Jim finished an hour ago so I decided to go home. How did I know? Because I was genetically curious and so I went to see his schedule (which, I don't know by what kind of miracle, I remembered almost all of it knowing that I don't even know my own well) and also because maybe a part of me was hoping to stay with him a little bit longer today.

So I was quietly going home, "Save Me" in my ears, I was fine. However, I had this strange feeling that I was being stared at, that I was followed. To be sure of it, I decided to take a little alley, turn down my music, stop for no reason and turn around. I was meeting Jim's "fans" face to face.

- So you knew Taylor.

- Why are you following me?

- Isn't it obvious enough?

- Not at all.

- I thought you were smarter since you managed to make yourself close with Jim, but well... Long story short, you're pissing us off.

- And why?

- How can a girl like you dare to hang out with my Jim? How dare you put your dirty eyes on him?

- Maybe because that girl is less soiled than you and all of your friends put together.

She shot me with her eyes before she put me against the wall, she leaned and threw, what I think was a threatening look while the others were standing behind her (So pathetic).

- Listen to me, sweetheart, when you're not nice to other people, you have to face your own mistakes and be punished properly.

She raised her hand with the intention of hitting me. I was expecting the impact and closed my eyes, but this one didn't come. So I decided to open my eyes and, I was really surprised, Jim was holding her arm and he looked really upset.

- What are you doing?

- Jim oppa ! Please help me, this girl insulted us.

- First of all, I told you to stop calling me that, I'm not your oppa ! And secondly I didn't think you were that immature.

- J-Jim opp-

- I heard everything, so don't try to make excuses. Don't ever come near us again, all right ?

- Us ?

- Me and Rose.

- You love her that much ?! You really don't care about me, do you?

- No, you're nothing for me, but she is everything. Besides, I don't see how the relationship I have with her concerns you.

- Of course it's my concern if you're dating her!

- What if I told you that yes, we were together, what would you do?! You'll hit her and make her want to break up?

- I-I...

- Go away before I get mad.

She's obeyed , like a little puppy who just was scolded. I was just shocked that I couldn't even move.

- Hey, are you okay, Rose?

- I- I'm okay.

- Good.

How could he speack to me in such a sweet tone or that just a few seconds ago he spoke in such a cold tone, that duality affraided me a little bit but I thought it was just because we were along well and it didn't seem to be the case with that girl.

Suddenly, he hugged me.

- I'm glad I waited for you. I'm so relieved you're okay.

- I'm relieved you're here, too.

My heart started to make things worse but I didn't care, his touch, his voice, just his mere presence comforted me. I just felt good. I wish I could've stayed like this my whole life.

- Come on, I'll take you home.

- Okay, but... can I ask you a question?

- Of course.

- Earlier... Why did you imply that we were dating?
