"Namjoon?" J-Hope squatted beside me. I've been laying here for only a few minutes because I don't want to get up and face the world.

I didn't answer him, I just slowly sat up, wiping at my tears.

"I'm okay." I lied.

"Namjoon." He put his hand over my own, which I hadn't noticed was resting on my stomach, and pushed on it. I groaned in pain. He didn't bother asking me what happened, he just helped me up and carried my limping body to the nurse.

People laughed as we walked past which I'm sure took a toll on Hoseok. I squeezed his shoulder comfortingly.

I noticed Jin and Yoongi standing the crowd with them, only Yoongi laughing out of the two as they stared us down. We arrived at the nurse soon enough.

"What seems to be the- oh. Namjoon right?" The nurse turned around to look at us. I nodded quickly, helping Hoseok sit down in a chair since he had broken into a sweat. "What's wrong?"

"Help him nurse, his stomach." Hoseok lifted my shirt.

"Oh my." She gasped. "Come with me." She quickly walked off. I looked back at Hoseok and he grabbed my hand.

"Go ahead Namjoon, I'll wait here."

"I don't want to go alone hyung." I whispered to him. He stood up and lead the way the nurse went, dragging me behind him.

I didn't feel safe with being alone around here. I feel like I'll get beaten against a wall if I'm caught by myself. Nowhere is safe.

He helped me sit on one of the beds to get treated. The nurse came over after a while with ice and a bag. Hoseok took the ruined blazer off of my arms and put it on the back of the chair he was sitting on.

"Jin must really like you. He's never done this much for his friends." The nurse muttered.

"Huh?" I asked. She set the ice on my stomach and gave the bag to Hoseok.

"He brought you his lunch."

"H-he what?!" I gasped, holding the ice so that it stays while I sit up. He noticed my wincing and pushed me back down. The nurse left us.

"This is really expensive food." He said after looking into the bag.

"Hyung, is it a lot?" I asked softly.

"Yes, it's a full family meal in here." He said with a big smile.

"Then you keep it. Share it with Jungkook." I told him.

"Didn't he bring this for you?"

"You need it more than I do." I smiled. "Jimin and Jungkook are probably still waiting for their lunch. Take it to them hyung." I told him. He took out his phone and started typing.

"They're coming here, we're all going to eat this together." He said as he put his phone away.

"Hyu-"

"OMG IS THIS UDON?!"

...

"We're here, what's that matter?" Jimin asked as he dragged Jungkook behind by his hand.

"Namjoon's lover got us food!" Hoseok exclaimed.

"Hyung, he's not-"

"We have food?" Jungkook asked softly.

"We were wondering when you would come back. Why are you here?" Jimin asked. I pointed to the ice pack on my stomach. "Oh.. does it still hurt?" I nodded.

"But I don't want to eat any of this. You all need it more than I do." I told them.

"But you didn't eat hyung." Jungkook said.

"I'm not passing up free food." Hoseok said as he was already halfway into a sandwich.

"Oh can I have some hyung?" Jimin asked excitedly. Hoseok nodded and offered the sandwich to him, in which he quickly took a bite from. "What's in it? It tastes so good~." He gushed over the flavor, making me laugh a little at how adorable he was.

"Something foreign, he can afford things like that."

I looked past what he said after Jungkook brought something to all of our attention.

"There's a note on this apple juice." He was about to open it when he saw the little white paper. "You should read it." He passed it me.

I read it to myself first, knowing that I would read it out to them later.

Take my lunch as my apology. I will teach my friend how to treat nice people like you. Don't worry about getting caught up with him again, I'm watching over you.
            ~Jin

W-what? What does he mean by this? He's watching over me? Why? I looked around at my friend's as they had gone quiet, waiting for me to tell them what the note says.

"It just says to enjoy the food." I lied with a chuckle and stuffed the note into my pocket.

"He's so nice to you hyung. I think he likes you." Jimin smiled. Him? Like me? Is that even possible?

I only shook my head in response, feeling the heat rush to my cheeks in seconds.

...

Time went by and they finished the lunch on their own. I had a few bites of what they were eating occasionally but that was it.

Hoseok and Jungkook had already left to go back to class. The bell had rang recently. Jimin stayed behind to help me clean up the mess, as he had to get up to go spend their free period in the dance studio. Jimin planned to catch up with them but I wanted to go to the roof.

"Hyung, I'm going." Jimin smiled at me. I nodded and watched him go. I felt a bit better about being alone, my friends always made me feel better.

I got up from the bed and gathered my things. I gave the ice and the bag back to the nurse and thanked her for caring for me before leaving. I was still a little hurt but not as much as I was before.

I left the nurses office and started for the stairs to the roof. Once I reached to top, I was happy that I didn't encounter someone who tried to hurt me.
