Johnny

A man that seemed on his late thirties glares at me. His eyes then direct towards Ten. But Ten refuses to look back, he grabs onto my shoulder and covers his face with my body. I turn back to the man that barged in. He is seething with anger.

"You kid leave in this instant!" The man yelled at me, but Ten never let go. I promised to stay with him.



I won't leave him.

"I told you to get off of my son!" Ten's supposed father yells. But Ten's grip tightens around me and I squeeze him back.

I don't know how my muscles moved on their own, but I feel myself rise with Ten in my arms.

I run past his said father and catch a bus coming from the street behind. When the bus stops I pay the driver in a matter of seconds, and tell the driver to move. Ten is too fragile to move on his own. I remember a coffee shop around my parent's neighborhood. I take him in my arms bridal style and sit him on a chair inside the coffee booth.

"J-Johnny, you don't n-need to help m-me" Ten says softly, his voice is so small.

This is not the Ten I met yesterday.

"I'm not leaving you alone, I need to protect you. Ten you are special for me" I say in honesty.

Ten deserves all the love in the world.

"Do you have a relative living around here?" I ask after a while of companionable silence.

"No, only Jisung" he responds coldly, his eyes turning watery. He needs to know how Jisung is doing. Where is Jisung anyways?!

   "I want a green tea slice of cake" I hear someone's familiar voice. Could it be Yu-"Ten!" He screams and makes his way towards our booth.

"What happened to you?" He asks urgently, he sounds like he will murder someone.

"M-my father is b-back" Ten said in between stutters.

"That guy came back!" Yuta shrieks with hatred.

Ten nods his head and shivers uncontrollably. What should I do?!

Before I could even move, Yuta takes ten from my side and hugs him.

"Yu-Yuta!" Ten gasps loudly, watching them together makes my heart warm. But out of no where Ten starts crying.

"Do-Don't t-touch me!" He squeals and skids back to my side. Why are they acting like this? What are they?

"Yuta I think you should lea-"

"I didn't even know you were here Johnny, so shut up!" He yells and runs out the shop.

Ten is silently crying on my lap.

"Sorry, but you will have to order something to stay here." A waiter said to me. I smile and try making the situation less tense.

"Okay, I want an Americano" I say and pull out my remaining money. I give it to her.

"Keep the change as long as you don't interrupt us or push us out" I said, she nodded and left to make my coffee.

"Ten, why has this happened?" I ask him intently,  he slowly moves away of my body.

"That's not the correct question. The correct question is, what really happened?"

God, I shouldn't have asked.



I'll protect Ten with my life, from now on until death.

    OMG, NCT 127 is back with and I just can't live anymore. They are so amazing at everything they do. I even forgot to publish this chapter yesterday, because I got too over excited. Have a great day my people 💚💚💚!
