Unexpected (3)

Time passed by and its too slooooowly for Marian. She can feel his anxiety building up. Muscles are tensed. But nobody notices since they are busy getting to know each other.

Lara blends well with the newly met couple. "I maybe your Daughter." Everyone laughs at the statement. Piolo tried his best to keep on track since he is getting tipsy already.

Marian suddenly stood up and and talked VERY FAST, "pleaseexcusemeineedtousethecomfortroom" she litteraly dashed out the room leaving the five people shocked.

"Sorry, but please excuse me as well. I have to follow her." Taehyung said with a concerned voice.

"Please, let me...I think it's me whose fault that's why she is acting like that"... Jungkook said feeling guilty.

Lara waves his hands and talked to Richard, straight into the younger's eyes, " Please, don't put too much preasure. I can't explain now why she is like this but, she is not into things like socializing. Staying with new people in a room like this gives her a hard time..."

Jungkook patted Lara's shoulder with assuring smile, "Don't worry. I will take it easy. I'll be calling if I can't handle things out".

Richard's POV

I followed the beautiful lady who said that will go in the comfort room. I don't know why she looks so afraid. I maybe, offended her in some ways. I really felt guilty on showing off earlier.

I walked in the comfort room as silent as I can as I hear a faint sobs. Luckily there was no one in. I looked at the bottom of each door looking for her until I reached the last cubicle. I saw her sitting, knees on her chest. I knocked softly not wanting to startle him. " Marian? Can you open the door for me? I am really sorry if I offended you earlier or made you uncomfortable."

I can not hear any answers, but the sobs coming out from her came louder and louder and I heared her panting. I forcefully pushed the cubicle door to open and saw her crying on the floor. He is shivering and I really am confused. It's not as cold in here. I went on my knees as I tried to talk to her touching his arms. "Marian, are you ok?" ...She suddely flinched to my touched, heads up, eyes bloodshot red with his make-up smogged all over his face. I can see her eyes full of fear as she started shouting, "Appa, sorry! Sorry. I wil not talk to them anymore. I will just stay inside the room. Please, stop. It hurt. Your hurting me!"

Shocked is an understatement for the feelings that I had after hearing her. I felt pang in my chest having the feeling of crying with her but I did not. Instead, I gathered myself. I wiped her tears and looked her into her eyes.

"Sssshh..Shhhh...No one will hurt you...No one can hurt you...I am here... I will protect you...Sssshhh...."

I hugged him and rubbed his back gently as her sobs faded. She started to calm down. I let him stay for a while in me while whispering sweet words in his ears. Until the sob stops and I felt him relaxed. "Your asleep love. Rest well. I promise, no one will ever be able to hurt you again. Not even a finger of yours."

Somehow, I felt protective over her. I know there is a story behind those fears. Yes, I admit to myself. I was stucked at her. And I am sure on what I felt. Is this what Jin hyung called LOVE? Yes. Love at first sight. I don't know how to express it but I beleive that my actions towards her will speak for me.

Yes, this is so foreign in me. This was first. He was my first.

I lifted her up on my arms making sure not to wake him up. He snuzzled his face on my chest and my face turned red. I walked back into our VIP room with him sleeping.

"OMO MARIAN!!!" "Ssssshhhh" I cut Lara as she was in panicked seeing her friend in this state.

"I saw hee crying and soothed her until she fell asleep." I explained as I sit back not wanting to wake her. John hyung and JM hyung stared at me with a smile in their eyes. I can see that they know what's happening inside of me. Lara and Piolo decided to take Marian from me but I refused.

"Please, atleast let me drive you. I know this may seem rude but this will ease the guilt in me." Lara nodded and bid goodbye with my hyung and JM hyung not forgeting to exchange numbers with them.

"Thank you so much for inviting us. I am sorry if we have to leave like this." Piolo said as he bowed.

John hyung tood up and patted Piolo's arms. "There is nothing to be sorry,ok? We enjoyed your company and I guess, he is just tired. You are always welcome here."

Lara smiled and hugged Jogn hyung. "Thanks appa. We will contact you as soon as we get home." She giggled with her own statement.

Jm hyung stood up and ruffled Lara's hair. "Ok daughter. Be safe." He said smiling showing his dimple.

I looked at my hyung signaling him that we will get going and he nodded in response.

I lead the the way to our private way, where no crowd is seen. I lead to my car and gently laid Marian back to the back seat. Lara and Piolo hops in as well as I entered my seat.

I asked for their addresses as I started the engine.
