CANDLE | KIM TAEHYUNG

.t w o.

I was woken up by a loud thud and to my surprise, screaming.

I jerked my head up as I frantically leaped up out of bed.

Adjusting my pajamas and hopping into my slides.

"What the hell is going on!" I hollered. I saw Hoseok fly by me and nearly race down the stairs. "Jungkook STOP!" I heard a scrambled Hoseok plea.

I made my way downstairs in confusion. What the hell was going on?

My eyes landed on another girl.
This must've been Valyncia.

She was short with short curly hair and big brown eyes. Everything about her was cute.

Her brown skin seemed soft and her lips were thin and pouty.

"I don't know why you're acting all bitchy!" I heard Jungkook snap.

Valyncia and Jungkook were mere inches from each other. I saw hatred building up in Valyncia's eyes.

Hoseok peered over at Valyncia and he seemed a little startled. "Oh she's black." I heard him say.

I soon realized that they assumed that Valyncia was white.

My face turned pale as I soon understood the entire situation was due to racial profiling and I felt my ears turning red.

What the hell was wrong with them?

The fact that I just woke up made it worse and I watched for a moment as Jungkook inched closer to her.

Jungkook was practically screaming at her and I blinked to see if whatever was happening was indeed real.

"I don't even know your fucking name you loser!" she said in pure defense.

Her fists were ready to swing as Jungkook inched closer and closer. He was laughing at her irritation and started mocking her.

Hoseok pulled Jungkook away from the new girl and I without knowing was at her side, my hand protectively at her shoulder.

"He assumed my race and then gave me a weird look, like can I help you?" She jerked her head at him.

"We can fucking fight! I don't even know you. You thinned lipped meanie." She screamed at him.

It felt like a wildfire was happening and it needed to be stopped fast.

Because there was language used that I didn't even know existed.

I gulped as I heard them scream at each other and I was just looking at Hoseok who was looking at me.

I see that we both felt the same about what was going on.

"I see you two have met." I said sarcastically. I looked down at Valyncia who was staring at Jungkook as if he were the devil.

I had no idea what they were fighting about but it was clear that first impressions were made.

Shit I'd be mad too.

"I didn't even do anything." her voice was soft and her tone showed multiple signs of confusion.

"Like what the fuck did I do to you? I just got here!" I looked her up and down and for the most part it was true.

I saw her bags at the door and she had a box in her hand. I took the box from her and I shot a look at Jungkook as if to tell him to get the fuck out of doge.

"Well I'm Y/N, i heard that you are Namjoon protege." I gave her a smile and I gestured for her to follow me upstairs.

For a hot minute she was still cursing under her breath as she took up the stairs after me.
