Kassy's POV

" Hey.".
"What?".
" I'm hungry.".
" What and you think I'm not?".

And that was the beginning of a conversation after 3 whole hours of battling it out on Starcraft.

I grabbed my coat and keys and turned off my laptop smiling as I felt victory coarse through me. " So how does it feel to finally lose Mr. GameKyu?".

He rolled his eyes and tried ignoring me but I could tell that after 2 minutes of rummaging his pockets for his hotel room door card, he couldn't take it. " That wasn't even fair! I went to get a bottle of water and when I came back the game was unpaused!".

I giggled at his frustrated attitude as he continued to rant about how unfair I was and how I didn't deserve that win, but I decided he had to shut up once my stomach let out a large growl. " Look forget it. All's fair in love and war anyways.".

He quirked and eyebrow obviously confused with my choice of words. " What does that have to do with anything?".

I shrugged and picked up my smartphone from the coffee table and ever so slightly put it in my pocket ( my phone is like my baby). " I dunno I just really wanted to say that!".

He rolled his eyes while smirking and finally found his keys in one of the cabinet drawers and walked up to me, putting my hand in his and bringing it to his lips. " I love you." He whispered in my ear while my face burned an unusual crimson red.

We walked out the door, his hands still in mine as I trailed behind him only to pause when he locked his hotel room door.

We walked down the quiet hallways of the hotel and when I mean quiet,  I mean really quiet, but you can't really say anything since it's 12:00 midnight. Wondering why I'm with Kyu at midnight? Well we were texting each other out of boredom and after awhile Kyuhyun invited me over to his place and I couldn't pass an opportunity on seeing my lil' KyuKyu ^^.

" So where do you want to eat?" I asked, keeping my voice in a low whisper, knowing that there were people trying to get some sleep.

Kyuhyun turned me with a soft smile as we walked into the elevator, fingers still intertwined. " Well it's your Los Angeles. Where do you suggest we go?".

I tapped my chin in thought until I had finally thought of the perfect place to go for food, well to me it's perfect, my favorite restaurant here in LA. " Let's go to Johnny Rockets!".

He nodded but still had a confused expression on his face. " Ok, but may I ask what in the world Johnny Rockets is?".

I gasped at how unfortunate this kid must feel to have never tasted such wonderful food, then again I wouldn't think there's a Johnny Rockets in Korea. " It just so happens to be the most awesomest restaurant ever! It's like 90s American styled food. Grilled cheese sandwiches, old-fashioned burgers and shakes, and they even have a jukebox!".

He laughed at my excitement and squeezed my hand. " Sounds cool.".

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••

After a good 15 minute drive we had arrived at the restaurant I loved so much, Johnny Rockets. I grabbed Kyuhyun's arm and pulled him, no more like pushed him inside the store as I followed after.

I took my time explaining to Kyu what was good on the menu since he technically couldn't read it and when we were finally ready, we walked up to the cashier.

I smiled at the redheaded cashier as he gave me a small smirk in return. " Hey Eric, I'll just have the regular and my boyfriend here would like a grilled cheese sandwich with no onions and just a glass of water.".

Eric nodded and punched our order in while smirking. " Boyfriend huh? Since when?".

I laughed, though feeling a bit offended, I mean I've had boyfriends before jeez. " Yes he's my boyfriend and we've dated before I even knew what Johnny Rockets was.".

Eric's small smirking face turned into a shocked one. " That long?!" Yeah you could say I've loved this restaurant for awhile now.

I laughed and nodded and Eric shook his head, letting out a small whistle. I turned to see Kyu pouting behind me, not liking the idea of my attention on some other guy.

I giggled and turned back to Eric saluting him with a quick "see ya" as I turned and walked over to Kyuhyun.

Kyuhyun was staring out the window with a small pout on his face as he waited for me to come.

I couldn't help but let out a small laugh as I walked over to our table. " Someone's jealous." I teased as I sat down across from him.

" I'm not jealous." He mumbled, fumbling with his fingers and looking down.

I smiled at his cuteness and watched as he continued mumbling useless words to himself. " Yah Kyuhyun oppa stop mumbling it's creeping me out...besides... You known your the only for me.".

He smiled sweetly and held my chin up. " I know.".

••••••••••••••••••••••••

After finally receiving our orders we chowed down and chatted about everything and anything, and Kyuhyun fell in love with the food, he looked at his plate like he wanted to marry it.

Soon after many moments of chatting and eating Johnny Rockets it was getting pretty late so Kyuhyun decided he would take me home.

He stopped before we stepped out the restaurant door. " Wait I gotta pee.  Wait for me outside Kay?".

I chuckled and nodded watching while he trudged over to the men's room as I walked out the door and waited in front of his car. It was pretty dark so I couldn't help but feel pretty insecure. Johnny Rockets just so happened to be located in the ghetto part of town which didn't help calm my nerves. I was wearing a sleeveless shirt so I continued to rub my arms in search for warmth. The streets were starting to get scarcely quiet, which is pretty unusual for LA, but then again this isn't exactly the safest part of town.

