waist, leaving no gap between us. 

"Why can't you leave me alone? What did I ever do to you?" I cried.

"What did you ever do?" he laughed.

"You're just a girl, and you dared reject me. When a guy tells you something, as a girl, you're meant to accept it. I hate girls like you—girls who feel they can make decisions for themselves."

He leaned into my ear and whispered, "You are just a girl. Know your place."

Is it a crime to be a girl?

Did I ask to be a girl?

"What are you doing to her?"

We all turned as one, and my eyes widened with relief. Standing there was Jin, his expression calm but his eyes hard as steel.

Author's Pov

"I'm giving you an option to leave right now because I have nothing against you, so go." G-dragon snarled, but his bravery faltered under Jin's steady gaze.

His presence was commanding, the tension in the air shifting. "She asked you to leave her alone."

"Yeah? And what are you gonna do about it?" the leader challenged, though the uncertainty in his voice was clear. The other guys shifted uncomfortably, glancing at each other.

Jin didn't bother answering. Instead, he moved swiftly, his hand clamping down on G-dragon's wrist. There was a brief struggle, but it was over in seconds. The leader yelped in pain as Jin twisted his arm, forcing him to his knees.

"Leave. Now." Jin's voice was low and dangerous. The bullies didn't need to be told twice. They scrambled back, fear in their eyes as they fled away from them.

Jin watched them leave, and until they were out of sight, he didn't turn to Jiwon, who was still standing there, her breath coming in shallow gasps.

"Are you okay?" he asked, his voice softening as he approached her.

She nodded, though she could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. "Did you just save me because I am a girl and weak?" she whispered, her voice shaky.

Jin bent down to her height, looking at her for a brief second before hugging her. "I didn't save you because you are a girl; I saved you because you're my girl."

She smiled in return, the adrenaline slowly leaving her system. "Thank you Jin. Please don't ever leave my side."

Jin walked her home, staying close by her side until they reached the safety of her gates. As they parted ways, Jiwon glanced back, watching him disappear into the night. She felt a warmth spread through her, a sense of safety she hadn't felt in a long time. There was only one thing going through her mind.

~I am so in love.
