“Donghae!! Stop it!”

I yelled when he tried to punch the man again. I looked over to him and saw blood on his lips and cuts on his cheeks. Ugh! Poor guy!!

Earlier, I was just trying to shout at him to stop but now, I need to do it myself. I ran to where they were fighting and courageously held Donghae’s arm, to stop him. I couldn’t help it anymore. He’s being too much.

“Donghae!” I yelled, he turned his head to me. I could see now that he’s mad…and hurt. Those scratches and cuts; It’s just too much to see. I felt tears started pooling my eyes. I bit my lip to prevent myself from crying.

I could see worried faces. Eunhyuk approached Hae and asked, “What happened, Hae? Why did you hit Jiyong?”

“Aish! Donghae! You will be punished because of this!” Minhyuk added.

Meanwhile, the girls pulled me away, meters away from the boys. Tiffany, Hara and Hyomin hugged me before they confronted me.

“Are you okay, Jess?” Hara asked.

I nodded.

“Why did Donghae punch Jiyong?” Hyomin asked and consoled me.

“He’s g
