Chapter 24~Kim Hyuna (2/2)

“Why?” he asks.“Where am I supposed to sleep?”“With me of course! You slept with me last night. And an earlier night as well. Why can’t we sleep together now?” he seems curious.“Uhhh because your friends AND little brother are down the hall! That would seem… inappropriate.”

“Your sister was down the hall.” He mumbles.Shit. He has you there.You sigh and he becomes serious.“Listen,” he begins as he looks away. He swallows and takes a breath. “I don’t want to be away from you. Not for a single night. Not even a room away. I just want you… to stay by my side, okay?”

He is serious. You look at him in silence. He won’t meet your eyes. You sigh and turn around to the door. You pause as you take the door handle in your hand. You can feel his eyes on you now. You shut the door.You turn around and see him staring at you. You smirk and make your way to him. He holds out his hand and you take it. He holds onto it as you walk around to the other side of the bed and climb in. You pull the covers back with your other hand and then pull them up over both of you. You scoot closer to him and he puts his arm around your shoulder.“I don’t want to be away from you either.” You say.He holds you tight and you both fall asleep together.~♥~The door whips open and you jump. Your body becomes tense in Guk’s arms. Your hands grab onto his arms and hold tight. You gasp as your eyes snap open. Where are you? In the basement? You’re with Guk. Is GDragon coming?“Shh, shh.” A low sound comes from BYG as his hand strokes your hair.You look up into his eyes. His arms tighten around you and he turns to the door.“HimChan!” he thunders. He’s louder today. “What are you doing?!”“I didn’t mean to!” HimChan whines. “I guess I’m stronger that I thought!” he flexes his muscles before laughing and leaving.Guk sighs and relaxes. Turns out he was pretty tense too. You breathe slow as your heart beat starts to return back to normal.“That’s our wakeup call.” He mutters.You smile. Even with all the circumstances, you’re glad to be here with Guk. And you’re glad for his friends too.“How are you feeling?” you ask as you nuzzle against his chest.“Better.” He says.You know he can’t be too much better but that he’s saying he is for your sake. You sigh because of this. You pull away from his arms and start to get out of bed.“Where are you going?” he asks as he watches you.“You said that was our wakeup call.” You smile.“Oh yeah.” He mutters.He slowly pulls himself up into a sitting position. You watch as you pretend to stretch. He winces as he moves his legs to the ground. He’s not better. Not much. You feel sorry for him again.You walk over and offer your hand to him. He looks at it and then back up to you. You give him an encouraging smile. He smirks and takes your hand. Instead of getting up, he yanks you down into his lap. You gasp as his arms go around you and he buries his face into your back. You feel his warm breath.“Come on.” You mumble as you try to release his grip.“Uh uh.” He mutters. “Don’t want to.”You smile.

“Yong Guk, we’re eating without you guys!” you hear someone shout down the hall.Food!You twist in his lap and look into his eyes. He’s hungry too.You smile and jump up, keeping his hand. He slowly gets up, actually using you for support this time.You hold his hand as he slowly makes his way down the hall. Everyone’s gathered in the meeting room, eating cereal on the floor. They all look up at you two as you enter.

“Sit down.” You tell Guk. “I’ll get you some.”“I can get it.” He says.You stare at him for a moment. Battle of stubbornness.He sighs. You win.“I want to.” You smile as he slowly sits down.You make both of you a bowl of cereal and sit by him. The guys chatter and laugh together. Guk smiles and laughs along. He is more animated today.“So Guk,” HimChan says as he shakes his spoon across our circle to BYG, “I was thinking that today we should stop by Hyuna’s place and get some stuff. You know… girl stuff or whatever.”You smile and try to hide your snicker but the other boys let theirs out.“Why?” Guk asks, still chewing.“Well… she probably needs… stuff. Like to shower… or change clothes.”“Are you saying I don’t look too good, HimChan?” you play.“Well, it’s not that EXACTLY…”The group laughs again, except Guk is more serious.“I actually really do want to shower. And change clothes.” You say as you nudge Guk with your elbow.He glances at you.“Ugh, fine.” He says.“Why?” you ask him, raising your eyebrows.“Why what?” he asks.“Why say it like that? Why can’t I?”“I just think we should make it quick and be sure that Big Bang isn’t around.”The circle becomes quiet. They’re out there still. Big Bang. And they’re probably looking for us all.  Breakfast ends and everyone starts moving. HimChan and JongUp go down after the car. Apparently they’ve hidden it somewhere towards the center of town. DaeHyun and YoungJae sit at the kitchen. YoungJae seems to be talking very seriously about something. Perhaps the plan on how to get my clothes and stuff from the house.As soon as the van arrives, everyone heads down and piles in. There are only two seats up front and none in the back. HimChan’s driving isn’t as bad as it was the night before, but we still slide around in the back. Guk grunts and winces with every turn. You sit by him to try to cushion his falls.The van slows down as you near your neighborhood. You get up and lean between the two seats. The car is quiet. Zelo goes to take your seat next to BYG. The van stops outside of your driveway.“Hey, there are cars here.” YoungJae mumbles from the passenger seat.Everyone crowds around the back of their seats and stares at the house.“That’s… that’s my parents.” You mumble, recognizing the cars.Shit. The atmosphere in the car becomes tense.“Are you sure?” Guk breathes.“Yes, I recognize them. It’s fine, you guys wait here. I’ll go up and get what I need and talk to them.” You turn to go out the back when BYG grabs your hand.“What are you going to tell them?” he asks.“I’ll just say I’m staying with CL. I’ll get my phone too and let her in on it. We should probably stop and see Miryo too anyways.”“I don’t know.” Guk mumbles.You smile and bend back in. You touch your lips lightly to his and then pull back, just teasing him. The van erupts with “ohhhhhh” and the boys nudge each other.“Trust me.” You wink.He’s still as you hop out of the van and make your way up the long driveway. You start to fix up your shirt and hair. You must look terrible.You turn when you hear the van door slam. Guk stops and looks at you. Then he walks up.“What are you doing?” you ask as he walks past you.“Coming with you.” He says.“You can’t! We FIRED you!”He shrugs. “Doesn’t matter.”

