Hyunjin staggered around his apartment, looking for something to kill time.

"Hyunjin can you come here please??"

Hyunjin dragged his feet to the kitchen, where he heard his mom's voice. His mom stood there, her arms crossed and her face angry.

"Why have you been working so much? I just went in your room and found $4,000. What's up with that??"

Hyunjin sighed and sat down at his kitchen table.

"I'm just trying to make some money for us mom," Hyunjin rested his head on his crossed arms, that sat comfortably on the table.

His mom sighed, "Are you okay Hyunjin? You've been kind of.." his mom trailed off.

Hyunjin lifted his head up, "kind of what..?"

"Depressed"

Oh.

Well.

She wasn't really wrong.

He was extremely depressed.

It's like everything went wrong since 8th grade.

"Excuse me," Hyunjin quietly stated while getting up from the table.

"Hyunjin.."

Hyunjin ignored his mom; walking towards his room at a steady pace.

~~

I wonder if anyone will notice that I'm gone.

I have so much regret.

Why am I like this?

Those things I did to Seungmin...

Why would I ever do that..?

I'm sorry.

Hyunjin stood at the edge of a bridge. He couldn't take it anymore. He planned everything out too. He worked overtime to make more money for his mother so that when he was gone, she could take care of herself. He made sure to leave her a note that read: I'll be gone for a while. I love you.

I shouldn't do this..

No but you have to.

No I can't.

Just do it Hyunjin. No one will miss you anyway.

Get out of my head.

Get out of my head.

Get out of my head.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD.

Hyunjin screamed at the top of his lungs. He jumped down from the bridge back onto the concrete. He couldn't do it. There's too much going on in his life for him to just abandon it. He walked back towards his apartment with tears streaming down his face.

I just can't do it..

You're so weak. Just kill yourself already. I'm so tired of you.

Please..stop..

"Hey Hyunjin."

Minhee walked up to Hyunjin, then sat on his desk flirtatiously.

"What do you want Minhee.."

The brunette giggled, "You're going to hang out with me after school. I'm not taking no for an answer."

"I can't, sorry. I have to do something after school."

And he literally did have something to do after school.

"Boooo, you're boring. Didn't I say I wasn't going to take no for an answer?" Minhee smirked at the boy.

"Sorry, no means no," Hyunjin got up from his desk only to be pulled into minhee's arms, "Minhee. Let go of me."

"No~" the girl teased.

"I SAID GET GO OF ME," Hyunjin pushed the smaller girl off of him.

Minhee stumbled back then scoffed at the taller, "You haven't changed since middle school. Still bullying people. Abusing. Pushing. Kicking. It's all the same."

Hyunjin stared at the girl with a straight face as she degraded him. He grabbed his bag and stormed out of the classroom, leaving Minhee behind.

Hansol, Khun, and Hyunjin walked side by side down the road. A few words were heard from Hansol and Khun as they walked. Hyunjin didn't even have the energy to talk to them. He was going to transfer to a new school this week. He wanted to get a fresh start at a new college while still staying in Korea. It was a litter farther from the college he was at now, but not far enough for a long car ride.

"Hey guys," Hansol and Kuhn stopped talking, turning towards Hyunjin with a smile plastered across their faces, "I think it's time for me to tell you that I won't be going to this college anymore.."

"What?!" The boys said in unison.

"Why?" Hansol pouted, crossing his arms in the process.

Khun smiled at the younger's cuteness but his smile quickly faded once he realized that this was a serious situation, "..yeah why? I thought you liked it here Hyunjin."

Hyunjin sighed, shaking his head, "I just need to restart.. and this new college is free.. I'm really struggling trying to take care of my mom and stuff.."

The two boys smiled, Hansol speaking up before Khun, "that's totally fine and understandable! I hope everything goes well for you in the future Hyunjin..!" Hansol smiled; right cheek showing his adorable dimple.

Hyunjin's thanked them and parted ways with the two boys. He was lucky to have people like them by his side.
