The boy woke up in pain. His back sending sharp pains through his spine.
He felt sick.He knew he was sick.
He had been out in the rain the night before and fell asleep. He wasn't supposed to, but did anyways.
He was laying down on the uncomfortable metal seat, infront of the playground with a street light behind it.
He didn't regret coming here though, it was better than going back home.
He's scared of his home. He can't go back. But he needs too.
This place was like his 'happy Place' it made him feel happy. For some reason though, he never felt alone.
It kind of scared him, like he wasn't the only one there.
Thinking of that made him shiver. He was not only cold, but late to school.
Really late.
Last night was a Wednesday night.
He should've known.He checked his phone, the battery was at 23% and the time was;
"TWELVE THIRTY?! I missed half my school day!! Fuck.."
He groaned.
The black haired boy finally sat up and walked away from the street light.
But as he was waking away, he could've sworn he saw something in the corner of his eye. So he quickened his paste.
Almost tripping over his feet, he heard footsteps behind him.
He started running.
"Hey! Kid! I saw you here last night! Are you okay?!" He stoped, and turned around to see a tall man with dark brown hair running towards him.
"I- uhh, yeah..I'm just late for class..like really late for class...
"Oh? Uhh..well...I think its better if you skip..because you don't look to well.."
"How do I know you're not a stalker who's trying to kidnap me..?"
"I mean..you're not wrong..but I'm pretty much your age too... I live in this neighbourhood too.. I'm only nineteen."
"Oh.."
He started to loosen up, now knowing that the slightly taller boy, with messy hair was just two years older than him."I'm Yeonjun, you are..?"
"Beomgyu...Choi Beomgyu."
