Wanna One Imagines

Lee Daehwi

type- angst, fluff

The only thing lingering in my mind was how to get out of all these problems. I was in the bedroom of the terrorizing place I live in. I was abandoned at an orphanage when I was a baby. I was adopted by a rich couple at the age of 5, I was very happy at first because I thought I had found a family who would love me and take care of me, but it was the total opposite of what I had dreamt of, they never treated me well, they would always beat me up and starve me for days. If they didn't want a child why did they even adopt me. I was not able to run away from my foster home or even go back to the orphanage because the orphanage was closed down when the owner passed away and the orphans were taken to different orphanages around the country. I wanted to tell everyone how my foster parents treated me but I never had to courage to talk to any one about it because who would believe me? They are highly respected people of the city and has almost everything in their control, even if I was to go against them in court or whatever, they'll always win since they have money power. Now I'm 16, getting beaten up by foster parents has become a part of my life. It don't hurt as much as it did before because I'm used to it now. Mere injury or wounds don't hurt me anymore.

"(y/n) sweetie, please get up, we have visitors. " Mrs Dawn, my foster mother said in her sweet voice. Ugh, that stupid sweet voice. She only talks to me sweetly when there are visitors at home. I nodded as she walked out of my room. I grabbed a dress and a scarf that hid the nasty scars on my body. I dressed up quickly and then walked downstairs.

I saw Mr and Mrs Lee with their son Daehwi who happens to be my best friend. He ran up to me and gave me a tight hug.

"Daehwi, can't breathe" I said, he quickly pulled back and apologized.

"Why don't you kids go outside for a while?" Mr Lee suggested, "We have to talk about some business matters it would be rather boring for the two of you"

"Sounds like a great idea dad, we'll be heading out now" Daehwi grabbed my hand and rushed out.

"(y/n), did they do anything to you again?" Daehwi asked me with concern.

"No, don't worry" I smiled at him. Daehwi is the only one who knows about how my foster parents treat me.

"Are you sure?" he didn't believe me

"C'mon, Dae you know I'll tell you if something is wrong."

"Okay, so what do you want to do today?" he questioned

"Ice-Skating"

"What?!"

"Wait for me, I'll be back" I turn around.

"Where are you going?" He asks grabbing my hand.

"Getting my jacket." I chuckle and take my hand back.

"Why? Are you cold? You can borrow my jacket. I mean if you want." Daehwi stuttered.

I place my hand on his shoulder and smiled, "Daehwi you are going to need that sweatshirt where we are going." I ran back to my house and come back wearing warming clothes.

"We are going ice skating aren't we?"

"Yes Dae we are."

"I thought you were just joking"

//at the ice-skating rink//

"Um, (y/n), I don't know how to, um,"

"What?" I ask glancing up from tying my skates.

"I can't stand up." Daewhi laughs and covers his face with his hands. I laugh and stand up and walked towards him.

"Give me your hand." I hold my hand out and glare at him. He nods shakily and places his hand in mine, "you've got it. No worries. I got you." I say encouragingly.

"I should be holding you." He says and his cheeks flush.

"I know, but I got you. You should know that."

"I do now" Daehwi smiles and takes a step towards the ice. His smile fades as we get closer to the ice rink.

"You okay?" I ask, his head lowers.

"It's just I feel bad."

"Why?"

"Because we are supposed to have fun" he sighs deeply, "and we can't even go ice skating cause I don't know how."

"Hey" I say it dragging out "Dae look at me." His face looks broken. "You always cheer me up when I'm sad and you're the only fun person between us. It is fun, to say it's not is a total lie. Daehwi, I don't know why you are thinking that way. Now let's go have some fun!" a grin grows on his face, I slap his arm, "you know what I meant!" I laugh.

"(y/n) look! I haven't fallen over!"

Daehwi says as he takes one step onto the slippery ice. I smile nicely and grab his hands, " I got you." I say and begin to skate backwards while holding his hands. "I got you." I repeat, and his feet drag along the ice.

"I think I got it." Daehwi chuckles and his feet shoot out from under him and he falls to the ice, still holding my hands. My grip tightens and I end up falling over on top of him.

"Oh my god! Dae! Are you okay?" I say laughing and pushing myself off of him.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He mutters.

"Dae, are you sure?" I ask cautiously.

"Yea I've fallen harder before. So this is no big deal." He says and gives a reassuring smirk.

"Really, when?" I ask brushing my hands against my ice covered pants.

'when i fell in love with you' he murmured something which I didn't hear clearly.

"What?"

"Nothing" He give me a huge smile and tried to stand up struggling a bit.

We were at the ice-skating rink for too long and when we got home, Mr and Mrs Lee had already left without Daehwi. He panicked but quickly called up his driver and his driver came to pick him up.

"Little b***h, you told that friend of yours about us right?" Mrs Dawn shouted at me right after Daehwi left.

"What do you mean?" I questioned

"Your so called best friend always gives me a glare whenever he sees me"

"I didn't tell him, he found it out himself and when he enquired I told him the truth" I blurted out.

"If he tells his parents about this, you'll be good as dead"

Then, Mrs Dawn did something I was expecting she would do, she kicked me. In the side! I groaned, holding my delicate side as she kept kicking me. I shrieked at the top of my lungs as she hit where my rib was.

