Coping

Chapter 12

It has been a couple of days since Jiwon confronted me about BTS, and things have not been getting better. I thought that I was already an outcast in this school, but all of Jiwon's uploads and comments about me make it worse. I can't even walk down the school hallways without being looked at funny. Either people look at me with a judging look or face that shows that they feel sorry for me. I've learned to keep my head down at all times now to try to avoid attracting attention to myself. Luckily for me, it is almost the end of the school day then it is the weekend.

I quickly make my way back to my class before the bell rings so I can avoid the crowds of people looking at me. I make it to my classroom with only getting looks from a couple of people. I silently walk to my desk which is in the back of the classroom. I sit down in my seat and let out a soft sigh. I put my earphones in my ears and play I Need U. I would go talk to F/N and Yeojin, but I would rather save them from getting the looks from others. If they were seen talking to me who knows what Jiwon might do to them. I don't want to drag them into the mess I got myself in.

I have tried avoiding them, which worked for one day, then they started to text me instead of trying to talk to me in person. Texting is the only way to talk to both of them in school or practically anywhere in public. So, instead of just sitting in class by myself doing nothing, for the time being, I decide to group message F/N and Yeojin.

>> Group Message <<

Y/N: How are you guys doing?

F/N: Good, but how long do we have to do this?

Y/N: Do what?

Yeojin: Text each other instead of actually talking

Y/N: Idk, until this all blows over?

Yeojin: And when will that be?

F/N: Yeah, because I kind of miss my friend named Y/N

Y/N: Look I'm doing this so the both of you won't end up in my situation

F/N: Idc I just want to be able to talk to you in person

Y/N: Trust me I do too. Just please let this blow over first

Yeojin: Fine but you owe us big time

Y/N: Fine I'll figure something out by then

Yeojin: Good

I take out my earphones as I hear the bell ring signaling that break is over and that classes will start soon. I put my phone away in my bag as students start to file into class.

I see Jiwon walk in and she starts to snicker as she lays her eyes on me. Then she turns around to someone behind her and whispers something to them and then they all break out in fits of laughter as they look at me. I let out a sigh and rest my head on my hand as I watch them take their seats while continuing to laugh at me. At this point, I can't wait till this day is over so I can go home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The final bell rings signaling that all classes are done for the day and that I can finally leave this place. I quickly put my bag over my shoulder and try to walk out of the classroom before getting tripped and falling on my face.

I groan as I push myself off of the ground and hold my knee. I touch it and I wince in pain, it will probably bruise over by tomorrow. And like always I hear laughter from behind me. "Aigoo, she can't even pay attention to where she is walking" I hear Jiwon laugh.

I turn around and face her," What do you want from me, you whore?" I scowl.

"Is that how you should be talking to someone?" she gasps as she puts her hand up to her chest," I'm really hurt Y/N"

"Oh save your remarks for someone that actually cares" I scowl.

"Omo guys she's angry!" I hear someone yell.

I roll my eyes and stare back at Jiwon," You know Y/N you could just make this all stop if you do what I asked you to do" she sighs.

"I will never. I would rather die before I let you meet them. Not like it matters they wouldn't like you anyway" I shout before turning on my heels and walking away.

I hear Jiwon make a sound of disgust behind me and I hear her loud footsteps as she walks after me. I feel her grab me by my wrist and pull me around to face her," You know you are just a little bitch that just happens to get her way every single time" she rants.

"What do you mean I get everything? I don't-" I say before getting cut off by Jiwon's hand striking my face.

I stare at her with wide eyes and bring a hand up to my cheek where she struck me. I gently lay my hand on it and wince, that is going to bruise as well. I look around the hallway we are in and see that everyone is staring at us and luckily there is a teacher standing by her door across the hallway that witnessed everything.

" Kang Jiwon! Did you just strike that girl?" I hear the teacher yell as she makes her way over to us.

