While you're on your way home after school, You were suddenly stopped by several girls. You don't know who they are, you only knows that they are the girls who usually hang out with Zayn.

They immediately dragged you away to a fairly quiet alley, not far from the school. A place that was often used to bully other students so they wouldn't get caught.

In the middle of that, without warning, a girl suddenly grabs your hair. It took you by surprise because it was so sudden.

"Oh~ so this is the girl who made Zayn become boring too? You damn flea, you secretly provoked Zayn to act like you, huh?" said the girl who pulled your hair.

You were about to answer, but she had already raised her hand— ready to slap you. You can only surrender and choose to close your eyes, hoping for a miracle to come and help you.

As you waited for the slap to hit your cheek, you felt a large hand grab your shoulder and pull you back.

"Leave now, or you'll have to deal with me."

That deep, sharp, heartless voice reminded you of someone. You slowly open your eyes to see who this person who is acting like a hero is. And your guess turned out to be correct, it was Zayn.

He held back the girl's hand that was about to slap you, and his other hand was on your shoulder— it almost looked like he was embracing you. Without you realizing, Zayn, who had intended to play with his friends, immediately ran to look for you when he heard your screams. And, finally he finds you being bullied by some girls.

The girls instantly shuddered in horror when they saw a different side of Zayn than usual. While harboring their annoyance, the girls quickly left the two of you.

"Haa... They're really troublesome, right?" Zayn said while chuckling softly at you.

Realizing that it almost looked like he was hugging you, he immediately stuttered and removed his hand from your shoulder.

"S-sorry, are you okay?" he asked, making sure that you weren't hurt by the girls. And if you noticed, Zayn's ears were starting to turn red now.
