Chapter Eleven

She quickly stood up and run upstairs into her room and locking the door.

„what happened!?" Hongjoong yelled, startling the six other guys. Mingi scratched his neck and sighed. „She might have seen me punching someone...someone dead. You all know why I do it, I just didn't expect her to see" Mingi explained, They all nod. „Alright, you'll have to get rid of the body and clean yourself up before you start talking to her again. Got it?" Hongjoong told him and pointed towards the blood stains on his pants and hands.

Mingi only nod before walking back upstairs.
„Seonghwa is trying to kill her for his own fun. He doesn't need her to survive, he knows that.." Yeosang mumbles. The rest of them only nod once again. They were all still speechless about what happened. San sighed and run upstairs, the others quickly follow him.
„San what are you doing?" Yeosang asks as he grabs his shoulder. San turns around „comforting Y/n, what does it look like?"

Hongjoong pushed San away and made his way to her room. If anyone should comfort her then that should be me, Hongjoong thought, leaving the others behind.
Hongjoong knocked at Y/n door, when he didn't receive a response he gently opened the door and stepped inside her room.

Hongjoong Pov.

As I walked into the room, I saw her sitting down in a corner, her knees were pulled towards her chest and her eyes were darted towards the floor. I slowly made my way towards her and crouched down in front of her, gently tapping her hand. I tried holding it but she pulled it away from my reach, she slowly drifted her eyes from the floor towards mine.

„Y/n..." I started but she only shook her head. „Hongjoong, I don't want to talk...to you right now.." she mumbled, keeping the eye contact. I sighed and nod. „Is there someone you'd like to talk to?" I asked her as calm as I could, it hurt me that she didn't want to talk to me but I have to respect her choices.
She nod and mumbled „San". I stood up and walked out of the room, walking down the hall and down the stairs to the others.

They all looked at me, when I walked in. „San she wants to talk to you." I said rather angry.

San raised his brow and quickly stood up. "Why me? I'm assuming she's closer to either you or Mingi, maybe even Yunho." San said, pointing to the three of them. „She'll definitely not talk to me." Mingi mumbles as he put his head into his hands. „I would talk to her but she wished for you, San. So go and talk to her." Yunho pushed San out of the living room, and then sighing.

San entered Y/n's room and walked towards her, engulfing her in a tight hug. „It's alright, I'm here" he rubbed her back. „I'm just scared.." she started, slightly mumbling, making San move back a little bit before looking down at her face and wiping her tears away. „What if Seonghwa tries to hurt me again...what if..what if even Mingi tries to hurt me or the others? I can't defend myself against literal demons San" She explained and looked into his eyes, she saw pure concern in his eyes.

He gently grabbed her hands „if any of them dare to hurt you or make you uncomfortable..I will make sure they suffer. No women or guy deserves to be treated like this..I will protect you Y/n." he let go of one of her hands and held her cheek, smiling sweetly at her.
Y/n nod and took a deep breath in, calming herself down. „How about we go on a walk...I know it's late but I'll be by your side" San suggested earning a slight smile from her, they both stood up. „I need to change into different clothes, could you turn around or leave the room? Please?.." San smiled and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

San's Pov

I walked out of the room and closed the door, when I turned away from the door I was met with Hongjoong. „Going on a Walk now huh?" Homgjoong said irritated. I looked at him confused „You and Y/n aren't a couple Hongjoong. You need to calm down, whenever she wants to be alone I'll let her be alone. You'll have your time with her again."
I quickly explained, trying to avoid any type of argument.

Hongjoong grabbed me by my shoulders and slammed me against the wall. I groaned and pushed him away. „Seriously?!" I whisper yelled at him. „Listen San. Y/n belongs to me, don't. Touch. Her." he whispered in a harsh tone, immediately stepping away from me as y/n's door opened. I looked at her with a smile, she smiled back and closed her door. She was just in jeans and a shirt, she must be cold
„Y/n, here" Her gaze left mine and she gave her attention to Hongjoong, who was now taking off his hoodie and giving it to her.

„Oh-no, i don't need it" she politely declined and shook her head, Hongjoong chuckled and still handed it to her. I shook my head and walked away with her in my hands.
I watched as Y/n put the hoodie down at the entrance, I smiled to myself and we both walked out of the house.

Author Pov.

It was now about 9 p.m. The both of them have been walking around for a while now, keeping a little bit of distance throughout the whole time. Suddenly Y/n took in a sharp breath and crossed her arms, San quickly looked at her. „What's wrong?" he asks, stopping in his tracks. „I'm cold" Y/n said, San reacted fast enough and took off his sweater, handing it to her, leaving him in a shirt . „No- you take it, you'll be freezing in just that shirt" She protested, giving it back to him.

He chuckled „says the one in just a shirt, put it on Y/n, I'll be alright" San handed it back to her, she sighed and put it on. San looked at her in adoration, the big hoodie taking up most of her upper body. He grabbed her hand and intertwined his fingers with hers, together they started walking back to the house. „Y/n" He suddenly spoke up, making the girl look at him.
„Yeah?"

„is there anyone you like? Among us eight.." It took everything in him to ask, he didn't want to know if she didn't like him or if she did but for the sake of the person that she likes, he wanted to know. Y/n took longer than expected to think about it, they enter the house, y/n still thinking about it.

„Now that I'm thinking about it, I would say no one in particular, I have interest in Hongjoong, I mean- w-we already kissed and it made me feel some type of way.." she mumbled the last part, but that was enough for San to know. He knew it wouldn't be him, he knew it would be Hongjoong, Yunho, Mingi or Yeosang..because they are the ones who are closest to her. But still, the little bit of hope in himself was there..

„Then go to him Y/n, tell me if he hurts you though. As I said, I will protect you no matter what." He smiled and watched her go upstairs. The smile vanishing as soon as she was out of sight, he felt a hand on his shoulder. „Win her over, it'll be tough two months with you, Yunho, Mingi, Hongjoong and possibly even Yeosang or Seonghwa trying to win her heart." Wooyoung. Wooyoung has always been the closest to San, he rubbed his best friends back and walked upstairs to his own room.

San sat down in the living room „win her over how exactly?.."
