The MVP

That night, Hwayoung went to 7E not far from her house to buy a packet of ramen. After buying, she continued to want to go home by crossing a quiet alley there.

After all that was the only short cut for her back home. As she passed through the hallway, she heard footsteps from behind her.

Hwayoung gulped as she quickened her pace. Suddenly her arm was grabbed by a man's hand. Hwayoung shouted and roughly pushed away the man's grip.

Hwayoung's breath caught when she realized that there were three men who were looking at her.

"Look what we found tonight." said one of the men there with a cynical laugh.

"Seems like we're going to enjoy a big meal for tonight."

"That's right HAHAHAH!"

Hwayoung started to get scared. She retreated a few sites backwards as the three of them tried to approach her.

"Stay away from me!" said Hwayoung warning them. They laughed more and more happily.

With a bold step, once again he pulled Hwayoung's arm but this time more rudely. Hwayoung almost cried as she struggled to be released. She tried to fight but she not strong enough.

Hwayoung's tears began to fall down her cheeks. A packet of her ramen was thrown on the road. Now her body is surrounded by them. Hwayoung's body was pushed until she sat down while sobbing.

Before the man could touch her face, a loud scream was heard from behind them.

"YAHH!"

Hwayoung was stunned when she saw Jungwon who was approaching them with his sharp gaze.

"Hey bro ... You want to join us tonight? No problem. We take turns, okay?" the black haired man asked in a mocking tone to Jungwon.

"Such a jerk!" Jungwon continued to punch the man in the face hard. Hwayoung cupped her mouth with her palms when frightened to see Jungwon fighting with the three men.

Soon after, they continued to walk away when attacked repeatedly by the Jungwon. There is no doubt that Jungwon is good at fighting. Jungwon approached Hwayoung who was still sitting there.

He helped Hwayoung to stand up and looked Hwayoung's face with a worried ripple.

"Are you okay Hwayoung?" Jungwon asked nervously. Hwayoung hugged Jungwon's body tightly and cried in his arms.

She was relieved when Jungwon managed to save herself. Jungwon stiffened in his position. But when he heard Hwayoung's cry, Jungwon returned her hug while gently stroking Hwayoung's head.

He tried to calm her down. Hwayoung looked up at Jungwon who was also looking at her. Hwayoung let go of the hug while wiping away the remaining tears. She smiled a little.

"Sorry." said Hwayoung when she realized about her behavior earlier. Jungwon returned her smile sweetly.

"It's okay. Feel better now?"

Hwayoung bowed slightly while holding back shyly in front of Jungwon. "Thank you for saving me." she said.

"Don't go out at night like this. It's a danger for your safety." Jungwon advises her.

"I just want to buy food at 7E." Hwayoung replied with a smile. She saw that the plastic ramen she had just bought was still lying on the road. Before Hwayoung could take it, Jungwon stopped her.

"It's dirty."

Hwayoung sighed a little while holding her stomach. "Ah nevermind. Then I'll go home first."