I heard feet being dashed down the stairs as a person grabbed me.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Mr Dawn yelled at Mrs Dawn as she flinched.

"When did you becoming so caring?" Mrs Dawn asked in a mocking tone.

"Stupid woman, she have P.E tomorrow and their P.E teacher suspects us a lot, you don't want his suspicion to be true right?" Mr Dawn said. For a second I thought that Mr Dawn really changed but NO! He just wanted to save his reputation.

He lifted up my shirt a little to reveal a bruise on my side. "Look!! There's a fresh new bruise, treat it now and apply make-up on the bruise tomorrow" Mr Dawn told Mrs Dawn and went back to their bedroom.

Mrs Dawn just left me on the floor without treating my bruise but before she left she gave me a slap because she got scolding from her husband because of me.

The next day

Did I tell you guys that my life couldn't get any better at school too?

"Look, it's (y/n) she's wearing those long sleeves again" Tiffany, my bully said as I started tugging my sleeves down.

"Guys, don't be mean she's an orphan, she can't afford other clothes besides that" Yeonie, my other bully stated in a mocking tone.

"I guess she's cutting herself so she could get attention" Tiffany laughed.

like she knows the reason why i wear long sleeves, it's not because i cut myself but it's to hide the filthy scars i receive from my foster parents.

"I need to go" I tried to walk away from them but they grabbed me by my shoulder and pulled me back.

"How could you just leave like that? We didn't even get to say goodbye to you properly" Tiffany said, "just wait a second" Yeonie handed Tiffany a bottle of orange juice and Tiffany emptied the bottle on my head.

The students who were looking at us started laughing. There was a certain someone who witnessed all these but couldn't do anything because if he helps me, he knows I'll be in more trouble than I am in now.

"(y/n), are you okay?" Daehwi asked, his eyes filled with concern and anger

"Yes, I'm fine. I'm used to it" I smiled at him.

"No, you're not. (y/n) please, let me help you. I cannot bear to see you like this" Daehwi, my best friend was on the verge of crying when he those words came out of his mouth.

"Dae, I.. I can't do any..anything" I stuttered

I cannot go up against my bullies because their parents are business partners with my foster parents and if anything goes wrong in their work because of me, I'd be beaten up black and blue. So I even told Daehwi to stay out of all these.

"Then let me help you" I saw tears falling down from his eyes.

"Daehwi why? Why are you so concerned about me? Why don't you just give up on a stupid, loser, insecure girl like me? Why are you even friends with me?" I questioned

"God damn it (y/n). Stop with the why's. You're not stupid, you're not a loser. Okay, maybe you're a bit insecure, but it's not your fault, you've been through so much because of your foster parents. And I don't want to be just friends with you, I want to be more than that. I want to be that someone who'll always make you happy and comfort you when you're down. I love you (y/n), I fricking love you more than anything else." Daehwi's confession caught me off guard, I was not expecting that from him at all. I sometimes thought that he hates me but these shocked me.

"Daehwi.. I..I.."

"I get it (y/n), it's okay if you don't feel the same way but please.. Please let me protect you"

"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly i***t, I feel the same way too. In fact, I've been in love with you for a year" I admitted.

"A year eh? that's not much, I've been in love with your for more than 7 years now" he grinned happily at me.

"So.. (y/n)" he stepped closer to me, "be mine and let me protect you forever" he then kissed my forehead.

End of POV

a few weeks later

Daehwi and you were on Daewhi's bedroom sleeping. His chest was to your back in a spooning position. You began to stir in your sleep waking Daehwi up.

"No no stop.." you mumbled in your sleep.

"(y/n) wake up." Daehwi said slightly shaking you.

"Ahh no stop!" You screamed jolting out of your sleep.

"Shh it's okay (y/n) it was just a dream." Daehwi said pulling you into his arms.

"They were trying to hurt me again." You said still shaken up.

"No one is going to hurt you now. I'm here to protect you." He said rocking you back and forth like a baby.

"Thank you." You said hugging him.

"You're welcome jagi" he said kissing your temple.

"Alright let's go back to sleep." He yawned.

"Alright goodnight." You said laying back down.

"Goodnight, I love you" He said cuddling back into you.

"I love you too."

(a/n- this happened two days after Daehwi and you both confessed your feelings for each other)

So, Daehwi and you finally decided to tell about your foster parents to Daehwi's parents. You were not willing to tell them about it but Daehwi persuaded you. Mr and Mrs Lee were very shocked. They talked to your foster parents about it but they denied saying that you were a lying brat. Fortunately, Daehwi's parents did not believe their lies. They wanted to take Mr and Mrs Dawn to the court because of how they treated you but you requested them not to do that and instead asked for your freedom from Mr and Mrs Dawn since they had your full custody. They agreed and you were finally free from the reign of terror and if they tried to get you back or do anything harmful to you they'd be directly sent to jail without trial. But there was still a problem, you didn't have any place to stay. The Lee family asked you to stay with them but you were reluctant at first because you felt like you were a burden on them. They assured you that you were not a burden and that they'll be more than happy to have you live with them because it would make their son happy and also because they always wanted a girl in their family. Eventually you decided to stay with the Lees until you found a good job .
