(TW⚠️: self harm)

22 june 2022, Thursday 8:25 pm

Swollen red eyes, nose turned red after crying hard, heart thudding in her chest, y/n was looking at herself in the mirror, hating herself..

Trying hard to hide her loud sobs from her family, she was slowly drowning in her own tears..

Y/n was pretending to be okay in front of her family, but slowly she was dying inside. The reason for all this mess was her school bully, Park Hye seul. she made her life a living hell.

Everyday was a literal hell for y/n, but she was slowly getting use to it. Y/n hated her life because she could not stand for herself against Hye seul.

Hye seul was a really intelligent kid, with a really horrible personality. y/n filed complaint against Hye seul in her school but the school dismissed it because Hye seul had the ability to make her school popular by being a topper in the whole state.

Ignoring all these things, y/n only had one thing that she loved the most, and that was drowing in the bath tub. She loved having bath.

She loved the feeling of the cold water touching her sensitive skin making her shiver down her spine. It soothed her whole body.

It released her muscles, and removed every tension from her body.

Y/n removed her clothes and got into the bathtub, feeling pain on the bruises she had on her body.

Taking bath was like a exit from this shitty reality, we can say it was like a coping mechanism for her.

It was painful for her because the water touched her cuts and injuries, which caused a burning sensation on her sensitive skin, but it was bearable and she loved the feeling.

After 15 minutes of deluging in the water, Y/n's brother MinJoon, softly knocked on the door, to call her for dinner.

"Come out for dinner, mom is calling you, don't waste your time." as usual he kept nagging her.

She softly said 'ok' She had no energy to argue with him, her all energy was already drained away.

She grabbed the towel, and went to her room, once again standing in front of the mirror, to observe the bruises all over her body.

She took the concealer from the drawer, to hide her deep, red and purplish marks from her family because she did not want to get in trouble for hurting herself.

Yes, she used to hurt herself. It gave her satisfaction and pleasure in some kind of way. No one ever knew this about y/n, because she was good in Hiding her injuries.

"Ouch! Why does this sting so much?" Y/n hissed at the pain, while applying the concealer.

After hiding all the bruises, y/n brushed her hair and went downstairs to eat dinner with her family.

"What were you doing up there for so long?" My dad asked with concern and curiosity in his voice. "Nothing." I whispered under my breath with zero energy.

The silence was loud for a while, but then mom broke the silence.

"Your eyes and nose look red, did you cry?" The three of them looked at me.

I don't like when people ask about something like this, it triggers me to the core and reminds me of not so memorable things that are happening in my life everyday.

I know they are my parents and they have every right to ask me about my life, but still..i couldn't answer that question.

Parents should understand that not everything can be shared and their kids should have some privacy. If they don't want to bring up some particular topic then it's totally fine, for god's sake, why can't people understand.

"Umm, I did not cried mom, that's make up."

Uh, what a lie. My smart ass thinks my mom won't know that i cried.

"Hmm, okay." My mom nodded at me, pretending to believe at my words.

I finished my food as soon as possible, because i know the longer i stay here, the more questions i get related to my school which i hate.

"Alright, I'm going to complete my assignments. Good night guys!" I said to quickly escape from here.

"Okay! Don't stay awake for too long. Good night." My mom and dad waved at me.

I opened the door of my room widely, just to find my phone ringing on the night stand, i wondered who it must be, calling me this late.

I grabbed my phone from the night stand, and to my nightmare, it was her. The devil in disguise.

"Is the homework completed yet?" Hye Seul asked in a cold yet bold voice.

"Uh- yeah, i was just about to comple-"

"Complete the homework and bring it to school tomorrow, if something like last time happens, then you know the consequences, isn't it bitch?." She said while almost yelling at me.

Without letting me complete my sentance, she hungs up the phone.

This is normal, this is a routine for me. Then why am I being so emotional? Why can't i reply her boldly? Why can't I stand for myself? Why can't I save my self?

My anger and my emotions were mixing like the spices in the food.

I clenched the phone in my hand, not because of Hye Seul, but because of myself.

Tears came flooding in the back of my eyes, tried to control it, but couldn't.

I throwed my phone out of anger, which i regretted few moments laters.

I saw a big scratch on the screen of the Phone. I ignored it and started to complete the assignments.

If i don't complete, I'm going to be a dead meat tomorrow...
