You rushed into the campus holding your chemistry paper in your hands. It was your debut day but you made a deal with your parents. Your education had the same importance as your career. Your paper was due today, and if you didn't turn it in by the time the bell rang, your grade would drop an entire letter, and you weren't willing to let that happen. 

When you ran into the Chemistry building, right as you made it to the door, the final bell rang.

"Just in time Ms. Park."

"Sorry ssaem.."

"Apologizing? For what? Turning in your paper on time? You know, when idols debut, they typically forget about academics in general. They don't care about turning in papers on time since they have busy schedules. And I appreciate how much you care about your education. Especially since today's your big day. I'm proud to be your teacher."

"Thank you ssaem!"

"Hwaiting!" Your teacher held up a fist and smiled at you.

"Kamsahamnida!" You bowed and left the classroom.

You were unfortunately wearing a jacket and jeans. And in the middle of the day, it wasn't helping at all, but you would go through any extent to hide your hideous wound. You scratched at your sleeves trying to let in some air, but it didn't really help much.

"Hot in there?" A voice teased from behind.

You stopped in your tracks and rolled your eyes after hearing that voice that made your blood boil.

You spun around in your heels and frowned upon seeing him.

"Can you just leave me alone for one day?"

"Since when did I ever listen to what you wanted?" Himchan laughed to himself.

"Look, I'm busy, and I don't have time for scum like you." You rolled your eyes.

"Me? Scum? So what now, you think you're all high and mighty because you're debuting?"

"Definitely higher and mightier than you are."

"Last time I checked, I debuted first."

"I still can't believe it happened either." You gave him a sarcastic smile, "It seems like TS doesn't really do a back ground check on their idols."

"Seems like SM doesn't either."

"Excuse me?"

"You know what I'm talking about."

"Frankly I don't, and I'm not the one who was best friends with a drug addict and involved in gang related crimes here."

"Might I remind you, you dated that drug addict. And don't act like you haven't tried drugs before. I've seen you."

"So what? You're trying to pin me for something that happened 6 years ago?"

"You know the paparazzi like to dig into our lives. And they go way back farther than just 6 years. It won't be long until they find out."

"They need a reason to dig first of all, and if they don't, then they won't."

"How would they feel when they find out that you dated Baekhyun? It's past tense now, isn't it? And how would Sooman feel? And how about all the fangirls that would hate you for it? I mean, a trainee who was dating Baekhyun? That's got to be some big headlining news don't you think? And not to mention you're just debuting. It would to have your reputation go down the drain already. And think about how humiliated Baekhyun would be." Himchan evilly smirked to himself already tasting victory on his tongue.

Your lip quivered at his words. You couldn't compete with that.

"Don't you dare say a word about that."

"And what if I do?"

You gulped down knowing you didn't want to say it but you had to.

"Please...."

"Omo! Park Yejin begging?? This is a sight to see!" Himchan's face brightened but you knew the evil hidden underneath his amused smile.

"How does Ahmi live with you?..." You spat at him.

His amused smile slowly faded until he was gritting his teeth.

He forcefully grabbed your chin and smirked.

"You've got some nerve bringing my little sister into this you know."

"It's not the first time I've thought about it you know, and besides, I've got all the nerve I need to deal with all of you."

"You're pushing my patience here."

"I've always wondered how my best friend and my mortal enemy live in the same house. If only she knew what a monster you really are. And all the things you do behind her back and Zelo's back."

"They're too young to understand what we do and why we do it."

"Ahmi isn't even your real sister."

"Like you have the right to say that. Kris, Luhan, and Lay aren't even your real brothers." He was still gripping your face with so much force that he was tilting it up to his face.

"There's a difference."

"No. There really isn't. There's a lot we have in common Yejin. A lot more than you think."

"At least I know we have one difference."

"And what would that be?"

"I'm not an who lies to the people I love and care about."

With that, Himchan was fuming he grabbed your left shoulder forcefully and pushed you to the ground. You had finally pushed his last button. You winced on the impact and how hard he had gripped your shoulder. You landed right on your bruise. You were in so much pain you didn't even want to open your eyes. You screamed at the top of your lungs at the intense pain that was growing worse by the second.

"WHAT! Where's all that nerve now huh?!?" Himchan screamed at you. You were lucky that there wasn't anyone in that part of the campus, or else you both would be dead by now.

"HEY!" Someone suddenly ran in your direction and tackled Himchan to the ground. You were still in so much pain that you couldn't even look to see who your savior was.

You heard a bunch of punches being thrown before more footsteps started to run in your direction. You were crying by now. The throbbing pain in your shoulder seemed so unbearable, death seemed like a better option. 

"You ! How dare you touch her like that?!?!" That voice. Suddenly your pain seemed a little less important. Enough for you to open your eyes.

There he was. Punching the life out of Himchan until he was purple.

"B-Baekhyun?" You weakly mumbled.

Suddenly the shapes started to form around you. 12 shapes to be exact. Then there was more.

EXO had heard the commotion from a far and they immediately recognized your voice. Baekhyun was the first to react and ran to your rescue in the blink of an eye. Everyone else followed.

You felt comforting arms wrap around you and you instinctively wrapped your arms around whoever's neck it was.

You peeped one eye open and sighed to your relief, "Luhan..." 

You looked back down at the scene close by. Himchan was curled in in a ball, face battered and purple. It seemed that Baekhyun wasn't the only one to do damage as Kris and the rest of EXO had had their fair share in punches.