Before I could a go back inside where it was warmer and NOT creepy, a group of motorcyclists stopped at the side of the road, right behind Kyuhyun's car. They eyed me up and down as if I were some sort of prize. I began to feel uneasy and uncomfortable and was just about to enter the restaurant when a hand grabbed onto my wrist, yanking me away from the door.

I looked behind me and saw a tall bulky man in black, his face barely visible due to the lack of light at this part of town. " Hey Andrew I think we hit the jackpot!" The bulky man called back to the group of bikers, one of them must've been Andrew. This so called "Andrew" turned his head around, his helmet still upon his head, walking towards me. The others walked after him but he held up a hand, so as if to signal them to back off on this one.

Andrew stood in front of me as I shook in fear and he held my chin, forcing me to look into his eyes, or helmet since the little window on his helmet was tinted. " Jace, let her go.".

The tall man let go of my arm and backed away as "Andrew" leaned in closer to my face, making me take a step back.

Andrew let out a small chuckle. " Ha, I know you. Is that you Kass?".

I looked up at him in shock, it's not everyday a creepy biker corners you and just so happens to know your name. " What? Do I know you?".

He smirked, letting go of my chin. " Don't remember my voice?It's me Eugene.".

I tried to scour my mind for a Eugene until I had finally remembered who this was, my eyes widening. He laughed at my expression. " So you remember me? Yeah after being teased throughout high school, people calling me a nerd, I decided to join the gang life," He turned to his gang as he continued, referring the story to the them, " But you know Kassy here happened to be the only one who would actually talk to me in high school. We were lab partners and after awhile I fell in love with her, so I asked her out but only to be turned down. I was only thought of as a friend...nothing more.".

I eased myself back towards the door as he kept talking. " And you know what? I bet she didn't like me because I WAS a nerd and not amazingly handsome like the other guys.".

That caused me to stop in my tracks. " Eugene...I never thought that way. I was dating Brandon at that time, you knew I was!".

He turned to me with a snarl. " And you dated him when you could've just had me, but you didn't!".

I shook my head and walked towards him. " Eugene, what's happened to you?".

He turned away and yelled in frustration. " Don't call me Eugene! I go by Andrew now!".

I clenched my teeth as I took another step towards him. " Well Eugene was the one who was my best friend. I like Eugene way better than Andrew!".

" Shut up!!!" He yelled and next thing I knew he had slapped me across the face, causing me to collapse and fall onto the cold concrete.

I was in complete shock as he eased towards me, his shadow cowering over my body. " Now your going to cooperate while I have some fun with you.".

He reached down for my shirt and i panicked, trying to back away but being caught by my wrist by the same tall dude.

All of a sudden the restaurant door opened. Eugene stopped in place standing up and turning around to see who the suitor was.

" What the hell do you think your doing to my girlfriend?" Kyuhyun yelled, in Korean of course as he ran towards Eugene, grabbing him by the collar and punching him hard in the jaw.

" What the f***?!" Eugene yelled as he rubbed his jaw and gained his balance, standing up and kicking Kyuhyun in the gut.

I had to stop this, I stood up from where I was and kicked the tall man in the nuts before running to Kyuhyun.

" Eugene stop!!" I yelled before he could throw another punch at Kyu.

Kyuhyun kicked Eugene's chest, sending him flying backwards towards the brick wall behind him, causing him to knock out.

The tall dude, better known as Jace, beckoned the other guys over. " Sh**! Andrew's knocked out cold!".

A blonde blue eyed dude in black leather walked up to him and pointed towards their motorcycles. " Hey man, let's bounce before the cops come.".

The others nodded and left Andrew to lay there as they hopped on to their cycles and rode off. I clung to Kyuhyun in fear that he might be hurt, and that it might be my fault.

I held his face in my hands and checked for any bruises or cuts, there were none. " Kyu what's wrong with you?? Why would you do that? AISH pabo!".

He grabbed my hands and held them in his, looking into my eyes. " Because i love you.".

I blushed and looked down. He brought my chin up and gave me a loving kiss before taking my hands and leading us to the car. " C'mon, let's get the hell out of here.".

I nodded and sat in the passenger seat as he drove away from the cursed area. I had never thought I would ever run into Eugene or "Andrew" ever again. We had been lab partners and after frequent hang outs at the library for our partner project, we became close and we started to hang out at amusement parks and went for ice cream. I was dating my ex-boyfriend Brandon at that time, later on we had broken it off because of unknown reasons, maybe because there was no spark in the relationship, but anyways I had been dating Brandon at the time when Eugene asked me to be his girlfriend, his confession was so sincere and sweet I didn't want to turn him down, but I didn't want to be disloyal to my boyfriend either. If I wasn't dating Brandon I probably would've said yes. After saying no to him he ignored me and never talked to me, I had tried to ask why he was avoiding me numerous amounts of time, but he wouldn't tell me, so from then on we lost contact.