“Wait outside then.” You say as you get to the steps.You turn him and force his face to look at you.“Wait here.” You say through your teeth.He raises his eyebrows and opens his arms to the house as if ushering you inside.You scowl and roll your eyes and then bound up the steps. The front door is open and as soon as you enter, you see your mother and father in the kitchen.“There you are!” mother gasps. “Where have you been? We’ve been trying to call you! Miryo said you were with some friend or something.”“Err yeah. I was with a friend.” You answer as you slowly make your way to the steps.“You look positively filthy! Where have you been?” mother gasps again.“Just out. I’m going to go shower now. I’ll be back!” you rush upstairs before they can say more. You throw together a bag and then jump in the shower. You go in with all your clothes and strip under the warm water. You must have stunk.Afterwards, you run back down stairs to find both mother and father at the bottom.“Where are you going?” father asks with a serious expression.“I’m going over to CL’s house. Miryo’s there and we’re all going to hangout.” You say as casually as you can.They look at each other and then back at you. You make your way around them towards the door.“Why are you guys home?” you ask as you put your hand on the door.“I had some business I had to tend to.” Father replies simply.You nod. What kind of business?”“Are you leaving soon?” you ask.This time you’re worried GDragon will find them here.“Pretty soon.” Father replies.“Good.” You say under your breath.You turn and open the door quickly. There, on your porch, with his hand outstretched in the act of opening the door, is BYG. His eyes are wide and his mouth drops open.“You were uh… taking really long…” he says under his breath.“Who… who is that?” Father asks as he moves into the doorway.You jump out and stand by BYG’s side.“That’s… Bang Yong Guk?” Father’s voice begins to harden. “We fired him! YOU fired him! What is he doing here?”“Listen, uh…” you fumble for some type of reason.You look at BYG. He looks at you. You turn back to father. Father looks at BYG. Father looks at you. Mother looks at everyone.“This boy… he’s not a good guy.” Father growls.“Now, wait, father.” You begin.“He’s trash! No good! Nothing to his name! No one in the world!” Father’s voice rises.“Well, that’s not exactly my fault now is it, sir?” Guk growls back as he takes a step sideways defensively.“Now, you wait, BYG.” You say as you take his arm.“What’s that supposed to mean, boy?” Father sternly asks.“Oh, I think you know.” BYG moves forward with hard eyes.You move your hand into his, trying to get him to feel you. Feel that you’re here. Feel that you’re transmitting your thoughts into him. Begging him to leave with you.Father looks at your hands and his eyes grow wide.“You can’t mean… you don’t mean to say that you two are dating?” he thunders.“Oh, Hyuna, no!” mother gasps as she brings her hand to her mouth. Guk glances at her. “You can’t possibly be seeing a guy like him.”“A guy like me?!” Guk’s voice rises.“Trash like you.” Father corrects.BYG pushes forward more and you jump in front of him.“I’m no trash!” he yells back. “You think it’s my fault I look like this? You think it’s my fault I live like this? And you go around taking homes from everyone else!”“What are you talking about?” Father mumbles.You wrap your arms around BYG in a hug and bury your face in his chest. He still tries to press forward. You plant your feet firmly between him and Father.“Stop it, stop it!” you shout into his chest. He stops moving and you feel his face turn down to look at you. You twist your face to the side to be heard better. “Yes! Yes I’m dating Yong Guk now. And I don’t care what you say or think. It’s none of your business.”“Hyuna!” mother retorts. “You can’t possibly…”“Yes I can! You don’t know anything. Neither of you know anything about me or even about Miryo. I don’t care. Do what you want, but you can’t interfere with my life. Not now. Not all of a sudden.”BYG’s hand moves to your back, sensing your emotions coming out. You pull away and look up at him. His eyes are softer now as he looks down into yours. You take his hand and lead him down the steps.“Hyuna, wait!” Father calls after you as you and BYG speed walk down the drive.You can hear both shouting after you as you disappear around the corner and you both jump into the back of the van.“Drive!” you demand HimChan.He stares back at you.