"No.. I um.. I didn't mean too" Jiwon says trying to cover herself up.

"If you didn't mean too then why is this girl's cheek all red and have a handprint on it?" the teacher asks.

"I-" Jiwon says as she fidgets around.

"I don't want to hear any excuses. You are coming with me Jiwon. And young lady have a nice day" the teacher says as she grabs Jiwon's wrist and drags her off to who knows where.

Just like as if nothing had happened everyone goes back to what they were doing and I hurry and make my way out of the school before the tears that I have been holding back spill. I make it out of the school gate and pull out my phone and press myself up against the wall where no one can see me. I dial Namjoon's number and hold my breath hoping that he will answer. Thankfully, he answers.

"Hello?" I hear him ask.

I feel tears start to roll down my cheeks and I choke on air as I try to catch my breath between my silent sobs so Namjoon doesn't hear me.

"Y/N ah? Are you there?" he asks," Hello? Okay, I'm going to hang up then."

"No wait Namjoon I'm here" I sniffle.

"I must have not heard you, what's up?" he says.

"Nothing. I just needed someone to talk too..." I say.

"Well I know you wouldn't come to me first so what's wrong?" he asks, from how his voice sounds I can tell he is concerned.

"Just the same thing that has been going on this entire week so far," I say as I start to cry again.

"Y/N ah, are you crying?" he asks.

I quickly wipe my face even though he can't see it," No, I'm not" I lie.

"I can tell you are lying. Stay where you are I'm coming to pick you up." he states," Where are you?"

"I'm in the alleyway beside the school" I sniffle.

"Okay I'll try and be there in 5 to 10 minutes okay," he says.

"Okay" I reply before hanging up the phone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Namjoon and I step out of the van and walk up to their dorm building, the car ride here was awkwardly silent because all I did was lean against his shoulder the entire ride. "So what's going on?" he asks as he puts his arm around my shoulders.

"All her terrorizing is getting worse, she even struck me today" I say.

I feel Namjoon go rigid as I mention that Jiwon struck me," She did what?"

"She struck me today after school" I say softly not trying to relive the moment that had happened.

"She struck you? Where?" he asks, his voice sounds cold.

I point to my cheek," She struck me here"

We enter the elevator and he turns me toward him and runs his fingers gently over the spot where I got hit," Does it still hurt?"

I shake my head," I kind of stings if that makes any sense."

The next thing he does I would have never expected he kisses my cheek and I stand in front of him with wide eyes," What was that for?" I ask hoping that my face isn't turning red.

"I kissed it so it would feel better" he says with a smile before patting my head.

The elevator comes to a stop and we walk over the boy's dorm. Namjoon opens the door to the dorm and all the boys are sitting in the living area.

"Y/N you're here!" Jimin shouts as he gets up from his spot and walks over to me and gives me a hug.

I quickly hug him back as I see Taehyung walking up to me as well before grabbing the back of Jimin's shirt," Jimin you can't just be the only one hugging Y/N. Others want to give her hugs too you know."

Jimin gives me a sheepish smile before retreating back into the living area and Taehyung gives me a hug before guiding me to the living area as well.

I sit down on the sofa next to Suga and Taehyung, " So what brings you here today, Y/N ah?" Jin asks me.

"I just needed someone or some people to talk to today" I say with a smile.

"Awe Y/N and you thought of us first?" Hoseok says.

I nod my head," I know that when I talk to you guys I get all happy, so yes" I smile.

I feel my phone buzz in my coat pocket and I don't even bother to look at it and the boys give me questioning looks. "Y/N aren't you going to look at your phone?" Jungkook asks me.

I shake my head," No, I don't need too."

"Oh, I'll answer it for you then"  Jimin yells as he comes over to me.

I give him my phone and he scrolls through the notifications with a frown," This is what you have been receiving all this time Y/N?" he asks me.

I nod my head and keep my head down, I don't think I want to look at their faces right now, I can just see them with sad looks. "What has my only daughter been receiving?" I hear Jin ask.

