Winter Falls (MinChan)/(HyunHo)

Part - 17

"Chan..?"I whispered to myself lowly, shocked seeing him. Never in my life had I ever expected to get saved by Chan.

"Why do you care? It isn't like we're touching something that is yours." The dude who tried to touch me spoke with anger as he tried to take away his hand from Chan's grip. "Tf- let go!" He yelled at Chan and tried pushing him to get free but Chan didn't even move an inch. Instead.. I watched as Chan spinned that dude and made him turn his back towards him before twisting his hand and holding it against his back painfully. "Ahh- what're you doing!!?" The dude yelled and squirmed in pain. His friends weren't even bothering to come forward and help him.

As I looked at his friends, I could see their faces getting pale with fear, as if they knew Chan and were pretty familiar with Chan's capability.

"Yah?!" The dude yelled "Why are y'all standing like that!? Help me!" He yelled again as he tried to get free, but the attempt just made Chan hold him more strongly while twisting his hand more. He let out a painful yelp because of that move, his face getting pale too as he watched his friends backing away and running out of this mess. It made him realize that he was unable to escape. "Who are you?! What do you want!!?" He asked Chan with horror laced in his voice.

I couldn't see Chan's expressions as I was standing behind him, but I could tell he had a scary face right now. He leaned closer to that dude's ear and whispered something before pushing him away and setting him free. The dude fell on the ground on his face, almost hitting the swing stand, he looked up at Chan with an unreadable expression that only screamed fear and then stood up hurriedly while groaning in pain holding his hand and ran away.

As soon as the guy was out of sight, Chan turned to me. My heart almost stopped beating as I saw the scary look on his face. It was as if he was about to commit some murder. What was with that expression?

"So you would rather get touched by some random dude than to fight for yourself!?" He yelled at me, making me flinch. The tears tugged at the corner of my eyes now finally falling down my cheeks as I closed them tightly. I gripped on my sweater tightly, taking in whatever he was saying. It isn't like I didn't want to fight for myself.. but I was so unable to.. I didn't have that strength to protect myself from 5 boys at the same time.. Even if I had protested, I simply could've done nothing. And I was so tired too right now. "Look at me!" He yelled as he grabbed me by my sides and shook me violently for once, making me let out a pained 'ah' at the force he used on the grip. It'd probably leave bruises.

I opened my eyes and looked up at him, my eyes filled with tears making my vision blurry. I tried to speak, form some words, but I couldn't. It's as if my words had gotten stuck on my throat.

The look he had was also not helping. It was scaring me.. It was as if I had committed some serious crime.

"Are you mute!? Can't you talk and fight for yourself!? What if I wasn't here right now!? What if something worse had happened to you!?" He let go of me with a light push and let out a frustrated sigh while slipping his hand through his hair. He was fuming with raged anger, as if something really important to him was about to get touched by dirty hands. It didn't make sense..I was none to him. We weren't even friends. "For fucks sake.. Stop crying like girls!" He yelled again. "If they were-" before he could finish he was pulled towards someone else who punched him hard on the face.

I gasped, shocked, and stared with wide eyes at him. As I looked up, I saw Felix fuming with anger. He ran to me, eventhough it wasn't necessary in this small distance, and hugged me tightly. "Are you okay, hyung?" He asked with the most soft voice he could master and started stroking my head and back with a bit of speed in an order to calm me. I blinked sometimes, trying to grasp on what was happening.
