they look so good here wtf-
she flinched but looked up after. "h-Hyunjin Oppa..." she muttered after seeing him with a baseball bat. jiha looked at the drunk man that was about to harass her, he was on the floor, probably knocked out. she started to break down and fell on the floor. she buried her face in her arms and sobbed. good thing there weren't any people there.
"Are you okay?..." Hyunjin said, clearly indicating he was worried for the younger girl. jiha didn't answer and just started to cry even harder. Hyunjin took it as a no and hugged her. surprisingly, she returned the hug and cried in his arms.
"o-Oppa, I was s-scared... I d-didn't knew what t-to do.." she quietly said in between her sobs. "I know baby, I'm sorry for not coming earlier. I'm sorry, don't cry, hm?" he said while kissing her forehead. after a minute of trying to calm the girl down, they stood up and made their way to the convenience store together.
after picking up the drinks and some snacks too, they went back to the company building and to the practice room where the boys were probably waiting inside.
"Hey, what took you guys so long?" lee know asked as Hyunjin handed him the 3 plastic bags. jiha looked down and just sat in the corner of the room. "what's wrong with her?" chan asked while worriedly looking at the girl who just had her head down.
"um, there's this drunk man. you know, started harassing our baby, then, I just whacked him in the head." Hyunjin quietly said trying to not trigger jiha. the 7 guys started to get even more worried about jiha. "but um, I think it's best if you guys don't bother her for the meantime?" Hyunjin added.
"I'll just maybe talk to her." lee know said while standing up. he walked to jiha who was silently crying and sat down in front of her. jiha looked at lee now with her sad eyes but looked down after.
even though they just met 2 weeks ago, lee know already acknowledged her as his own sister so he felt really angry about the incident earlier. he pulled his sister into a hug and wrapped his arms around her.
"you're okay, right? he didn't do anything to you, right?" he quietly asked. she cried and wrapped her arms around his waist. "i-i'm fine.." jiha muttered but he still heard it. the boys were just looking at the two siblings hugging which made them smile. lee know is clingy, but he isn't the type to comfort someone like this so it was really heartwarming for them to see this kind of moment.
