Chapter: 18

I was quickly shoving my stuff into my backpack so that I could go home. Jongho left school early to go to a dentist's appointment, so I was gonna drive home by myself today.

I suddenly heard someone yell my name. "Hey you, Yeosang!" I turned around and saw Mark standing there. I panicked and tried to run away, but he grabbed my wrist and threw me to the floor.

"Thought you could get away didn't you." Mark said with an evil chuckle. "Yujun said you messed with her again, so stop trying to resist." He said before punching me in the face.

I tried to stand up but he kicked me in the stomach. He kept punching me and kicking me until suddenly he stopped. "I don't wanna kill you, so I'll stop here, but you better watch your back." He said before giving me a last hard punch in the face before running away.

(again, I'm sorry, I literally love Mark. He's the dorkiest, most adorable guy ever)

I got up and then slowly walked to the bathroom. I tried my best to clean up the blood and dirt on me, but it was still a little visible. I walked to my car and drove home, hoping Jongho wouldn't ask about the bruises.

"Baby, you're home." Jongho said as he hugged me. "Yeah." I said, not looking up. "I'm gonna go upstairs, I'm tired." I walked up the stairs slowly as I was still in pain.

"What is that?" Jongho asked as he went up to me and examined my face. "Nothing." I said quietly. "That's not nothing, what happened." He asked, concerned, and a little mad. "Mark beat me up again." I said quietly, but he still managed to hear it.

"I thought I clearly told him to leave you the fuck alone, don't tell me Yujun sent him." I nodded. "Well, is it okay if I check to see if you have any cuts or anything concerning." He asked and I nodded.

He helped me walk into the bathroom and sat me down on the sink. "Are you okay with me taking off your shirt?" He asked. "Yeah, it's fine." He then took off my shirt and examined me.

"How dare he hurt my angel." Jongho said as he caressed my bruises. "Well I'm gonna make sure that he knows not to mess with my boyfriend again." Jongho said with a pout.

"Does it hurt?" Jongho asked as he looked at me. "No, not that much, what are you doing?" I said with a little giggle as Jongho began to kiss the bruises on my stomach. "I'm kissing them to make them feel better." He said as he kept kissing all the bruises that I had.

"I'm all right, you don't need to do that." I said with a giggle. "Of course I do, he hurt you, and now I'm trying to make you feel better." Jongho said before giving me a kiss on the lips.

He picked me up gently and then set me down carefully on the bed. "Do you want to put it on?" He asked as he held up my shirt. "That's okay, I think I'm good like this." I said with a smile.

"Here, change into these, so you feel more comfortable." Jongho said as he gave me a pair of sweatpants.

"Actually, umm, can you uh, you know" "What is it baby?" He asked. "Umm, it's just, it hurts when I, you know, bend over. Can you like, I don't know, help me put them on?" I asked.

"Of course I can." He got up quickly. "There, all done." Jongho said. "Thank you." I said with a smile.

"Here, sit here." Jongho said in a childish tone as he patted his lap. "Okay." I sat down on his lap and wrapped my legs around his waist. "Are you sure they don't hurt anymore?" Jongho asked as he looked at my bruises again.

"Yes, I'm fine, I promise." I said with a reassuring smile. "Okay." He hugged me. "I'm never going to leave you alone now, you've been beat up three times already, maybe more without me knowing. I'm going to protect you from everything bad coming your way, I don't want to see you hurt ever again." He said before showering me with kisses.
