Insomnolence

Chapter 3

Minho POV

It was late at night when I got back to my dorm. I ended up at the club Chan works at, I wasn't planning to stay for long but people kept offering me drinks. It was a nice night and I didn't end up getting wasted, which would make going to class tomorrow less dreadful..

I quickly changed my clothes and jumped onto my bed, this was kinda lonely. I layed there for a while in silence until I heard something like sniffling, someone crying in the room next door. Damn, these walls are thin. I could hear it all, I chose to ignore it and play some music over the cries.

Warning

Jisung POV

"Dad, please don't do that." I tried to hold my dad back from stepping closer to my mother. My mother was struggling to stand, leaning against the wall crying.

"I'm going to kill her, the reason you're like this is all her fault. She let you play with those dolls and dress up when you were a kid." He pushed me hard, so hard my head hit the wall behind us. I had no more strength to push him back, much less get up.

"Stop, it's not her fault. She always tried to stop me from playing with them, but I never listened. Don't touch her." That's when he glared at me and started to walk towards me, as long as it wasnt my mom. He pulled me off the floor by the collar and punched me in the stomach so hard it made me throw up. He didn't stop until his hand started to bleed.

"You are a disappointment, kissing a boy in front of me. You're lucky he left before I could get to him." He continued to kick me as I layed on the floor. He was showing no signs of stopping until he turned towards my mom.

"You come here." He yelled at her, she slowly approached, eventually standing next to him. "Kick him." He yelled while pulling her hair.

My mother resisted until he raised his hand about to hit her. She looked scared so she did what he told her. She kicked me and my dad stood there and watched in satisfaction.

"Kick him until he stops being gay."

Warning End

I woke up in a panic, I felt like I couldn't breathe. I snuggled in my bad covers crying and trying to convince myself that I was ok.

I looked at the time to see it was 4:39am. At least I got some sleep today, usually I wake up even earlier. I know I won't be able to fall back asleep, I slipped on a hoodie and walked out the door. I went down to the nearest convenience store and bought energy drinks. I was going to need them if I was going to survive the day.

As I was walking back to my dorm I noticed the loud music playing from the room next to mine. I ignored it and walked back into my room.

Once I settled down I opened one energy drink and put the rest in my mini fridge. I started drinking it while trying to study, my eyes unconsciously closing. I immediately opened them wide. To be honest, I was scared of my dreams. They always recall memories I try to forget.

By the time I needed to get ready for class the sun was shining into my room. I looked out my window seeing many people walking by. I didn't want to leave my room, but Seungmin would get upset if I didn't show up for class. Especially, since this class is the only class, he has with his crush. All he ends up doing is talking about him and gets flustered when he looks in our general direction.

I got ready and walked out the door opening another energy drink. As soon as I stepped out of my room, I bumped into someone.

"What the fuck!" I said out loud without thinking, raising my hand to wipe the energy drink that had spilled on my hoodie. My mood was already terrible and this was the cherry on top. I soon realized what I said, regret instantly kicking in.

I looked at the person and noticed it was the guy I bumped into at the stairs a couple nights ago. I guess we live on the same floor.

"My bad! You don't need to be so rude about it." This boy glared at me but looked towards my room number. He looked back at me and the only thing I could notice was how good looking he was.

Maybe it was the way he was dressed or the piercing he had. "What's your name?" I asked him while taking in his features.

"Minho" I stared at him for a while because neither of us said anything after that. But then I was hit with reality and looked at my wet hoodie.

"Omg I'm late." I quickly went around and walked into my room to change my hoodie. I forgot about Minho standing there and closed the door behind me.

When I came out again the guy was gone. I started to run to class or else Seungmin would have my head on a platter.

*^*

"So, you're a little late?" Seungmin whispered into my ear as I took my seat and settled down.

"Yeah, I accidentally bumped into someone and spilled my drink on myself. I had to quickly change my hoodie."

"Who was it?" Seungmin looked at me.

"Some guy named Minho." Seungmin looked at me suspiciously.

"Wait, did he have an eyebrow piercing?" I looked at him weary, did he know this Minho guy.

"Yeah he did. I accidentally swore at him. Why did I do something wrong?" Seungmins' eyes widened, and I started to panic a little.

"Do you know what you just did? You swore at the guy you should have avoided. Minho the guy you ran into has connections. His entire friend group is loaded, including himself." I wanted to ask more but Seungmin interrupted.

"Hyunjin is one of his friends too." We both looked in the direction Hyunjin was in.

"Oh" Now I was really panicking.
