Namu walked down the street like a zombie. Her hair was a mess and her eyes were swollen from crying. The wound ay the corner of her mouth stung, but she didn't care.

She just wished she could disappear from the face of the earth.

"Look who decided to walk around town."

Namu kept walking, not in the mood to listen to their bullshit. A hand pulled her by the hair and dragged her to a deserted park. She fell flat on her but and she didn't bother to get up.

"Can you come back another day? I'm not in the mood." Namu grumbled. As always, it was Jaesoo, Jina, and their friends. "It's summer break. Don't you guys have lives or something?"

She really didn't mind their bullying as she thought it was stupid. She just didn't want to fight back for the sake of the boys.

"What's with the sullen face? Aren't you supposed to be the happiest girl sleeping around with NCT?" Jina taunted.

"First of all, I was hired as a choreographer and got closer to them because I'm an actual decent human being. Second..." Namu lazily got up and grabbed her by the collar. She punched her square in the face, satisfied when she saw the girl's nose bleed. "You can talk shit about me but never talk about my boys like that."

"This bitch! Babe look what she did to me!" Jina whined.

Namu rolled her eyes and mocked her. "Babe my ass. You've slept around with all his friends and that's a fact."

Jina's friends were quick to jump on Namu, but the girl didn't falter. She really wasn't in the mood. She kicked off lackey number one and elbowed the other in the stomach.

"Just because I turned you down doesn't mean you should try to make my life a living hell, Jaesoo. If I hurt your pride then go fuck yourself you stuck up prick." Namu sneered.

"A bitch like you should have never been born!" Jaesoo shouted.

The words were enough for her to lose all confidence. The same words she had heard from someone she loved so dearly echoed in her head. She bit her lip and tried her best to keep a straight face.

"Grab her!" Jina commanded.

Jina's friends grabbed her and held her by the arms. She didn't bother to move as Jina came closer. She began to punch, slap, and kick Namu. It went on for a while, until Jaesoo spoke up. "Jina, I think that's enough."

"Enough? She probably broke my nose!" Jina reasoned. She took something from her purse and grinned. It was a switchblade. "I say we give her something permanent."

"Okay, stop!" Namu recognized that voice. It was Donghyuck. "Everyone standing there except for Namu has the right to go fuck themselves."

Namu weakly looked to the side where the voice came from. Donghyuck and Chenle stood together, blocking the entrance of the park.

"Although you're still minors if we take this to court your parents will pay." Chenle said. "I wonder how you're going to do when I hire the best lawyer in Korea."

"What the hell do you mean?" Jina spat.

"Ah, it looks like our dear friend is stupid. Let's tell her properly, okay?" Jaemin's tone was like a kindergarten teacher. "If we sue, your parents will be the one to pay for your actions. You wouldn't want that, right?"

"I think they can go to a juvenile detention center." Renjun said.

"Either way it's bad right?" Jisung asked. "I suggest you put that switchblade away while they're still being nice."

"Of course she has to be saved by NCT." Jina rolled her eyes. She put the switchblade away and folded her arms.

"Roll your eyes one more time and I'll poke them out." Donghyuck warned. The five boys walked up to the group. "All those without dicks kindly move to this side please. As much as we want to hit you we don't want to be charged with animal abuse."

The three girls moved to the side and let Namu go. Jaemin helped her keep her balance as her legs were still wobbly.

Donghyuck and Jisung went to restrain Jaesoo while Chenle and Renjun kept the other girls in place.

"Why are you guys here?" Namu murmured.

"Because you're an idiot for not telling us about them." Jeno responded, walking in with Mark. The two exchanged glances before separating.

"We'll make a deal here. If you refuse, you'll regret it." Mark said, pulling out a flash drive.

"What's that supposed to be?" Jaesoo asked.

"Proof of bullying, threats, physical harassment, and cyber bullying of Namu is in this flash drive. My phone has the video of you taking the knife out on her." Mark explained. "Proof of defamation of both NCT and SM entertainment included. Do you understand what it means if we bring this to the authorities?"

"Are you blackmailing us?"

"What if I am? Where's your proof?" Mark questioned. "It's our proof against your word. It's our company against you losers."

"What do we need to do to keep the information a secret?" Jaesoo asked.

"Babe you're really going to—"

"Shut up!" Jaesoo barked. "You stuck up bitch I should have never listened to you."

"Leave Namu alone. Don't even breathe or look in her direction. Don't talk about her in any way. If I ever see you even try to talk to her..." Jeno said, walking up to Jaesoo. He forced him to look him in the eye. "I'll kill you."

"Anything that happened here will be a secret. If we even see a post or hear a rumor we'll forget about our deal and we'll submit the evidence to the police." Mark clarified.

"We'll take the deal!" Jaesoo said. The two boys holding him let go and Jeno shoved the guy. He glared at the three girls who looked scared. They all ran away, leaving Namu and Dream.

Jeno walked up to Namu and showed his back to her. He lowered himself slightly and looked at her. "I'll carry you back to the dorm."

Namu reluctantly got on his back. He wrapped her arms around his neck as he adjusted her for a more secure hold.

"I'm sorry." Namu's voice was soft but loud enough for them to hear.

"You idiot, you didn't have to worry us like that." Donghyuck said. Renjun sighed and slapped the back of his head.

"Hey!"

Jeno walked ahead, wanting to get her treated immediately. He slightly tilted his head to the side. "Rest your head on my shoulder. If you want to cry hide your face in my neck."

She placed her face in the crook of his neck and took a deep breath. His scent was comforting. After a while, Jeno felt the tears soak the collar of his shirt.

"You're safe with me." He assured.
