His Protector (Jaehyun x male reader)

Facing him

The next day

(Y/n)'s pov

After another sleepless night with Mao at his side on the small bed as usual.  I get up and start to groggily get ready for school.

It was the normal routine, brush my (h/c) hair, brush my teeth, and dress into the school uniform.

After inspecting myself in the mirror that I look good enough for the day. I step out to the kitchen to feed Mao and grab a small fruit on the way out of the door, locking it behind me.

I'm dreading to reach the school, because it's just another day of torture and Jaehyun probably will ignore me like everyone else does everyday.

Time skip

Quietly walking up to the school, seeing others enter. My black and white sneakers stop in the dirt as I mentally prepare myself.

"You'll be fine. Just another day of school, getting by and ignore Taeyong."

It's also Friday so that means the weekend is coming up and that's the time to relax and binge watch shows with Mao. But for now it's just survival time.

Taking a deep breathe, I finally take the steps up to the door and open it to get into the school.

I hope no one chooses to bother me today. I want just want to avoid everyone and that would be including Jaehyun. The event from yesterday is still engraved into my mind and still makes me feel embarrassed. Plus Jaehyun probably wasn't even serious about what he said and only did it to be nice.

But when everyone already hates you, it's not that hard pretending to be invisible. Simply because you are already to them. Unless they feel like bullying you that is.

I quickly look to walk right for my locker and pack the books and papers I need for class, into my backpack. Trying to quickly get to my class.

Walking by, I hear the usual whispers.

"Why does he even bother coming to school?"

"Wow, what a freak."

"I heard he got abandoned by his own family."

I try to ignore all of it like usual, just walking by like I don't hear them.

"Walk and ignore. That's all I have to do."

It all seemed to be going well, at least until I feel myself bump into something... again.

"Please, not again."

Slowly looking up, I meet eyes with the one and only, Jaehyun. The last person I wanted to see.

"Hey, (y/n). You feeling any better?"

"....." I just kind of stood there frozen, with my eyes wide.

If I was in an anime, I probably would have dots above my head, like "Trying to process.... Please ask the question later.".

I could feel the stares on us. They were probably all thinking the same thing.
"Why is one of the most popular guys, talking to the outcast, nicely?"

Once I get tired of the stares and quiet whispers, I just run. Right passed Jaehyun, passed every student walking the opposite direction of me. But it felt like I was fighting the ocean. You can't get through the big waves that push you back onto the shore.

I continue running until I see a bathroom at the corner of my eye and immediately run inside it, right into one of the closest stalls and shut it behind me. Just sitting down, panting as I try to catch my breath.

Just leaning against the wall as I sit on the toilet. Not even caring who is coming into the bathroom as long I'm not found like this.

But sadly that did not come true, instead it's the opposite of the situation.

As I sit in the stall, not even wanting to leave for class, as more tears are wanting to fall from my eyes. I hear the door to the bathroom open. I ignore it thinking it's just some random person needing to piss.

"Hey, (y/n)? Are you in here?"

"Crap. I recognize that voice." I voice in my head as I sit on the toilet seat, hoping he will just go away.

"(Y/n), it's me, Jaehyun. Are you okay? I heard people say you ran in here. If you're here can you knock on the wall?" Jaehyun says as his footsteps get closer to the stall I am in.

It seems inevitable and knowing Jaehyun he won't leave until he knows I'm fine.

I sigh, deciding to just get it over with and knock on the stall door in front of me a few times. Immediately the foot steps come closer in front of it.

"Hey, are you okay? Can you open the door?" Jaehyun says in a hushed, worried voice, the way one would talk to a scared animal.

More tears wanted to fall as my anxiety got worse from being confronted then to being stuck in a school bathroom with my crush.

Taking a big breath, my trembling hand reaches for the lock and slowly clicks to unlocked. The door swings open slowly as it shows the standing body of Jaehyun.

He looks down at me, eyes showing worry. We barely know each other and yet here we are already seeing each other again.

"Hey, why are you crying, (y/n)?"

"Why does this always have to happen to me..."

Hey, sorry for the really late wait for an update. But now that I've made a schedule, His Protector should get updated every Monday to every other Monday
