~You Saved Me~ 《Kim Namjoon FF》

《9》

Backstory.
Liah and Namjoon have known each other since grade school. Which you didn't know. She never told you or Gabby because she thought it was irrelevant. Liah was a bully to Namjoon in year 3-7. She tried to apologize to him in year 8, but he didn't forgive her. She then became obsessed with him, which is ironic isn't it? He stayed as far away from her as possible. She provoked him and threatened him if he didn't change his mind about her. She had a group of friends that would torment Namjoon since he was smaller than most of the people in his class. They drove him to a dark point in his life that he never wanted to be in. That, plus his home issues. As soon as Namjoon began to appear bigger as the years progressed, she backed off. But her inner anger and determination drove her to still be close to him. When you and Gabby came along in year 9, you instantly felt a click with Namjoon. You adored him in a way, but you didn't want to ruin your friendship so you never said anything. As for Gabby, she always had her suspicions about Liah, but she never told you. Namjoon only agreed to be friends with Liah again because of you. Your kindness and forgiving nature moved Namjoon and he put his and Liah's differences aside. Besides, he thought that she would have been over him by now, right? Now everyone's all grown up and getting a head start on adult life. You and Gabby are starting to see different sides of Liah which the two of you had predicted. Clearly everyone in the friend group has secrets.

You were finally feeling free with Namjoon. The two of you were enjoying your time together...as if nothing could break the serenity between you. Namjoon then leans up to you

"Y/N I never got to finish what I was going to say to when I first got here ha.. I didn't want it to come off weird or anything but I want to be open with you"

You say puzzled. Open? What does he mean? You liked it either way..but you were expecting something slightly different.

"Open? Sure, what do you mean?"

Namjoon fidgets with your fingers "I want to be closer with you if you get what i'm saying...I want to be able to tell you about my past..This is sort of my cry for help? Maybe? I'm unsure..but look"

Namjoon lifts his shirt to show bruises and scrape marks. Your eyes widen "What happened? Are you okay? Do they hurt? Talk to me"

He stares blankly at you in a sort of distraught manner. You slightly graze his bruises with the tips of your fingers

"I need help Y/N. I don't want to be like this anymore. My father is abusing me and my mother every time he comes home. He's an abusive cheater and my mother can't get away. This is why I want to get away...I don't want it to seem as if i'm using you as my gateway...but i'm asking you..as my friend to help me. I've opened myself to you and I hope you don't think different of me..."

You cup his face as a tear rolls down his face

"Namjoon I will be here for you though whatever. I promise I won't ever leave your side. You can count on me forever. You won't ever have to worry about anything as long as I'm here. You can open up to me and I won't think different of you"

He smiles in relief and just drops his head into your shoulders

"I don't think you know how much stress you've taken off of my chest. I've tried therapy, talking to my family members, talking to my mom, and even reaching out to some of my guy friends from school but everyone has turned me away. It's like they don't want anything to do with me. I keep falling deeper and deeper into despair and I just can't do this anymore. I don't want to put my problems onto you, and I don't want you to worry about me as much as you probably will. Just please understand that you've changed me and you've given me hope"