Suddenly, more voices started to yell in the distance and you turned your head slowly but painfully, towards them.

It was B.A.P.

"You guys need to get out of here before you start something you don't have to." You mumbled weakly.

"Jin, stay quiet." Kai pushed the hair out of your face and smiled gingerly at your. He seemed ready to burst into tears.

When B.A.P made it to the scene, there were several angry looks that were exchanged between the two groups.

"What the hell is going on here?!" Yongguk yelled at the 12.

Youngjae and Daehyun helped Himchan to his feet while he limply clung to their shoulders.

"He's the one that started the trouble here." Kris spat back.

"Long time no see, best friend." Yongguk eyed Kris viciously.

"Not anymore."

"Hey, we don't want to start anything that could get us kicked out of here. Let's just let it go. We don't need to ruin our rep here either." Youngjae was trying to convince Yongguk.

"How come they're the only ones that get to have all the fun here?!"

"Himchan is more important than you feeding your revenge." Daehyun urged.

"I'll let it go this time. But next time we cross paths this way, you won't be the ones standing." Yongguk eyed each and everyone of them including you.

"We missed you Yejin." He smirked before walking off with the rest of B.A.P.

Once they were clear out of sight, all of EXO surrounded you with looks of extreme concern on their faces. You were sweating a whole lot, not just from your jacket, but from the panic sweat that formed after your crash to the ground.

Baekhyun pushed his way past the rest of them and held your hand tightly, but you let it go immediately.

"You didn't have to save me."

"What?!"

"You know what? Next time, just let me be on the ground suffering. I don't need you to play knight in shining armour for me."

"Jin!"

"NO! Get me out of here." You muttered into Luhan's chest.

"You're kidding right?!"

"NO, I'm not kidding. I don't want you coming over to me like you still have the responsibility to protect me. Why are you coming around and paying so much attention to me now?! You didn't seem to have a problem keeping our relationship a secret before. You're just putting more attention to us. Unnecessary attention."

"I'm just supposed to watch you be hurt like this?!"

"YES. Luhan get me out of here. Now."

Luhan walked away with the rest of EXO following him leaving Baekhyun to suffer an even more immense heart ache than what he already had to deal with.

"It's alright hyung." Sehun patted his shoulder. "Don't worry about it."

Baekhyun looked down at the ground and put a hand to the back of his neck.

"What have I done?" Baekhyun couldn't help but feel the tears start to roll down his cheeks.

"Hyung, are you crying?"

"Yes Sehun. I am." He let out a shaky breath.

"Why??"

"Do you know what it feels like, when the girl you loved and still love, tells you that you can't protect her from what hurts her? And all she wants you to do is watch her suffer. That she'd rather be hurt than be saved by you?"

Sehun shook his head.

"It hurts like hell. A thousand times more painful then breaking 10 bones at the same time. Because physical wounds heal eventually... This won't." He clutched his heart and let the tears fall.

"Then why did you do it? Go to Taeyeon.. If you still love her?"

"I'm starting to forget why too...."

"Forget? Or regret?"

Sehun gave Baekhyun a comforting smile before walking away, following after you.

Kai and Lay sat in the back of the car while Luhan drove you home.

As soon as you got there, they helped you into your room and you winced at every step.

"Jin are you alright?? What did he do to you?!" Kai yelled.

"It's alright, I'm fine."

"No you're not. You're hurt!" He put you on the bed and kneeled in front of you, he was about to take off your jacket but you stopped him immediately.

"You have to let me take a look!"

"NO!"

"Jin... You're injured. We need to treat it!"

"I'll do it myself." You stood up, only to wobble and lose your balance. Luhan caught you just in time. 

The rest of EXO had gathered in your room except for Baekhyun and Sehun.

"All of you get out. I need to change and get ready for my debut stage, I'm taking a shower, and I'll treat the wound okay?"

They all gave you nervous and concerned looks and you couldn't help but sigh and walk to your bathroom.

You waited until you were pretty sure everyone had left your room.

You lied about taking a shower and getting ready, but not about treating the wound.

You went straight into your medicine cabinet and searched for the first aid kit. You gingerly removed your jacket and almost passed out from the size of the bruise. It had finally turned an intense shade of purple, blue, and green, and stretched out from the top of your shoulder down to your elbow. You didn't seem to notice how much worse it had gotten. But the wound was starting to open from the previous stiches you had removed a year ago. You were sure it had healed over, but now you were starting to see flesh. You knew that even the slightest cut could lead to an infection and you just couldn't risk it. You hadn't realized that the first aid kit was on your bedside drawer from the night before. But you did have the rubbing alcohol.

You grabbed a towel nearby, rolled it up, and stuffed it in your mouth. You leaned over the sink and opened the cap to the alcohol. You closed your eyes before letting the liquid spill over your wound. You screamed into the towel and thankfully it was muffled. The stinging pain added to the pain that was already there from the bruise. You took in deep breaths as you dabbed at the wound. You looked up at the roof to calm yourself but it didn't do much.

You ran into your room to get the first aid kit, but failed to notice that someone was standing by the door.

"Oh my gosh." Someone gasped and you frantically turned to see who it was.

He had his hands over his mouth as he gaped at the huge wound on your shoulder.

You quickly and messily wrapped your shoulder with the bandage and swallowed.

Your eyes fluttered from the nerves of seeing him.

Your breaths grew shallow as you mustered up the words to say.

"X-Xiumin....."
