I ended up at the stairs of some random store. My face tucked between my knees as I think about the things that abuser said to me. I can't stop crying no matter how hard I try. I didn't ask to be born different, i didn't ask to be left here as a kid! Why can't I just be accepted as I am?!
"Iris?" A soft and deep voice calls out to me. I pull my head out of my knees,looking up. It's... the TA? "Why are you sitting here alone?" He bends down on his knees so he's eye-level with me. "Did you drink a lot?" I don't respond at first. "Do you remember me?" He ask. "Mhm your the TA." I mumbled. I'm to tried to get up so I raise my arm up to him. "Could you maybe help me up please?" I beg slightly. He seems surprised but doesn't say no. He grabs my arms and pulls me till I'm stand. When I'm stable enough to stand on my own he starts talking again. "Did the party end already?" "No....." I stare at my feet, my eyes dull. "Did...something happen?" The question makes me think back to Chan-woo and what he said and I start to tear up again. If the TA notices he doesn't say anything. He pulls a water out his bag and hands it to me. I take it reluctantly but don't drink it. A simple "thank you" is all that leaves my mouth
"Iris." I hear from behind. I don't need to turn around to know it was Kyung-seok. "I'm heading home." I tell him and start walking away. "Alright let's go." He grabs my arms softly and pulls me with him. The TA grabs Kyung-seoks arm. "Where do you think your going?" He ask gripping Kyung-seok's arm tightly. "Mind your own business." He says. "What are you doing with her? I don't get it." He looks at me than back at the taller male. "What are you trying to do with a girl who's drunk?" Kyung-seok accuses. The TA's smile drops at that. "What on earth are you thinking? Your the one trying to take her. I don't know how close you are to her, but this can be considered violence." The TA states. Kyung-seok starts pulling me again but the TA doesn't let go. "It's okay, he's...he's my friend." I say to the TA. He lets go after that and Kyung-seok is finally able to pull me with him.
"Do you even know where my house is?" I ask kyung-seok. He doesn't respond. "Heyyyy, don't ignore me!" I snatch my arm from his hand and stop walking. "Helloooo? I should've just went all my own if were going to ignore me." I complained. He turns around swiftly and grab my shoulders. "What do you want me to do hm?" I sober up instantly. "What." He scoffs and grabs my arms, "exactly, don't start stuff you can't end." He grabs my hand again and we continue walking. "Dummy." I mumble. He stops again causing me to knock into his back. "Ouch!" "We're here." He says. He points to the long stair way and looks down at me. "Think you can walk up there without falling?" I roll my eyes. Still the same "Of course I can." I say and start running up the stairs like the drunken idiot I am. Kyung-seok watched me from the floor. A small smile forming on his face. Cute....

The walk to the campus was painful to say the least. It felt like everyone was staring at me. I know I stood out because of the way I look but I feel like more people were whispering about me. Like I'm completely isolated from everyone else. I hate it...
