One week later....

Sooyoung's POV 

Ever since the incident on the first day of highschool, i've made sure that I haven't drawn attention to myself. I made my classes on time, i've kept my head low, I don't even look at Taehyung or the rest of the boys. 

I of course talk to him outside of school when we walk home, but he and his friends attract to much attention, especially since they recently debuted.

Jungkook isn't as bothersome as before, which I grateful for. He spends most of class time writing in that stupid notebook of his. I tried my best to ignore him as well, still slightly embarrassed about the incident before.

But Jungkook seemed to have different plans. I was in almost every class with him, including math, science, english, and korean class. In each one, we happen to be desk mates. Jungkook doesn't ever hesitate to try to start conversation.

"Sorry Sooyoung, but I have to practice and finish up some recording at the studio, I can't walk you home today" Taehyung sighed as we strolled down the hallway.

"But Taehyung, who is gonna walk me home?"

He smiled sheepishly, "I already asked Jungkook to take you home. He moved into the neighborhood recently so he needs help getting home too." 

"Why him though? I'd rather die. Please don't make me go with him Oppa." I said in aegyo. I don't usually call him Oppa, especially since he is only a few months older, but it works when trying to get him to agree.

"Nope, it won't work this time, it's dangerous at night."

"Ugh fine!" I shouted as I stormed into class.

The bell rung and I stood up, brushing my skirt down as I reached for my leather bag. I strolled out of the classroom and walked down to the courtyard, which was right next to the basketball court.

I noticed a forming crowd near the net. The scene brought in others around the area to take a look as well. I myself involuntarily went to check it out. As I got closer, I was pushed and shoved until I found myself falling. Before I could even react, my body hit the ground.

I felt bruises already forming . Blood trickled down my right arm as i sat up. I was surprised to find I wasn't trampled by the crowd. 

I tilted my head to see a boy, surrounded by 3 others. They each took turns violently kicking him. The boy had dark brown hair, about shoulder length. His bangs, now drenched in his blood, covered his eyes. They were clenched shut as he was brutally beaten.

I slowly stood as eyes of curious kids burned holes in my back. 

"Y-you..... What do you think you are doing?" I shouted at the 3 students. Their movements quickly ceased.

I held myself and tried to hide my now shaking hands. 

"Who are you?" asked the girl. She was one of the three. She had short blonde hair and bright blue contacts. Her over-exaggerated makeup covered up any part of her face that was pretty.

"It doesn't matter who I am, why are you hurting him?" I asked with a hint of confidence as I straightened my back. 

I never liked being confident in front of others, since it usually brought attention along with it.

"Don't get involved bitch, unless you would rather take his place." She spit back at me. The crowd looked at the scene and got bored by the lack of excitement and slowly, the crowd dispersed until there was no one left behind. The girl stared me down, not taking a second to even blink.

The boys next to her also turned towards me, now intrigued. One had a bright blonde hair while the other had bright red in an undercut style.  

Both boys were masks and sunglasses. I'm assuming they weren't students. 

I looked around and smirked. No one was around to witness. 

I don't entirely like to use my powers, but I can't just sit back and watch.

"Let me trade places with him." I said in a commanding voice, no longer held back by others.

"Oh?"

"Only if you can make my requirement." I smirked.

"And why should I do that?" she asked challenging me.

"Because it shouldn't be too hard. Three people against one, right?"

"Depends." she stated unimpressed.

"Land a punch on me, and I'll take his place."





The girl burst out in laughter. It echoed off the court that was deserted, except for us. She brushed her tears away and cleared her throat. 

The boy on the floor groaned. "Are you crazy? Just leave while you can!" the girl silenced him with a quick kick to his abdomen. His blood spilled from his wounds and mouth.

"You're one crazy bitch. But fun. Okay, i will accept you condition. Hell, if we don't make a punch on you, both of you can go" She said laughing. She signaled the boys with a snap of her fingers. 

"Don't go easy on me" I said. 

"Wasn't gonna" she replied before the man with red hair charged toward me. 

I held my hand out in front of me. "Away" I whispered. 

Without even a second passing, the man with red hair was flown across the court. His body slammed against the fence. I balled my hands and slowly made a fist as i pulled the fence he now leaned against around his large frame. Within a minute he was pinned by the fencing and left unconscious.

"Holy shit..." said the blonde haired man.

"What are you doing? Go get her!" She screeched.

I flicked my head towards them and made direct contact with him. He glanced between the red head and I before darting away from the scene.

"Yah! Get back here you crazy bastard!" She yelled. She flicked her head towards me. "We aren't done with you." She growled before chasing after him.

After she had vanished, i dropped to my knees. I pulled my legs to my chest and breathed heavily, trying to calm myself.

"M-Miss?" a small voice called.

I peeked above my arms to see the blood covered boy slowly picking himself up. I followed his actions. 

"I'm sorry you had to see that. I'm not a bad person. I swear I don't want to hurt anyone. It's just that I-"

"Don't worry." He interrupted.

"W-what?"

"I know you were just trying to help. T-thank you" He said in a slightly desperate tone. He walked over to me and pulled me into a hug, which i gladly returned. 

He bent down as he whispered into my ear, "I'm Hwiyoung."

"I'm Sooyoung"
