Your POV
You had run, for the first time in your life you had let your body take over your actions. You knew you couldn't go home. If you even tried you knew there would be hell to pay. You crouched down in the middle of the sidewalk making people curse you and yell. You didn't care, you were a mess. You kept scolding yourself for not running before signing the papers. You hated yourself for letting him use your fear against you.
You moved your shaking hand to your throat, it hurt so bad to even touch it. Your sobs came out raspy and broken. You were trying to calm yourself down when a stranger bumped into you making you fall on the concrete hard. Your hands taking the worst of the tumble. They were now scratched and bleeding. You forgot your pain for now as you got up out of others way and moved into a nearby alley.
You laid your back against the cold bricks and slid down slowly feeling it scrap your back when your jacket and shirt lifted a bit on the way down it. You pulled your knees up to your chest trying to create some warmth. As you were running you hadn't noticed just how windy and cold it had gotten but now that you were sitting still it was very evident. You shivered, not knowing if the shutters were from you being cold or the crying you were doing.
You weren't sure if you regretted it, you weren't even sure what was more regretful, running away or letting your monster of a step father have his way once again. You liked to think of yourself as strong but when it came to that man, he could reduce your confidence in an instant leaving you nothing more than a crying baby. As you sat there you were pulled away from your emotions when a loud roar hit your ears. "Great, it's going to rain." You said as you pulled your hood over your head.
Just as you thought about how unlucky you were you started to feel the first cold raindrops hit your already chilly hands. You couldn't stay out here like this. You moved your shoulder bag over in front of you and you searched for your phone. You clicked on the name and prayed they would answer. The multiple rings hit your ears, but it was no good. Krystal was probably too busy with Jackson to even hear her phone. The rain was coming down hard now, you were already soaked in no time. You moved further into the dark alley trying to find any shelter you could as you pressed dial on your phone hoping this time would not be like the last.
His POV
After leaving Taehyung behind screaming like a baby over his phone, I had gone into the studio. Namjoon had come in as well to ask me to listen to a beat he had gotten from Pdogg asking if I had lyrics to go with it. Of course, he knew I would have notebooks worth. We sat close together with the beat blasting as we flipped page after page. This new album was set to debut soon and even though we had some good tracks already we still needed that title track to really make it pop.
This was our third album release but only our second mini album. It had been titled School Luv Affair. I couldn't help now thinking of the irony of the title. Now that Y/N was back around it seemed a bit more realistic of a title to me. With her in my mind I stood up and walked to my desk. I opened the bottom drawer and pulled out a notebook that had dust on it and the pages were yellowing and tearing apart. I blew on the cover making the dust fly around me. I coughed as some got in my throat.
Namjoon looked at me with his eyebrows creased in confusion. "What's that?" He asked unable to stop his curiosity.
"It's a notebook filled with poems I wrote in my last year of middle school." I said as I carefully flipped the fragile pages searching for the one page that I needed. I smiled wide as I found it. Namjoon moved closer to me to see what was written on the page. My mind was already somewhere else.
I watched as she giggled to her friend. She didn't talk to anyone else just this one girl. I haven't stopped watching her since day one. Of course, she wouldn't notice me. I couldn't blame her, I hadn't really done anything to be worthy of her glance. I couldn't help wishing she would though. Wishes can't just be granted I have learned. If you want something you have to work for it. I sat day dreaming like I always do. Y/N knew who I was in my dreams unlike in reality. I wasn't just a stranger that was too scared to say anything. I was Min Yoon Gi, the guy she laughs because of, the boy who was brave enough to speak to her. My dreams were better.
"Yooki, are you asleep?" Suddenly, I felt a smack to the back of my head which worked to bring me back to myself again.
"I'm sorry, I was listening." I said before looking up and being ashamed to see my teacher looming over me tapping her toe on the titled floor.
"Yooki…"
"Actually…" I started to cut her off. I hated how she always got my name wrong. I was trying to correct her when she slammed her pointer on my desk making me jump in shock. I looked at the end of her pointer that was now making the page of my notebook crumble.
"This doesn't seem to be class notes. Since you would rather write this and sleep in my class instead of paying attention why don't you share this with the rest of the us." My mouth hung open. I couldn't read those words out loud, I could already see me being the butt of everyone's joke after they heard it. "We're waiting." She said scooting the notebook towards me and crossing her arms in front of her.
I stood up shakily as I fought my stutter to read the words on the paper. Sweat dripped from my head. God, I want to die.
"I want to be your man,
I'm hungry for your love,
I want to be your man,
I will have you, just watch."
My face flushed red as the class exploded into laughter. The teacher tried to quiet them down, but it wasn't happening. That ass Jackson was on the floor rolling in laughter making everyone laugh harder. I quickly sat down and turned my red face towards the window that I sat next to silently wishing I could jump out it. My gaze landed on her reflection. Everyone around her was still laughing but was I wrong to think she was looking at me with pity on her face. Why didn't she laugh with the others? I buried my head on my desk falling asleep for the rest of the class.
The memory now didn't have the same feeling as it did then. I remember only being embarrassed and broken. I decided from that day on that I would not do anything else that made me stick out. I still wonder why she never laughed. "This is good, why don't we get the others and…" Namjoon started to say but was halted in his words as a ringtone started blaring loudly. "You still have Tae's phone, you know that boy will go crazy without it right?" He said making me chuckle.
