--The next day--

I opened my red, puffy eyes and wiped my dried up tears with my sleeve. I noticed a blanket was placed on me. I pushed it off knowing it was Jimin and i saw a note fall out of it.

Hey, i made you breakfast. Come back inside, i went to work. We can talk about everything calmly later. -Your ChimChim <3

I ripped up the note and dropped my head in my arms. I curled up to the wall.

I felt someone sit beside me, it was a man with mint colored hair and what seemed to be a butterfly tattoo on his right hand, he sighed and looked straight to the other side of the hallway. I looked to my side, staring at him. He didn't say a word and put his arm around me.

At the time, my heart was shattered.

Nothing matters. Not anymore.

"Nothing..." I said under my breath. Resting my head on his chest.

"I know..." He replied softly and rested his head on mine. I cried on his chest for hours. He just sat there and let me soak up his shirt.

"I-I'm sorry." I said sniffling into my shirt. Wiping my nose, I looked up at him. He cupped my cheek and wiped my tear with his thumb.

I don't even know him yet I've never felt so comfortable around someone.

He took off his hand from my cheek and pinched my running red nose. He gave me a cute smile and said softly "Go wipe your nose with a tissue." He got up and left me. I watched him as he walked down the hall and noticed he left a paper in my hand.

Next time, I'll come get you.
- Butterfly

I blushed deeply, but that went away when I saw a man I wish I never had to see again. Jimin.

"What are you doing still out here? Get inside.." He tried to lift me up until I slapped his hands away.

"Don't fucking touch me." I looked at him and got up from my seat and entered the house. I went straight to the room and got my suitcase out.

"What are you doing?" He said with no emotion, rolling his eyes. He came towards me and held my wrist to stop me.

"Let's talk." He said slightly pouting

"Fine let's talk. Let's talk about how much you make me sick?" I said widening my eyes, I wanted to punch him right in the face. Trust me I will if he keeps pissing me off. I went back to packing until,

"I lied... On the phone." He said looking down, scratching the back of his neck.

"I have to get the heritage for my guy group. There was no other way, so I told them that I could get the heritage and pretended that I was only in it because I loved you but in the end.....I fell for you, for real again." I looked at him emotionless. I paused, then went back to packing.

I finished, picked up my suitcase, filled with all the clothes I had in my closet. Made my way to the door and left. "Give up." I said before slamming the door roughly and made my to outside.

I sat on the staircase outside close to where the apartment building was, waiting, just waiting. I was expecting him to come and to my surprise... He actually did.

He came towards me, sat beside me without saying anything again and put his arm around me.

Suddenly, it was different from before. I wasn't crying. I was happy.

" It seems next time came early. Well, to be honest, I couldn't be happier." He said to me looking in my eyes with a shy smile.

"Yeah, really early." I said slightly grinning then reminding myself about what happened before. I started to frown.

"Come with me." He said, I looked towards him a bit confused at what he just said.

"Until you fix things up, come with me. I'll protect you from feeling this way. Either way I told you I would come get you the next time."

I was in shock then nodded.

What did I just do!? Wait! What!? Did I just agree to his offer?!

He got up and put his hand out, to let me grab it. I did. He, then grabbed my suitcase and walked with me, hand in hand.

"What is this feeling?" I said ,accidentally, out loud.

"I don't know, you tell me. Cause I'm feeling it too." He said, grinning and sooner then I thought we made it to his house.

It looked pretty damn big. I acted casual and walked in with him.

"You live alone?"

He nodded and took of his shoes, telling me to come with his hand. I smiled slightly and followed him.

"Here, you can use this room until you fix yourself up. Oh and I'm not gonna be home a lot so you can go anywhere in the house. Except for my room." He smiled and went to the kitchen, grabbed a piece of cake and shouted out to me while I unpacked.

"Welcome to your temporary home CryBaby!!" We started to laugh until tears came out. I took the cake and began to eat it. It was surprisingly really good.

"I'm glad you like it. Took me a while to make it."

"You made it?!" I was so shocked.

"Yeah. Haha." He laughed awkwardly.

"Hey, after this let's go for a walk." I said to him cutting off the awkward silence. He nodded.

Half in hour later, we got dressed and went walking down the street. We passed by the apartment building where me and Jimin lived. I looked up at the building while we passed by it and a tear fell from my eye.

"You can go back with him if you want, but remember things won't change. I've known Jimin long enough to know, he's one hell of a liar." He said softly, while looking at the building with me.

"That's why he's my rival and that's why I don't want you to be with him. All he's gonna do is ruin your life. He's gonna tell you that he was lying or kidding when really he just wants to use you."

I looked at his eyes that were hallow. I noticed this before.

His eyes were always hollow, even when I first saw him. That time.

"Stay with me. Even if he comes to force you, I will be there to protect you. Trust me." He said holding my hand tightly.
