CRUSH - ❝ he looks at her and realized what is love. ❞
"Y/N, where is your cousin that you talked about?" Yeji shook Y/N's arm continuously. Yeji had been non-stop asking about Yedam since she told them about him. Y/N turned to her best friend with questioning looks. "Why are you so hype? Are you interested with younger boys or what?"
Yeji whined and Y/N pay no attention to her as they proceed their way to the canteen. They sits at their usual seat after getting their food. "Where's Junkyu?" Yeji asked as Y/N shrugged not knowing where her other best friend at.
Abruptly the canteen was burst into screaming. Both of them turn their head to the entrance. A boy who was breathing heavily run towards Y/N's seat. She realised that the boy was Yedam.
"Help!" Yedam screamed making the whole canteen attention was on them. Y/N stood up and walk towards Yedam who's still running towards her. They crashed into each other as he hide himself behind Y/N.
"What's wrong? Did someone chase you?" Y/N asked Yedam who drank her whole juice while catching his breath. "Yedam!" All of their attention turned to the screaming and shouting. It was the basketball team who made the entrance.
All of them stop when they saw Yedam sat beside Y/N. All of them are scared of Y/N actually, they had experience playing balls with her.
She was the netball captain or the students call her queen of netball. She had making the school proud many times. Every competition they made into, she'd always bring them up to the championships.
Last year they won against the brazil team who came to Korea for the championship. Her school broke the records and Y/N herself even got the title 'Best Netball Player' by the professionals.
They slowly make their way to and sat around the table. "Why did you guys chased after him?" Y/N asked breaking the silence. "We just want to get him for surprising us by moving here but not telling us." Jeongwoo explained trying not look into Y/N's eyes.
He was terrified by his experienced which was when he provoked Y/N that she was small to play a ball. That's where Y/N throwed the ball across the field straight to his face. He didn't come to school on the next with bruised face.
After the incident, the team swore that they will not behave like that in front Y/N ever again. In the meantime, they start grow closer to each other.
TIME SKIP
That afternoon Y/N have netball training. Eventhough the season game still months away, she wanted to maintain the team's quality in playing.
She doesn't expect that she was selected to be the captain. Yes, some of the students claimed that she's still young to be one but the teachers and coach says different. With her skills, she is capable to be a captain.
As she's the first one who arrived early at the court she decided to warm up first. In about 10 minutes her team had arrived. "Ria, make sure all of them warm up accordingly. I will go get the ball." Y/N ordered her co-captain and went to sports equipment room.
While walking towards the room she could hear whistles from other team who's also practicing. She was humming along her favorite song while opening the door of the room before she was pushed to the wall.
She yelped in pain and opened her eyes. Only to be looking at Jung Wooyoung smirking evilly at her. "Let me go Wooyoung!" She tried to get out the grip on her wrist as it started to reddened by his tight grip. Her heart was beating hard and she was frightened. She doesn't like the situation with this psycho boy.
Wooyoung get closer to her face and down to her neck, his breath made her shivered into spine. "Since we are alone, why not we have our time here." He said smirking while caressing Y/N's bare thigh and gripped on it since she was wearing shorts train.
She pushed Wooyoung with her might but he was stronger. Tears began trimming around her eyes. She kicked him in where you know causing he fell down clutching there. Y/N ran out the room with tears and shaking body. She never feel so humilated before, not like this. She feel disgusted with her body after being touched with those filthy hand.
She could hear his footsteps behind her and she fastened her speed. She needs help. She needs him.
She arrived at the field and run straight towards the basketball court earning some glances from other students. She run straight towards him who seem waiting for his friend to pass the ball to him. She doesn't care if she disturbed their practice. She desperately need help.
She hugged him before burst into tears. Jihoon was shocked by the sudden hug turned to his right and found Y/N who had red puffy eyes. She stared at him as her eyes screams for help. He reluctantly hugged her back. "Hey, what's wrong?" He asked Y/N who tighten the hug. She looks terrified.
"H-help me." She stutters. Jihoon was surprised by her pleading as he held her closer. He rubbed her back to calm her down before telling the team to stop practice. They sat on the floor of the court.
He looked at her wrist which already forming a bruise. He furrowed his eyebrows. "Who did this to you?" Y/N was still sniffling in his arm, slightly feeling sorry that she wet his jersey with her tears. "W-w--" She was cut off by the voice who she didn't wish to hear now.
"Ryu Y/N!"
