A sudden hand grasped Renjun's forearm before covering his mouth, dragging him into the office. That Thursday, Mr Seo was attentively following every move the Chinese made to find the perfect time to drag him to the office. It was lunchtime, and the sound of students chatting outside or in the hall downstairs was a mere buzz from Mr Seo's room. No one would hear anything. Upon being grabbed, Renjun's first instinct was to scream, but as his mouth was shut by the large hand he started thrashing around. Before he could process it, he was already in the office and shoved to the chair as Mr Seo locked the door.

"What the fuck do you want? Wait, don't even answer that question, and let me out," warned Renjun, jumping up from the chair and edging towards the wall.

Mr Seo's figure towered over his as he looked down menacingly. "Renjun, I'm hurt. You've been such a good student, why are you disobeying me?" He leaned closer as his fingers brushed over Renjun's arm.

Forcefully grabbing his hand, he shoved it away. "You're disgusting. I'm surprised you're still a teacher despite doing shit like this."

Striding towards the door, Renjun attempted to unlock the door, since the key was still in the hole. Mr Seo quickly spun the student around and slammed him against the door, causing the handle to dig into Renjun's back.

"You aren't going anywhere until I get what I want."

A wave of panic flooded Renjun when the teacher undid his shirt and started groping him. His mind went into a state of terror as he tried pushing Mr Seo away, being unsuccessful. As he was about to raise his hands, the teacher pinned Renjun's upper arms on either side of him, his nails digging into his skin. At the meeting of the teacher's lips against his, Renjun's eyes pricked with tears as he didn't know what to do. His legs were shaking and weak, unable to help him. Desperately, his eyes darted around the room to see if he could figure or a way to escape.

His hands were behind his back as he tried his best to unlock the door. After a bit, Mr Seo's grip on Renjun's arms weakened as he started fiddling with the boy's uniform instead. Arms sore, Renjun saw faint red marks form on the areas the teacher gripped. He shifted his attention to the teacher's hands pressed against his waist as his lips stained his neck with bruises. Whilst the teacher was preoccupied, Renjun gulped back his fear as his hands slowly trailed to the door handle and key behind him. As he was fumbling with the key, he heard a sudden click and was going to push down on the door handle when the teacher grabbed him by the waist. The teacher carried him onto the desk and placed him there.

Renjun was caught off guard as Mr Seo aggressively kept sucking on his skin, causing more tears to land on his pale cheeks.

"Please l-let me go," he stammered through his tears.

However, the teacher had no remorse as he stared into Renjun's eyes with pure lust. "Not until I'm satisfied."

Applying pressure to Renjun's thigh, he starts caressing it as he wiped the tears on the boy's face. "Now, be a good boy and don't make too much noise whilst I have some fun, ok?"

Renjun's hands grabbed onto the elder's arm as he looked up at him with pleading eyes. "Please, leave me alone."

The room felt stiff and Renjun felt like there was a lack of oxygen, his breathing unstable and his throat dry as he tried forming words. Mr Seo simply hushed him and placed his hand on Renjun's neck. Fear was written all over his face and he felt a harsh pounding against his head. Mr  Seo's hand snuck into Renjun's trousers and were grazing over the band of the boy's boxers when all of a sudden a loud thud was heard, followed by a bang.

"PUT YOUR HANDS UP!" It was Renjun's dad, Zixin.

He pointed his gun at Mr Seo whilst another officer rushed over to arrest the teacher. Renjun immediately recognised him as Johnny and watched as the teacher was forcefully turned around and placed handcuffs on him.

"Mr Seo Jinsu, you are being arrested for rape and sexual assault. You have the right to remain silent. Anything that you say can be used against you in the Court of Law."

From behind Zixin, Jeno stepped forwards as he rushed towards a crying Renjun. The Chinese were trembling as he brought his arms up to cover his bruise littered chest, not looking up at anyone. Jeno's heart broke. He approached the male carefully.

"Renjunnie," he called out.

Upon hearing his name, Renjun lifted his head and locked eyes with Jeno before bursting into tears. Slowly, Jeno brought his arms around Renjun's waist and pulled him close, rubbing his back soothingly. He noticed how Renjun flinched at the touch, before allowing himself to be in the comfort of Jeno's hug. The bruises on his neck were visible, and it pissed Jeno off how Mr Seo could do something like this.

"I'm sorry I couldn't protect you," whispered Jeno into Renjun's ear, guilt written all over his voice.

"You tried to, and that's still a lot. Besides, if you didn't get the police, it could've been worse," replied Renjun through his hiccups as the tears still rolled down his face.

Mr Seo cursed profanities and struggled to break free of the grip of the police officer. Johnny started dragging the teacher out of the office and into the hall, where the headteacher and a few other staff stood to watch. They were all in shock as they witnessed the scene. Once they reached the gates, every student on the field was hushed, whispering amongst themselves as they watched the teacher being shoved into a police car.

Zixin and Jeno were in the office calming down Renjun as a few more officers came in. Beside them was Hyunjin, looking calm and collected despite his insides churning at seeing Renjun's vulnerable state.

"Officer Zixin, this young student claims he has evidence of Mr Seo harassing others."

Stepping forward, Hyunjin held up a USB stick. "I'm part of the school photography team and once I found out what he was doing, I decided to gather proof and statements through our school website."

"And may I ask what your name is?"

"Hwang Hyunjin. I was one of the people sending those letters to the station. I'm H.H and Jeno is L.J."

"Wait-" spoke up Renjun, turning to Jeno- "In one of the letters you sent, you said you were raped..." his voice went quiet before tears filled his pearly eyes once again, arms clinging around the Korean male.

As the officer and Hyunjin delved deeper into the conversation, Jeno gave all his attention to Renjun, whispering words of encouragement and reassurance.

"He can't hurt you anymore, Renjunnie, you're safe."
