JONGIN POV
"That makes no sense. You said Chanyeol is homophobic."
"He pretends to be, infront of his little gang because he's too ashamed to come out." Sehun just stared at my leg after that for what felt like forever.
All my mind was thinking about beating heart. It's obvious. It makes sense to feel like this. I'm not going to be oblivious to the fact that I'm starting to like him.
Hanging around him the past few weeks has given me an insight into his life. He's quiet and calm most of the time. He gets on with life, he's actually pretty sweet to everyone unless they do something to make him be otherwise. I've grown fond of his little mannerisms. It was never my goal to start liking him. I just wanted to understand him.
"Wait. You have a crush? Who?" He interrupted my thoughts.
"Erm HAD. I don't anymore. He doesn't beat me up because of that he does it to show his friends that he's as homophobic as them. His names Baekhyun."
"You can't just let him beat you up like this."
"Don't you think I've tried to fight back?" I didn't understand why he was getting so riled up. Maybe he's afraid Chanyeol will do something to him since I've been hanging around him so much.
"Look I'll stop following you around If you're that worried."
"NO!" sehun shouted, it startled me so much I almost fell off my bed if it wasn't for sehuns quick reaction to keep me from falling.
"I mean, well. He hasn't touched you in school since that day. Because you've been with me and he knows he can't. So don't stop hanging out with me. I'll walk you home or whatever if it means he won't touch you. I'll- i'll protect you from him. Just don't stop okay?"
I didnt know what to say or do. I just stared at him with my mouth hanging open. Confused wasn't even the word to use. It's obvious he cares. He may not care about me necessarily but he cares if I get hurt. I want to understand him.
I want to know why it affected him so much. The look on his face showed me how sincere he was and I believed that he would protect me. I could feel my heart falling for him deeper.
"Don't look at me like that. I still hate you. Fucktard."
