Chapter 15: Chapter 15

Yohan's POV

"Calm down babe. She'll be fine." I watch Josh as he tries calm down Samantha who is obviously stressed as he pace back and forth in the living room.

So, apparently, Samantha came earlier to surprise us especially Josh. The thing is, her arrival isn't really a surprise anymore because a lot of fans had tagged her to our sns account saying something about her getting into a fight.

Josh and Jake almost freaked out when they saw the posts.

I've never seen Samantha looking so mad actually. She looks like she can kill someone this very instant. Me and the boys were being careful enough not to get on her nerves.

Even Jake who normally toys with her decided to shut up. Only Josh can calm her down.

"I can't calm down okay? I saw what those girls did to her. I saw how she just curled up in a ball crying." she said as she sat down on the couch, eventually breaking down.

My heart ached a little at what she said.

I then remember the girl sleeping inside her room.

"It's not your fault." Josh cooed her.

"It is. If I did not invite her out or asked her to remove her mask, maybe those girls wouldn't see her. She looked so helpless earlier." she said almost crying.

"No. You did a great job protecting her. Actually, I never knew you could do that."

We all chuckle upon remembering the video we saw earlier. Samantha was standing so scary in front of the three girls who were kneeling in front of her.

She was lecturing the three with all the securities behind her back. She looked badass.

"Shut up." she replied and she looked at us and we immediately stopped laughing.

"I'm more concern on why she allowed those people to do that to her. And I'm guilty for showing her that I was a little upset about what happened."

Josh sigh.

After what happened. Samantha had brought Jessie to the hospital and after getting her treated, Jessie requested that she be sent home so she can rest.

I don't even know how or why but she was immediately discharged. Once they arrive, Jessie had stayed inside her room and the last time that Samantha had check on her, she was sleeping.

"Can't we do something about it?" V said helplessly. He was hugging Haiden who had cried earlier. He's such a pure soul.

"Sadly, no. It's not our position to do anything. Honestly, I believe it all depends on Jessie." Rome replied.

We all turned quiet.

He's right.

As always.

"Then what should we do? Are we going to let these things continue?" Jason broke the silence.

But nobody responded.

"You guys don't have to worry about me." our eyes snapped to the other direction when we heard her voice.

Standing on the corner was Jessie.

She's wearing shorts and a loose shirt, her hair was falling loosely on her shoulders.

My eyes soften when I noticed the marks on her arms as well as her face.

How dare those girls do this to her?

I suddenly got pissed off.

She walked towards us and I was startled a little when she sits next to me, her arms touching mine.

"I'm sorry I got you all worried and I'm sorry unnie I ruined your surprise." she said as her head hung lowly, not even making any eye contact towards us.

From the corner of my eyes, I saw Samantha stood up from her seat and pulled Jessie for a hug.

"Don't worry about it." she cooed her. "Besides, Josh's face is getting uglier, I don't even mind if I don't get to see him more often."

Then we heard Josh hyung gasp, loud enough for the whole Seoul to hear.

"Did you just say that this Worldwide handsome guy is getting ugly?" he said exasperated.

Samantha, Jessie and the boys laughed out loud making the atmosphere lighten.

"Admit it hyung, you're not as handsome as you used to be." Jason adding a fuel to the fire.

"Even Jessie said that I am more handsome than you are." V added even getting an approval to Jessie.

I breathe a little when I saw her smiling.

"Stop ganging up on me. yah, Yohan, help me." he walked towards me asking for help but before he can even come near me, I shoo him away. "Get away from me, ugly!"

We laughed out loud on his horror-stricken face.

"Yah, Samantha!!!!" he stomped on his feet like a little child and pouted at his girlfriend.

I looked at Jessie and she was now laughing so hard.

Samantha then came towards her boyfriend to coo him because Josh hyung is on the verge if crying. Sometimes I ask how he was actually the oldest when he always act more like the youngest rather than Jake.

I had to catch my breath when Jessie turned her eyes on me, still smiling.

She looks so pretty.

I remember how I kissed her the other day. I don't even know why but I ended up kissing her.

To be honest, I was initially pissed off of her because she looks a little like someone I know, but within a matter of days, I realized that they are a complete different person.

And I don't know why but I seem to be attracted to her. It makes me want to protect her.

"Yah, hyung, why are you blushing?" I threw my pillow on Jake when I hears what he said and I notice Jessie looking at me to.

I had no choice but to look away.

"Don't tell me---?" I had to threw another pillow so Vash would stop talking.

"I swear to God; I will pull that dirty tongue of yours if you spoke." I threaten him but the younger one just rolled his eyes and stood up.

"Said someone who is proud by his tongue technology" he muttered but of course I heard him loud and clear.

Soon enough, all of them gathered a few feet away from Jessie and I and it was so fucking obvious that they were talking about us.

"Really?" I heard Rome exclaimed but Haiden immediately covered his mouth as they all look at me. My eyes never leaving them.

I sigh. These boys.

I look back to Jessie who's busy fiddling with the hem of her shirt.

"Are you sure you're okay?" I asked her, this time, my tone is lower, afraid that I might upset her again.

She seemed startled with my question but she smiled anyways.

"Of course. Don't worry about me." she shyly answered.

I moved a little closer and pulled her arms gently. She stiffens a little but after a moment, I felt her relaxed.

I started tracing the marks on her skin, my jaw tightening every now and then upon seeing all of the evidence of her pain.

"Does it hurt?" I asked, afraid that I might add up to the pain that she's feeling.

She shakes her head.

"Ahm, Jessie?" I called her name. Her body now leaning back to the cushion but her weight is still pressed against mine, her left hand still on my hand as I continue to trace her skin.

"Huh?" she whispered. I noticed that her eyes were closed.

"Does this happened before?"

I felt her flinch but her eyes remained closed.

After a few second of silence, she responded.

"Before, when I was still in school. But that was long time ago. It stopped when I decided to get home-schooled"

My heart hung out of my chest.

So she had a bad childhood. Somehow, I felt guilty after remembering those times that I had been so mean to her.

Silence covered the air.

"I'll make sure you won't be getting any of these anymore." I thought to myself.

"What did you say?" she asked.

"Huh?"

"Shit. Did I say it out loud?"

And then I heard her laugh.

I groan. "I said that out loud as well huh?"

My thoughts were soon confirmed when I heard the boys chuckling on the corner.

I glared at them and soon, they all started running.

"You're all dead." and I stood up from my seat as I run to kill these boys.

Jessie stayed seated as she laughed at our stupidity.
