"Felix, where are you?" Changbin asked from the corridor. Felix shot up and quickly let go of me. He stood up and walked up to the door, but looked back one more time. He smiled once more and walked out of the door. I literally broke down at that point. I hid myself under the blankets, twisting and almost screaming into my blanket. Did that really just happen?

I felt my phone buzz, and checked it.

Chan:
-Y/N, are you feeling better?
-Can you come to the studio? I want to talk to you

I smiled. He must be stressed because of work.

-I'm doing a lot better
-I'm on my way!

I put my phone away and went downstairs again. I went into the living room and saw Minho. "I'm gonna go to Chan, I'll text you when I get back!" Minho walked up to me. "Do you have to go?" He asked with a serious look on his face. "Minho? What's wrong?" I asked him slightly confused. He didn't answer, but kept getting closer, his eyes never leaving mine.

"Minho?" I asked once more, this time somewhat more afraid. I hit the wall with my back, and quickly got trapped between Minho's arms. "Minho, what are you doing?" I asked again, getting even more scared. Still no answer, just his penetrating gaze. His eyes were dark, hooded, but what scared me most was the lust. After a few seconds he shook his head and removed his arms. "Come on, I'll walk you there" he said as he got his jacket.

Seriously, what was going on here? Ever since I came back from BTS they really have been acting weird. Or is it that I just never noticed until someone pointed it out? Seriously, this is all starting to be too much!

I shook my head to shake away the thoughts and put on my jacket as well. Minho held the door open, and we both started walking. "Why are you going to his studio anyway?" Minho asked, somewhat confused. "You never go there!" I nodded. "I know, but Chan asked me to come over, so I thought I should."

Suddenly a thought seemed to have entered Minho's mind. "Wait, you're telling me that it's just gonna be you and Chan over there? Like, the two of you? Alone? In one room?" I laughed. "Seems like it, why?" Minho grabbed both of my shoulders, stopping me from walking. "He's a guy you know! Guys can... You know!" I sighed. "Come on, it's Chan we're talking about. I grew up with you guys, you won't do anything."

There it was again. Minho's darkened eyes. "Minho, really, what's going on with you today?" He once again put a step closer, but this time I didn't step back. "How can you be so sure?" He put another step closer, now only inches away. He put his finger on my chin, forcing me to look up at his face.  "I just know, now let me go!" I said frustrated.

"Y/N, what did they do to you?" He suddenly asked, still holding onto me. Your brows furrowed. "What do you mean?" Minho got even more annoyed with every second. "You know damned well what I mean Y/N!" I was taken aback by his sudden outburst. "They didn't do anything like that if that's what you're thinking of, but even if they did, that doesn't mean you can yell at me like that!" I shouted back.

"If they didn't do anything to you, then why the heck are you acting so different?" This made me snap. "I'm the one acting different? You guys are acting weird! What's wrong with all of you? You're doing it now! You're yelling at me even though I did nothing wrong, ever since I came back you're just weird!"

"Whatever" he said as he turned around and walked ahead, in the direction of Chan's studio, meaning I should follow him, but instead I slipped away to take a shortcut. It was through some narrow alleys, but I wasn't in the mood to talk to Minho at all.

Even though I was mad at him, his outburst made me think about it. Was I the one acting different? I had to admit that what BTS had said to me made me unsure of how to act around them. Usually I would hug them all or tell them I missed them, maybe even cry in their arms, but all I did was keep quiet this time... Maybe he was right after all.

Suddenly, I saw a group of 5 guys blocking the way. All tall, well built and with a dangerous look on their faces. I wanted to turn around, but there were two more guys, blocking the way back. "Hey miss, don't leave so soon" one of them said. Great, as if my day wasn't ruined enough. Without much thinking, I punched one of the guys behind me, making a narrow space which I could slip away from.

The guy I hit was cursing, while three others were chasing me. I kept running until I saw Minho. "Minho!" I yelled out, crying for help. The guys were catching up to me, since I didn't have that much stamina. Minho's gaze followed the direction of where the voice came from and saw me, with the three guys behind me. He ran towards me and stopped when I was almost there. He held out his hand, which I instantly took while running, and he pulled me along.

After a long time of running through the endless alleys, we had finally lost them. We stopped running, and I sat down leaning against a wall, trying to catch my breath, with the tears still in my eyes. "Gosh, Y/N, I'm sorry" Minho apologized. "For the guys chasing me or your outburst?" I asked, still slightly annoyed. He sighed. "I was just concerned, what's so wrong about that?" I looked back down. "Even if you're concerned, why did you think it was a good idea to shout at me? What did I do to deserve that?"

When the tears actually started flowing, his look immediately softened. I wasn't crying because of the argument, or because of some guys chasing me, but simply because my whole mind was a mess. I didn't know what to think, who to believe, who to trust, or rather, who to talk to to tell the story, and share my worries with.

"I'm sorry Y/N, you're right" he said as he crouched down in front of me, wiping the tears away with his thumbs. "Come, let's keep going, just in case those guys come back" he said in a soft voice, holding out a hand to help me up. He kept holding to make sure I wouldn't run away again, but mostly just to comfort me and make me feel safe.

Once we reached the JYP building, we stood still in front of it. "You'll be okay right?" he asked worried, to which I just nodded. "I'll be fine, don't worry. Thanks for walking me here and helping me out just now." He once again looked at me, worry still in his eyes. "Y/N, I really am sorry for what I said, I didn't mean it." I shook my head. "It's okay, you were right... I guess I just needed some time alone to think everything through that happened."

"You know that I'm always here for you to talk right?" He got closer and once again put my hair behind my ear, keeping his hand on the back of my head. He smiled and leaned in, closing the gap between our lips. It was just a quick peck, but still contained a thousand feelings. He slowly moved away again and put my hair behind my ear. "It's my job to worry about you. Be safe Y/N!"
