Chapter 15 ₊˚⊹ ♡

I've just finished English when a freaked-out Mei comes running to me.

"Felix! Taehyung and Hyunjin, they're going to beat Jang-Mi!" Mei cries in worry. My eyes widen.

"Show me! Show me now!" I yell. Without a second to lose, me and Mei sprint down the corridor to the basketball courts. I barge in to see Hyunjin holding a bat and Taehyung grabbing Jang-Mi's hair. The rest of the basketball team and even Enhypen is there. Seungmin, Jisung, Jeongin, Hyuka, Beomgyu, and Jungkook are just sitting on the bleachers.

"I'M ASHAMED TO CALL YOU MY COUSIN. YOU BITCH!" Taehyung roars. Without a second thought, I kick Taehyung in the shin and expertly disarm the bat from Hyunjin's hand, pinning him to the ground in the process. I grab Jang-Mi and pull her into a hug. She cries into my shoulder. Mei appears a second later, gently taking Jang-Mi away from me and consoling her.

"What the hell!? Why would you stop us, Felix!?" Taehyung exclaims. Everyone in the basketball court looks shocked.

"You son of a bitch. Which right do you have to lay a finger on her!?" I snap.

"She hurt you!" Hyunjin shouts.

"Then if anyone is supposed to hurt her, it would be me! I chose not to hurt her for a reason!" I reply.

"She's so fucking evil!" Taehyung growls.

"No one is born evil Taehyung! As her cousin have you ever tried to figure out why she's the she was? Why she slept with men? Why she drank? Why she took drugs? NO. OF COURSE NOT."

"What do you mean!?" Taehyung asks in bafflement.

"What did her family look like to you? Rich? Famous? Perfect!? It was the exact opposite. Her parents, aka your aunt and uncle, abused Jang-Mi. Even after all the effort she did to make them proud, they only made her mentally unstable. She had no one to turn to! You thought she was a brat, so you hated her! You chose not to see through her. Even I was an asshole. I called her vulgar words many times and I hated her too. But learning the truth, I realized that no one is born evil! Jang-Mi probably felt abandoned and alone. She tried to date a rich, popular guy but even he didn't bother to give her the love she wanted," I bellow, pointing at Hyunjin, "The love she never got. All she asked for was a good life! For once Taehyung and Hyunjin! Show some fucking empathy!"

Hyunjin and Taehyung stare at me in utter shock. Everyone else has gone dead still and there's pin drop-silence.

"And you all!" I shout turning to everyone else in the room, "I'm so fucking disappointed in your choice of action!"

I don't bother waiting for anyone's reaction, instead, I run to where Jang-Mi and Mei are and pull them away. Jang-Mi seemed to be shaking in fear and anxiety.

"Hey, hey, it's alright. I'm here now. I won't let them hurt you again. Be strong," I say. She nods, taking a deep breath and steadying her heartbeat.

"I'm alright. I'm alright. I can do this," she says confidently. I lead her away from the courts and towards the school gate.

"Where are we going?" Mei squeaks from beside Jang-Mi.

"To a cafe. Jang-Mi is probably quite shaken up," I say. We enter a cafe and I seat the two girls down. I take a look around realizing that the architecture had changed from the last time I was here. Before it was modern and very eco-friendly, but now it's a cozy home style.

"Go ahead and order, I'll pay," I tell them. They nod and point at what they want.

"Hello, what would you like to order-- Felix!" the voice exclaims. I turn to him, as a smile replaces my frown.
