Safe Haven (Seulmin)

The Knight in a School Uniform

Seulgi's POV

I ran down the stairs and headed to my classroom, earning a glare from Ms.Wendy for coming in to class late. I quickly apologize and walk to my seat, not daring to look at Jimin. I could feel his stare on me the whole entire class time, causing me to shift uncomfortably in my seat. Why was this guy staring at me? Soon the bell rings, signaling the end of the day. I quickly pack my things and rush out, hoping to avoid him and get home. As I leave, I feel a hand grab a hold of my wrist. Please don't be him. Please don't be him.

" Yah, Kang Seulgi. Why were you late to class? I thought you were right behind me," Jimin says, tightening his grip on my wrist. I slowly turn around and look at him, my face turning a dark shade of red. I didn't want to tell him I was late because of him and his stupid wink. I look down, trying to think of a good excuse.

" I-I th-thought I left something up on the roof, so-so I went back up," I blurt out, looking at the floor. I can feel people whispering and eyeing us as they exited the classroom. He sighed, relieved.

" I thought something happened to you," he said, a small smile on his lips. My heart began pounding in my chest at his words. Was he worried about me?

" It's kind of late. I'll drop you of at home," he says, pulling me out of the classroom by my wrist.

" It's okay. I can go home by myself," I reply, trying to free my wrist from his grasp.

" Nonsense. I can't let a pretty girl walk home by herself. What if something happens to you?" he says, showing me his adorable eye smiles. I begin to blush, looking away.

" It's really fine. I should get going or I am gonna be late for the bus. Thanks for the offer," I say. With one last tug, my wrist is free and I begin to run out of the school. I reach the bus stop and sit down, tired from the running. After a few minutes, the bus comes and I get on, finding a seat near the window. I close my eyes and plug in my earbuds. Suddenly, I feel a presence sit down next to me. He was about my age, but judging from his school uniform, he was from a different school. He looks at me and has a mischievous smile on his face. I look down and try my best to ignore him. Suddenly, I feel a hand on my thigh. I turn around and see the boy next to me touching my thigh. I push his hand away, but he doesn't stop and puts his hand on me again. Please stop. Please stop. I didn't want to create a scene and be placed in the center of attention. His hand slowly goes up my thigh.

" Yah bastard! Get your hands of my girlfriend!"  someone shouts, punching the guy next to me. I could recognize this voice from anywhere.

" Park Jimin," I whisper, looking at the orange haired boy.

Jimin's POV

I decided to run after her, quietly stopping a few feet from the bus stop. I watch her sit down and pant, probably tired from the run. I smile. Next time, I should take her to a gym. I shake my head at this ridiculous thought. Why did I want to go to the gym with her? It's not like she would go with me anyway. The bus approaches and I watch her go on. I hesitate on whether I should follow her or not and at the end, I follow her onto the bus. She doesn't notice me go on and I take a seat a few seats behind her. I watch another boy sit next to her and jealousy builds up in me. I observe them and notice how she shifts in her seat uncomfortably. What's going on? I slowly creep up behind them and see him touching her. Anger rises in me and I completely lose it.

" Yah bastard! Get your hands of my girlfriend!" I scream, surprising myself and Seulgi with my choice of words. I punch him, causing him to fall out off his seat. People in the bus were looking at us, but I didn't care. He was touching her. He apologizes and runs off the bus for we had just reached a stop. I was about to go after him when suddenly a hand grabs my wrist. I turn around and see Seulgi, with tears in her eyes.

" Please. It's okay," she says, not meeting my eyes. I sit down next to her and lift her face up. Two tears slowly trickle down her face and I use my thumb to wipe them away. I look at her and blush, realizing how close we were. She pulls away, her face slightly red.

" Thank you, " she whispers looking out the window.

" It's fine. I'll take you home," I say looking at her. She silently nods and points to the exit, signaling for us to get off. We got off and walked the rest of the way in silence. We stop in front of a small, cozy looking apartment. She turns around and faces me.

" Thanks for taking me home," she says, looking down on the floor.

" No problem. From now on, I'm walking you home so wait for me. Don't you dare leave without me," I say, slightly blushing at my response. Why was I always saying these cheesy things when I am with her?

She looks away and silently nods. " I'm gonna go in now. Thanks again," she says, turning around to unlock the door. Without thinking I grab her wrist and spin her around. She looks at me surprised.

" Seulgi, let's be friends," I blurt out. She looks at me for a moment and smiles sadly.

" I don't think you would want to be friends with someone like me," she says.

" Why wouldn't I? Let's be friends," I say, slightly pouting. She looks at me with an unreadable expression and nods her head slightly, a small smile appearing on her face. I let go of her hand.

" See you tomorrow at school," I say, giving her one last look and heading off home. I turn around to see her enter her house. I smile like an idiot as I walk, happy that she agreed to be my friend.

Unknown POV

" HE SAID WHAT ?!?!" I shriek, scaring my friends. What Jimin and Seulgi didn't know was that there was someone on the bus with them at the time, watching the whole scene.

" Who's the girl? The one that Jimin protected," I say, looking at them with eyes of fury.

" The new girl, Kang Seulgi," one of them reply.

" Kang Seulgi. How dare she interact with Jimin? He is mine. That girl just made the worst mistake of her life," I say, my voice coated with malice. You messed with the wrong girl, Kang Seulgi.

So... How was it? Who is this unknown girl? What will she do to Seulgi? Hope you enjoyed this chapter and look forward to the next one!
