Torn Between: (discontinued! Read Under Wraps for new story)

Chapter 8: Unpleasant First Encounters

*DongWoon's POV*

"You know the rules, DongWoon!" DooJoon yelled at me. "You know the instructions about bringing people here!"

I cringed, hearing him yell was something none of us wanted. He was a very calm guy normally, but he could be extremely stern when he wanted to be. "This is different," I whined, trying to hold back the tears filling my eyes.

"I don't care if she's the future queen of England, we have a ban for a reason! We've managed to keep our address secret for two years and you bringing her here has jeopardised our privacy!" DooJoon had never been this angry before. Never!

"She wouldn't do that. And it wasn't me who brought that fan home, it was Yoseob!" I returned, raising my voice to the same volume as the leader.

Yoseob scoffed and raised his hands, palms facing away from himself. "Don't bring me into this!"

I sent Yoseob am intense scowl. "Don't bring you into this?!" I barked. "It's your fault we can't being friends over!" Yoseob looked shaken, I've never yelled at one of my hyungs like this before and I felt terrible, but I couldn't stop myself, I was so full of anger.

"Son DongWoon! Stop this!" JunHyung gasped.

"What? It's true, because of him our social lives suck!" I growled deep in my throat, and I looked at HyunSeung. "Remember that amazing girl you met?" I Reminded and HyunSeung nodded and moved his gaze to stare at the floor. "Remember how she was no longer allowed to see you because of something Yoseob did!" It looked like he was going to cry. "And you'll probably never see her again-" I pointed at Yoseob. "-because of his mistake." A small tear ran down HyunSeung's cheek and he tried his best to conceal it.

DooJoon shook his head furiously, steam pouring from his ears. "Right! You listen to me! I don't ever want to see that girl-" he pointed at Sophie, "-here again. And that is final."

I shook my head and took a step closer towards our leader and said, "No, it isn't. Sophie would never do what that bitch did."

DooJoon's fists clenched and the tendons on his neck tensed. "You don't know that." He poked my chest. "I want her out of my house...Now!"

I took a deep breath and inched forward. I couldn't believe I was doing this. "Aniyo!" I roared and the rest of the members took a large, terrified step back. "It's our home aswell, DooJoon, and just because you're the oldest that doesn't mean you're the boss!"

It was then that everything changed. There was a high pitched scream and everybody twisted to look at Sophie who was sat down staring at us through frightened eyes. "Hajima!" She ordered. "This is pathetic." She was right.

"Who do you think you are?" DooJoon hissed. "How dare you yell at me, where is your respect."

Sophie's face started to boil. "Listen sweet heart," she said in a contra-sending tone. "How about I shove my respect up your arse, because that's where I believe it belongs. I come from a country where everybody's rights are equal, no matter what age you are. And just because I don't live there anymore, that doesn't mean it still doesn't apply." She fought, a fire burning deep in her eyes. "Understood? Now shut up and listen." She stood up out of her seat and walked cautiously towards us. "I never thought I'd have to yell at one of my idols like this but you've given me no choice." She was amazingly calm. She inhaled deeply and continued. "I love you all to bits, and I would never do anything to hurt or disappoint you, and this girl obviously wasn't a true fan, and doesn't know how special you all are."

My heart melted and my organs turned to goop. How could she speak so kindly of us? Of her idols who had just told her to piss off and stay away. "Those things you just said hurt, but I've had worse and I'll heal. But you guys." She paused and looked each of us in the eye before continuing. "If you guys broke up over something as silly as me being here, I'd never forgive myself." She gave DooJoon a respectful look. "And I'm pretty sure your other fans wouldn't be happy about that either. And if you want me to leave, I will, but not until I'm finished."

DooJoon nodded, he seemed surprised at how mature she was. "Go ahead."

She sighed. "You guys shouldn't be arguing like this. The last I heard the worst argument you lot have ever had was between JunHyung and HyunSeung over a cereal box, and I want it to remain like that."

HyunSeung and JunHyung smiled at each other and Gikwang said, "That was a funny start to the day." Gikwang then tapped his fist against JunHyung's arm.

Sophie smiled and looked back at DooJoon who was also grinning widely. I smiled to myself, remembering the very moments my two hyungs argued over who got to pour themselves some cereal first.

"DooJoon oppa," Sophie said respectfully. "I don't know what this so called 'Beauty' did, but I can promise I would never hurt any of you." She stared deep into our leaders eyes and continued. "And when I make a promise, I never break it... Ever!" She finished and gave herself a huff of self approval.

I looked at DooJoon and he seemed to have been won over by Sophie's speech. He smiled at her and spoke in a calm, serene tone. "Your very mature for a girl your age. But you best get home to your parents, they'll be worrying." He said in a fatherly tone and Sophie's expression became confused.

"How old do you think I am?"

DooJoon now looked dumbfounded, his eyebrows pushed together. "You're about fifteen, am I correct?"

Sophie's face softened and me and her both burst out laughing. She wrapped her arm around my waist and I placed mine around her shoulders and heled each other balance. She tried to apologise for laughing in his face but all she could manage was a snort, which sent the other four off giggling. While DooJoon just stood their frowning. We both gasped for air, my lungs burning and we finally managed to calm ourselves down.

"Fifteen? Sweetie, you are five years off!" Both Yoseob and Gikwang snorted a laugh and pointed at DooJoon, mocking him. DooJoon's cheeks had flushed a bright shade of red.

"Wait? You're twenty?" He asked shocked. Sophie nodded and DooJoon just stared at her. "You don't look it at all!" He tried to defend himself but the others just continued to chuckled.

Sophie shrugged. "I get it a lot."

"Well," DooJoon started. "I'm just glad he didn't pick an underage fan off the street to bring home."

Sophie frowned, her eyes narrowed to slits. "Off the street?" She questioned herself in English and then she spoke her next words loud and clear in Korean. "I'm not a prostitue."

JunHyung burst out laughing, but stopped when I scowled at him and mouthed 'stop it'.

"And I'm not a random fan of the street either," Sophie stated. My band mates looked confused and then I realised she'd just spoke in English so I nudged her with my elbow and told her so she repeated herself in Korean.

"Then who are you? How did you meet DongWoon?" HyunSeung asked.

I answered for her. "She's my class mate, we have three lessons together." They still looked confused.

"Then why is she here?" JunHyung questioned, shifting his gaze from me to Sophie and then back to me.

"I'm teaching him English," Sophie answered with a smug grin. "He's doing pretty well." She playfully punched my arm and I smiled down at her, my stomach erupting with butterflies as her skin touched mine.

"Could you teach me?" Gikwang and HyunSeung both said in unison. They looked at each other and smiled, then proceeded to high five.

Sophie bobbed her shoulders and smiled faintly. "Sure, why not."

I looked at her and she had a little glimpse of constant shock present in her expression.. She probably felt like she was dreaming. I was glad to have met her.
