Waiting To Bloom (BL)

Chapter 6

What will I do? How can I play the victim when I broke his arm plus what if one of the other students show the police the recording? I could end up in jail, Then I would lose everything. Nobody would hire me anymore because I would have criminal record after this, But I must do this right, I told jun-Myeon I would do it. Oh my god Jun-Myeon! He checked on me, cleaned me up then even gave me his gym shirt that smelled exactly like him. I slowly pulled the shirt to my nose and took a deep breath and it smelled of oak and amber perfectly balanced. The smell on its own gave me a tingling feeling all over my body and I felt weak in the knees. I could feel my face heating up and I spun around to see my face turning a bright red in the mirror which only made me blush harder. The man I only ever dreamed of talking to not only spoke to me, but he comforted me and showed me kindness. I pray this wasn't a one time thing.

I spent another 10 minutes calming myself down and thinking hard on how to play the victim. I know Ryan will try and blame me for everything and the students will protect him so what's the point in arguing it knowing I lost before I could even fight it. I slowly walked out of the bathroom feeling defeated until I heard Jun-Myeon talking to the students. Listening to Jun-Myeon chew my classmate out about how they all mistreated me but claimed to be good people made me feel like I finally had someone on my side. Somebody was in my corner defending me, I felt relief as he spoke confidently. No one has ever done anything like this for me and now my all-time crush jun-Myeon is siding with me.

I started walking toward the crowd and it seemed no one noticed me, once again I was invisible to everyone in the world. My presence holds no weight in this world. I felt shattered because once again it was proven no one would notice or care if I wasn't around. Everyone is talking about me and looking for me even though I am standing right in front of them. I walked up behind Jun-myeon and was about to speak to let him know I was there, but he just slid his hand behind himself and grabbed my hand. How did he know I was here without even looking back or anyone telling him? Was he waiting for me to come to him? I started blushing and just looked at the ground holding his hand softly.

"it's okay, I'm right here" I said sliding from behind jun-myeon just a little bit. The crowd seemed surprised, and the officer had stepped back putting his hand on his taser.

"Are you Takeru Somdura?" The officer asked leaning over trying to get a better look at me I assume. It didn't surprise me when the officer looked at me confused since I am often mistaken for a girl. what did make me uncomfortable was that he had his taser in hand right to put me down like a rabid dog.

"Yes sir" I replied as jun-myeon slid in front of me hiding me a little more from the officer. I felt protected and safe behind jun-myeon, It was as if he was my personal guardian. This was the first time I noticed how tall jun-myeon really was, he towered over me and the officer. jun-myeon had to stand at least 6'4'' I believe.

"Do you mind telling me your side of what happed today or would prefer to go to the station?" the officer asked calmly while trying to look at me around Jun-Myeon but Jun-myeon didn't budget. I could tell the officer was getting annoyed.

"if you don't move aside, I'll have you arrested for obstruction of an investigation" The officer said sounding agitated.

"I would feel more comfortable if you would remove your hands off your weapons being that he is frightened by you and has not threatened you with any harm" Jun-myeon said moving me full behind him as Twix stepped closer to Jun-myeon's side. I could see that Twix trusts his judgement no matter what happens, he shows true loyalty and trust for Jun-myeon. After a few seconds of the officer thinking he finally stood straight and removed his hands off the taser. I looked up at Jun-myeon who had turned his head to look at me and he nodded. I was assuming it was a gesture to let me know he was moving or just to reassure me that everything was okay because I have been holding on to the back of his shirt due to I was still nervous and scared of the officer. I nodded back and took a deep breath and only then did Jun-myeon move to the side allowing the officer to have full view of me.

"I was rushing out of class, and I accidentally bumped into Ryan. Ryan then got upset and started screaming and hitting me. I didn't mean to bump into him or anything, I just wanted to make it out of class so that I could make it to my job on time." I said looking at the ground trying my hardest not to cry because I felt so awful for the pain a caused Ryan. I know what he did was wrong and that I was the victim but if I had just paid attention to where I was going, I wouldn't be in this mess in the first place. I would be at work and not scared to death of going to jail right now. I should have been more careful and controlled my temper better. Tears started forming in my eyes and I didn't want to be seen crying, so I hurried and wiped my face hoping no one would notice my tears.

"So, you're saying that Ryan hit you first?" The officer asked.

"He started punching me after I told him I hated him" I said looking up at the officer feeling like I was choking on my words. My mouth felt dry, and my head was pounding. I started feeling feverish but freezing anytime the wind blew passed me.

"Ryan Mclyial said that you attacked him out of nowhere and he couldn't defend himself" The officer said reading from looked like a phone or notepad. My vision started to blur, and I felt dizzy. I stepped closer to Jun-myeon laying my head on his back, but I doubt he noticed because he had become angry with the officer.

"Look at him officer, your half Ryan's size now, does Takeru look like somebody you couldn't fight off if he attacked you?" I could feel Jun-myeon's voice tremble through his back as he was now pissed. Jun-myeon is right though, I stand at 5'2'' and weigh 114 pounds. I'm sure Ryan could have thrown me if he really wanted to. The officer himself looked to be at least 5'9' and 200 pounds, there is no way I could take him in combat.

"I mean he does look frail or delicate for a better word, I doubt that he could have taken down Mr. Mclyail" The officer said writing in his notepad.

"I remember Ryan punching me in the face and everything going black and then waking up with blood covering my face and clothing. I ran out of the classroom because I was embarrassed and scared. I ended up running to the bathroom where Jun-myeon found me and helped me get cleaned up and calm me down." I explained as I looked up at jun-myeon who was listening to my every word. My face had become flushed, and I felt hot, but I was extremely happy right now. Jun-myeon was protecting me and he knew my name. Jun-Myeon Nakamura knew my name this whole time. I was feeling euphoric.

"I checked on him because I was afraid that he was seriously hurt due to his physical condition" He said sliding his through my hair sending chills down my back. The world almost seemed to fade away and I was in heaven. I pray to god that I am not dreaming.

"So, you're saying the Ryan attacked first and Takeru was just defending himself from a much bigger opponent?" The officer asked, putting his notepad away.

"Exactly, I watched the whole thing. Takeru was the victim, and everyone knows it. They recorded it" Jun-myeon pointing to the group of students who were listening with their phone out. The officer then turned around and started asking all the students if they had the video, but I don't think anyone was willing to give the video up. I started feeling like I was going to vomit, it was really hot, and my body felt weak. My vision was blurry and dull, it was as if the color of the world was fading. I don't understand what's going on with my body, but something doesn't feel right. It's starting to become hard to breathe. I suddenly felt Twix walking past me for his arm brushed against mine when he pulled out his phone handing it to the officer.

"I recorded the whole thing, I felt like if the police were to be called that everyone would try and protect Ryan, but that's not fair to Takeru when he was the one attacked" Twix said proudly while the other students just snarled at him in disappointment. I am thankful to Twix for helping me. Though I am grateful I feel as if my body was shutting down, and I could no longer hold myself up any longer. My head felt like I was being hit with a hammer. The room suddenly went black.