I lifted the phone to see who it was calling. My chest squeezed when the name finally registered in my mind. I quickly motioned for Namjoon to be quiet. His eyebrows creased again before he finally got the hint and held up his hands in a surrender motion and quietly left the room. I took a deep breath to calm myself before I hit the green button to answer the call. "Hey, Y/N." My voice squeaked from the excitement I felt and I instantly facepalmed myself from the embarrassment.
"Min Yoongi, I am s-so s-so-sorry to call y-you like t-th-this but I…" Her voice was shaky and broken and I felt the instant panic well up in me. The sound of her voice made my chest tighten.
"Y/N, what's going on?" I asked my voice now just as shaky as her own.
"I-I need he-help. I-I ha-have no one el-else to call." I could hear her tears through the phone. She didn't even have to finish the sentence before I had left my chair and ran as fast as I could down the hallway searching for the one person I knew could take me to her. I listened to her cracking words which seemed to propel me forward. It didn't take me long to burst into our team practice room. I knew he would be there.
"Where are you Y/N?" I asked as the others in the room ran up to me worried of my expression alone.
"I am about thirty minutes to Daegu, I know i-it is as-asking a lot, but I do-don't know what to do." I grabbed Jin's arm and squeezed hard, he winced at the pain but didn't ask questions. I mouthed the word keys to him and he ran to find them. I had my license, but I know I couldn't drive on my own in this state of panic
"Y/N, it's fine. I am coming to get you, but I need you to tell me exactly where you are." I ran my hand through my short hair. I was watching the locker room door waiting anxiously for Jin to show himself again.
"I-I don't k-know where I am. I-I am in an alley." She sounded so unlike herself. She sounded so small and my heart ached. Jin came back swinging the keys for me to view. I didn't wait for him as I ran from the room to go to the car.
"Y/N take pictures of where you are." I knew if I could just see where she was I could find her without any trouble.
"Ho-Hold on." She stuttered. I had finally made it to the front door. The wind and rain hit me making me shiver my heart dropped at the thought of her being out in this cold by herself. I had just realized that in my worry I had forgotten my coat. Jin came running out the door shortly after and shoved a bundle of cloth into my arms. I gave him a quizzical look.
"You need a coat, don't want you getting sick now do we?" He said as he clicked the button to unlock the car doors. I smiled at his motherly tone as I put my jacket on as best I could before getting in the car beside him. "Where are we going?" He asked as the engine roared to life.
"Just head towards Daegu." I said quickly. He suddenly turned his head towards me a look of shock on his face.
"Yoongi, Daegu is over an hour away from us." He said as he slowly backed out of the parking space.
"Hyung I know, but please just get there." I looked at him pleading him with my eyes. His face softened upon seeing my expression.
"Right, off we go then." He said as he drove into the street. Jin had been to my home a couple of times since we met so he knew the way to my hometown well enough. I silently thanked him for not questioning me. He knew that to me this was important and that was all he needed to know. It didn't take long for Tae's phone to bing in my ear telling me it had a text. I pulled the phone from my ear to see that it was from Y/N. I quickly opened them as I put her on speaker. I could hear her shivering.
I swiped through the pictures, but they were too blurry for me to even make them out. I frantically swiped through them all praying for just one good one. Finally, one picture popped up that wasn't as blurry as the others, it showed an alley way but just to the left was a sign that I would recognize anywhere. I closed out of the text and put the phone back to my ear. "Y/N I know where you are, don't move, I will be there in no time." I took the car's GPS and typed in the address I had known since I was a teen.
"P-P-please Yoongi, I am so cold." I could hear her teeth chattering and my pain hit its own peak. I just wanted to reach her. I needed to reach her. Jin heard the directions and started to weave in and out of traffic to try his best to get me there.
"Y/N don't worry I am coming. Do you hear me?" I didn't know if it would help but I prayed. I had never had reason to do such a thing in my life before until now. Tiny streams of tears ran down my cheeks no matter how hard I tried to wipe them away they just wouldn't stop. Jin noticed my distress and put a hand on my shoulder and squeezed. I wanted to allow him to comfort me, but I knew I couldn't be calmed down until I got to where I needed to be.
"Y-Yes." She was shivering harder now. I hated hearing her like this. This wasn't the girl I grew up being invisible to. Where had that girl gone? The GPS told us we were now just twenty minutes away from her. I looked at my hyung in shock of his determination. He was doing so much for me right now and I knew I could do nothing to pay back such a kindness. He was so focused as he sped in and out of cars. The rain that pounded against the windshield showed to be no obstacle for him and I honestly found him scary at this moment. He looked like a white knight coming to save the princess.
Just as the GPS told us we would arrive in ten more minutes I heard the cruel beeps of the other line being disconnected in my ear. Panic rose in me again as I screamed her name over and over to the now black screen. "Her phone must have died, don't worry Yoongi, we are almost there." Jin said giving me a quick look of reassurance. I tried to let it comfort me as I shook my head in agreement. I stared out the window in front of me as I tried to control my breathing. I just needed to calm down because I knew falling apart right now was the last thing that needed to happen.
Finally, after what felt like forever we arrived at the place I was searching for. I didn't even wait for Jin to fully park the car as I jumped out. The building I had spent many nights in as a teen was just in front of me, but the club was not where I was heading. I looked around frantically with the picture up in front of me trying to find the angle in which it was taken. Once I found it my eyes fell on a dark alley across the street but as it did I was shocked to see a car parked in front of it. I quickly crossed the street with Jin following close behind me. As we moved around the car the sight that met me only served to worry me more.
