FlashBack
The room is dark. The only sound that can be heard is a small child yelling. "APPA, PLEASE LET ME GO!" young Joon pleaded. His Appa, Yeo Myung-hoon, grabs the young childs hair and throws him to the ground. "Why did I help raise a bastard of a child!?" his father said with a light slur in his words. The larger male grabs the smaller and drags him into a soundproof room. The last thing that can be heard before the door closes is the child pleading, "no...no...NO! PLEASE STOP, APPA! I'M SORRY...I'M SORRY...i'm sorry".
Present
One classroom in Myeongil University is bustling with excitement for right now they have a new student present. "New student would you like to introduce yourself?" the professor asks. "Sure!" he says with a dazzling smile, making all the girls fill with butterflies. "Hello, I am Yeo Joon and I hope to become friends with everyone" Joon says.

After class Yeo Joon finds himself walking out of his class next to this girl. The girl look over and smiles softly. "Hi, my name is So-Bin" the girl says. Joon replies, "Hi, I'm Yeo Joon". Yeo Joon looks past the So-Bin see a boy moving quickly through the halls. "Who is that?" Joon asks, pointing at the male student. "Ah, that's Nam Soo-Hyun. He is not really social so don't bother with him" replied a 'friend' who walked up to the two. "Oh, Okay" he says, his eyes till following the said male.

After class
Yeo Joon exits the classroom and starts to head towards the front of the school. He sees a bunch of girls crowded around a tall male figure. This tall male figure seemed familiar to him but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Joon decided to move closer to get a better look. The closer he got, the more his hands started to tremble. Until he saw him. He stopped dead in his tracks. "W'What is he doing here?" Joon says to himself. He starts to walk backwards, "He's not supposed to be here" Joon mumbled, sounding almost frustrated. He starts to walk away but fails to notice that the tall male's eyes are now following him.

As Yeo Joon makes his way pass popular hangout spots, he is stopped by someone calling his name. "Yeo Joon-ah" Han Jung-Ho calls out. Joon turns around his a friendly smile on his face. "Yes" Joon says. "Would you like to hangout with me and my friends?" Jung-Ho asks. "I would love to" Yeo replies with a fake smile plastered on his face. "We will be over there." Jung-Ho points towards his group of friends. As Jung-Ho goes to walk towards his group, he adds "Also if you could go buy snacks for the group, that would be nice." Jung-Ho says with a sly grin, turning back to continue walking. "Ah, Sure" Joon's smile falls for a split second then resurfaces.

Yeo Joon walks into the closest convient store and starts to grab snacks. After a couple of minutes he heads towards the front register. "That should be enough" Joon mutters as he looks through his basket for the fourth time. He sets the basket on the counter and looks up. He is suprised to see the so called anti-social male behind the register. "Are these all for you?" Soo-Hyun asks, raising a brow. "No, they are for my friends. I am buying today" Joon says with a fake smile. Soo-Hyun bags all the snacks. "18,589.89 ($19.56)" Soo-Hyun says in a slightly monotone voice. "Here you go" Joon hands him his card. Yeo Joon grabs the bags of snacks and heads towards the door. "Thank you" he says as he walks out.

Yeo Joon walks toward the group with the snacks in hand. "Oh, you brought a lot of snacks" he signals one of guys in the group to grabe the bags. "Sorry, but we decided to leave this spot so see ya around" Jung-Ho says walking away from Yeo Joon with the snacks. Yeo Joon's fist tightens but he lets it go and smiles. "All right, see you next time!" he says with a fake expression. Yeo Joon turns around to walk home.

In The Store
Soo-Hyun looks at all his bills and the amount he can physically give with frustration. "I might need to get another job...Fuck." he mutters, running his hands aggessively through his hair.

At Yeo Joon's Apartment
Yeo Joon walks into his apartment. He takes his shoes off and heads to the kitchen. Joon looks through the fridge. "Ramyeon it is then" he says in a depressed tone. he starts to boil the water in a pot. Suddenly his door bell rings. Yeo joon heads towards the door wondering who it could be since it's too late for delevery, not that he had ordered anything. He open the door to see his Appa, Myung-Hoon. "Appa, why are you here?" Joon asks. You could here a slight temble in his words. His father pushes Yeo Joon to the floor and walks in, the door closing behind him. Yeo Joon tries to stand up and gets pushed down again.

"Disgraceful rat! How dare you show your face at the same school as Joon-Wan!" His Appa yells. "I didn't know" Yeo Joon says fearfully. "LIAR!" Yeo Myung-Hoon yells. "A-Appa I d-didn't know!". Joon's dad picks him up by the collar and slaps him multiple times. "A-Appa I really d-didn't know!" Yeo Joon trembles in fear, scared to be hit again. Both bodies are now in the kitchen. "Still lying? I'll just have to teach you a lesson" His Appa's eyes go dark. He grabs the pot of boiling water. Yeo Joon's eyes go wide. But before he can say anything, he feels the boiling water hit his torso. Yeo joon lets out a painful sound. His dad looks down at him and kicks the spot where the water had hit the poor boy. "You better of learned your lesson" His appa pauses for a second "and don't go to the hospital. I'll know if you do" Myung-Hoon says as he walks out the door.

Yeo joon gets up sowly. He heads towards his bathroom and peels off his shirt to see the now blistering area. He gets a cold wet paper towel and places it on the burn with a hiss. he walks towards his bed and sits down. He hears his phone ring and picks it up. He waits for the other person to speak. "Yeo Joon" he hears his mother speak in a rough voice. "How dare you tarnish your brother's future! Do you even care for us? You don't even deserve yourlast name. What have i done to deserve such an ungratefu; rat of a child" his mum goes silent for a bit before continuing "or should i even call you my child" she says. Yeo Joon tries to say something but is cut of by the sound of his mum hanging up the phone.

Yeo Joon curls up into a ball, clutching his wound. He starts to whisper "You're okay, You're okay, You're okay. You have a lot of caring friends and a loving family" Joon says imagining what it would look like.

"You're okay' he says with a broken smile as a tear escapes from his closed eyes

"You Are Okay"
