Safe Haven (Seulmin)

The Lie

Seulgi's POV

I close the door to my apartment and watch Jimin walk away, a big smile on my face. I squeal and jump around the room, so happy that I actually made a friend, especially since that friend was Park Jimin. After a few more minutes of hoping and squealing, I jump on my bed, closing my eyes. Is this a dream? Did someone actually ask to be my friend? I let out a squeal of delight and roll around in my bed, wrinkling my sheets and making a mess on my bed. After a few minutes, I stop, tired from the tantrum that I threw and decide to take a shower and go to bed early, having finished most of my homework in class. I shower and go to bed, thinking about Jimin and my new friendship.

The next day, I wake up early and head to school, a small smile plastered on my face. I haven't rememered a day when I actually smiled while walking to school. Park Jimin was slowly changing me, for the better or for the worst, I didn't know. As I reached the school gates, I check the time. I still had twenty minutes before school started. I enter the school gates, then suddenly, a girl grabs harshly at my wrist and drags me away.

" Please...let go," I whisper, tugging hard at my wrist to free it from her grasp. She didn't answer and tightened her grip, causing me to yelp in pain. She drags me to an isolated area behind some trees and harshly pushes me to the ground. I fall on my knees and try to get up, but two more girls appear and hold my shoulders down, tightening their grip when I struggle against them. As I kneel on the ground, a few more girls appear out of nowhere, smirking at the sight of me kneeling. My blood boiled with anger, but there wasn't anything I could do. I was outnumbered.

" So this is the famous Kang Seulgi that you guys told me about," a girl with wavy, black hair approached me. Her uniform looked slightly inappropriate for school and she had so much makeup on her face that she could join the circus as a clown. I'm guessing she was the leader of this gathering since the others seemed to only know how to smirk. She harshly grabbed my hair and I yelped, biting my lip from crying at the moment. I begin to have flashbacks of my dad and all the times he did this to me when he come home drunk. Mom was there to protect me, but... she isn't here anymore. She begins to laugh and lets go of my hair, looking me up and down as if I was some aminal at the zoo. She smirks.

" I don't see what Jimin sees in you to actually help you on the bus. He was probably pitying you cause you look so pathetic, " she says, her smirk deepening as she watches my expression fall.

" Wow... this nobody actually believed that Jimin cared for her. Funny isn't she?" she laughs, gesturing her friends to do so as well.

" Listen Kang Seulgi. I will only warn you once. Stay away from Park Jimin. He will never be yours cause he is mine," she says, her face so close to mine I can feel her hot breath on my face.

" Who-ho are y-you?" I ask, looking down. She scoffs at me question.

" Who am I? I'm Oh Hana, Park Jimin's girlfriend or... soon to be," she says, an arrogant smirk on her face. Wait... Oh Hana? Wasn't she known as the prettiest girl in school? Why would she even consider me an opponent? She looks down at me and motions to one of her minions to give her something. I look up to see her holding a carton of eggs, a mischievous smile on her face.

" To make sure you remember my warning, I have a little surprise for you. Just think of it as a gift from me," she says, throwing a raw egg in my direction. It hit me on my head and I can feel it dripping down my hair. I tried moving, but her friends were stronger. She slowly threw the eggs at me, hitting me in a different area each time. When she done, she grabbed a bag of flour and poured it on my head, laughing has the flour mixed in with the raw eggs. Tears threatened to fall out of my eyes, but I held them in.

" Have a eggcellent day," she says, faking a smile and walks away. I get up, only to fall back down. My legs were shaking and the tears that I have been holding in slowly fall down my face.

" Hey, are you okay? " someone says, getting down on the ground to inspect me. I look up to see who it was and saw a beautiful girl, shorter than me, but absolutley stunning.

" I'm fine," I whisper, my voice shaking.

" No, you're not. My name is Irene by the way. You must be the new girl, Seulgi right?" she asks giving me a warm smile which I couldn't help but return. I nod slightly.

" Come on. We should go to the nurse and get you cleaned up," she says pulling me up and dragging me inside. She was strong for such a small girl. Her strength took me by surprise. We enter the nurses office and she gives me a questioning look.

" She got into a slight accident on the way here. Someone had grocceries and it accidently spilled when the person bumped into her," Irene quickly says, signaling me to agree with her. I silently nod in agreement. The nurse looks at me suspiciously, but then nods.

" I think I have some spare uniforms in the back," she silently gets up and rummages through the shelves. '' Go to the bthroom and clean up as much as possible," she says handing me the spare uniform. We quickly thank her and walk to the restroom, Irene helps me clean up the flour and eggs. When we got most of it out, I change into the spare uniform. It looked kind of big on me, but overall, it fit. We quickly rush to class. Irene waves goodbye to me as she runs to her class. I smile at her apologetically as I watch her disappear and I enter class. The class stares at me as I walk and Ms. Wendy glares at me.

" Kang Seulgi, why are so late to class?" she shouts at me.

" I-I got into a accident on my way here," I stutter, looking down. Ms. Wendy looks me up and down, before telling me to go to my seat. " If you are late one more time, I will give you dentention," she says strictly, turning her attention back to the board. I nod and quickly take a seat, avoiding Jimin's questioning stare. I can feel his stare on me the whole entire time in class. Hana's words kept repeating in mind. Did Jimin really hang out with me because he pities me? Tears began to build up in my eyes on that thought. Did he really pity me? When the bell rings signaling lunch, I quickly rush out of the room, ignoring the fact that Jimin was shouting my name.

Jimin's POV

" Yah Seulgi! Wait for me," as I watch her run out of the classroom, not giving me a second glance. Why was she ignoring me again? I thought we became friends yesterday. As I leave to find her, my friends stand in front of the door.

" Jimin let's go to lunch," V says, running over to drag me by my wrist. I pull free, earning a questioning look from them.

" Sorry, I can't eat with you guys today. I have someting to do," I say, trying to escape them to go look for Seulgi. I give them an apologetic smile and rush to the roof top, only to find it empty. Where is she? I take a seat on the bench, hoping she would come. I wait the whole lunch period, but she never did. I head to class, only to see Seulgi, sitting on her desk with her head down. I go to my seat and look at her, a sad sigh escaping my lips. Why are you avoiding me Seulgi?

What is going to happen between Seulgi and Jimin? Will they continue to stay friends? Hoped you enjoyed the chapter and look forward to the next one!!!!
