Keeping Up With The Kims | Kim Line (BTS)

Ch6. New Day New Trouble

The students, some of them who recognized her tried to help her but Bobae was throwing fists, screaming aloud. The unforeseen attention towards her was spiraling through her head. She wasn't able to focus, she wasn't able to think stable. Things were messing with her head and holding onto Jungkook was the only thing she could do.

"Oh my God," Jackson whispered and Taehyung rushed to his love, swiftly pulling her into his arms. She looked at him, the feeling of helplessness flooding her eyes as she bawled in her roommate's arms.

"Deep breaths, deep breaths, Bobae. I am here, Jungkook is here. No one would come close to you," Taehyung was assuring her continuously, patting her back in a comforting manner. He gestured at Jimin to fetch some water for the girl.

"Taehyung, I don't want to meet him. Please take me somewhere else. I don't want to be here," Bobae cried, desperately requesting while calming down slowly. She has experienced panic attacks previously but this one hit her hard.

"Yeah, I will take you home soon. I want you to calm down first. Take deep breaths. Look at me," he held her face in his palms, making her face him. Her face was puffed, dampened with tears and Taehyung's eyes turned moist. He quickly pulled her into a soft hug, brushing her hair softly as she broke down.

"I will make sure he doesn't come near you. Bobae, you're with me. He has to cross me before he could even appear in front of you. I promise to keep you safe, Bobae," Taehyung reassured as Bobae's sobs got lighter each minute.

People gathered around them for some time, some jealous of the girl in the campus' heartthrob's hearts, some truly concerned for the girl, some curious, and some trying to understand whatever was happening between the toppers of their department.

Jimin, Jungkook, and Jackson cleared the crowd, requesting some space. Taehyung didn't care for the when it comes to Bobae. He just wants her to feel safe and he'd do it at all costs, even if he has to burn the world.

"Here, drink some water," Taehyung pulled her out of the hug. Bobae didn't look up to meet anyone's eyes, visibly mortified of what has happened a few moments ago. She didn't wish for a day when her vulnerability was exposed to her peers and friends.Her weakest emotions unfortifying to the point where she looked terribly defenseless was the last thing she ever wanted.

"You don't have to feel embarrassed, Bobae. It's okay to feel that way. You don't have to be strong always," Jackson mouthed, helping her with the water bottle and Bobae just accepted the help without responding much.

Jungkook was a bundle of nerves the entire time. Bobae never showed this side of herself to him and it stung his heart that he couldn't help her much. He was worried sick for her and was ready to take down the man who got her to this state, despite knowing nothing about him.

"It's okay, she will be fine. Taehyung is not the one to leave her in distress. I know it's overwhelming at once but let's wait until she gets better," Jimin pacified the distressed being and Jungkook nodded, wondering if Jimin had joined their team without their permission.

"You did great," Taehyung smiled, clearing the hair strands that were sticking to her face. Bobae looked at him with an indecipherable expression. Taehyung was just looking at her proudly while helping her adjust her clothes that were ruffled.

"You don't have to do this," Bobae mumbled softly, almost inaudible but Taehyung was too close to catch her words.

"Oh! I love to do this. Bobae, you should know by now that you are the most important person to me here," Taehyung placed a soft peck on her forehead. Bobae was flustered and Jimin felt betrayed. The people who were still peeking and glancing around almost squealed at the handsome-lovesick-fool's act.
