[JUNGKOOK]

The pile of hair forming in thee bathtub is becoming frighteningly large. Who knew I had so much hair? She has finished shaving my hair but I cannot bring myself to open my eyes and see the results. The image of Audrey with her red hair comes to mind, with fiery hair and angry eyes, she looked... hot. 

I had never expected her to flip out like that. That wasn't like Audrey at all. Something else must have been bothering her and I expect it to be the assholes who teased her for months after the prank last year. Her wet shirt. When she finally confessed to me about what was going on, how they had been teasing her mercilessly... I saw red. Right after our chat I went to the boys change room. They never bothered her again. It is my job to protect her, since it was my fault that she was being teased. My little fireball. 

Her fingertips run across my scalp, blunt nails gently grazing my skin. I cannot help but lean into her hands. I crave her touch. I take any chance I get, taking her hand when crossing a road or slinging an arm around her waist.

She murmurs a tiny, "finished" and I open my eyes.

My hair is so short, like peach fuzz covering my scalp. I don't think my hair has been this short since I was five years old. I like it. I peer over my shoulder at Audrey to praise her when I see her sad little face. Her eyes swollen and tinged with red, tear tracks streaked down her cheeks. She has been crying.

My heart constricts. I hate the thought of her crying. I only ever want to see her happy. I want to wrap her up in my arms and keep her safe. She peers up at me with the saddest eyes I have ever seen.

"Whats wrong baby?" The term slips from my lips before I can stop it, but it feels right. 

"Its just- just that your beautiful hair- I shaved it off." She sniffles.

"Its just hair Aud, it'll grow back." I assure her, but she just covers her face with her little hands.

F*ck it.

I pull her hands away from her pretty face and tilt her chin up. Her big blue eyes meet mine and she gives me a wobbly smile. I wrap my arms around her waist, she is rigid at first but melts into my embrace.

The front door slams open, and James runs into the room. Audrey rips herself from my arms and I resist the urge to tug her back by her sleeves. 

"Mr Brown is checking the rooms, you had better get back Aud." James looks between the two of us, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth.

She makes a startled shriek and flies from the room. The front door slams behind her and James turns to me with a knowing smile. I ignore him, sweeping the hair littering the bathroom floor. I had her in my arms. I don't think I can keep my distance anymore.

"Nice buzzcut bro," James teases, and I punch his shoulder lightly.
