#11 - confrontation.

"THUD!"

i opened my eyes in shock as i felt the grip around my wrist suddenly loosen.

a tall figure with a mask and cap landed his fist right to the middle-aged man's face, as he collapsed to the ground.

"don't touch her."

his stern voice spoke quietly and i immediately knew who it was.

sunghoon forcefully removed the man's grip from my wrist and immediately positioned himself in front of me, preventing the man from coming any closer to me.

"and who are you, you little brat?!" the man yelled in fury.

"her boyfriend."

he spoke as he blocked the man's punch that was about to land on his face followed by the man's grunts.

butterflies hit my stomach as those words came out of his mouth. what is he.. talking about?!

b-boyfriend?

"hoon!" i cried in relief as i instinctively embraced him tightly.

all i knew was that i was now safe.. with him by my side. he staggered back a little because of the sudden impact and unfolded a small umbrella to shelter me from the rain.

"your clothes.." he said in a concerned tone as i pulled away from the embrace.

i could tell that he was making sure he wouldn't look at my undergarments that was almost visible through my wet and translucent pyjamas, he kept his eyes on mine.

"stay under this umbrella at all times okay?" he said as he took out one of his coat layers with his free hand and helped me put it on, making sure to cover my body.

the instant warmth of the coat made me sigh in content and i couldn't help but feel extremely grateful that he was here with me at such a time like this.

he couldn't have showed up at a more perfect time.

it felt as if he was my knight in shining armor that night.

sunghoon brought me into his arms and wrapped one of his hands around my waist, stroking the top of my head gently as he held the umbrella above us.

"you okay? did he hurt you?" he asked as i shook my head in his arms, tightening my grip around him.

"yah.. you think i'm done with you? she's just a little scumbag who hit on me first!" the man yelled once more, this time even louder.

sunghoon let go of me momentarily as he turned around to face the man once again.

he chuckled while adjusting his cap which made the man furious.

"YOU RASCAL, YOU'RE REALLY ASKING FOR IT HUH?!" the man yelled once more as he threw a strong punch on sunghoon's face, making him stagger a little.

i shrieked as i supported sunghoon's back, preventing him from losing balance.

at this rate, if sunghoon gets hit in the face even more, bruises and a black eye would appear and that can't happen..!!! his career..

"h-hoon..!!" i cried, grabbing his coat.

sunghoon breathed heavily as he adjusted his mask and cap, making sure to cover almost all of his face.

he glared at the man as he clenched his fist and immediately swinging it at him. in no time, a forceful punch landed on the man's face yet again, making him lose his balance as he toppled to the groundz