“Drive, damnit!” you shout.He turns around and the van peels away once again.Guk sits behind the driver’s seat. He sits with his arms round his knees. Staring ahead. Angry. You feel bad. You feel sorry. You feel responsible.You crawl next to him and wrap your arm around one of his. You hug it as you lean into him.“I’m so sorry.” You mumble.“Doesn’t matter.” He answers flatly.His tone hurts you and you sigh. He sighs too and then wraps his arm around you. You hug into his side. His breathing is ragged. He feels angry.“Where to, boss?” HimChan calls over his shoulder.“CL’s place.” He answers as he holds you tighter.“Um, wouldn’t they be in school?” Zelo asks quietly.You look at him and smile. “Oh, that’s right. CL would make Miryo go to school still. But it seems like it’s already afternoon. They’ll probably let out soon.”“To school then.” BYG demands quieter.The ride is quiet. It feels a little awkward and you feel sorry for Guk. Sorry for what your father said to him. Sorry for how much trouble you and your family put him through.The van parks outside of the school.“They’ll be out soon.” You say as you move towards the back. “I’ll go wait for them.”You get out and walk to the steps right as the bell rings. You run inside and go to your locker. You pass Hara and the KARA girls on your way. They scowl at you but you hardly care. Sure enough, CL and Miryo are at their lockers.“Hyuna!” Miryo smiles as she hurries the extra distance to meet you.She throws her arms around you.“I was so worried.” She says. “You never came back! I didn’t know what to do! I waited all night. I tried to call you but you left your phone at home.”“It’s okay. I’m fine. Thanks to Guk and the BAP boys.”

“Oh yeah. Yeah I like those other boys too.” Miryo smiles as she pulls away.“Hyuna, where have you been?” CL asks as she comes up. “I’ve been so worried!”“I’m so sorry, CL! I got myself into a lot of trouble. In fact, I have to leave right now and I might not be back for awhile. Miryo, I want you to come with me too. In fact, CL I think you should too.”“Go where?” CL asks.“We have an apartment in the city.” You say.“Oh that sounds interesting.” You hear a low voice and turn to see JunHyung and DuJun. DuJun walks to CL’s side and puts his arm around her shoulders. “You’ve been skipping class to hang out at a secret hideaway in the city?” JunHyung asks with a smile.

“Not exactly.” You smile back.JunHyung’s expression changes slightly as he recognizes your false note.

“I’m in a rush.” You say to avoid getting him involved. “Let’s go, girls.”You take Miryo’s hand and she grabs CL. You three rush outside.“Hold up!” JunHyung shouts back and you turn to see him hurrying down to you. “What’s going on? Where have you really been? What happened to your face?”“Hyuna, let’s go.” You turn to see Guk by your side. When did he get here?JunHyung stares at BYG and Guk stares back.“Did HE do that to you?” JunHyung growls.“Why would I do that to her?” Guk asks loudly in an offended voice as he takes a step forward.“Whoa, calm down, boys.” You say as you step into the middle.“Hyuna, what’s going on?” JunHyung asks you again.“You’re not really going to tell him are you?” Guk asks you.“Why can’t she?” JunHyung asks him.“You shouldn’t get him involved.” Guk tells you.“I have a right to know!” JunHyung states.“What right?” BYG scoffs.“We kissed.” JunHyung smirks.Your eyes pop open and you turn to him in shock. Guk’s eyes narrow and his body tenses.“Now, wait!” you shout. “Let  me just think for a moment.”You stand in the middle of everyone and try to organize your thoughts.“Okay,” you say without looking at everyone. “JunHyung won’t let this go.” You turn to Guk. “We should tell him. That way he can protect himself too.” Guk holds your eyes, not looking too happy. You turn to JunHyung. “Okay, here it is.”You tell him as much as possible within five minutes. By the end, his mouth is open and his eyes are angry. He looks up at Guk.“You allowed all that to happen?” he growls.“You think I’d ALLOW that to happen?!” BYG thunders.Their little argument brings in the rest of the Beast boys. The rest of the Beast boys bring in the other BAP boys. Soon we have our own little party going on right in the middle of the school grounds.“Listen, JunHyung you guys just don’t worry. CL, Miryo, and I are going to stay with them for awhile.” You say as you point over your shoulder to the BAP boys.You can already picture Guk smirking.“Why don’t you stay with me?” JunHyung asks. “They don’t know me, do they? My house is bigger, you can stay comfortably.”

Now you imagine Guk’s smirk disappearing into a scowl.“No, that’s okay.” You quickly say.“Well, I don’t like this idea.” JunHyung sighs.“Don’t have to. None of your business.” BYG states as he takes your hand.JunHyung glowers at him. “Well, listen,” he says, “If you need anything, you call me. You still have my number right? We’ll help in any way possible.”You smile. “Thanks, JunHyung.”“Let’s go.” Guk tugs on your hand.You smile once more at JunHyung and Beast and wait for CL to say goodbye to DuJun. Then you, the BAP boys, Miryo, and CL all crowd into the back of the van.This should be interesting.
