(A/n: double update because it's been too long. Hope you read the previous chap.)

"You what?" I raised my voice and in the distance I heard the librarian shush me.

"I got suspended," Yoongi repeated. "It's no big deal. It's only for three weeks," he reasoned.

"What did you do?" I asked.

Jin spoke before Yoongi could. "Last night he couldn't stand you being out all alone that he decided to literally break out of detention. He broke the principle's window with a chair to escape," he smirked.

I looked to Yoongi, stunned. "You couldn't use the door?" I asked, exasperated.

"He must be really in love with you," Jin said, still smirking. He was amused by the situation.

My cheeks turned red.

"He locked the door, okay? I didn't know how else to save you."

Save you.

He risked that for me. A warm feeling made itself known in my chest once again but I quickly ignored it. Now was not the time.

"Well, what now?" I asked.

I don't really know why I said it. Why I cared. We didn't really do this W52 thing inside of school. But we did come up with the plans here. And Yoongi always protected me from the bad guys here. I wouldn't have anyone to protect me anymore. But I didn't need him. I've always looked after myself. So why do I suddenly feel like I need him?

"Maybe it should be just you and I now, huh, babygirl? Since Spine Breaker won't be able to hear about our plans now," he said, wrapping an arm around my shoulder. I pushed it off.

"Stop calling me that," I said.

"And you're not cutting me out of anything," Yoongi said. "If anything, this should be a good thing. I could use this time to investigate more. This way we save time," Yoongi explained.

"Maybe you're right," Jin said, still thinking. His eyes then went wide in realisation as he sat up straighter. "That's great actually! While Y/n and I are at school, you could track down the car and follow it," Jin said. He then became quiet as he thought for a while. "And Y/n..." He paused, building up the intensity. He looked to me like he knew it was something I wouldn't want to do. "Why don't you come over to my house?"

My eyes went wide. "No! We're not doing houses!" I hit his shoulder with my book. Who knows what that pervert would do to me if we were alone?

He smirked. "You think it's too soon for my babygirl to meet my parents?" He questioned, his eyebrows raised.

I hit him again. "Shut up. And stop calling me that!"

"I was kidding!" He said in defence, trying to block your book from hurting his shoulder again as he continued to chuckle. "I mean, we'll work at my house. Some of my mom's old stuff are there. We'll pick up some things," he explained.

I thought about it for a while and looked to Yoongi for some sort of answer. He didn't seem to like the idea. Either way, I wasn't going. I was going to steal my notebook back this afternoon.

"We said no houses," Yoongi cut in. He then stood up. "Are we done now?" He then turned to look at me. "Y/n, can we talk for a second?" He asked.

Something about the tone in his voice made me feel nervous and scared. It wasn't that he was mad at me or sounded scary. It was just that he wanted to speak to me alone. What would he want to speak about?

"Y/n?" A voice brought me back to reality. But it wasn't Yoongi's. It was Jungkook. He'd just entered the library.

"Oh- Jungkook?" I said, standing up.

"Sorry, am I disturbing you?" He asked hesitantly. I could understand why. Both Jin and Yoongi stared at the boy with disinterest.

"You again?" Yoongi started, stepping towards him to seem more intimidating. "Okay, just who is this boy?" He asked agitatedly.

I blinked a few times and looked back and forth nervously to make sense of the situation. I went to stand beside Jungkook as I faced Yoongi to answer him. "He's my friend," I answered.

Yoongi looked to me, confused and unable to comprehend those words just came out of my mouth.

"I mean... He's my mom's boyfriend's son so we talk from time to time..." I said, hesitantly.

Jungkook laughed. "I think you can still call that friends," he said and took my hand in his as we stood side by side.

Yoongi looked down to our intertwined hands with unimpressed eyes. My eyes widened.

I took my hand back and tried to laugh the tension away. "S-so I need to go to my locker..." I said.

"I'll go with you," both Yoongi and Jungkook said, simultaneously.

My eyes went wide in frustration again as Yoongi seemed to shoot invisible lasers towards Jungkook, and Jungkook seemed completely unbothered. I looked to the only other person in the room, which was Jin. Bad choice.

