The library was quiet as the two best friends sat there studying. Taehyung would take the occasional glance up at London and he smiled seeing her bite her pen as she concentrated on her maths homework. "Hey El." He whispered. She looked up with a soft smile.

"Yeah Tae?"

"Do you want to finish this at mine, it's getting late."

"Erm, okay then...can you ask your mum if I can stay over?" she asked.

"I would but my parents are out of town, just come over my brother is home." He said packing up his stationary.

"Oh okay." London did the same and placed her bag on her back. She looked at Taehyung and took his hand as they both headed for the doors.

It was peaceful in the hallway, they thought no one was there until they heard commotion as the sports hall doors opened. Out walked the gang of set 8s that have a reputation for leaving their victims in the hospital (don't really know how that's legal but oh well).

Taehyung froze remembering the homework he was meant to do for Baekhyun. He completely forgot about it.

He took his hand out of London's grip and walked over to his locker. London frowned and followed him timidly, noticing her tormentors staring at the two of them. "T-Taehyung can we hurry and go, I don't want them to beat you up again." she whispered in a panic.

Taehyung looked down at her and smiled faintly, "You always worry about me don't you. I'll be fine."

"Of course I worry Taehyung you've been my best friend since birth. I'll always worry about you and I don't like the fact you get beat up every day, they make me watch and I can't do anything." she sighed moving closer to him. Taehyung closed his locker and looked into his friends eyes. He saw the deep fear implanted in her big brown pools. "Just know I love you." he smiled.

London's lips grew into a shy smile and she hugged him. "I love you too."

"Oi Tae!" A deep voice beamed from the other side of the hallway. London's grip grew stronger as she heard footsteps gradually approaching them. Her tiny body was suddenly jerked back by Kai and she fell into Sarah, Irene and Renae. 

"Where the fuck is my shit Taehyung, I told you last week this was a big deal. You've fucked up my whole grading." Baekhyun snarled as all his friends surrounded the poor boy. Taehyung got pulled back by his bag and was kneed in the stomach by Marlo.

"Tae!" London sobbed trying to get to her friends aid. Irene and Sarah grabbed a hold of her and Renae held her hair to make her watch the 8 boys beat Taehyung black and blue.

Tears fell from her eyes as she saw blood spilling out of his nose and mouth. They kicked him against the lockers, punched his face and stamped on him.

"Please leave him alone!" She screamed. She fought with all her might to get out of the three girls grip to save her best friend.

"Let go of me!!" She was slapped in the face by Irene.

"Shut the fuck up bitch." Irene spat.

"He's bleeding let me go please, I'm begging you." She pleaded with them but they kept her hostage. London took a bold step and stepped on Sarah's foot making her squeal. She got free and ran over to the boys. She barged passed them and held Taehyung's head. They stopped attacking him seeing that he wasn't moving.

"Tae..." she shook him gently, but he still didn't respond. His eyes were closed and his face was smeared with blood and all his clothes stained by trainer prints.

"Shit, I think we killed him." Sehun panicked. They all ran off leaving London crying over her friends battered body.

She was scared that he was dead. She poked him gently and whimpered. "Please get up Taehyung." Her fingers hesitantly moves to his neck. She pressed them against a vein, checking his pulse.
