Crooked

Chapter 8

*Listen to Mine by Bazzi while reading this chapter*

We make it to Bighit and walk down the hall in silence. As soon as we come into sight of the practice room, Jiyong lets go of my hand. I silently sigh and frown slightly. He looks down at me and I look up at him.

"I hope practice goes well. I will see you later." Jiyong tells me. I nod slowly.

"Aren't yoy coming in?" I ask him. He nods.

"I have to make sure they treat you right before leaving." He mumbles and swings open the practice room door. A soft smile forms on my face as I follow him in. Everyone turns our way and all eyes are on Jiyong.

"She doesn't need you to escort her everywhere." I hear one of group members say.

"It's fine guys. He is just dropping me off and he can stay if he wants." I smile around the room. All the looks they are giving me say that I've lost my mind. Yeah I probably have, but I'm happy. Jiyong glances at me and then looks around at everyone else.

"I want to make sure no one treats her like shit.. Like some like to do." He looks over at Namjoon. Namjoon looks over at me.

"Make him leave. We have practice." He tells me. I look at Jiyong and he looks at me. He nods slightly and slowly goes to the door. As he passes me, he quickly pecks my lips, and glances at the boys.

"I will talk to you later." Jiyong says softly. The quick kiss takes me by surprise and I just watch him leave.

"Woah.." I hear Hoseok whisper.

"What was that?" Namjoon voices everyone's thoughts. I turn to look at them all and I smile.

"We're dating. Now let's practice." I quickly say. I move to the middle of the room and wait for everyone else to join me. No one does and I sigh.

"You're dating him?" Jungkook asks.

"She can date whoever she wants." Yoongi says, which makes me smile.

"But he's an ass." Namjoon points out. I quickly turn around.

"Have you ever actually tried to get to know him?" I ask, becoming frustrated with him. The boys all look around at each other and they all shake their heads.

"Then you have no right to talk about him like that." I say loudly and turn back around.

"She's right." Jimin says. I hear a couple pairs of footsteps and Jimin, Taehyung, Yoongi and Jin all take their spots with me. Yoongi looks over at me and gives me the heart sign with his hand. I smile softly as the other boys finally join us.

Practice is going so smoothly until I hear a soft crack and Jimin ends up hitting the floor hard. I hear him cry out and I'm instantly rushing to his side. Tears are streaming down his face as he holds his right ankle. The other guys come quickly and surround us.

"I think I broke it." Jimin groans.

"We have to get him to a hospital!" I say frantically.

"Let's pick him up and go!" Namjoon commands. The guys take a spot and slowly lift Jimin up. They race out the door with me behind them. I can hear Jimin whimpering and my heart breaks.

As we are racing down the hall, I see a figure sitting on the floor next to the wall. We get closer and the figure stands up and turns to me. Has he been here the whole time? Jiyong quickly walks to me and grabs my arms.

"What's going on?" He asks me, searching my face. He lets go of one of my arms and wipes my face. I never noticed I was crying.

"Jimin broke his ankle. We are going to the hospital." I tell him. Jiyong looks away from me and looks at the racing guys. He lets me go and races to them and helps them with carrying Jimin. I collect myself and catch up to them. The guys glance at Jiyong, but this is not the time for fighting and they all just have one mission.
