I'm Not Yours To Protect

Chapter 4

Eunhyun's POV

I ate my burger like a tiger imaging it was Baekhyun I was eating. I stared at Baekhyun while he was busy flirting with my bestfriend. Even though I was pissed at Baekhyun and extremely annoyed with the presence of Chanyeol I still can't help glancing at Chanyeol. Do i like him? NO i met him yesterday.

I shake that thought out of my head and continued eating when I heard squeals of girls close by. My eyes twitched when I saw 5 girls flirting with Chanyeol while he was eating, clearing not giving a damn about them. Sadly, when he glared at them, they mistook it as if he was interested in them and starting fangirling. Idiots !

I slammed my hand on the table and stood up. "YAH! Can't you tell he's uninterested at you bunch of pigs! Leave and let me eat in peace." I yelled with irritation in my voice. I thought they would leave having seen my outburst but these girls were persistent.

"Who are you to tell us to leave? Are you Chanyeol oppa's girlfriend?" The supposed leader of the group asked me. What do they mean oppa? We're the same age omg.

"Yuri, there's no way she's Chanyeol oppa's girlfriend, i mean look at her." The shorter girl mocked me, causing all her friends to burst out laughing at me.

I have to admit, i was hurt by that statement but i couldn't back down. Before i could open my mouth, "tsk there's no way she would be my girlfriend." Chanyeol scoffed. I knew it... he is an asshole, i can't believe i took interest in him. "But she's way more attractive than 5 of you combined." Chanyeol added.

My eyes widened and my heart skipped a beat. No guy has ever compliment me that way before, especially when being compared to Yuri, Yoona, Taeyeon, Seohyun and Sunny, the 'prettiest girls' in our school. Well to the guys they are the prettiest but to the girls they are the bitchiest.I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and paid attention to the situation .

Yoona looked at Chanyeol with teary eyes, "Oppa! You don't mean that do you?". I scoffed at her, she has always been known as the drama queen in our school. Well, she is in the drama club. What a fake bitch.

"Actually I do mean it, don't make me repeat it again." Chanyeol replied almost immediately without even looking at Yoona. Taemi glared at them and chased them away, "You heard Chanyeol, you 5 don't stand a chance against Eunhyun so shooo."

"Get lost, I'm losing my appetite with you girls around!" Baekhyun added on. Yuri snarled at Taemi and Baekhyun before walking off, bumping onto my shoulder causing me to fall on my bottom.  "Let's go girls, this ain't over yet Eunhyun. See you next time Chanyeol Oppa." Yuri gave me a look pure of venom and immediately changed her expression when she looked at Chanyeol.

I let out a loud sign and was about to stand up when a hand appeared infront of my face. I looked up and saw Chanyeol lending me a hand. "What has gotten into him?" I thought to myself. I took him hand and effortlessly he pull me up from the ground.

"Urm, I'm so-sorry about those girls." Chanyeol rubbed the back of his head and looked down, avoiding my eyes. "It's okay, no big deal." I laughed awkwardly. Just when Chanyeol was about to reply the school bell rang, indicating the end of lunch and the start of the next lesson. "I have English now, maybe see you later?" I rushed off to my next class as i didn't want to face that awkward situation.

Eunhyun's POV

It has been a month since that say, I haven't had a proper conversation with him since then, probably because I have been avoiding him. I just needed to clear my feelings, I can't be liking a guy again... I'm just not ready for it. What's worst is how my grades has been dropping drastically. My A's are now B's!

I signed, i have been thinking about him too much lately. Even now in Math, I'm thinking about him. "Eunhyun, do you want to watch a movie after school today?" My seating partner nudged me.

"Ani, we have a physics test tomorrow. You know I can't afford to get a B again." I signed, feeling bitter at the thought of not hanging out with my bestfriend again.

Taemi frowned at me, fake tears forming in her eyes and staring at me with her infamous puppy dog eyes. Taemi would always do that because she know i couldn't resist it. However, my grades are important to me...unfortunately... I hope she won't get pissed at me.

"How about we hang out on Saturday?" I asked, trying to get an agreement with her. "Saturday?!"

"Yup, I guess i could give up my anime day for you." I emphasised on the 'p' in yup. "Hehe, you're the best!" Taemi hugged me and flashed me a smile. I pushed her away, resisting the hug. All of a sudden, a whiteboard marker flew towards us and hitting the wall in between us.

"YAH! KIM EUNHYUN! GU TAEMI! STOP TALKING!" Mrs Kang yelled at us. Taemi and I squealed out of fear and shock, afraid of what Mrs Kang would do to us.

Eunhyun's POV

I walked out of class with the strap of my bag over my left shoulder. "Eunhyun, I'll text you about our plans on Saturday." Taemi poked me cheek and ran off somewhere, probably looking for Baekhyun.

Maths was my last lesson for the day. Thank god Mrs Kang let us off the hook this time, she can give horrifying punishments you know. I trembled recalling the last punishment she gave us, i was gravely traumatised by it. Anyways time to head home and prepare for the Physics test tomorrow.

I turned my body to the direction of the exit of the school but stop rooted to the ground when i saw him. He was just wearing our school uniform which was a white button up shirt and dark blue pants with a tie hanging loosely around his neck but that was enough to make my heart flutter. How can someone look so good in our school uniform? The tall man walked towards me as soon as he saw me.

I had to look up as the man is nearly 20 centimetres taller than me. "Erm, i have a flavour to ask you." Chanyeol looked away, a slight tint of pink appearing on his cheeks. What is he doing, is he embarrassed or something? "What is it?"

"Erm welll..."

"Spit it out"

"I have never asked for help before so..."

"I'm leaving." I said with frustration as i couldn't stand him beating around the bush. I walked past Chanyeol and was about to head to the exit when I felt a grip on my wrist.

Writer's POV

I need help with the test tomorrow!" Chanyeol yelled and pull Eunhyun's wrist towards his body and into his embrace. Not being able to control his strength, he may have pulled her a little too hard. "Wh-what?" Eunhyun questioned him with her face against Chanyeol's chest.

"Oh mianhae!" Chanyeol released Eunhyun from his tight embrace and apologised. "I need help with the physics test tomorrow." Chanyeol repeated once more and this time not avoiding any eye contact. "Please..."
