(For SaturnYang because you're the best)

I clutched my precious belongings close to my torso as I was led down what felt like the longest corridor in the entire universe.

I was tough, but I also knew when I was out gunned. These two were built like tanks and I knew there was no escaping them. I might stand a chance against one of them, in the right circumstances, but this was a no brainer. I was done for.

"He's gone all shy!" Changbin's small, but strong and rough fingers pinched at my full cheeks. I squirmed under Bangchan's weighty arm, as it draped around my slender shoulders.

"You're not so full of it when your friends aren't around are you?" Bangchan laughed as he spoke. My teeth were dug so deeply into my lower lip I was certain I could taste blood.

I needed to get away from them. By any means necessary.

"In here little Jisung!" Changbin clapped excitedly before shoving me through the paper thin door into the putrid excuse for a bathroom. The boys at schools were animals and thus the toilets consistently smelt of a mix of stale urine, and the disgustingly sweet air fresheners the janitors tried to use to mask it .

"What do you want?" I slowly backed up into the wall, and my tiny squeaky voice bounced off of every filthy surface, repeating my question back to us.

"Awww, he's scared!" Chan and Changbin were delighted to see me in a state of fear, and I took a deep breath.

"I'm not scared, I'm also not an imbecile. Two on one is pretty cowardly don't you think?"  They both looked simultaneously horrified and terrifically angry that I would even suggest they were cowards.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Chan's deep brown eyes narrowed as he glared at me through the rage building inside him.

I just needed a couple of minutes. I knew it. I knew what would happen if I could just keep them talking.

"너 바보야?" ("Neo baboya? Are you stupid?") "Individually I could take either one of you on and win." The confidence spewing from my mouth was a stark contrast on the tight grip my anxiety had on my heart and lungs. Breathing was become cumbersome and a panic attack would likely follow unless I began my calming techniques soon. I had never been bullied before.

"You wish!" Changbin was slapping his gym shaped thick thighs and almost in tears as he spat the words at me.

"So is that why you're here together? Bullying me as a pair rather than one on one? At least your boss is brave enough to face me." That seemed to touch a delicate nerve with both of them. A fist flew past my face and into the wall behind me.

"We don't have a boss!" Chan's teeth were gritted so tightly as he spoke I thought he may need some dental work if he didn't release is jaw.

"진짜?? (Jinjja? Really?") Because you act like two little puppies around him pretty well!" His fist lifted and I braced for the impact, waiting for the pain to explode somewhere in my face.

"야, 바보, 뭐하세요? (Ya, babo, mwohaseyo? Hey idiot, what are you doing?)" The silky voice was different. Instead of being filled with venom as it usually was when I heard it, concern filled the voice instead. I dared to force my screwed up face to relax. Leeknow was holding back his flexed arm, and Chan was visibly straining to release it, to no avail.

"He was-" slap the sound echoed around every inch of the room, bouncing off of every single porcelain surface around us. It was so loud my ears were left ringing, and it took a second to register that it wasn't in fact me who had been hit.
