The Most Beautiful Moments In Lifeᵖᵗ¹ // OT7 BTS FF x OC

15. Fall

Damn it. Seriously?

I didn't look back. Instead, I made a sharp turn up the stairs in an attempt to lose her and anyone else who may have been following me.

Panic filled me. I needed to get away. The first thing I saw was the door to the balcony, the same one I'd retreated through the first time. I rushed to it, yanked it open, but the sound of footsteps closed in.

"What the fuck. Where do you think you're going? I thought we told you to stay away from Jungkook. And now you're sitting with him?" The black-haired girl pushed her way out straight after me, followed by her ensemble of nastily dressed girls.

My breath caught in my throat. The surrounding air was different, more sinister. I could feel it heavy as they rushed forward. Leaving me nowhere to escape.

I backed up until I hit the concrete of the balcony. Leaving me pinned in this shrinking, dangerous space.

The breeze is cold on my face. It's strong from the height we are at. With every step closer, the lower my stomach sank.

"Niah, careful. She might fall~" One of them cackled. But it wasn't a joke. The glint of malice flashed at her friend's suggestion, sending chills of ice down my spine.

"Yeah right. That'd be such a shame. Everyone would just think you jumped, you know," Her arms raised, reaching out to push me. I put my hands up to try and push her away, but then my world came to a halt.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" I glanced in horror down the stairs to see Yoongi. His eyes were dark as voids as he stared at Niah. With each step closer Yoongi took up the stairs, I felt the fear shift. His aura grew colder, more so than the breeze hitting the back of my neck.

I let out a shaky breath as Yoongi reached the top, piercing gaze now at eye level with us. My legs weakened beneath me, but I couldn't move as the events unfold before me.

"Yoongi Sunbae-nim. I think you have it all wrong, we're just talking" The brunette behind speaks up. Yoongi's hefty gaze shifts from Niah to her.

"I don't give a shit what your excuse is. Girls like you are what I hate most. Disgusting." Yoongi harshly spat on the floor beside their feet, causing them to flinch.

"If I see you anywhere near her again, I'll file a harassment lawsuit and get you blacklisted from my company. Good luck seeing Jungkook ever again" Yoongi's words were spat like venom. The girls, obviously shaken, apologised and quickly shuffled away.

It wasn't until a moment's silence passed that I realised at some point I'd stopped breathing, and, to compensate, I hyperventilated. I clutched my chest and bent forward, unable to focus on anything else.

"Jia, try to calm down. It's okay. I'm here" Arms enveloped me, my cheek meeting the soft cotton of his grey hoodie. My heaving breaths lessened as his hands worked their way up and down my back.

"Yoongi... I was so scared." My bottom lip quivered, tears threatening to spill hotly from the corners of my eyes.

Had I been within seconds of being pushed off a balcony? My mind twists at reality.

The two of us stayed huddled together until I'd calmed down. Afterwards, Yoongi strongly insisted on walking me home.

It was for the best. I just couldn't see how I could focus on class after something like that.

Yoongi walked me right up to my front door, lingering and hesitant about leaving me. But, by now, I felt better and reassured him it was okay. He picked at his bottom lip worriedly before asking me for a copy of my class timetable.

Upon asking why his response was firm. He wanted to be sure that someone would accompany me the next few days, just to be sure I was kept safe.

I usually would've declined, but the truth was I'd been scared out of my mind at that moment. So, I texted him a copy. He'd lingered for a moment before he'd left. It was so hard for me to read what was going on behind the depths of his almost onyx eyes.

I went back into my apartment and shut the door behind me. Waves of uncertainty washed over as I leaned against the door, eventually bringing me to a heap on the floor.

Memories - Jungkook's Piece:
Present Day

I struggled to keep up as Jia left class. She seemed fine at first, but the way she rushed off, something was undoubtedly wrong.
What had changed?

Why was she suddenly acting so weird?
Was it because of me?

I noticed a group of girls follow her up the stairs and thought a door out to the fire escape. I pushed past people in the hall and up the stairs to try and catch up with them. But, at the sight of cracking open that door, my feet refused to move.

That band of girls who incessantly followed me around had Jia backed up against the balcony.

Fuck. I need to stop them and fast.

Just as I was about to burst forward, a familiar voice stopped me. It was Yoongi Hyung.

I hesitated, glancing back at Jia. She was terrified, on the verge of tears. I'd seen that look before, and it was the one I hated seeing the most.
As I listened to Hyung threaten those girls, my stomach dropped at the mention of my name. Was this because of me somehow?

I ducked out of the way to not be seen as the girls ran back through the door and down the stairs. My brain was working overtime.

Was that the reason Jia had been so uncomfortable in class? Had those girls been harassing her?
How did I not notice earlier?

Letting out a shaky breath, I peered back outside. Yoongi Hyungie was holding Jia in a tight hug. My emotions swirled, a mixture of relief that she was safe, and guilt that I'd been the reason for her hurt.

I had it all so picture perfect in my head, so happy she was back. That I'd been given another chance to make things right this time.
But how did it become like this again?

I hate this.
Hate all my flaws.
Hate that I couldn't protect her before.

I'd convinced myself the next time around it'd be different, but... no, it wasn't. I hate everything right now.

Notes:

Fall, everthing, fall, everything fall~ 떨어지네~
My heaart rn, I wanna wrap baby Koo up in a blanket and keep him safe and warm, ugh. I hate putting him through this 😭
But, our Superman Yoongi to the rescue, luckily he decided to start taking peaceful naps out on the balcony these days lmao 🛌

Random question, has anyone watched a Japanese movie called 'Your Name' ?
