Lucy sat in the chair as her boyfriend yelled at her. She had her head down trying to ignore him. She had thought back to when she met v.

Flashback

Lucy was walking to the stairs from her boyfriend's house(before he abused her also Lucy lived upstairs from him). She had seen someone carrying something heavy. She wanted to help him.

"Excuse me do you need any help?"

"Yes" She grabbed the other half of the very heavy long box. The two finally put the box down.

"Thank you" Lucy looked up at him as he smiled at her, She blushed. She didn't get realm a good look at him until then. He had orange hair, brown eyes, tall, and a smile that can take any girls heart

"Ano no problem." She said nervously.

"Your from Japan right?"

"Yeah"

"I'm from here. But what brings you to south Korea?"

"Change of scenery you know."

"I understand."

"Would you like to come in."

"Yeah" The two sat at the table.

"So how is life in Japan?" V asked curiously.

"Not bad, I miss it but I only moved here to get away from home." She leaned her head on her hand.

"Wow"

"How is life here for you?"

"Not bad, fun actually." He smiled as he said it and lucy couldn't help but smile back at him.

"So what do you like to do?"

"Reading, writing, and watching the stars. I don't know why but the stars speak to me you know."

"I want the stars to speak to me, that seems very cool." She giggled as she heard that.

"What do you like to do?"

"You will have to figure it out."

"Awe come on you can tell me."

"As you get to know me you will see."

"Okay I will see, mr?" She giggled as she said it.

"Kim taehyung but you can call me v. What about you miss?"

"Heartfillia, Lucy but you can call me lucy." She looked at her phone and noticed the time.

"I'm sorry v but I have to go. I have work tomorrow." He nodded in understanding.

The two stood up and walked to the front door area. V opened the door.

"Well see you later v." She smiled at him.

"Or soon." She giggled as he stuck his hand out.

"Yeah soon." She shook his hand. She left.

Lucy felt a strong force hit her into reality. She fell to the ground. She looked up at her boyfriend.

"You didn't hear me didn't you." He put his hands around her neck and pinned her to the ground. She put her hands on his trying to pull him off.

"Trent stop it." She managed to get out. He didn't let go and she kicked him off. She ran out the door and downstairs. She looked for v's car. It wasn't there so he wasn't. He sometimes worked late at night. She sat on the concrete waiting for him. She then seen his car pull up and park. As he got his car lucy ran to him and hugged him. She had tears in her eyes.

"V"

"Lucy" V hugged her back. He hated to see her cry or hurt. He wanted to see her happy. She pulled back and looked at him. He had seen a bruise on her face. His face darkened.

"He hit you?" She looked down.

"Did he?" She nodded. He ran up the stairs and she ran after him.

"V stop" He ran in her apartment and punched the guy. He fell and lucy ran to v. She blocked him from her boyfriend.

"V please stop." He looked at Lucy's boyfriend.

"How does it feel to be punched?"

"Your weak and so is lucy. That weakling can block you away from me." V moved lucy out the way and punched him again. Trent started to fight back. V punched Trent two more times and lucy ran in front of him.

"Why are you protecting him?"

"I don't want him to die. I don't want to see him hurt. V please stop." V grabbed Lucy's hand and pulled her to his apartment.

"V"

"Your not going back to him tonight. I don't trust him with you."

"V" He pulled out his keys and opened his door. He sat her down then sat next to her. Lucy stood back up and came back. She put an ice pack on his face.

"V are you okay?"

"I'm fine but what about you." He looked at the dark mark on her face. He grabbed Lucy's hand and took it off his face. He put the ice pack over the bruise. The two laid on the couch. Lucy fell asleep on v's chest. V remained sleepless. He didn't go to sleep until three hours later. Too much in thought of lucy. When lucy woke up in the morning she looked at the time. It was five thirty. She woke up v to tell him she had to go.

"V"

"Yeah lucy" He mumbled sleepily.

"I got to go home to get dressed. I have work." He sat up.

"I will go with you."

"You don't need to."

"I have to. I don't want you to get hurt." The two left to lucy and her boyfriend's apartment. Lucy unlocked her door and walked inside. V followed her. He sat on the couch. Lucy snuck past her sleeping boyfriend and grabbed her work clothes. She went in the bathroom and changed. She came back out. V stood up. The two walked to lucy's car. Lucy got in and v smiled at her.

"Be safe lucy." She nodded. V left and got ready for work. Lucy had an new assignment at work. She had to got to the park and see the difference in couples who show they are on and couples who show they are not. She went to the park and sat underneath a tree. She looked around at the couples. She had seen them happy and smiling. She missed the feeling of smiling with her boyfriend instead of being afraid. Being happy instead of sad. Trusting him instead of wondering if she should. She wiped the tears off her face and thought of v. She smiled after that. He kept her smiling, he kept her happy, he kept her brave. She looked around and got her amount. She started to do her work. V was on his lunch break and decided to take a walk after he finished eating. He thought back to when Lucy's boyfriend first started to abuse her.

Flashback

It was the first day lucy and v met. Lucy went back to her boyfriend's apartment after leaving. He heard lucy and her boyfriend arguing.

"V is a friend."

"It didn't seem like it."

"It wasn't like that." A loud smacking sound was heard then the sound of someone falling. Multiple sounds were heard and then the heartbreaking sound was heard. Lucy screamed and v left out of his apartment. He ran to the apartment he heard the scream from and burst through the door. He had seen lucy with multiple cuts and bruises on her and seen an angery trent. Lucy was in tears. V looked at trent. He was about to hit lucy again but v grabbed his arm. He pushed trent out the way. He nealed down to lucy.

"Lucy it's okay I'm here."

"V" she looked up at him and hugged him.

"Wait your v." Trent said.

"What do you think." He answered.

"You tried to steal Lucy from me."

"Like lucy said I'm just her friend." Trent tried to punch v. Lucy let go of v as he stood up. Trent then tried again but v grabbed his hand. V punched trent. Trent wiped the blood off his lip and punched v. The two started to fight. The next door neighbor broke the two away from each other. She sorted the problem out. V hugged lucy.

"Remember see you soon." She hugged him back.

"Not later." She said to v.

Flashback end

V walked past the park and looked at the tree. He looked under it and seen a sleeping Lucy.

"She works her self so much." He walked up to her and put her things in her bag. He picked her up and brought her back to his apartment. He kissed her head and left back to work.
