I'm Not Yours To Protect

Chapter 23

Writer's POV

The sunlight bursted through the windows and nearly blinded him. "GODDAMMIT! SHUT THE CURTAINS!" Chanyeol screamed, thrashing and kicking the sheets. Eunhyun was standing next to the window dressed in her uniform, folding her arms she smirk evilly. "Wake up, we have school." Now officially pissed, he fought furiously with the sheets to defend himself from the piercing sunlight.

          "Just 5 more minutes...pleaseeee." Chanyeol whined, sleep still in his voice. Eunhyun bites her lip in thought and pretend to be considering his request before she replied him with a cold "no". Chanyeol rolled around in her bed until he ended up on the bedroom floor.

It has been 5 months since they started as a couple. Yuri and her group of friends has stopped bothering Eunhyun ever since that day. Eunhyun has been receiving love letters from guys and Chanyeol has been burning each and every one of them. It has been a peaceful 5 months or so they thought.

Chanyeol's POV

"Next month is your final year exam, if you don't do well don't even think about going to a good university! In fact, if you fail you're going to see me for another year. Especially you Park Chanyeol!" I clenched my fist as I stared at Juho, he was flirting with my Eunhyun! Why the hell do they have to be seating partners?!

          Juho has his hand resting at the back of Eunhyun's chair and he kept whispering into her ear. His face was looming uncomfortably close to hers and it irks me to see it. Eunhyun awkwardly shuffled away from him and she visibly tenses up, an obvious sigh of discomfort. "Park Chanyeol! Are you even listening to me?! Mr Ong kept nagging, staring at me with a stern expression but I couldn't care less. The spotlight was on me right now and I could see multiple pairs of eyes looking at me. Juho still has his attention at Eunhyun.

          I groaned at Mr Ong's annoying lecture and ruffled my hair in frustration. I leaned back on my chair and was about to reply but something caught my eye. Juho kissed Eunhyun's cheek causing her to softly gasped and quickly push him away. THAT DID IT!

          I slammed my hand on the table and stood up, causing my chair to fall backwards. The sound of my action caught everyone's attention. I ventured from my seat to Juho's and quickly grabbed his collar, pulling him away from Eunhyun. "Park Chanyeol! What do you think you're doing in my class?! Let him go at once!" Mr Ong yelled and marched towards us. Juho had a wicked grin plastered on his devilish face, his eyes saying, "I dare you to hit me." But I didn't, the memory of what Juho said to me 6 months ago suddenly flashed in my mind. "And I swear if you ever touch me again, those kisses won't be the thing she will get from me next time."

My remembrance was interrupted when Baekhyun pulled me away from Juho. Everyone else has their butts stuck to the chair, watching us in bewilderment. Mr Ong stood in between both of us, "I don't know what is going on in here but absolutely no fighting in my class! Chanyeol, I expect you to stay back after class." I groaned at him and was about to argue back but Eunhyun stared at me, telling me not to add fuel to the fire. Juho was gruntled by hearing me getting into trouble, it was like a bully feeling satisfied by hearing a child whine. I had to wrestle with the urge to grabbed Juho once again. Swallowing the formed lump in my throat, clearly holding back my anger, I sign in defeat and nodded my head.

After class

"Chanyeol, I don't know what has gotten over you but seriously fighting in class? You do know that if you fail final year you have to spend another year in high school without Eunhyun right? Eunhyun is a very smart and nice girl, consider yourself very lucky. You have one more month so you better use your time wisely and buck up!" Mr Ong stood in front of me, folding his arms and started lecturing. Due to the large differences in height I had to look down and stare at his shiny bald head.

What he said did make sense though, I am a lucky guy to have Eunhyun and I don't want to stay another year here without her! I nodded my head lazily and blandly and asked whether i could leave now. He has been talking for 30 minutes now. Mr Ong let out a deep sign and dismissed me, I sling my bag over my right shoulder and walked out of the door. Before I left he said, "Remember what I told you Chanyeol and don't forgot it."

Maybe it's time to take my studies seriously, just for this one month. I walked through the surprising deserted hallway, i furrowed my eyebrow at the silence. The only thing that could be heard was my footsteps. "Where is everyone?" I asked myself and scratched my head in confusion. The quiet was then shattered, "Chanyeol!"

I jumped at the sudden called of my name and turned my heel to come face to face with Taemi. She has her body bend and her arms resting on her knee, she started breathing heavily. I couldn't quite understand what she said with all the breathing but I somehow got it. "There's a fight outside of school, Baekhyun and Juho are fighting."

I thought my ears were playing tricks on me and I stared dumbly at her. Taemi tugged at my shirt and pulled me. Realisation hit me and I dashed out of school.

Writer's POV

When Chanyeol got there, literally everyone in school was there. Crowding around Baekhyun and Juho, all had their phones out and their camera flashing. Chanyeol pushed his way through the crowd, his eyes immediately flashed over to Baekhyun who was beaten up on the ground with Eunhyun tending to his wounds.

Juho stood opposite of them with his head up high. He scoffed at the scene in front of him, "So weak, you can't even lay a finger on me. What makes you think you can protect Eunhyun?" Taemi quickly rushed to Baekhyun.

It took him a moment for him to register exactly what he was seeing but when he did, he was beyond pissed. Chanyeol didn't want to cause a larger scene and fight with Juho so he walked towards Baekhyun to help with him out.

          A sob was heard causing him to stop in his tracks, the cries and sniffles were coming from Taemi. His eyes were turning dark of anger and he gritted his teeth. Chanyeol's sweaty hands curled into a fist to the point that he felt his nails piercing through his thin skin. Juho turned his gaze at Chanyeol but before he could speak, Chanyeol took a step forward and his fist came in contact with his face. Juho was caught off guard and stumbled back a bit but quickly steadied himself.

Chanyeol's hand was shaking uncontrollably, "There are three things that one shouldn't do if they don't want to be killed by me." He growled as he clenched his fist. Juho tilted his head and gave a smug look, "And what is that?". Chanyeol stepped forward as he raised his voice, "One, touch my girl." Juho cracked his knuckles preparing his fists. "Two, hurt my friends." Chanyeol took another step forward, "And three, make my friends cry, and guess what buddy? You just did all there of them."

          Juho launched his body at Chanyeol and tried to punch him but Chanyeol pursed his lips together and easily dodged the punch from Juho.

          They go back and forth throwing fists and landing punches but Juho soon misses and Chanyeol took the opportunity to beat him. Chanyeol grabbed him by the head before slamming it on the ground, he stopped as he thought Juho had enough. Standing up, Juho coughed and hold his head before rushing at Chanyeol once again and throwing his fist causing both of them to fall to the ground. "WOOHOO! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!" The crowd was cheering constantly, not missing out on the fight.

          Juho punched Chanyeol's jaw, his eyes thirsty for blood but he managed to flip both of them over. His knee pressed against Juho's chest and hit him hard in the face multiple of times. A gasp was heard by Eunhyun, upon hearing her, Chanyeol stopped and stood up. "Don't ever touch my girl and my friends again." Juho laid motionless on the ground, not uttering a single word.

         Eunhyun unconsciously pushed her body into him, burying her face into his chest. Chanyeol gladly welcomed her and tightened his grip. "Are you okay?" She felt him play with her hair while his other hand stroked her back. A smile adored her face against his check and nodded her head in response.

          Chanyeol pulled Baekhyun to his feet and patted his back. "I knew you could do it." Baekhyun smiled idiotically at him before his body gave up on him and collapsed. With his fast reflexes, Chanyeol managed to grab a hold of him. "Let's get you home."
