With a grunt falling from his bleeding mouth - taehyung collided into the gym room locker. "You sick fuck-", one of the 3 boys surrounding him cursed, punching him in his gut again. Taehyung coughed , falling to his knees, blinking out tears which streamed down his bruised cheeks.

"Say it !", the older boy yelled. His thunderous voice echoing. The other 2 leaned against the lockers , holding out their cellphones - waiting eagerly for taehyungs confession.

"Say it you dumb fuck!", the older smacked taehyung on the head. Taehyung whimpered, shaking his head as the blood trickled down his chin. His vision blurred from pain and tears.  "I'm- not - gay", he shivered. "The fuck you are ! Confess already asshole! How much more pain can your puny body handle?", they mocked , taking turns to kick him in his stomach. "Pea-please", taehyung choked up blood , rolling onto his side and vomiting.

"Disgusting-", one of them gagged dramatically.

"I'd say you're pretty strong for a 5th grader-", the older teased,  nudging tae with his shoe. "Listen, I gotta head home. My mother is preparing lasagna-", he chimed and the others hummed. "So just confess and we'll leave you alone". Taehyung struggled to lift himself into a seated position. His back resting against the lockers as he breathed heavily. "I'm not - gay", he uttered.

"Fuck-", the other fisted the locker , making tae flinch. "Your brothers insisted on you being fucking gay. They want a fucking confession prick-", he slapped taehyung across his cheek.

The mention of brothers made taehyung sob even more. He could never understand why they hated him. He had never caused them trouble or taddled about their messed up antics. So why were they constantly trying to humiliate him?

"Well , tomorrow is another day. We'll make sure they get that confession. We were promised porn magazines-", the older hissed. "We will not lose those because of you asshole", he kicked tae's leg before ordering the other 2 to follow him out of the locker room. Taehyung sniffled and began to cry hysterically. His body shivering from more than just pain. He was angry. Never in his 11 years of life had he experienced such rage. His soul quaked and heart galloped within his chest.

The love he had for his brothers slowly turned into a dark hatred. One that ran so deep , it's roots began to grow into his heart and mind.

With much effort and whimpering , he got to his feet. He knew joon and kookie would be home by now and that's where taehyung was headed. He needed to release the anger he was feeling.

"Go long!", jungkook screamed,  throwing the ball through the evening air. "Why would you toss that far!", joon scold and ran off to fetch the ball.

"Boys! Come and eat. Are you sure taehyung is still in the library?", their mothers voice called from inside the house. "Yes mother ! He said he had some project-", jungkook winked at joon who tossed back the ball. "You think he's alive?", joon chuckled.

"JUNGKOOK!".

They both snap their heads to taehyung. "Holy fuck-", joon stuttered at the bloody sight. "I'll get mother -", his knees began to shake as he rushed into to get their mother. Jungkook frowned  , throwing down the ball. "What? You better not fucking cry to mama-", he grit his teeth as taehyung wobbled up their driveway, dropping his schoolbag.

"Why won't you leave me alone ! What have I ever done to you!", taehyung lunged forward, swinging his fist but jungkook easily tackled him to the ground. "Get off me asshole!", taehyung seethe ,making jungkook laugh. "Asshole? You're the one who's getting plugged by men-", he spat at the wounded boy underneath. "FUCK OFF!", taehyung went ballistic. "Shut it you worthless runt", kookie lift a fist to land in taehyungs face but the sound of their fathers loud shouts made him halt and pretend to be continued.