"Here hyung read it" Jimin says as he hands the phone over to Jin.

"Y/N that whore got me in trouble today for no apparent reason"

The room stays silent for a while as the boys crowd around my phone to look at the messages," Y/N ah, look up at us please" I hear Jin ask.

I raise my head and look at all seven of them," "What happened today that Jiwon got in trouble?" Jin asks.

"She struck me and a teacher caught her" I say as I run my fingers over the spot where she hit me.

Is this what you have been enduring all this time?" he asks.

I nod my head and force the tears to stay down," Do you want us to say something to this Jiwon person?" he asks.

I shake my head," If you guys talk to her that's exactly what she wants" I sniffle.

"Omo Y/N are you going to cry?" Jungkook asks.

"No.." I sniffled as tears start to brim at my eyes.

"Oh, no hyungs she's gonna cry!" Jimin shouts.

The next I know I have Jungkook holding me protectively," Y/N don't cry. You are too pretty to cry because of all of those mean people" he says as he caresses my head.

"Aigoo look at Jungkook being all protective" Yoongi says.

"Hyung!" Jungkook whines," I'm trying to help her, stop it!"

I let out a soft giggle as I pull away from Jungkook," You realize those mean people are your ARMY's right?"I ask all of them.

They all look at me with wide eyes," No" Yoongi says.

"Then maybe we should addresses all of them" Hoseok says," I don't want ARMY's fighting with each other."

"That's true. I'm going to ask manager-nim if we can make a video on this, because I don't want Y/N or other ARMY's getting hurt because they know us" Namjoon says as he walks to the other room to call their manager.

"Well besides making a video I think we should all do something so we can get Y/N's mind off of this topic" Taehyung says.

"Well, what should we do?" Jin asks.

"We should do something fun, like um watching a movie!" Taehyung says.

"Hyung that's a good idea" Jungkook says as he gives him a high five.

"So what should we watch is the question" Jin says.

"How about an action film?" Hoseok asks.

"Action sounds like a good choice. Y/N  is that okay with you?" Taehyung asks.

I nod my head," Yup an action film sounds fine" I say with a smile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After getting the okay to film a video for their Youtube channel, they film the video advertising to stop spreading rumors and to stop hating on one another. Even though half of the ARMY is hating on me, just because I know and talk to the boys. After filming the video all of us sit down in front of their TV and watched the action film. It really caught my attention with all the kicks and flips it had.

During the movie the boys were talking about how Jimin can't do any of those moves just to try and get him angry, let's just say the boys succeeded. So, now Jimin has to try and do all the flips that we saw in the movie, and he has a week to do it.

"Okay guys I think we should get Y/N ah back home, it is starting to get late" Jin says as he lets out a yawn causing Suga and Namjoon to yawn along with him.

We all start to pack up and all of us walk downstairs and walk over to their van," Is the manager going to drive us to my house?" I ask.

Jin shakes his head," Nope, I'm going to be driving you home today Y/N ah. Now everyone get in" he says.

We all pile into the van and Jin starts up the engine. I sit between Suga and Jungkook and lean back in my chair. It seems like no time before we stop in front of my house and I make my way out of the van. "Okay so Y/N ah try and be careful of you go outside tomorrow okay? With all the threats that we saw I wouldn't trust anyone okay" Namjoon tells me.

I nod my head," I'll be careful, I promise."

"Good, well tell your family we said hi" Jin says," Goodnight Y/N ah"

The boys follow along with Jin and all wish me a good night before driving off back home.

A/N: Boy is it good to be back! You guys have no idea how long it took me to get the ideas for this chapter and actually be able to write this. This is probably the longest it has ever taken me to write a chapter. The school year is also coming to an end which means summer will be here in no time and I will hopefully be able to update my stories more. Well I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and I will start to work on the next chapter as soon as possible!

Anyway I love you all!
