Sunggyu leaned against the wall waiting for Hyerin to get changed.  He took a deep breath and pulled his phone out of the pocket of his jeans to check the time, it was almost 12 AM, and Sunggyu was starting to get annoyed. "Are you finished yet? You take forever."

Hyerin came out of the dressing room in a pair of dark denim jeans and a long sleeve black shirt.  "Impatient much?" Heyrin looked at Sunggyu with an annoyed expression on her face.  How could someone be so arrogant and annoying.  Hyerin picked up her bag and Sunggyu's jacket off the ground.  She walked over to him and shoved Sunggyu's jacket into his hand.  He did not put it back on, and Hyerin wondered why.  He was complaining that he was cold before.  Hyerin watcheed as Sunggyu draped his jacket over her shoulders again.

Sunggyu pushed himself off of the wall  and  grabbed onto Hyerin's wrist pulling her along.  "You need my jacket more than I do."  He pulled her out onto the streets of Hongdae and looked around.  Sunggyu wanted to make sure those men did not follow them, and began to head somewhere.

"Yahh Kim Sunggyu, who says you can grab onto my wrist like this?" Hyerin glared at Sunggyu. "Did you even pay for what I am wearing? Yahh KIM SUNGGYU!"

Sunggyu stopped, causing Hyerin to fall into him once again.  "I did when you were changing." Sunggyu sighed deeply.  "I only grabbed onto your wrist because you are going to run off if I did not.  I am not letting you walk back to campus alone, it's not safe!"

"It is not safe being around you." Hyerin got her wrist out of Sunggyu's grip and started to walk away from him.  She did not need to Sunggyu protect her.  Song Hyerin did not need protection from a bastard like him.   He was only going to drive her insane if she stayed around him any longer.

Sunggyu growled and followed her. "Yahh Song Hyerin, how can you treat me like this when I bought you something to wear." Sunggyu whined as he chased after the girl.   Why was she such a headache?"

"You did not need to by me anything, you arrogant bastard." Hyerin yelled as she continued to walk away from him.

"I bought you that so you did not have to walk around in that skimpy dress. Are you trying to...." Sunggyu said as he grabbed onto Hyerin's wrist again, spinning her to face him.  He wrap an arm around her waist, pulling her close. Those men from before were back.  Did they not have anything better to do than chase after a girl who was half their age. 

"Sunggyu, what are you doing?" Hyerin asked as she tried to get out of Sunggyu's grip, but he was too strong for her.  She was shocked that Sunggyu was this strong, he came across as a fragile man.

"Shhhh..." Sunggyu hissed as he continued to hold her in his arms.  He was not one of public affection, but Sunggyu knew it had to be done so those erts did not find her.  The last thing Sunggyu wanted was Hyerin being hurt more than she already was.  Sunggyu knew that his actions factored into hurting the girl, but he could not help it.  He needed to hurt her in-order to keep the girl away from him.  Sunggyu could not have her life be ruined because of his father. Her future was more important than being friends with him.  He was not be a good friend. "Their back..." He whispered into her ear.

Hyerin blushed when she felt Sunggyu's warm breath by her ears.  He held her close and it felt leg centuries have gone by.  His warmth was surprisingly comforting. Hyerin felt his grip loosen and he grabbed onto her hand.  "Sunggyu, I will let you take me home. I promise not to try and run away. Can you..."

"No..." Sunggyu said as he pulled the girl along.  He was not going to release her hand.  Sunggyu already knew how this silly girl thought.  He knew Hyerin was going to try and escape with any chance she got.

"Sunggyu..." She called his name, but he ignored her.  Sunggyu was going to take her somewhere until he knew those men were done searching for her, and he knew the perfect place to bring her.

 Woohyun continued to watch the two closely.  He wanted to intervene, but he did not want to come across as a jealous man to Hyerin.  They were not officially dating yet and Woohyun did not want to push her away.  He watched Sunggyu closely and looked at the people that his roommate was glaring at.  Were those the people that Sunggyu was talking about before.  The ones that tried to hurt his Hyerin.

Woohyun bit his lip debating on whether he should follow them or not. He watched as Sunggyu grabbed onto her wrist and at that moment he decided to follow them.  Woohyun needed to know the truth.  He needed to know whether or not, Sunggyu had feelings for the girl.  Woohyun could tell that Sunggyu cared about the girls well-being, but he knew there had to me more.  Woohyun still did not get
