Chapter 14~Bang Yong Guk (1/1)
For some reason Hyuna is incredibly interesting to Bang Yong Guk. She’s not just cute but she can also be pretty and even sexy. The first night he had to stay with them, she had cried at the table. Because of him. Because of what he did to her. She cried and admitted her fear. He had scared her.That was when he actually felt guilty for something that he did. That was the first time ever. And it was terrible. He couldn’t let it happen again.
Then they had gone shopping together and he saw her cute side. And how pretty she looked in that dress. And how sexy she was tonight on the dance floor.But she often mentioned that JunHyung guy. They had some sort of relationship. But she liked him too right? She had to. But, it was Guk who had caused Hyuna to run to JunHyung.His emotions were confusing. But he was glad that he had her tonight. Just to himself. JunHyung had messed up and Miryo was not in the picture. It was just him and her. Or it had been. Where did she go?
She’d left for the bathroom about fifteen minutes ago. Does it usually take a girl that long? What if she’s sick? He suddenly feels panicked and gets up to search the club. She’s not on the dance floor. She wouldn’t have left, right?He quickly walks through the club. He heads down the bathroom hall. At the end of the hall there’s a couple together. Really together. He rolls his eyes at the lovers and tries to look for the girls’ restroom. Then something catches his eye. The shoes. Converse. He goes up the girl’s leg. Black and blue dress. HYUNA?!His eyes widen and rage tears through his heart. He stomps over to them but neither seem to notice him. Who was this guy with her? JunHyung?Then he hears her whisper, “Please, stop.” It’s faint but he hears it perfectly. He goes straight up to them and pulls the two apart. Hyuna collapses and falls to the ground, leaning up against the wall and breathing heavily.BYG looks at her and then grabs the collar of the other man and looks him in the eye. Guk’s eyes widen.
“GDragon?” he gasps.GD smirks, and then glances down at Hyuna, who’s crying lightly on the floor.“What are you doing?” BYG demands, letting go of GD’s shirt.“I could ask you the same thing, BYG.” GD says as he wipes his mouth. “What are you doing here? Why are you with her?” his foot kicks Hyuna’s arm and she pulls it into her lap and curls herself into a ball.“Working.” BYG says first.“Really? Because your job is Miryo, not her!” GD snaps. “Do you even know where she is?”
“Of course I do.”
“Don’t complicate things, Guk.” GDragon says firmly. “Do what you’ve come to do, and nothing more. Don’t grow attached to anything. It won’t end well for anyone.”
BYG is silent.
“And remember, you have until Friday.” GDragon adds as he starts to walk down the hall towards the club.Once he’s gone, BYG leans down next to Hyuna. She’s curled herself into a ball, hugging her legs and hiding her face in her knees. Her shoulders rise and fall to her crying.“Hyuna.” BYG says sympathetically as he reaches out and touches her arm.“No!” she squeals as she shudders from his touch. “No more. No more.” She stammers quietly.“No, no more.” Guk says. “It’s okay. It’s me, Yong Guk. You’re okay now.” He lightly pokes her arm. She flinches.“Don’t touch me.” She sobs louder.“It’s me. He’s gone.”Her head raises and she looks him in the eyes. It takes a while for the realization to hit her. Then her eyes widen and fill with tears. She unfolds and throws her arms around BYG’s neck.“Oh Guk, I don’t know what happened!” she cries into his shoulder. He holds her tightly, feeling his own chest constricting with emotion.“Shh, it’s alright.” He whispers.“No, I’m so sorry. I don’t even know who that was. I feel so confused.”
“It’s okay, Hyuna. I understand. Let’s just leave.”
He feels her nod and he helps her to her feet. He wraps his arm around her as she wipes her tears and he leads her out of the club. She’s quiet in the car except for her ragged breathing. Her head sways slightly. She must feel dizzy. Too many drinks.BYG brings his hand to his head. Once again, this is his fault.Once at home he carries her inside. Rather than placing her down and having her go upstairs alone, he carries her up.“Which room is yours?” he whispers.Her hand points down the hall and he follows her directions to her room. He opens the door and brings her in. He lays her on the bed and steps back. She sits up and puts her head in her hands. Definitely dizzy, but her drunkenness seems to be wearing off already. She sighs and looks around her room. When she tries to get up, he takes her hand and leads her. She goes to her closet and pulls out a hoodie and sweat pants. BYG’s eyes widen and he quickly turns the other way as she pulls the pants on under her dress. It takes all of the strength in his body to not turn and peek. He waits until he hears the bed covers being pulled back to turn around.She’s changed and crawls into bed. BYG goes to leave the room when her hand reaches out and takes his.
“Don’t leave me.” She says quietly but clearly.BYG looks at her and then looks at the door.“I should go downstairs.” He says.“Why?”
