With Bangtan Boys

I'mWith You From Now On

[SU GA POV]

I saw Jin jump a bit, probably from surprise, and his coffee was momentarily forgotten. What? Did something shock him? I was gonna think when something small bolted past me. I let out a scream and fell. Something then jumped onto me and something sticky lapped over my face. I realized it was a dog when I heard it bark.

Great.

Jin didn't move during this. He set his mug on the counter and caught the dog in his hands, carrying it in his arms.

"Eyeliner's dripping all the way down," he sang, holding one finger to his eye and sliding it down his cheek. I touched my own cheek and felt slime on it. Ew.

"Omygosh I'm soo sorry," Jin smirked. He looked at the dog in his arms and scratched between its ears. "Where's your owner buddy?"

"Buddy?!" I was startled. My best eyeliner got ruined because of that dog and now he's calling him kiddo?! What the hell?!

"What the hell's going on over there?" Something, or rather, someone, burst through the door. The guy looked messy: dirty clothes, messy hair and a terribly familiar face and voice.

Max Changmin.

Whats he doing here? And why like this? I sat up abruptly, knocking my head from one of the corners of the table. Ignoring the pain, I shot him the first thing I had in mind.

"Get lost."

Jin's smirk was wiped off and he had something in his eyes that said the same thing. But the next second, he looked concerned.

"Look... I - I can explain," Max said between heavy breaths. "I Swear... I can... Just-"

"Look here," I said. I stood up and grabbed him, slamming him into the wall. I heard Jin gasp but I didn't care. "If you're hear to try and harm anybody, then now's the chance to get outta here. Stay one more bloody minute and things'll get rough for you."

"I...know...I...just...need...to..." He struggled to say his words with my hands round his neck.

"Su Ga," Jin ordered. "Let go of him."

"Why? Don't tell me you're taking his side. Did you forget what he did to her?"

Jin shot a warning look. "No. He said he'll explain so let go of him."

I hesitated. I don't believe him. Max literally tortured us. I don't see why Jin would act so kind on him. But I did as I was told. I released my hands from his throat and he rubbed on it, groaning.

"You have a lot of explaining to do."

[FAST FORWARD TO HALF AN HOUR LATER]

[MAX POV]

So here's the story: When I first came to the school I wanted to be with BTS but got "brain-washed" by Kyu Hyun and Tae Min. Later when I heard the plans to get Ji Ryeong I immediately wished to return but was held back by Kyu Hyun in particular. Soon I made the decision to officially bail out on them and reject them in their face.

I don't know how I went with the detailed explanation. Really. I could only sit quietly after that and wait for a response.

We were in the living room with the rest of BTS. I saw Ji Ryeong among them and I felt that something wrong was bound to happen from the way she stood with her arms folded. Worse, Sung Jae and Dong Woon were present as well. Now I knew that they would beat the shit outta me.

The silence that followed my explanation was creepy. Within seconds of absolutely nothing heard, not even from our puppy guest, goosebumps crept up my arms. I sensed movements as the boys exchanged glances with each other.

Finally, V spoke up.

"I don't trust this guy," he said firmly. "He's the one who ripped off Rapmon's sunglasses ON PURPOSE."

"Adding the fact that he was about to kiss the poor thing," added J-hope, jerking his head in Ji Ryeong's direction. I kept my head low.

"I know that," I said quietly.

"Sure you do!" Jung Kook's temper was rising. "You're like the bait of TNM! You're the one always sent to do things for the other bitches! Basically you're the one messing up!"

The other boys nodded in agreement. Sung Jae's jaw was set in a way that meant you're so dead and his heavy breaths and hard stare emphasized just that.

"Exactly what I'm trying to tell you," I spoke up, a little louder than before. "They use me as bait. Are bait always happy being bait?"

I think I made a point because the room fell silent.

"Well..." Ji Min said. " No?"

I looked up, anger boiling inside me.

"Right. No. So you you think I'm happy being bait? No. You think bait would be willing to do jobs they are given? No! You really think that I did terrible things to you guys for one stupid goal and for the fun of it!? NO! THAT'S THE REALITY OF IT ALL!"

I was yelling and on my feet by the time I finished my rambling. The boys seemed startled by my behavior, even the dog cowered behind a wide-eyed Su Ga.

Ji Ryeong however didn't budge. She didn't even looked the least bit surprised.

"Ya know something?" Jin spoke up. "Since she knows of what's going on, let Ji Ryeong decide. It's only fair."

The room went silent once again, and I heard a few murmurs and nods from the boys. Nodding once as well, she stood in front of me and I felt her fingers slide through mine. I guess I'm the surprised one now.

"Max," she said in a low and calm voice. "Promise me you won't harm anyone of us."

I kept quiet, clearly taken aback, then I recovered and replied, "Yeah. I promise I won't harm anyone of you. Not only that, I will also help protect you from those... Bitches."

I heard a few stifled giggles from the boys. Slowly they began to grow louder until all of us were laughing really hard. Even Ji Ryeong smiled. My comedy? Allow me to handle it.

"What?" I said in my attempt to act confused at their behavior. "I only said BITCHES~ What's wrong with saying BITCHES~ I don't see anything wrong in saying BITCHES~"

"I think that's enough please," said Ji Ryeong, shaking her head.

"As you wish my fair lady," I replied in a formal manner. I felt something hit the back of my head hard and I turned to see Jin.

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't see you there." He whacked my head again and I yelped.

"You're not blind are you?" I returned the sarcasm.

"Im not but he is," he added, jerking his head over to a glaring Rapmon.

"Half blind. Besides, I'll get better soon."

"Speaking of getting better how's your nose?"

"It still hurts thanks to you."

Pretty much almost the whole night passed by in a flurry of jokes and laughs. At least they approved of me joining their side and I'm glad they're fine with that.

Now the hard part is to let TNM know about this.

How about grabbing them into public and doing so? Nah. Too obvious. I'll just ask BTS about that. But first. Let me sleep. Good night!
