Love me if you DARE

Respect

Later that night as Jung Mi was walking home late at night. She felt as if someone was following her. She stopped walking for a moment and looked back. There was no one. She started to freak out a bit, so then she quickly ran home. She got home safely, but why did it feel even more tense. She quickly ran upstairs to her room. Her father was still at work, so she was home alone.

She decided to take a deep breath, and calm down. After a while she got a text from her father.

Jung Mi's father: I'm sorry, I won't be home tonight.

Looking at the message, Jung Mi sighed and laid on her bed. Then she got another text message. But it wasn't from her father this time. It was Taehyung.

Taehyung: What are you doing right now? Did you get home safely?

Jung Mi sighed again and thought to herself.
"Is he really kidding me right now?" She didn't even bother to reply. She went to take a quick warm shower. After she was done she took out her homework and put them on her desk. Her window was opened, so she heard glass breaking and people fighting. She looked down her window. And saw a group of high school gang beating up a student about her age. She looked carefully and saw his uniform. He went to the same school as her. She didn't want to get involved, so she called the police, and tried to slowly close her window. But her window had to be so loud and creaky at that time, that the group of gang looked up and saw her.

"Hey! What are you doing? Were you spying on us!" said one of the guys.

Jung Mi was flustered and didn't know what to do. So she froze there.

"Hey! Come down here right now!" said another guy in the gang.

Jung Mi was going to hide until the police came, but she remembered what her father taught her when she was little. So she talked to them and kept them there until the police came.

Jung Mi: Hey!
(She yelled back.)
How dare you guys cause such a loud ruckus in my neighborhood!

"What!?" Said a guy.

"Hey, you come down here right now!" Said another angrily.

Jung Mi: Don't you guys have anything else better to do than beating up high school kids?

"Hey!! Get down right here!" said one of the guys really mad.

Then the police came, as soon as they heard the sirens, they all quickly ran away. The police quickly chased after them. The high school kid that got beaten up was on the floor picking up his bag and items.

Jung Mi quickly went out to help him.

Jung Mi: Are you okay? You seem badly injured.
(She asked worried, helping him.)

"I'm okay. I don't need your help. " Said the high school kid coldly.

His head was lowered. It was like he didn't want Jung Mi to see who he was.

Jung Mi: I'm Jung Mi. What's your name?

"I have to go." Said the boy as he quickly got up and left.

The next day at School.

Jung Mi sat down in her seat as she took out her items. Taehyung came and sat in the desk in front of her, facing towards her. Everyone in the room's attention was towards them.

Jung Mi: What are you doing?

Taehyung: Did you get home safely last night? Why didn't you reply to my text?

Jung Mi: I didn't want to. You can't force me.
(She said not evening looking at him as she stood up and walked out the class.)

Taehyung: Wait for me.
(He said following.)

Jung Mi stopped walking when she saw Jungkook. His face looked all beaten up. Her eyes widened. But Jungkook ignored her and walked by.

Jung Mi: Wait.
(She said quite loudly.)

Everyone in the hallway froze and looked at her, except for Jungkook. Jungkook kept walking as if he didn't hear her.

Taehyung: Woah! What happened to your face?
(He said teasing him as soon as he saw Jungkook.)

Jungkook: Get lost.

Taehyung smiled.

Taehyung: Why are you so mad? Are you upset that you got beaten up on your first day of transfer?
(He asked as he got closer and closer.)
That means no one wants you here. This school is only for high class! A low class like you need to know your place!

Jung Mi: Stop it Taehyung!
(She said pushing him away from Jungkook.)

Taehyung: Do you know him? Why are you protecting him?
(He asked quite flustered.)

Jung Mi: Whether I know him or not, doesn't matter. Just please stop acting like this! It makes me pity you.
(She said walking away.)

Jungkook: Whether I'm a low class or not, doesn't matter, because you don't deserve my respect anymore.
(He said walking away as well.)

Taehyung was left there dumbfounded.

Taehyung: What are you all looking at!
(He said embarrassed and upset.)