She tighten the hug on Jihoon's body and started to cry again. She keep shaking her head unceasingly as Jihoon turned his attention to the voice when he saw Jung Wooyoung running towards them. He couldn't help but clenched his jaw.
"Did you do this to her?" He asked sternly. He was furious but Jung Wooyoung just smile innocently. "Just had our moment in the sports equipment-"
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY GIRLFRIEND?" Jihoon had lose his patience at this moment. He shouted at Wooyoung who actually looked rather surprised by his sudden outburst. Jihoon was known as a tolerance guy, but when someone did trigger him, he would do anything to make the person suffers.
Y/N who's still under his arm also stunned by his statement. He just call her his girlfriend. Y/N could feel the whole zoo inside her stomach, but she knows it wasn't the right time to feel it.
"Is this why you are late for practice?" Jihoon asked Wooyoung who remained silent. The reason he's always late because he hates Jihoon, he hates it when the coach praise him. Wooyoung stared at him with pure hatred.
He took a step closer to the pair making Y/N whimpered. Jihoon looked down at her, his eyes suddenly glimpsed on her thigh which had a red palm print. Jihoon looked at Wooyoung. "Did you harrased her?" His anger started to control him.
He just feel like he have to protect her, starting from this moment.
Wooyoung let out a scoff but he didn't deny the fact that he was the one who causes the red palm print. Jihoon secured his arms around Y/N who had passed out. "WHY DID IT HAS TO BE MY GIRLFRIEND? WHY DID YOU HARRASED HER?"
In meantime, the teachers and the principal arrived at the scene. The teachers gasped at Y/N's condition in Jihoon's arm. "What's going on? What happened to Y/N?" He took a look at her wrist. "Jung Wooyoung harrased her in the sports equipment room, sir." The principal look at culprit with dissapointed face.
Wooyoung just stand there with a poker face, looking like he doesn't even causes that scene. "We will take this to my office. Now bring Y/N to the medical room." The principal ushered Jihoon who sprinted while carrying Y/N's lifeless figure.
"Please be fine Y/N.."
Jihoon took a chair and sit beside the bed with Y/N who looks so pale. What just happened really had a huge impact on her. He held her hand before caressing it as he looked at her tenderly, not caring that his heart was beating so hard.
He knew that he's falling for Y/N.
Y/N started to stirring and opened her eyes. She look at her side to Jihoon who was smiling at her. She sat up slowly. "How are you feeling?" He asked her softly. The incident came into her mind again. She still can't believe that it actually happened to her.
She shuddered at the thought and look at Jihoon with a small smile. "Thank you. Thank you for saving me from him." Y/N couldn't express how thankful she is towards Jihoon, even small things that he did makes her jittery.
Jihoon chuckled at her. "It doesn't matter. As long as you're safe and sound." He stared at their hands which was still intertwining, Y/N didn't even bother to let go.
"Don't worry. Wooyong had been expelled from this school under sexual harrasment and made a girl pregnant underage." Jihoon explained to Y/N what happened in the principal's office earlier.
Y/N squeezed Jihoon's hand as another thank you, slightly enjoying each other company. They started to open up with talking and joking to make the atmosphere brighter. Y/N looked at the clock on the wall that stated 5:30p.m. "We should get going. Yedam might growing beard while waiting for me." Jihoon chuckled at her remark.
"Yedam had went home. I asked him to take your belongings and car. I will take you home."
Both of them proceed their way to Jihoon's car. As time passed by, they arrived at her house. They stepped out the car and stand in front of the porch. Y/N looked Jihoon before englufed him into a hug.
"Thank you once again for saving me." Jihoon hugged her back and give her small kisses on the head. They did this like they have been together for years. The couple let go of each other and bid good bye. He waited for her to get into the house and proceed his way back.
He couldn't help but smile at the incidents that happened today. "Geez Y/N, What have you done to me?" Jihoon mumbled to himself with a grin on his face.
Y/N on the other side couldn't stop smiling. "Y/N? Are you okay?" Yedam abruptly popped out from the kitchen. "Don't scare me like that!" She hit him on his arm. She looked around the house since there's no sign of her mother.
"Oh, aunty had fly to America. She said she will follow uncle. She might not be back." Yedam said while munching his snacks. Y/N just nodded and went to her bedroom cause she was exhausted. She sent her mom a text as Mrs. Ryu was worried that Yedam come home without her.
With that she let her body slammed on her bed and proceed towards her dreamless sleeping.
