Time: 7.15 pm

3rd Person POV

"Lee Juyeon, where is the fucking dinner?!"

A drunk female boomed throughout the small, two-story house as a little boy came downstairs slowly.

"M- mom, I'm sorry. I- I fell a- asleep" he said, trembling like a leaf.

"You what?! Aish you useless piece of shit" she pushed him to the floor, making him close his eyes in pain, trying to refrain from crying.

"You need to learn a fucking lesson"

This was Juyeon's daily life. Slaving away for his mother and getting abused. His mother became an alcoholic, thinking that Juyeon was the reason her husband passed away, so she always harmed him physically and mentally.

"Aish! Just go and bring me some fucking food. You only make my headache worse" she said after beating him. She then dropped herself onto the couch and fell asleep after a few minutes.

"Owww" Juyeon groaned as he stood up. Going towards the table where his mother's purse was placed, he took some money from it, "Will this be enough?" he shrugged his shoulders and left his home.


15min Later

📍 7 Eleven

Juyeon was checking the aisles, looking for some food when someone called him,

"Hi"

He flinched and looked behind him to see a boy with Brown hair.

"Uh...Hi?" he softly said, tilting his head to the side.

"Um, there are some bruises on your face and hands. Are you okay?" the boy asked Juyeon with a worried frown on his face.

"Y- yeah" Juyeon stuttered.

"I'm Hyunjae!" Hyunjae cheerly said, extending his hand to Juyeon, "And you?"

"J- Juyeon" he shook his hand with Hyunjae, making Hyunjae gasp.

"Oh my god, there are little cuts in your palm. I can feel it!"

"I- it's nothing" Juyeon swiftly took his hand away from Hyunjae's grip and scurried over to the next aisle.

"Hyung who was that?"

"He said he is Juyeon, but his face, hands, and palms are bruised Changmin"

"Then we should help him right?" Changmin asked, smiling as Hyunjae nodded his head.

The two boys then went towards the direction of where Juyeon went and saw him there.

"Juyeon!"

The said boy looked and saw another boy with Hyunjae.

"Hello, Juyeon! My name is Changmin and I hope we can get along well"

"Y-yeah"

"We are going to eat some ramen. Will you join us?" Hyunjae asked Juyeon as he took three cups of ramen in his arms.

"No, i- it's okay"

"Hey, come on! We won't accept "no" as an answer" Changmin said, dragging Juyeon towards a table as Hyunjae followed them from behind.


Time Skipped

"So you mean your mom always beat you?!" Hyunjae shouted and looked at Juyeon who had his head hung low.
