first gathering

After school, the group went to somewhere nearby to eat. "I want pasta!"

"But I want kimchi fried rice." Jaebum look at Bambam. Both of them started to debate whether to eat Western or Korean food for that day.

"Calm down, geez. Let's go to the food court, its better than going to one restaurant." Jinyoung suggested. They all agreed and went to a food court located in a nearby mall.

As they were getting their foods, Yugyeom was the first to find their seat. "Ay Yuggie! What did you get?" Bambam asked.

"I got, uh, bulgogi bento box." Yugyeom showed his food. "Nice man! I got some good pasta here!"

Later, the seat would be full by seven of them. "Jinyoung, you're not eating?" Youngjae asked. "Oh uh, I'm saving my money, I'm not that hungry by the way." He explained. Yugyeom wanted to offer him but Mark got up suddenly and disappear from their sights. He came back with samgyeopsal bento box. "Here."

"Its al-"

"Just take it." Mark said coldly. Yugyeom were wondering if anything happened in the past with the two of them.

"Are you gonna open up about it?" Bambam asked. "Open up?"

"Yeah, we heard you the other day when you were on the phone call with your parents."

Oh. "That's uh... I'm not sure." Yugyeom was unsure. "Come on man, you can trust us."

"Well, uh..."

Middle school flashback

"Hey Yugyeom." An American student came up to him with a British black boy and a mixed Korean behind him. Yugyeom knew attending an international school is not it.

"Please..."

"Please what, Gyeom?" The American boy laughed. "Why would you even go here when your English is the worst? I bet you're not even that rich I mean, look at this antique ass phone." The black boy took it from his hand and he breaks it in two. Yugyeom heart skips a beat when he broke the phone.

"Honestly, if I were you I would jump off the roof." They laughed. "Please, don't..."

"What? I can't understand that Gyeom." They laughed again and again. The mixed Korean student starts to grab his head and smash it to the wall. "Please! No... Hurt...." Yugyeom begged.

"What was that? It doesn't hurt? Hold him boys!" The American student ordered his friends.

Yugyeom weakly look down and saw a kick coming to his stomach. After a few beatings, the international students walk away and he was left alone. 

The bullying went for almost a year until Yugyeom's parents noticed about the bruises on his face and body.

End of  flashback.

"That is the reason why I never like foreigners. I'm scared of them and it might trigger my trauma." Yugyeom explained for his first awkward encounter with the foreigners. "We're so sorry about that..." Jackson can't help but to feel sorry towards Yugyeom.

"Its alright, its in the past already so I think it doesn't really affect me anymore." Yugyeom slightly smiled. The younger look to his right and saw Jinyoung and Jaebum were wiping their eyes. "Oh no- hyung! You're crying?" Yugyeom panicked.

"No, we got dust into our eyes. Ah, damn it." Jaebum acted out but the rest of them knew that they were crying because of Yugyeom's story.