Kyuhyun seemed to be taking glances at me worriedly as he drove. " You okay?" He reached for one of my hands and held it, " Your pale.".

I nodded and tried my best to smile, but of course I didn't want to burden him with the truth. I wasn't even close to ok. I was shocked, surprised, horrified. No I wasn't ok. Fear was bubbling inside me, I was scared and I didn't want to be alone.

I squeezed Kuhyun's hand anxiously, I couldn't keep it in me any longer. " Kyuhyun?".

He turned to me, his face showing it all, he wasn't ok either, he was definitely hurt. " I-I'm scared.".

He held onto my hand tighter as he heard this and nodded. He didn't answer, he simply drove faster.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The rest of the drive was in complete silence. We pulled into a parking lot and the car came to a stop. I was confused, this wasn't my house. " Kyu, where are we?".

We both stepped out of the car and he walked alongside me, holding my hand as I confusingly followed him. " We're at the hotel.".

I looked at him shocked, unsure why he brought me here. He must have understood because he answered my expression right away. " I don't want to leave you alone. I know your scared out of your mind HeeYoung. I want you to stay with me, I'll protect you.".

I looked at him surprisingly as he spoke. " Oppa," I was quiet for a moment as we entered the elevator but then smiled sincerely, " Thank you.".

He smiled and let go of my hand, instead putting his arm around my shoulders, giving me some sort of warmth for my already freezing body.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

In no more than a mere 2 minutes we were inside his hotel room. I had plopped onto the couch and was staring into space as Kyhyun made us some coffee.

A couple seconds later he walked out the little kitchen holding two piping hot cups of coffee in his hands, a small smile plastered upon his face, enough to reassure mind that I was safe.

He tried to start a conversation, one that would calm my nerves rather than talking about recent incidents which would only perplex my feelings of fear. " So, how's Eun Ae? Or K-k-kira?" He sttutered on her english name purposely, making me let out a small giggle in response.

" She's okay," I took a sip of the coffee, letting the warmth envelop me, " You know she went back to dating Jonghyun you know. Turns out the girl she thought he was cheating on her with was his cousin who just so happened to be head over heels for him, she had planned the whole thing.".

Kyuhyun nodded speechlessly, taking it all in, he never really catches up with the drama. " So everything's fine with you guys then? How about HaNi and Wooyoung now if it's one thing I do know it's that those two like each other. Am I wrong?".

I lightly smiled at his goofiness and looked into my cup of coffee, my face twisted into an awkward expression. " Yeah she likes him and I know he likes her too, but...I don't even know it's confusing. I mean they'll hang out and stuff but neither one has made a move, maybe they still feel like it's a one-sided love when it really isn't.".

Kyuhyun tapped his cup thinking about everything I had said, " At least all is well.".

I shrugged. " For now, we can only hope that what the future brings won't be so bad.".

He put down his now finished coffee cup and we sat in silence as I finished mine. By now I was feeling a little better. I was laying my head on Kyuhyun's shoulder as he sang me his song 7 years of love. I could feel the passion and soul he put in his voice, it almost made me want to cry, although that would be  bit cheesy don't you think?

After finishing his song I clapped then sighed, getting up from my seat and putting down my empty cup of coffee onto the table. " Well I guess I better go.".

Kyuhyun frowned and stood up as well, walking towards me. " No your not. It's now 1:00 in the morning and it's pitch black outside. What if those biker dudes run into you again? What if something else happens? No, there's no way your going out there, your staying with me.".

" Kyuhyun I know how much you care about me but I'm really alright. Stop thinking about the worst case scenarios and let me go home. I don't want to be a burden any further." I tried to reason with him, I really didn't like being a burden to others, especially those closest to me.

" Who said anything about being a burden? Your staying with me and that's final." He answered in a protective yet consuming tone, it was if he owned me or something.

" Kyu please just let me go I'll be fine. Why are you worrying so much?" His attitude was beginning to annoy me, who was he tell what to do and where to go?

He grabbed my shoulders tightly and looked into my eyes. " Because I care about you!! I don't want to see you hurt!! Is it a crime to worry?!".

That shut me up, it was probably the most heartwarming thing anyone had ever said to me, but by this time he had turned away from breathing heavily from the anger building inside him and the last thing I'd want to do is get him angry. I walked over to him and slowly put arms around his waist. " Oppa...I'm sorry. I know you care for me and I'm glad you do...................I-i'll stay with you because...because I trust you.".

He turned to me and let out a sigh, caressing my hair as he held me in my arms while slightly chuckling. " Aish your so much trouble.".

And so that night I slept peacefully at Kyuhyun's hotel room. Sure we slept in the same bed, but that's the thing with Kyu...I can trust him, I always can.

A/N: Or can she? MWAHAHAHAHAHA THERE'S MORE DRAMA TO COME SO DON'T MISS OUT! And by the way sorry I haven't updated, I've been caught up with lotsa stuff and not to mention GRADUATION YEEEY and my birthday :) Alrighty then kamsahamnida for still reading!
