"what's your name, kid?" jaeyun asked.

"nishimura riki, but I prefer ni-ki," he spoke.

jaeyun nodded, "and your parents?"

the teenager stayed silent.

jaeyun sighed, realising what the young boy had meant.

"so, you're alone?" he questioned, earning a nod from the boy.

"do you have anywhere to stay?" he asked.

ni-ki shook his head, "no, that's why those kids bully me."

"will you be willing to stay with me?" jaeyun asked.

ni-ki frowned, "I cannot burden you like that, mr."

jaeyun chuckled, "it's okay, ni-ki. also, you can just call me hyung."

"really?"

the elder nodded, smiling, softly ruffling the teenager's hair.

"ni-ki!"

the boy was covered in crimson liquid. his clothes were torn, his face and body covered with bruises and cuts of all sorts.

jaeyun approached him hurriedly, "what happened to you?" he asked.

ni-ki cried, "I'm so sick of them, hyung..."

jaeyun pulled the boy into his embrace, "it's okay, ni-ki. we'll deal with them soon, okay?"

the younger boy nodded.

the male sighed and carried the other to the sofa.

"I'll go get the first aid kit, okay? or do you want to go to the hospital?"

"no! no hospitals hyung! please no hospitals..." he pleaded.

the elder nodded his head, "okay, no hospitals. don't move to much, okay? I'll be back in a few minutes."

the young boy nodded.

jaeyun stood frozen in his spot.
