JUNGKOOK;
"Jungkook" Paige opened her eyes and smiled, okay well maybe not.

"Paige, what you did back there-" she didn't let me finish.

"They deserved it, I don't regret doing it. I like you Jungkook, I couldn't let them get away with it" she said.

"I-..." I stopped, she likes me?

"You like me?" I asked looking at her.

She now had her gaze toward the Summit, the same one that never fails to give me the creeps.

"Did I say that?" She asked as she bit her lip, I know she probably didn't mean to say that but I loved to tease her.

"Yes, yes you did" I smirked at her as she blushed. I smiled at her reaction, the way her cheeks turned to a rose color was alluring.

"Whatever" She said and tried not to smile. I kept my gaze on her while she had hers on the woods.

"Thank you" I said and she looked at me, finally.

"For what?" She asked.

"For defending me from Gavin and dandelion... or whatever her name is" I smiled.

She chuckled a bit, I'm sure she enjoyed me making fun of the girl like that.

"It was nothing" she said as she bit her lip. A move she does that drives me absolutely crazy.

"Oh I met your dad" I said and she looked at me again, this time with her eyes widened.

"W-what happened?" She asked with worry.

"He told me to call him Sterling" I smiled, "He also told me that he liked me because of my 'firm' and 'strong' handshake"

She slowly smiled, "He likes you?"

"Yeah, he even smiled" I answered as she rose her eyebrows.

"Wow," She said and looked forward again.

"My dad met Gavin one time and immediately told me after that he didn't like him" she laughed as I smiled.

A bit of her hair fell out of place, and the sight stirred up an urge in me to push it out of her delicate but I chose not too.

The smell made me calm from the lingering scent it held.

I inhaled, why did she always smell so sweet?

She lifted up her hand and put the strand behind her ear. Now I could barely smell it.

She set her hand back on her knees, my gaze never left her hand as she did so,

I could sense a bit of pain from her and her hands radiated more of it.

I could see that she had bruises and fingernail marks on both of her palms.

I grabbed her right hand with no second thought crossing my mind, it's like my movements acted before my brain could.

She gasped and quickly took it back,

"Paige" I spoke softly. The thought of her hurting herself made me sad.

Why would she do that?

"It's nothing" she spoke fast, she was lying and I could tell. She usually never lies, but this time I could see right through her.

I could see her pain, sense it... feel it, and I wanted to help her. I wanted to make her feel better.

She covered both of her palms completely with her sleeves.
