“Come here you bitch! How dare you cling on that bastard, huh!?”

Soobin flinched when his back hit the wall. “N-no! It’s not what you think, Hansol—“

“Shut up!”

Hansol throw a punch at Soobin’s abdomen that made him cough and kneel on the ground. He grabs Hansol’s hem of uniform for support but another hard slap from the right is what he received.

“I-I’m sorry! I’m sorry Hansol! I-I won’t talk to him again. J-just stop it p-please!” Soobin pleaded still gripping on the other’s uniform.

Hansol smirked and squats down to level Soobin’s eye then he caresses Soobin’s face. “Then stop being a slut and just focus on me, you get that?”

Soobin gulps and nods. “Y-yeah. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry,” Soobin apologized while his tears can’t stop from falling from his eyes.

Hansol sweetly smiles at him and his hand travels from Soobin’s cheek to his hair and aggressively pulled it down to make Soobin’s head tilt that made him gasp as well.

“If I saw you talking to him again, I’ll kill you,” Hansol threatened.

“Park Hansol! Let go of Choi Soobin this instant!” an adult’s voice was heard behind them.

Hansol lets go of Soobin’s hair and helped him to stand up. He then smiles, “Ms. Lee! Hello! Soobin and I are just talking,” he reasoned.

Ms. Lee together with Beomgyu beside her walk closer to the two students. Beomgyu saw Soobin’s right face in redness and Soobin just shook his head at him to say not to mind it.

“Are you okay, Soobin? Did he hit you?” Ms. Lee asked Soobin, looking at the kid with concern.

“Of course not, Ms. Lee! Soobin and I are just having fun,” Hansol suddenly butts in while chuckling. “Right, Soobin?”

Soobin looks away first but he felt Hansol’s hand gripping his arm. “Y-yes! It’s not like that, Ms. Lee,” Soobin lied and tried to smile.

“Are you sure?” Ms. Lee asked him again.

“Y-yes, Ms. Lee,” Soobin confirmed.

“Then we’ll head back to class now,” Hansol replied and dragged Soobin out from them.

“Ms. Lee, why did you let him do that?” Beomgyu asked her.

“I-I’m sorry Beomgyu, j-just go back to your class. Take care of your friend.”

Beomgyu just sighs because even the teachers couldn’t handle such attitude already. The teacher left him there and Beomgyu frustratedly kicks the wall of the back of the building.

“Next time don’t tell the teachers just help your friend beat up Park Hansol,” Beomgyu heard a voice behind him so he looks back.

“Why are you here?” Beomgyu asks as he saw a student with a black rimmed glasses walking towards him with his hands both in his pocket.

“Just need to do something around here and saw you guys, why?” Taehyun replied and continued walking.

“Taehyun—“

“Don’t call me. What happened that night was just a mistake,” Taehyun coldly reply.

“No, can I ask you a favor?”

After what happened Soobin’s day keeps on getting worse. He couldn’t focus properly in class because any minute Hansol will drag him out to eat. He can’t say no because Hansol will surely hit him.

“C-can’t we not go out today? W-we’ll have a quiz,” Soobin questioned Hansol who’s walking beside him.

“You don’t want?”

“I-it’s not like that—“

“Just tell me you don’t like it,” Hansol replied.

“Yeah, I hope we can do it after our quiz. I also need to study for our math—“

Soobin stops talking when Hansol paused from walking and glared at him. “Did you just say no to me, Choi Soobin?”

“A-ah, n-no— I meant I-I was just hoping if— Hansol! Please don’t!” Soobin screamed when the other grabs his hand and he knows he’s going to receive another beating from him.

Hansol dragged him inside the male restroom and that’s when he started kicking, punching, slapping and cursing Soobin. On the other hand, Soobin is just crying and just begging for him to stop.

Soobin’s lips and face is now starting to have visible cuts and bruises. “S-stop please— s-stop,” Soobin begged and hold onto Hansol’s arm. “I’m sorry,” he apologized.

Hansol pushed him against the sink and whispered something. “Say no to me again, doll and I’m really going to cut your limbs. We’ve been like this for weeks now, should we level up a bit?”

“H-huh?”

Soobin felt Hansol’s hand tracing his arm to his neck to his cheek. “You’re still so pretty as ever. See you tomorrow, doll,” Hansol stated and leave him in there like it didn’t send him chills.

Soobin fall from where he’s standing and silently cried. He’s been haunting with pain for almost a month now. He’s physically tired and mentally drained. He should always say yes to Hansol or he’ll beat him up and he doesn’t want that because his mom is always checking up on him when he gets home.

He can’t run away either.

He’s on the floor sobbing in silent when the last cubicle of the male’s restroom opened and saw Yeonjun zipping up his pants up. He coldly looked at Soobin and just walks away but he stopped when a hand grips his pants.

“What are you doing?” Yeonjun bluntly asked him.

Soobin tried his best to stand up and looked at Yeonjun intently with his tears. “Help me, Yeonjun,” Soobin begged.

Yeonjun tilted his head on the left. “Huh?”

Soobin wiped his tears and muster up courage. “P-please, help me deal with Hansol,” he begged and looked down. “I’m so tired now,” Soobin added and tears started coming off again.

“Who are you to help you? What are you?” Yeonjun just asked.

“Can’t I just be someone who needs help!? C-can’t you just help me because you’re also a human!?” Soobin yelled in anger.

Yeonjun saw how Soobin’s pitiful eyes darken that he really finds interesting. “But don’t you deserve it? Getting beating up like that? Don’t drag me into your mess, asshole,” Yeonjun smirked.

“I deserve it? Why? For what reason? Huh!? For what!?” Soobin continue to raise his voice.

Yeonjun’s smirk in his face fades and he pulled Soobin’s collar then slam his back against the closed door of one of the cubicle.

“Think carefully, why? Why do you deserve it, huh?” Yeonjun asked in glare and even tighten his grip in Soobin’s collar as he moves closer to him. “Don’t crawl at me saying you want my help because if I accept it, what that asshole is doing to you will get doubled.”

“Yeah maybe I deserve this. I’ll just die on his hands then. Let go,” Soobin stated and pushed Yeonjun and started walking away.

“Let’s see how tough you are, Choi Soobin.”
