Never Be The Same - A Mamamoo Moonbyul-Yi Fanfiction (gxg)

Chapter 15

Swithene's POV

"Do you think your mother wont come to your room at this hour?" Byul whispered as we interwined each other's hands laying on my bed. She just got here about 30 minutes ago and I was really happy she came like she promised.

"It's already 10 pm, she's fast asleep by now." I whispered back. Although we still have to be quiet and careful because it's no guarantee if she really is sleeping like a log. If she finds out I had Byul sneak in my room at this hour, we'll be in big trouble.

"You're really reckless Byul-ah." I silently chuckled and admired her features, it was dark but the nightlamp was enough for me to admire her features. I played on her jet black strands as she pulled herself closer to me as if she's savoring the feeling.

"Because I love you Swithene." she whispered and put her forehead on mine, allowing our nose to touch. I love you too.. But I know by tomorrow at dawn, I don't exist to you.

It's fine like this, I don't care if she uses her magic only at night. All that matter is, I'm the only one experiencing how her magic works. She touched the bottom of my lip with her thumb.

"One day, I'll be your knight in shining armor and no one would harm you." my smile faded and buried my face in her warm fingertips. I'm scared, but a big part of me can hold unto that promise.

She apparently skipped the dinner party her father held and escaped the house to see me.

"I'd like someone who'd keep me safe."

"I can do everything to keep you safe." How ironic. I want to say.

"I'll look forward to seeing you in a suit then." I joked which made her chuckle.

"Did you see me play yesterday?" she asked and tucked my hair behind my ear. I think she was referring to the little concert they did that everyone's been talking about at school because she plays the electric guitar and sang with Wendy. I sadly shook my head.

"I was trapped in the girl's bathroom." my reply made her sigh in frustration rather.

"I'm sorry babe." she apologized.

"It's okay." I kissed her forehead and caressed her furrowing brows. I know she's blaming herself for not being there when her friends locked me in. But then again, I doubt she'd have a single reaction nor flinch if she saw me being slapped or kicked by her friends in front of her.

"It's not. Look at you, you got a scrape on your knee and sprained your ankle because of the fall." she glanced at my knee and my ankle wrapped up in ankle brace before looking up in the eye with a face of guilt. Please stop feeling bad for me, It'll only add up to my misery.

"I told you, it's fine. I got home safely, see?" I forced a smile to at least lessen her worry. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared being locked inside for over 2 hours making me completely miss the whole event and having to endure the pain of my sprained ankle on my own. It was horrible but I hope it would be the last time I'll experience that.

I'm fine as long as she stays by my side but I would rather disappear if she ever leaves and choose to save herself over me knowing I've always chose her over myself from the start.

"Don't leave me alone." I desperately whispered and closed the remaining gaps between us. I grabbed her shirt to pull her close to me. It's as if just the mere touch of her hand isn't enough, I want the warmth of her body and her scent all over me to last till morning.

The feeling of her fingertips tracing my nape made me shiver, it left a tingling sensation that I couldn't help but hold unto her arm as she trace on my skin with her index finger down to my collarbone.
