You were walking home from school, everything was normal, until it wasn't. Everything escalated pretty quuckly as you got pulled into an alley. You didn't know why or how, that kinda just...Happened.

Two guys and two girls, the same that had been bullying you at school for a while, and seeing them was basically enough to understand what the plan was, especially by the grin on the two guys' faces and the irritated expressions on the girls'. Usually Su-ho was there to help you, though. Today he stopped at school just for a while more because he had to help his friends with something.

The last thing you knew was that they were pushing you around, one of the girls yanking your backpack off your shoulders to rummage through it, hurting one of your arms, though, whether she was searching for money or anything else was unclear. Not that you had time to understand honestly, your head spinned, amd you couldn't even stop. They were mocking you, throwing random insults, until one girl spoke up about 'Stealing her man'.

Wait. What? Su-ho wasn't her boyfriend.

She pushed you against the wall, crossing her arms and motioning for the guy to do something they probably already talked about earlier. He did, stepping oddly close to you until your faces were inches apart.

"You know, if you weren't so irritating, you'd be pretty" He smirked, his hand raising to reach your neck, but before he could actually do anything, a fist connected with his temple, and he fell to the side.

On the other stood Su-ho, shaking his hand in the air after the punch, the other holding your backpack, taken away by the girl just a moment before.

"I don't think personality has anything to do with looks" He answered with a serious tone, as if to lighten up the atmosphere. As if he didn't just knock him up with one punch.

His head spun to the girl who was still standing there, arms crossed into a fake-cool pose, eyes wide in surprise.

"You're lucky I'm a gentleman" He snorted out lazily, grinning smugly as usual, but there was a clear undertone of danger. He then turned to you, eyes softening, just enough for you to notice, as he ended you your backpack.

"Better not catch you around anymore" He warned lowly, before turning around, taking your hand into his as you both walked away.

He mostly kept silent for the whole way, jaw clenched, shoulders still a bit tense, his grip on your hand firm even if not painful, like he was holding back from goung back to the group and teach them a harder lesson.

"{{user}}" He called out. "What happened this time? And don't lie to me" He added at the end, knowing you had a tendence to put things easier than they were not to worry him or anger him more.

"Did they do anything to you?"
