It was a bright and sunny day and seemed really refreshing. Me and Seungmin walked to school together like usual. He lived a few blocks away in the same neighborhood. So he'd walk to my house and wait for me to come out.

"Why do you take so long? You know I hate running to the gate."

"Oh don't be so grumpy in the morning. I snoozed my alarm 4 times, I was too sleepy."

"Did you have breakfast at least?"

"Yes dad, I did have an apple, that's all I could have."

"Good enough."

We reached school well on time, dint even have to run, so of course, i had to tease him for it

"So much for being grumpy about having to run to the gate."

"You're lucky, or else I'd have you carry my bag the entire day."

"Bold of you to assume I'd carry it."

He scoffed and rolled his eyes, not replying because he knew I could go on with my stupid remarks. It was a shame me and Seungmin only had the afternoon classes together, so we had to split up. 

It was until the afternoon break that we met again, but i really wish i dint meet him.

There were a few guys goofing around, physically harmless but bothering a girl in the class.
Me being me, stepped in to stop them from being assholes.
Well, you can only imagine what happens.

They tried to gang up to me, asking who i was to step in and why i cared.

"Mind you're own fucking business."

"I think its very much my business, you cant pick on girls for the fun of it."

"Leave. Now"
He said raising his hands, in a motion that he'd slap me.

"What? You're gonna hit me? And you think ill just stand back and let you?"

"Don't try me you bitch, leave when you can"

Just then Seungmin yells my name.  What perfect timing.

"Minji! What's wrong?"

I couldn't let Seungmin get involved, he always took everything too seriously, so i needed to get out of there immediately.

"You fucking do this to any of the girls again, I wont do just nothing."

"Screw you, we'll see what you could possibly to with that weak body of yours"

"The fuck did you say?"
 Seungmin said, hearing whatever he did when he entered.

"Seungmin, no. Let's go. Now."

"Shut up."

"Seungmin no."

"Now who's he? Is he going to take care of the helpless little girl" 
The guy said, which did nothing good, it just riled up Seungmin more than he already was.

"Watch your mouth."

"Or what?"

He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the boy by his collar, pulling him forward and getting up in his face, looking livid

"Or I'll beat your ass. Do you want to find out what happens then?"

I pulled on his sleeves

Seungmin, stop it, its not worth it.

His expression started to soften slightly as he closed his eyes and let out a sigh.
He then let go of the boy's collar, letting go of him completely as he looked back over at me

"That's what i thought." The guy said.

"Stop trying to pick a fight." I replied

"Come Seungmin, let that jerk be."

I  was looking back at him, silently begging him to leave this situation alone.
A small, sad glint in my eyes as I pleaded with him silently. He let out a quiet sigh, and with some reluctance, he pulled his gaze away from them and looked back at me. 

"...Fine. Let's go."

He took my hand in his but he was still a bit tense since his anger hadn't fully left him yet.
He finally turned to walking, pulling me with him and away while Seungmin still stared at the guy until we left the class.

"why do you always resort to violence?"
I asked as we walked to the canteen.

"Why do you always mess with guys?" 

"Good point, but mine's more serious. You know that guy, he's known for being a wannabe bully. You know he's all talk. Even i could strike him to the ground."

"Why would you strike him to the ground when I'm ready to do it for you? You know I'd never let you do it yourself"

"It's just an example." I said annoyed

We stood in line for our food, grabbing a tray each. We went over to our usual spot and had our lunch before had to leave for class again.

At least this time, we had a class together.

We walked to the class where we had English class. As we settled down next to each other, the professor entered and we took out our books.

Half an hour in, I see Seungmin act restless, trying to look outside.

I whispered,
"What's wrong?"

"Just want to go to the restroom, its nothing"

I gave him a look, but i dint say anything more.

Eventually he raised his hand to be excused to go to the restroom, and the professor allowed without a care, continuing with his lecture.

____________________________________________________

Seungmin walked out of class, hoping he wasn't too obvious where he was actually going.
He'd seen the same two guys from break, roaming outside. So he made haste and went to find them. According to him, whatever happened there in the class, was too much and he was afraid that they'd now pick on her too. So dealing with them ASAP was the only logical thing to him.

Keyword: him.

"Dealing" for him meant teaching them a lesson so they wouldn't try again.
He'd talk it out first, but then he got riled up easily, so eventually he'd get into fights, won most of the time even though he also ended up getting hit. But that dint matter to him.
As he said: If there's something gain, Fight and Win 

He walks in the direction he saw them turn, and when he spotted them, he caught his collar again.

"She let you go, but did you really think I'd let it go?"

"Oh the saviors back, no need to get so angry."

"I meant it when I said I'd beat your ass"

"We'd put you down in a minute if we wanted to."

"Shall we test that out?"

"What the fuck is your deal man?"

"I'm going to say this once. Don't ever shit talk about or approach her again. Or any girl at that." "Do you understand?"

"You don't control what we do. If i wanted to we could do anything"
The guy said with a smirk that pissed Seungmin off

"What is that supposed to mean? What will you do?"

"We could do a lot of things to her, what could she possibly do to us?" 

"Don't fuck with me. You're all talk, you cant do shit's worth of physical harm.
Say you won't ever say shit about any girl, not just her."

"Fuck off dude."

"This is your last chance or I'll fucking punch you. Say it."

"No-"

Thud. A punch right across his face.
"Wrong answer."

The guy got up immediately, coming straight at Seungmin's collar

"What the fuck do you think you just did?"

"Dint i say I'd punch you?"

The other guy comes towards the two of them trying to break them off

"Let him go Jaewoo, he's crazy."

Seungmin gets pissed when the other guy tries to intervene, he pushes him away

"Don't come in between this. Unless you want to get hit too."

"You little shit-"
Jaewoo, the guy holding his collar while Seungmin talked to the other guy said as landing a punch on Seungmin's face, busting his lip and a bruise on his cheek.
He touched his bleeding lower lip, wincing.

"You piece of shit-"
He said throwing himself on the guy, trying to punch him, but his conscience stopped him.
He knew his action would have repercussions.
 So he decided to punch him just once more before he got up and said

"Don't try me again. It'll be worse than this. Don't you dare repeat what you did today. With any girl, fucking man up. You're not cool by doing this."

And he left the two there, in shock.

He went to the bathroom, and just then the bell rings.
Great timing.
