"Unnie..."

Immediately ending the call, she stood up as she abruptly grabbed her things, running her way out of the cafeteria, ignoring how her friends are calling for her, asking questions.

One word.

Just one word is enough for Jeongyeon to let herself snap.

She tossed her bag on the passenger seat as she sat on the driver's seat, buckling her seatbelt as she drove offlimits just to get to Dahyun's apartment in no time.

Fishing her phone out from her pocket, she searched for a certain contact, focus not leaving on the road.

"What can—"

"Find Park Jimin, beat the sh-t out of him but don't let him die just yet, I want to be the one to kill him. NOW."

She ended the call as she tossed her phone on who knows where, stepping hard on the pedal as she drove way off the limits.

She reached Dahyun's apartment building, immediately went out of her car as she ran her way inside, pressing the certain floor where Dahyun's unit is.

She ran as fast as she could and immediately barged the door open upon reaching the place and there, she was greeted by a scene she never wanted to see.

Specially that the love of her life is the one being involved in here.

"Oh, look who do we have here, My love... it's your oh so called saviour..."

"Let her go, Jimin!"

She tried getting close but immediately stopped by the time Jimin had pointed a gun towards her as he gripped a fistful of Dahyun's hair, the latter shouting in pain.

The poor pale girl was full of bruises all over her body, her lips swollen and blood coming from it, skin's more paler than it was before.

"One wrong move and your girl here will die."

"Why are you doing this?! She's your girlfriend!"

Jimin gave her a disbelief look, chukling at her statement.

"Oh, darling! Why, yes she is MY girlfriend but YOU are making this hard for me, for her and for all of us!"

"Jimin, stop! Just spare Jeongyeon Unnie on this!"

Dahyun once again shouted in pain as Jimin gripped her hair tighter, pulling it.

As much as Jeongyeon wanted to rush towards her, she can't because she's afraid of what might happened next knowing that they're both powerless while Jimin has a gun.

"Spare her?! Are you fvcking kidding me, Kim Dahyun?! You were the cause on why she's here! You called her, remember?! And now you're telling me to spare her?! Where's your brain from all the studies you did, HUH?!"

Jeongyeon balled her fists as she boiled in anger, seeing how the person she loves the most was being humilated and shouted in front of her.

And worse was that she couldn't do anything but just watch her suffer.

If only she brought a gun or a knife.

If only—

All attention turned to the door as it burst open, men in blacks as well as cops invading the small place, rushing towards Jimin who quickly let go of Dahyun as she raised his hands up in the air.

It was a great chance Jeongyeon took to catch Dahyun and prevent her from falling on the ground and luckily, she did.

"Dahyun... Dahyun, don't close your eyes... we'll get help... I'm sorry.. I'm sorry I came late but I'm here now..."

"T-Thank you... Unnie..."

It was the last words Dahyun said as she forced a smile, slowly closing her eyes as she let consciousness leave her body.

"Jeong, you need to eat... atleast take a few bites... you haven't been eating since lunch yesterday... please.."

Jeongyeon looked up from the pleading voice coming from Mina as she diverted her gaze to the food the girl was offering.

She slowly nodded as she carefully placed the plate of food on the mini table, munching on it slowly.

It has been two weeks since everything happened and just that one event had caused not only her life but even their friends' life to change.

"Dahyun will wake up... she's a strong girl, remember? We all taught her to always be strong and she promised as well that she will..."

Dahyun survived, yes.

But she hasn't been waking up ever since she got confined.

They were glad that she made it alive on the hospital though enduring a lot of broken bones, bruises all over her body and a lot of cuts, fresh and old, some are deep and some are not.

They were guilty upon not even realizing what's happening on her... she did a great job hiding all her bruises using make-up and show herself in front of them like the usual sunshine that she is.

She never showed any signs of pain to them.

Jimin.

They didn't killed him but Jeongyeon surely made him suffer first, knocking him out before she finally let the authorities to handle him, now he'll rot in jail for the rest of his goddamn life.

"I miss her, Mina... Her smile... her bubbly personality... eveything. I don't think I could live a day without her anymore..."

Mina forced a smile as she slowly crouched down a bit, encircling her arms around Jeongyeon as she hugged the latter for comfort.

•••

"Hey, Dub... I miss you... I mean, we all do..."

Jeongyeon forced a smile as she sat on the small space on Dahyun's hospital bed.

It has been a solid month but the girl hasn't woke up yet.

The doctor confirmed them not to worry too much as Dahyun just needed to rest and regain all her energy to be more healthy once again.

She did suffered a lot.

A girl who only wants what's best for her family and friends... had suffered a lot.

Too much pain for her love ones to handle.

"You don't have to rush yourself... take your time, instead... I'll be always by your side..."

"Promise?"

Jeongyeon left out a soft chuckle by the low voice she heard.

She's been talking alone too much that by now, she's already hearing voices but nevertheless, she still answered as she tightened her hold on Dahyun's hand even more, leaning forward as she placed a soft kiss on the latter's forehead.

"Promise."
