It'z You [𝟸𝚂𝙷𝙸𝙽/𝚁𝚈𝚄𝙽𝙰]

**TW**: Mentions of nonconsensual sexual acts involving Yuna (but no smut, no worries)

I don't know when it started. When I started to like this foolish, yet charming girl so much. 

I never really paid attention to her until we became partners in this one class for an assignment. That was the first time I've ever recognized her presence. The first time she also left a scarring impression on me. She called me beautiful only to tell me that I would never have a chance with her. I mean, how awful is that?

After that day, I made it my goal to make her mine. Cliché as it may sound, I wanted to chase someone unattainable like her. I wanted to prove her wrong... that I could get her to realize that she wasn't as straight as she thought. Perhaps, this wasn't the best idea to do on a straight girl, but with the way she acted, I know she already fell for me.

And so I bothered her. A lot.

During lunch, I would cut her and with my foolish grin, say, 

"Saved me a spot in line again, Yuna-ssi?"

She would just roll her eyes and of course, push me behind her. Little things like this made me want her more. Contrary to what I wanted, my little game of curiosity had backfired on me. My goal had changed. Proving her wrong wasn't my concern anymore. I just wanted her to reciprocate my feelings.

A month later I gave her a nickname and started to call her 'Yu-Shin' (Pun on "yeoshin", which means Goddess in Korean) in public. I think this may have been the last straw for her.

"Hey, Yu-Shin! Wait up, you forgot something!" (Your crown, I wanted to say afterward), but in a few seconds, I'd realize now wasn't the time.

Despite her hatred for me, she still stopped in her tracks and turned around to give me a death glare, "Ryujin, when will you get tired?"

**She always responded to my antics in annoyance, but I could sense this time was different. I noticed a mark on her neck and my heart dropped.**

Right, she has been hanging out with this exchange student from Hawaii lately. I think his name is Hoeing Kai? Whatever, that didn't matter at the moment.

Without a word, I stood in front of her and gently touched the mark with my left hand. She didn't move away, but she seemed rather taken aback by my actions. 

My eyes drifted from the mark to her glossy eyes, "Yuna... are you okay with this?"

"Mind your own business." She coldly pushed my hand away and continued walking in the direction she was heading in before I stopped her. Right, I shouldn't interfere. I shouldn't, but...

I chased her. Students gave me weird looks but I didn't care anymore.

"Yuna, can you just answer m-"

As I turned around the corner, I saw her pushed against the locker by the same guy I thought about earlier. He was literally shoving his throat down her neck and I could tell she felt uncomfortable by it. Mind my own business, my ass.

With every step I took, my heart pounded faster... louder... I couldn't think straight.

I grabbed a chunk of his hair and pulled him back forcefully.

"What- what the hell do you think you're doing?!"

I stared him down and felt Yuna's soft hands circle my free arm,

"Ryujin..."

The fear in her voice gave me more strength. I only wished to punch him, but now I was determined to teach him a lesson.

"Just minding my own business."

I threw him against the other wall and he groaned in pain, cursing at me. I got anxious, but I couldn't show that I was scared. I couldn't let him win. I felt Yuna's grip on me tighten, but I wasn't done.

"Scumbags like you are the reason I'm not straight. Stay away from her if you can't keep it in your pants." I gave his abdomen one last kick and interlocked my hand with Yuna's, which was still on my arm.

I ran without looking at her.
