Warm in Coldness || Seventeen Jeon Wonwoo

7. I'll be by your side

[You may have already noticed this ff is different from most other ff, idk why but I tried to get out of the traditional ff. So once again, I really want to thank you for staying with me and showing your interest on my ff]

Your Pov

I woke up at 4 in the morning, I didn't know where I was. It took 3 minutes to realize that I was not in my room but infirmary, but why? I felt pain on my cheeks, I had a strong headache, slowly I started remembering what happened to me the previous day. The last thing I knew, I was in Wonwoo's arms.
I turned my head and saw Wonwoo holding my hands and resting his head on a pillow on a broad table.

(Picture from He is Psychometric, if you haven't watched it, what are you doing? Go watch.)
I saw my brother sleeping in another bed, (wait, does my brother know Wonwoo is here sleeping like this!)-No, for some reason, I didn't even think about it. I was thinking about yesterday, things that happened to me started piercing on my head. I started to panic, tears falling down on my cheeks, Wonwoo woke up,
"Soomin-ah, I'm here. Don't cry."

(That's Hwiyoung from SF9 if you don't know, please don't be mad at me, cause I always try to create a scenario for my readers, so ultimately this is not always possible find the ff lead character's picture that can relate the scene. TT, hope you don't mind. Ily)
I kept spacing out.
"Why did this happen to me?" I muttered.
"Nothing happened to you." He said.
I tried to sit.
"You have to rest Soomin."
I ignored him. But he helped me afterwards. He was still holding my hand. (*Why is this boy caring that much?*)
I started crying with barely heard sound. He panicked, he came and sat beside me, resting my head on his chest. He tucked my hair behind my ears. I felt safe in his tight embrace.
"Don't cry, Soomin-ah. No one's gonna hurt you again. I'll be by your side."
"I'll have an end of this." I said with the anger that I've put in myself. He smiled at me. He looked so proud for some reason. He said,
"I'll help you."

I thought that he was a cold, off and tough guy but turned out he was warm, like the sun on a cold-freezing day.

In the morning
I washed myself. I didn't put any makeup on my bruises (because I was proud it somehow), had my breakfast from the canteen with Seonghwa oppa (Wonwoo went to somewhere I didn't know.) I thought that Seonghwa oppa would scold me because he had warned before, but he didn't. He said,
"I'm sorry Soomin-ah."
"Oppa, why are you sorry? It's my fault."
"I couldn't protect you."
"So what? I'm okay now."
Tearing up, he covered his face.

I patted his head,
"You're the best brother, you did enough. I'm an adult now. So it's my turn to protect myself, okay? Don't cry."
He hugged me tightly and stayed like this for 2 minutes. I knew the head of the department used to come early in the morning because he said on the orientation day that we'd find him at any need from early morning, I knew what I was doing, I went to his office and guess what? I saw Wonwoo there. I saw him talking rudely with the head(I'll just say Professor Jeon.), the professor seemed sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop but I heard their conversation anyway.
"Appa, you know that I never wanted to come here, right? You really make me feel sorry for you. I don't know how you're in this position when your kids are beaten up by seniors! Don't you know anything?"
(*So Wonwoo's dad is our head*) I realized.
"Wonwoo, please listen to me, seriously I have never heard of anything like this. How could this happen?" Professor Jeon asked.
"Tch.... You're acting, huh?"
I had to stop him. So I walked in.

Wonwoo's Pov

I saw her entering my dad's (Head's) office. I was staring at her. She said,
"Don't behave like this with your dad. I'm sorry, professor."
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Exactly what you were doing." She said.
My dad was confused. He asked Soomin,
"Girl, are you a student from my department?"
"Yes sir, I'm Park Soomin."
"Park Soomin? Are you okay now? I just heard about you from Wonwoo, I'm so sorry. I didn't know anything."
"Just stop putting on an act, appa!" I screamed.
"Wonwoo-ah, just get yourself together. He's you dad!" She shouted at me.
"Professor, would you mind if I explain everything?" She asked.
"No Soomin, please explain. If you don't mind, can I record everything? Because it's under college rules violation. I need evidence to proceed." Dad asked.
"Sure, professor. No problem." She smiled. (*How can she be this strong after all this happened to her.*)
"And you, either sit down or go to the class, don't interrupt while I talk to your dad." She glared at me. I saw my dad smiling at her. (*WTH is wrong with everyone.*)

I left the room to have a sleep at class, because I hadn't been able to sleep for the past 48 hours. I saw *THAT JONGSHIN* sunbae on my way and didn't greet him (well of course). I glared at him. He called me,
"Yah Jeon Wonwoo, Come here." He shouted. "Where's your manner? Didn't you see me?"
Students started gathering at this point. "Yes I saw."
"Say sorry."
"I don't want to."
"This jerk!" He grabbed my shirt's collar. I looked at him in the eyes, grabbed his wrist as hard as I could. He started feeling the pain but couldn't scream. I threw him on the floor then yes I kicked him once,
"This crazy son of a *****" I cursed and walked out through the crowds. He came after me, I realized so I punched him two times and flipped him over.

"Ah, I just wanted to sleep." I muttered. I saw kids wowing and recording. Well, I was proud to see him in pain.

[That's it for today, I hope you loved seeing this part. Stay tuned for tomorrow.]
