She didn't know what to do. She gripped onto her dress feeling like she was suffocating as her mind replayed the events over and over again. Why couldn't she stop thinking about it?

"Ryujin!" The Loud voice of Yeji was heard as the black haired girl turned her head. Yeji approached her with a visible and obvious upset frown.

"I'm sorry" she began the second she managed to get close enough to her. At this point the embrace she got should've been the most normal thing in the world.

"Please...don't. I was stupid" Ryujin laughed bitterly as if it would make her feel better. Yeji frowned as she tried so hard to keep Ryujin from breaking down right there.

"How? It doesn't matter how smart you are but with how close you guys were there's no way you could've seen it coming." The older girl tried to comfort her, choosing her words carefully.

"No. I should've seen it coming. I mean have you seen Jisu? She's gorgeous...and rich and perfect but I'm me. I'm plain old Ryujin with homophobic parents and have you seen me? I could never be good enough for her even if I tried." The girl finally cried. Everything was so hard to take in and she knew she should've known better.

"Jinnie, you're gorgeous and you are more than enough for anyone. I know it's hard that your parents are homophobic but you can't change that." Yeji whispered the soothing words to the poor girl. She so badly wanted to slap Jisu into realization of what she'd done.

"Then there's Chaeryeong. She's so pretty, her mom and sister support her decisions and it's just unfair." Ryujin muttered. Closing her eyes to try and stop the tears from falling. Yeji felt bad looking at how upset the other girl looked. If only Jisu didn't decide to absolutely ruin everything.

"Please stop worrying Ryujin. I know it must be hard, you loved her so much and she ended up doing that. God if I were you I know you probably don't ever wanna see her again." Yeji said this time wrapping her arms around Ryujins shoulder so the girl could cry.

"I really don't. I don't think I'll be able to stand looking at them together." Ryujin said bitterly, looking at anything but Yeji. She was embarrassed, and upset oh how she would do anything to have never been at that party in the first place.

Yeonjun grabbed a bag filling it with his favorite clothes, he didn't care if his dad would be home soon and he would be in big big trouble with him. Right now all he wanted was to disappear out of this stupid house.

The trip was what he needed. A break. From everyone else. The only good thing about it would probably be Taehyun and Kai and perhaps Soobin.

"You're back." Those words filled Yeonjuns ears causing him to smile. He turned around to be met with Jennie. The girl sat on his bed watching him pack his stuff.

"Of course I am. I wouldn't leave you for too long." He joked as he ran his hand through her brown hair. His eyes landed on the bruise on her arm.

"Did he hit you again? God I should've been here. I'm so sorry Nini, he could've hit me instead of you." Yeonjun complained sitting down next to his sister to hold her hand. She pulled her hands away and looked him in the eyes.

"Why do you do this? I'm older than you Junnie. I'm supposed to watch over you. Stop trying to be so strong. I'm glad you got away. You got a break and you deserved it because you don't deserve any of this." Jennie spoke gently, placing her hands on Yeonjuns face.

"I know but you're so important to me and I don't know what I do if something serious happened to you because I wasn't there-"

"CHOI YEONJUN GET DOWN HERE THIS SECOND"

Yeonjuns face turned pale as Jennie's hand went down to hold his hands. The fear washed over him causing his breath to get caught on his throat.

Slowly he made his way down the stairs with Jennie right behind him in case anything went too far.

"Where were you?!" The man asked once Yeonjun was close enough. He had a belt on his hand and Yeonjuns heart was beating a million miles.

"W-with a friend," he mumbled. The man gripped onto his hair bringing him close enough to his face.

"Was it a boy?" He sneered and Yeonjun knew he had no way to refuse. It was as If the man could smell the lie off him.

"Mhm" he ended up saying before he was thrown on the ground. He yelped in pain as the belt reached his skin.

"YOU FUCKING FAGGOT. I TOLD YOU TO SLEEP OUTSIDE! NEXT TIME YOU MISBEHAVE YOUR GOING TO BE IN A DAMN GRAVE" The man spoke continuing to hit the boy with the belt.

SMACK
SMACK
SMACK
SMACK

"MOM DO SOMETHING!" Jennie yelled frozen in place from fear as tears ran down her face. The woman didn't seem bothered. She sat on the couch with a cigarette in her mouth as she watched Yeonjun get hit over and over again.

"DAD STOP IT DAMN IT" Jennie yelled stepping in front of the man only to get thrown on the ground. Yeonjun yelled in pain, the pain was unbearable and he felt so weak.

The three boys sat in the park with ice cream in hand. Taehyun's heart was close to beating out of his chest as he watched Beomgyu.

Why was the older boy so effortlessly handsome? The man was so gorgeous it was unfair.

"So when we go on the trip I'm thinking we could all hang out together. You know, you and your gang and us with ours. We could go to a water park!" Eric exclaimed, basically attacking his ice cream. Taehyun turned to face him, curiosity clear on his face.

"We're allowed to do that?" He asked honestly not knowing anything.

"Yeah sometimes. It depends if we're good but I'm sure we all have good enough grades and behavior shouldn't be a problem since Seonghwa and Hongjoong hyung are going to be there" Beomgyu said.

"Anyway I need to show you guys something. I just need a little help" Beomgyu said, taking out a folded note.

The two boys read it, one greatly embarrassed and the other greatly interested. Eric took the note in his hand, his eyes opening wide.

"No way you got a secret admirer?!"

"I wish it was just an admirer not a secret one. I need suggestions on who it could it be" Beomgyu frowned

"What if it's Aeri? She's someone who would write like this." Eric suggested

"NO" Taehyun accidentally let out getting questioning glances from Beomgyu and Eric

"Haha...I mean what if it's not a girl? You never really know but it's just a suggestion" taehyun muttered

Beomgyu looked at him for a second before turning his head away and focusing on the letter.