"You want me to go with you, baby?" He offered, smirking as he stood up.

My eyes went wide again. "Nope. Let's go guys," I said quickly, turning around and grabbing Yoongi's arm with my left hand and Jungkook's left arm with my right hand.

Jin only chuckled, amused by my reaction. "Wait, babe," he called out as he grabbed my arm back. Yoongi was too busy staring at Jungkook to care about what Jin wanted to tell me. He pulled me one side. "Hey, think about what I told you, okay? Are you going to keep being Yoongi's puppy and doing what he says? Come to my house. Be a bad girl," he persuaded me in a low voice as his face was unnaturally close to mine, in attempt for Yoongi not to hear.

I didn't know what to say. I realized he was holding my hand. Flustered, I pulled away. "I'll think about it," I said. He smirked and I quickly backed away and left with the other two boys.

Walking with Yoongi and Jungkook down the now empty hallway, a thought came to mind. "Wait, Jungkook, why were you looking for me?"

He laughed shyly. "I kinda just wanted to hang out with you. I left quite abruptly this morning too," he explained, scratching the back of his head.

"I-it's okay. We had classes to go to anyway," I said. Finally we reached my locker. "Oh! I brought you some more cookies, by the way," I told Jungkook excitedly.

"You did?" Jungkook's eyes lit up. I nodded happily and handed them to him in a little container.

Yoongi clicked his tongue. Oops. I'd almost forgotten he was there and I grew tense once again.

When all eyes were on him, he asked, "You brought him cookies, and not me?" There was a silence wherein I didn't know how to respond. "Right after I stole Oreos for you too..."

"Y-you can have some too..." I offered nervously.

"No, you brought those for him," he stated, childishly.

I was about to say something but a voice cut me off.

"Jungkook-ah," the voice called out. It was a boy. And not just any boy.

I watched in shock as Jungkook smiled brightly back at the boy and shook his hand before knocking their shoulders together.

"Kyangsuk-ah," Jungkook said back.

That boy... He's the same boy who bullied me last week and tried to touch me. He was a part of that group.

He finally looked up to see who Jungkook was talking with.

"Shortie and... Spine Breaker?" He uttered sceptically as he eyed us.

***

"I don't trust him," Yoongi said.

"You don't even know him," I said back.

"Y/n..." He was tense and hesitant. It was risky.

After meeting the boy, we said we'd leave and Jungkook could hang out with his "friend". We were now in an empty classroom, talking, or rather arguing.

"He's friends with someone who likes to bully you! Do you need any other reason not to trust him?" He asked, exasperated. "Besides... Why suddenly do you now have a friend?"

I was taken aback by his words. I fell silent. Not him too. "Are you serious right now?" I sounded. "Is it that strange for someone like me to have a friend? You're one to talk." I started pacing and ran a hand through my hair in frustration before turning to face him again. "Are all guys like this? Well, look here, Yoongi. You don't get to tell me who I can or can't talk to. Nobody does!" I said, fire in my eyes. I was sick of this.

He began to feel frustrated too and rushed towards me, his hands on both sides of my arms. His face closer than it needed to be. "Y/n, you don get it. It's more than just trusting someone and maybe hurting yourself. This mission of ours- It's bigger than us!" He explained, his expression serious and set on me understanding his words. "Remember 'the death game'," he quoted, making me recall our conversation that night when those men came after us for the first time. "Well, it's a trust game too. And if you can't see what's in front of you, you lose." His eyes said it all. He was dead serious. Not only that, but his eyes held so much sincerity and worry. He needed to know that you understood. One wrong move, and we could die. And I could lose him. "I could lose you, Y/n," he whispered.

And suddenly all my walls collapsed. I looked up at him, not knowing what to say. But I knew I didn't want to lose him either. With him holding me like this and all his closeness, I felt fragile. And I could see the fragility in his own eyes too.

I don't know what took over me, but in that moment I couldn't help but move forward, my one hand on his neck and the other on his shoulder, and tilt my head up so that my lips would meet with his.

We were only a hair's breadth apart, that I could feel his body heat and his warm breath on my skin. I could smell what I'd noticed to be his scent; coffee and mints. My eyes fluttered shut and so did his own. His lips were just about to touch mine when the bell for break to end finally sounded we were knocked out of our trance. I blinked and awkwardly pulled away, trying to piece together what just happened.

