"Okay."

"Kat, please." he begged, he looked about ready to cry.

"I said speak."

"Soomin was spouting all this shit to me, telling me she had to tell me something but couldn't say it front of people, so I went with her to the dance room and she was saying all of these horrible things about you, God I would have slapped her if she was a man, but then she tried to say I needed someone like her in my life and that you were unworthy of me and then as you came in she literally jumped on to me and tried to kiss me. I swear I've never felt more repulsed in my life." he spluttered, I could barely understand at the speed of which he was talking but I understood enough.

"She what." I deadpanned, face going blank and my blood ran cold.

I felt horrible. I should have known he wouldn't hurt me after everything. I cursed at myself for letting my trauma get the better of me yet again, especially when I finally had something worth fighting for.

"Chan..." I croaked.

"It's okay, you don't have to say anything just please say you believe me." he whispered, looking away from me, tears in his eyes.

I reached out and brushed my thumb over his cut lip, causing him to wince slightly but bringing his attention back onto me.

"Chris, I'm so sorry." I muttered, as a tear fell.

He wiped the tear away and his touch on my skin felt so right and in that moment something came over me. I stood up from my chair, causing a screeching noise from it moving across the floor, everyone in the room turned to look at me but this time I didn't care about anyone in that room apart from one person.

I marched over to Soomin, with her looking at me with confusion and I could tell in her mind she was probably mocking me.

"You dumb fucking bitch!" I exploded on her. "The fucking nerve that you have to try and do that to me after everything you yourself have put me through the last few years." and then I saw the fear in her eyes.

I could hear the boys trying to get me to calm down and leave her alone and that she wasn't worth it but all I could think about right now was what I have wanted to do to this dumb bitch for the whole time I have known her.

I lunged at her, striking a strong punch right on her nose.

She fell backwards holding her nose. Anger now visible in her eyes and as she tried to strike back I delivered another swift punch to her face again, which I could tell was going to bruise.

She just sat in shock and finally everything came back into focus for me as I was now being held back by Chan and the teacher was stood shouting at the both of us. I heard him say something about a suspension from school for a week but I didn't really care.

Soomin finally got what she deserved.

I walked out of school hand in hand with Chan, going back to his house with the rest of the guys.

We were walking in silence. I think everyone was just shocked at the events from the whole of the day to be honest.

When we arrived at Chan's house, his mum was a little confused but was welcoming nonetheless and we all went into Chan's room and just sat there for a minute, until someone spoke first.

"Katerina, you're awesome!" Minho basically cheered, causing everyone to laugh.

"Uhh, thanks I guess, Minho, although it isn't really my proudest moment." I admitted.

"Are you kidding, you finally gave that bitch what she deserved, she had it coming." Jisung spoke this time, again causing everyone to laugh about the situation and agree with the two boys.

"Well, I'm gonna be bored for the next week." I sighed, thinking about the fact that I had gotten suspended.

"Nah, me and Changbin got suspended too, my mum texted me saying the school had emailed her and that we need to reflect on our actions." he rolled his eyes at the silly wording of the school email.

"Which is bullshit by the way, you're the one who got punched." I pointed out, causing Changbin to snicker.

"Changbin, mate, I don't know why you're laughing, if I wanted to hit you back, it would have been ten times harder than how you hit me." Chan remarked causing Changbin to fake laugh psychopathically for about five seconds.

"As if." he scoffed.

The rest of us just laughed at them.

We decided to put on a movie and unwind after the tiring day at school, which they let me pick, much to Jeongin's disappointment.

Last thing I remember is feeling comfy and warm laying on Chan's chest as I fell asleep there.

***

I awoke the next morning, still in yesterday's clothes, with Chan's arm over me, in a spooning position.

I rolled to face him, and smiled at his puffy sleeping face, grateful that everything from the previous couple of days was just a massive misunderstanding and that I still had the boy of my dreams laying next to me.

I pressed a kiss on his forehead, lightly as to not wake him. I changed out of yesterdays clothes and put on some of Chan's as I had no clean ones here and then went to find his mum.

She was in the kitchen preparing breakfast.

"Hi, Mrs Bang," I spoke quietly and shyly, "Could I talk to you?" I asked.

"Sure, honey, don't call me that though, you can call me Jessica." she hummed, she was such a lovely woman.

"Okay, well I don't know if Chan has told you but me and him actually are dating." I told her.

"Oh, I know, I can see the way you two look at each other, it's adorable." she chuckled at my obliviousness.

"Oh, right." I flushed in embarrassment.

"Was that all?" she asked.

"Well no actually, something happened and I wanted to apologise to him by doing something nice for him." I told her, smiling at the idea I had. "I just need some help, and the rest of the boys are useless with romantic stuff." I added.

"Say no more, Katerina, I would be happy to help, anything to make my boy happy." she smiled.

"Please, you can use Kat." I told her, not wanting her to speak formally to me.