“Just because.”
“Are you mad at me?” she whispers.“…No.” he’s not sure if he’s mad at her or not.“Then can’t you stay here with me?”
“I shouldn’t.” he says again, closing his eyes.“Why not?” she asks again, eyes looking hurt.It takes him awhile to decide whether or not to tell the truth. “It’s because… you’re a very beautiful girl. And this is a bedroom. And I’m guy.” He says shyly.Her mouth spreads into a smile as she understands.“Just stay with me for awhile. I don’t want to be alone.”He sighs as he looks in her eyes. He pulls his hand out slowly and walks to the door. He looks over his shoulder and sees her sit back in disappointment. She truly looks sad. He takes the door and shuts it before turning back to her. Again a smile forms on her lips and she scoots to one side of the bed. BYG sighs in defeat as he crawls into the bed with her. He sits awkwardly next to her and she scoots under the covers. She slides closer to him and lifts his arm up before going underneath it to lay her head on his chest. He scoots lower so that she fits better and then rests his arm on her back. His fingers play with the ends of her hair. She sighs and yawns.“I shouldn’t be here.” BYG says quietly, this time to himself.“Yes you should.” She says.“No, you’re drunk. You’re going to wake up and be angry with me.”“Will not.” She pouts. “I’m not that sick anymore.”He sighs again and she slowly falls asleep. Her breathing becomes deep and slow. Her back rises and falls in rhythm. She sighs occasionally. BYG sits with her for awhile before deciding to leave. He tries to slide out from underneath her when she jerks awake with a gasp.Her eyes are wide and she catches his.“Don’t leave!” she whispers desperately.“I’m not.” He lies. “Just… readjusting.” And he does. He shifts so that her head is on the pillow and his on the other. They face each other. His hand slides over and his pinky finger gently goes up and down her pointer. She scoots closer until her forehead is almost against his. Her face is angled down more, towards their hands. Her eyes are gentle. His are firm and concentrated. She falls asleep quickly again. His hand reaches out and brushes a strand of her hair away from her face. Then his fingers graze her cheek and he pulls his hand back. His eyes grow heavy and he falls asleep.~♥~BYG wakes up in the middle of the night… or early morning, when he feels Hyuna move suddenly. He takes up most of the bed now and he grunts as he moves back to his spot. Hyuna gasps and he looks over to her. She’s still asleep. Her face is twisted into a hard expression. Her mouth opens and then closes. Another gasp. She buries her face into a pillow and a whimper escapes her mouth as if she might start to cry. She’s dreaming?BYG realizes her night terrors and reaches out cautiously. He gently shakes her shoulder but she gasps again. He props himself up on his elbow and leans over. His hand brushes her hair away from her face again and he strokes her cheek.“Hyuna.” He whispers. “Hyuna?”Her eyes snap open with a gasp. They’re wide as they search for a second before stopping on BYG. Her breathing is hard, as if she’d been running. Her eyes are watery. She looks frightened.
“BYG.” She whispers unsuredly.He nods.She sighs and rolls more comfortably on her side, closer to him. He moves closer as well. This time he takes her hand in his and holds it as he searches her face.“Hyuna.” He whispers barely audible.“Yes.” She whispers back, looking into his eyes.“I think… I think I really like you.” BYG confesses and then swallows back his emotions.Her eyes are soft on his. “I… I do too.” She manages. “I mean, I like you too.”BYG’s eyes close in regret and he turns to his back.“No, no you shouldn’t.” he says as he brings his hand to his head and rubs his forehead.“Why?” she asks, scooting closer.“Because you don’t really know me. We barely know each other.”
“I don’t care.” She answers. “JunHyung, he tried to tell me about this. He tried to tell me that I had feelings for you. He knew before I even did. But he’s right.”“No he’s not.” BYG snaps. “I’m not a good person. You can’t like me.”“I already do. You’re not a bad person. You’re good. I like the you that watches over me and Miryo. The you that doesn’t smile quickly but when you do, you look…amazing. The you that’s rough and strong on the outside but can hold a pencil gently and sketch a beautiful picture. The you that can take a girl shopping. The you that forgives a girl for making terrible mistakes. The you that has strong hands that hold me softly. The you that makes me feel better about everything.”He sighs and she climbs on top of him. Her head lies under his chin on his chest and her arm wraps around his abdomen. He holds her to him with both his arms.“You’re pretty amazing too.” He whispers to her as she starts to drift off to sleep. “The you that fights for your sister. The you that avoids arguments. The you that looks pretty even when you cry. The you that’s gentle, tiny, and fragile. The you that can dance.” he smiles and holds her tighter. He does want this. He does want her. And his heart can’t help but feel ecstatic that she wants him too.They fall back asleep together.