"Um, I'm s-sorry..." I said as I removed my hands. The hallway was starting to fill again and I quickly rushed out of the classroom.

***

Two periods later, I was in my Business Studies class with my books out and a pencil in my hand. The teacher was teaching. But I still wasn't processing anything.

Why?

Because my mind was on Min Yoongi.

I was completely sober this time and I wanted to kiss him. Min Yoongi. Was I crazy?

Or did I actually just develop feeling for someone?

I know the way I'm acting because of this is stupid but I've just never done this before. It made me feel constantly on edge and I always had this weird fluttery feeling in my stomach. Not to mention, I kept spacing out. I almost forgot about all the girls around me who kept glaring at me because of Jin's stupid lie.

I shook my head slightly and looked up, trying pay attention once again.

"Now with the five stages of crisis in a business... At first we don't usually notice the crisis and this is because there's mostly just little things that we ignore and this just keeps building up," the teacher explained as she motioned with her hands how they build up. "That is the first stage. Stage two; is the Warning. When there is a clear indication that something will happen that can cause major harm to your business," she continued and I took notes. "After that is when we reach stage three, the Crisis Point. At this point there's no turning back. No choice but to deal with it. Stage four..."

I didn't get to hear her finish that sentence because someone threw a crumbled piece of paper at my head. I scrunched up my face in response and rubbed my head, hearing a few giggles on my right. I didn't look who threw the paper and I continued to scribble down notes. This was because this wasn't the first time. This was the fourth time this period.

Couldn't these people get a life?

"Hey, Y/n," a girl behind me called out. I ignored her. "Y/n," she called again.

I decided to turn around, knowing she wouldn't give up. "Yeah?"

"Do you like kissing your boyfriend in school?" She asked agitatedly.

My heart skipped a beat, thinking she was talking about Yoongi but then shortly after, realised she must have been talking about that kiss with Jin in front of the whole class. My heart calmed and I had to stop myself from rolling my eyes. I turned to face the front again without answering. The girl's stare still sort of intimidated me.

"What? Do you think just because you kissed the almighty Jin, you're too good to talk to me?" She hissed.

I chose to ignore her.

"Hey. I'm- talking- to- you," she dragged out as if I was an alien and didn't understand our language.

I kept facing the front and tried to pay attention to the lesson as laughter was heard behind me at how she made fun of the way I spoke.

"Hey," she sounded again and threw another paper. She got so tired of me not reacting that this time she went too far: she pulled my hair. Hard enough so that my head jerked back and I winced, pulling my eyes shut as she still kept pulling my hair until she got a decent reaction out of me.

I was just about to yell out when suddenly a hand pulled her's off of my hair and twisted her arm.

"What the heck, Mina?!" The girl cried out and Mina pushed her arm back, her body jerking back along with it.

My eyes were wide as I looked up at Mina. She looked furious with the girl behind me. I'd never seen the girl without a smile before, let alone this angry.

She leaned over the girl's table, intimidating her even more. "Your attitude annoys me," she stated lowly and calmly, although her eyes held so much intensity. "Stop being such a jealous bitch. You're just embarrassing yourself. Do you want to kiss SeokJin that badly? Didn't you always brag about that new boyfriend of yours?"

The girl was dead silent, not knowing what to say. Giggles were heard behind the girl and around her, this time it was aimed at her and not me.

Mina finally broke eye contact with the girl and deliberately dropped her book on the desk beside me with loud bang, making the girl jump a bit in her seat.

"Mina!" The teacher yelled out.

Mina turned away from the girl and raised a hand in apology to the teacher, without looking up at her. She dropped her bag in the seat beside me and sat next to me.

Despite her deathly glares just a second ago, she turned to me and smiled sweetly. I was too in shock to smile back, although I wish I could have. I couldn't even say thank you.

Mina opened her book and took out a pen, starting to make notes as she paid attention to the teacher, something she rarely ever did.

"Your nerd is showing," the girl behind us stated, disdainfully.

Mina then, without looking up, responded. "Your slut is showing."
