This Is Love ( BlackPink x Winner ) + iKON & YG trainees

Chapter Two: Song Mino-Stay By My Side

Can I lay by your side? Next to you, you. And make sure you're alright. I'll take care of you

I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight. I'm reaching out to you. Can you hear my call? -Lay Me Down

"Thank you." I heard her say softly.

It's getting harder and harder for me not to want to kill Jisoo's dad. I don't understand how he could hurt her like this all the time. Everyone sees her as this tough and bitchy girl but no one knows how vulnerable she actually is. She's desperate for love but she hates asking for help. I know it kills her to have to come to me for help because she has no where to go. Han bin used to be her anchor, that's why she clung to him so fiercely. But now he's with Lee Hi so she doesn't have him to depend on anymore.

I'm the only one she has.

I don't think she knows how much I care for her and how I'm willing to do anything for her if she would just ask.

But she wont. She's too proud for that. It already kills her to have to ask me when she needs to stay the night. Her dad has been drinking more often lately and getting more violent than he has been in the past. I don't know what I can do to help her. She can't continue to stay there any longer, but where else can she go?

Sighing I tried to get some sleep and not think about it at the moment.

The next morning when I woke up she was already gone.

Getting ready for school I then sat at the kitchen table to eat a quick breakfast. As I was finishing up my mom asked. "Did you leave out the door early this morning?" I froze. It had to be Jisoo. But it doesn't seem like she saw her. I shook my head and hastily stood. "I gotta go, don't want to be late."

Mom smiled seeming to forget about the mystery of who went out the door. "OK study hard."

I made it all the way to the front door when my older sister stopped me. "Freeze." She said smiling evily.

I groaned. She must know something. "What?"

"I saw Kim Jisoo sneaking out of our house this morning. Isn't she Hanbin's girlfriend?" She shook her head. "Actually I don't care. If you don't want me to tell mom then you have to give me half your paycheck this week."

"Done."

"Nice doing business with you little bro." She said before slipping away.

Business  my ass, more like extortion.

Well there goes half of my paycheck.

Kim Jisoo the things I do for you.

As I walked to my meet up spot I looked around for Jisoo but didn't see her. Where could she be? I know she won't stay home because she won't want to be home with her father.

What if something happened to her?

What if she had internal injuries from him kicking her and was passed out somewhere?

Started to feel the first burst of panic I jumped when I heard her voice from beside me. "Boo!" She laughed as she looked at me. "Did I scare you?"

"No." I insisted. Even though she had, but not in the way she thought. She always scares me. I'm always afraid that something horrible has happened to her, or that she'll decide she's fed up and leave and I never see her again.

She smiled. "You were scared."

Looking away from her I continued to walk. Hanbin was already at out meet up spot speaking on the phone. She grabbed my arm stopping me.

"Don't tell Hanbin about last night."

"Good morning to you too." I said ignoring her demand and her acid tone.

She shoved me and repeated firmly "Don't tell him."

I felt the old surge of jealousy rise up in me. I try to keep it away and not show it but sometime my emotions are just to raw to keep in. Is she still hoping that Hanbin will come back to her? That's not going to happen he's going to hold on to that girl for as long as possible. The only one who is going to end up hurting is her. Why can't she give up on him? Does she love him that much? I wanted to keep the ugly words inside but I couldn't stop myself.

"I won't but why is it so important that I don't tell him? You know he won't care that you stayed the night at my house. He's completely in love with Lee Hi and that's not going to change."

Her face turned into an impenetrable mask, but not before I saw the anger, and hurt flash in her eyes. She glared at me before pushing past and heading towards Hanbin. Sighing I ran my hands through my hair frustrated and angry. I was frustrated and angry with her for not being able to let go of the past and myself for not being able to let her go. She's made it clear she isn't interested in being with anyone but Hanbin so why do I keep hoping?

I caught up to the both of them and Hanbin was making kissing noises through the phone. Jisoo looked throughly disgusted. Not wanting her to have to stand here and watch Hanbin being lovey doevy I said. "Hurry up. The quicker you hang up and get to school the quicker you can see her."

"Please do because I think I might throw up." Jisoo said looking at the both of us.

Hanbin frowned and pointed his finger at her than made the motion of zipping his lips. Jisoo just smiled.

"I'm going to hang up now. I'll see you at school. Thirty minutes." He promised.

Once he hung up Jisoo huffed and began walking. "Will you or her die if you don't see each other within thirty minutes?"

Hanbin ignored her and walked beside me while Jisoo walked ahead. "What's up with her this morning?"

I shrugged. I promised her I wouldn't tell. Though I'd said Hanbin wouldn't care about her spending the night at my house that wasn't true. He still cared about Jisoo and what happens to her. So if he knew she stayed the night he would know that it was because her father had abused her he would me angry and want to intervene.

We road the bus and the subway before we got near the school. We were pretty close when all of a sudden the sky opened up and rain began to fall. Jisoo yelped in surprise looking up at the sky in dismay. I took my jacket off and held it up over her head. "Here."

She looked at me gratefully as she held it up herself. "Thanks." She said as she stared into my eyes.

We stood there me getting drenched in the rain and her standing with my coat above her head, just watching eachother. "I'm sorry about what I said."

She nodded and opened her mouth to say something when the moment was broken by Hanbin shouting. "Let's make a run for it."

Whatever she was going to say was lost as the three of us jogged for the school.

Aww poor Mino, he just doesn't know what to do about Jisoo.
