The Golden Ring • ChanBaek | ENG

[CHAPTER 042]

                 I looked at the students while I was resting my chin on my palm. I don't know... if every party was like this then I'm glad I never came to them..

I mean, maybe I'm the only one who is bored as fuck, everyone here is so clingy, most of the girls are in miniskirts, it's surprising that their shapeless ass didn't freeze in this cold, and the boys, well, I'd rather not say it. It's good the students can't bring alcohol, only the teachers can, but it's not like they're going to show up with a lot of alcohol either.

My eyes inadvertently turned toward the blonde, my heart ruptures, it hurts, but it makes me happy that he doesn't need to worry about me anymore..

The smile on his lips as he's talking to SeungHyun.. is just everything I wanted him to have. Are they together? I'm a little scared for him, but if he likes that... cold person, then good for him..

TaeYeon left me alone a long time ago because her friends wanted to dance with her, exactly as I planned... loneliness has always been my friend, this is my destiny.

I glanced at the clock, a few minutes and the teachers are probably going to show up, everything is going crazy without them.

Okay.. it's time to go to the bathroom.

I slowly got up from the chair and because I was sitting for a long time my ass was in pain, so when I started walking my steps were a little stupid-looking. I didn't wanted to get up originally, but from all the coke I've dunked down my throat today, I just need to use the restroom now..

I tried to walk faster, I almost reached my goal when a student stepped in front of me. A grimace appeared on my face immediately. Ah, this guy loves to fuck with me.

I wanted to bypass him but he didn't let me.

"Leave me alone, Jung," I growled at him.

"Don't tell me what to do, fag"

"Aren't you bored yet?" I crossed my arms.

"Oh, you can talk back, how suprising," he said, raising his voice to draw the attention of the people around us. Is he seriously-? Did he just wait for me to get up from the corner so he can humiliate me infront of everyone? Great. "Listen to me when I talk to you!" he snapped his fingers in front of my face. He is really getting on my nerves.. I don't even have to pee anymore, I just want to go home..

I shooked my head and wanted to walk away but of course Jung wasn't going to let me go that easily, so I wasn't really that suprised when he grabbed my arm, pushed me to the ground and leaned close to my face.

"Don't turn your back on me" he squeezes his fingers around my throat. "I tould you, didn't I? You should've ran." I watched him as he got off of me, and I just closed my eyes, I knew what was coming. I know that he is going to beat me up infront of these students, I can't escape anymore, Kibum is not going to save me, neither Tae, and ChanYeol is not here..

I got the first punch in my stomach, the next one on my right arm, I didn't even notice but I was getting kicks from everywhere. It felt like not just Jung but a bunch of other people were hitting me.

It hurts, everything hurts.

I curled up pathetically, trying to protect my head, I can hear the loud laughs, and they were chanting something that I didn't understand, and then I heard a familiar voice.

"That's enough!" Kibum? "Leave him alone!" he said threateningly, and the kicks stopped.

"What's going on?" Is ChanYeol here too? I looked up from my trembling arm.. It's really him.. "Why is Byun on the ground?" he asked angrily, and as he crouched down, I discovered a tremendous amount of concern in his irises. There was silence in the room. Only my soft cries could be heard. "Get out, the party is over," he growled, and the students immediately fled. I saw Kibum looking at me with worried eyes and when he acknowledged that Yeol is helping me, he grabbed SeungHyun's arm and left as well.

"BaekHyun," he strokes over my wet face and pulls me into his embrace. The pain is too much for me to take so I closed my eyes. "What were you doing here so early, hm? You're bringing trouble on yourself," he pressed his lips onto my forhead. "It wouldn't be the best to take you home like this," he thinks out loud as he was carrying me in bridal style. "He messed you up pretty badly.." he helped me in his car. "What do I do with you?"

"I don't care ..." I breathed weakly.

My body at this moment is clueless. Should I feel disgusted or should I let myself feel the bruises that I got? So this is how it feels when someone beats the shit out of you..

It feels horrible..

"Take me anywhere, I don't care." That was the last thing that came out of my mouth, due to the pain I was feeling I fainted.
