FLASHBACKS
A little boy is hiding in a closet with his hands over his mouth. The sounds of funiture being thrown around can be heard from in the closet making the little boy flinch. It goes silent for a bit until the closet door is ripped open. The little boy looks up to see disheveled father peering down at him with disgust. "You little shit!" he said in slured tone. The boy's father raises his hand and goes to hit the boy.
END OF FLASHBACKSYeo-joon flinches from the sudden flashback. he is still standing infront of the mirror. He opens the cabnet door and grabs supplies to treat his wounds. The burn covers his whole torso. He quickly finishes and gets ready for school.
At school
Yeo-joon makes his way into his class. He enters the room and smiles at everyone despite the severe pain he was in. A figure comes up behind hime and puts their arm around his shoulder. The figure starts speaking, "Yeo-joon-ah, good morning". It was Jung-ho. Yeo-joon greets him and makes his way to his seat.
The teacher walks in and sets her stuff down. She proceeds to turn the projector on. "Good morning class. Today I will be assigning a group project." the professor instructs. The class starts to whisper to each other assuming they get to choose their partners. Their whispers were interupted by the teacher, "I will be picking the groups". Everyone sighs ad waits for the teacher to continue. She starts calling groups and finally Yeo-joon hears his group. "So-bin, Jung-Ho, Chun-guk, and Soo-hyun" she calls. 'Great I'm stuck with Jung-ho and chun-guk' Yeo-joon says to himself.
After class Yeo-joon makes his way over to Soo-hyun, who is already making his way through the hallways. "Hey Soo-hyun hyung, can i have your phone number for the group project?" Yeo-joon asks. All he got in return was silence. Soo-hyun simpily igored him ad kept walking. 'At least I have So-bin's number" he thought.
Yeo-joon makes his way towards the front of the school. His phone starts ringing. He grabs his phone and answers the call. "Hel-" before he could finish the greeting, he was cut off. "Yeo-joon, you are to join us for lunch. I've made an appointment for you to dye your hair. You better not miss it. I swear if you embarress us anymore, you will regret it." Yeo-joon's mother harshly spits and hangs up. Yeo-joon drops his hand that is holding his phone so that is by this body. He lets out a shakey breath. 'I don't wan't to dye my hair though" he says to himself. His phoe goes off again and he looks down to see a message from So-bin about the group meeting.
At the group meeting
Yeo-joon makes it the location that the meeting is being held. He sits down across from Soo-hyun and grabs his materials out. After waiting 15 minutes for Jung-ho and Chun-guk, So-bin talks. "Looks like Jung-ho and Chun-guk are missing" she says. "We'll start without them", Soo-hyun sternly states.
Soo-hyun starts to hand out the assigned sections of work to So-bin and I. "Why do I get the least amount of work" Yeo-joo questions. "You want more? Are you sure you can handle more?" Soo-hyun questions in a slightly mocking tone. "I'll prove that I can do it!" Yeo-joon says with determination.
After some time the group decides to head home. As they are packing up, they hear a voice at the entrance. "Why are you leaving, we just got here?". We look over to see the two missing members of our group standing, well swaying, at the entrance. Soo-hyun rolls his eyes, "We had a time arranged and you missed it. Not my fault you decided drinking was more important". Jung-ho rushes forward and grabs Soo-hyun's shirt. "What the fuck did you just say" he yells harshly. Yeo-joon quickly goes to Jung-ho. "Jung-ho please calm down. You're drunk" Yeo-joon pleaded. Soo-hyun rolls his eyes at Jung-ho's actions and scoffs,"typical"."Fucking bastard!" Jung-ho yells, trying to hit Soo-hyun. Yeo-joon tries to hold Jung-ho back but gets thown to the ground, hitting his burn against the ground.
It hit him like a cement wall. Jung-ho's loud voice soon got drowned out by the screams of his father as he hit him. After a couple seconds, Soo-hyun's voice seemed to snap him out of his trance. He sees Jung-Ho about hit Soo-hyun. Fear took over him. "STOP! DON'T HIT HIM! STOP HITTING!" Yeo-joon screamed. Everyone stopped and looked at the fragile looking boy, shocked that he had even the ability to yell. Jung-ho brushed himself off and walked out with Chun-guk. Yeo-joon gathered himself and walked out, leaving the other two behind.
Yeo-joon walked out of the bathroom with black hair and made his way to the entrance. He sees a car pull up infront of him. "Get in the car." Joon-wan says in a stern voice.
At the main house
Yeo-joon is standing in the back as his mother greets his Aunt and Uncle. "Welcome" Yeo-joon's mother says to his Aunt and Uncle. They go and sit down at the table that had been already been covered with snacks and desserts.
"How are you boys?" Auntie asked. Yeo-joon's mother,Jung-joo, answered for them, "Well Joon-wan is a professor now". Uncle looks over at me. "What about you, Yeo-joon" he asked. I reply, "Ah, I go to the same university that Hyung teaches at". "Oh really" he says. Joon look over to see the hatred in his parents eyes.
After Lunch
The women who gave life to Yeo-joon sat on the couch staring coldly at Joon. "Go home." Jung-joo says flatly. His father suddenly barges into the room and grabs Yeo-joon's face, strong enough to leave finger marks. "You piece of shit! How dare you try to embarress us!" His father yelled, throwing him to the ground. His father then stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him. "Yeo-joon come here." His mother orders. What Joon didn't know was as he was thrown down, his blond hair peaked through a tiny bit. When Joon reached his mother, she roughly grabbed his "hair" and wripped it off. "You're wearing a wig, you piece of shit! You couldn't listen to simple directions! I better not see your face for a while!" his mother yelled, slapping him in the face. Yeo-joon stumbled out of the house and walked home which was an 2 hour walk.
He finally made it home. He sluggishly opened the fridge and got out soju bottles. After finishing a bottle or two, he fell to the floor and curled into himslelf. "You're okay. You have a loving family that supports you no matter what. You have friends who love you for you. Yeah...that's right. I'm happy" he says with a smile as tears run down his cheek.
He passes out on the floor. Left to the silence of the lonely apartment that is occupided by a lonely and hurting little boy who never got to see neverland. Will he every get to be wendy and escape his hell.
