Escape (Beomgyu FF)

red

white. everywhere i look.

white walls

white ceiling 

white clothes

white bed

white sheets

white curtains to the only window

white door.

i wish there was more color in my life. the only colorful thing i have is my stuffed bear. he is red

luckily red is my favorite color

red like freshly bloomed roses

red like the ladybugs who visit in the summer

red like the betta fish who sometimes fly around my room

somethings moving behind the door window.

"someones coming!" i say to my red stuffed bear

"hide then!" bear tells me

"your right!" i say. i jump up from the corner i was sitting in and run behind my bed. 

the door opens

i squeeze my eyes shut, rocking back and forth and wishing that it wasnt the adults coming for me again

"beom?"

all tension releases from my body in a relieved sigh

"oh thank goodness its just you!" i peek my head up from behind the bed. i see my best friend taehyun walk through the door. "i thought it was an adult" i tell bear

"that would have been bad," bear tells me

i run up and give taehyun a hug "where have you been!! it feels like forever since you came to see me" i told him

"oh you know, just walking around, this place is very bland you know. kinda creepy too" taehyun tells me. "hey i like your hair! its grown out long since the last time i saw you"

"thanks! i think i like it long. and yea tell me about it. the adults keep me in here most of the time. speaking of which, how come you can come in and out of the door but i cant?" i ask the red haired shortie

his hair has always been red

red like freshly bloomed roses

red like the ladybugs who visit in the summer

red like the betta fish who sometimes fly around my room

"i dunno, maybe youre just too dumb to open the doors" he says

i laugh hysterically

"tae youre so funny!!! you are probably right, im just too stupid to figure out how the door works" i tell him genuinely "otherwise i would have walked out by now"

"yea, you can be really stupid sometimes" he laughs with me

 "the adults here also think im dumb. why else do you think they keep me in this room all the time? you wanna know whats funny tae?" i ask him

"yea what is it?"

"they even told me that you dont exist! isnt that crazy? youre right here in front of me!" i laugh hysterically again "they had the audacity to tell me that theres not a single person in this building named kang taehyun."

"wow, thats crazy, maybe the adults are the stupid ones here!" taehyun laughs with me

"i know right!" i say, wiping my tears from laughing so hard "so what did you come and visit me for?" i ask him

"im here to help you get out!" my best friend says

 "great! you got any ideas? cuz i dont" i tell him

"yea i can give you a few ideas" he smiles at me "have you tried screaming until an adult comes?" 

"bear already suggested that one to me" i say, pointing to the red bear on my bed "it didnt work. they only came in here and poked me with a needle. then i fell asleep" i shuddered, remembering the feeling of them holding me down while i screamed until my throat burned

"oh hi bear, i didnt even see you there" taehyun says, walking over to my bed

"hi taehyun!" bear tells him. my best friend waves back to bear

"so you got any other ideas?" i ask him

"have you tried breaking the window?" taehyun asks me. i think for a while with my hand on my chin

"no, i dont think so" i say

"well what are you waiting for? lets get you the hell out of here" taehyun smiles

i look out the window

its so pretty outside

there are dark clouds, and it looks like the stars are falling from the sky

the streets look empty and papers are flying everywhere

it looks like theres nobody in the outside world

its beautiful. and i want to be there

i think for a moment. i dont want to hurt my hands or my arms, then i wouldnt be able to do anything by myself. i look around for anything in the room, but everything is either bolted to the ground or to the wall.

"come on, think think think" i say, tapping my head. i get an idea. "my head! duh!" i smile

i rest my hands on the window sill and brace myself, looking at taehyun

he smiles at me and gives me two thumbs up in approval

looking back to the window, i lean my head back and squeeze my eyes shut

then i swing my head forward as fast as possible

with great force, my forehead hits the window, and i feel myself falling down to the ground from the impact

i hear ringing in my ear

i open my eyes from where im laying on the ground to see blood on the window shortly before my vision fills with spots

i touch my head

i look at my hand

its covered in a beautiful shade of red

red like freshly bloomed roses

red like the ladybugs who visit in the summer

red like the betta fish who sometimes fly around my room

the last thing i hear before everything goes black is the door to my room bursting open with shouting in the background
