"Aaand... Checkmate."
You say as you move the queen to the 8th rank.

Hyein looks up from the board and stares at you in shock, "What? How!?" She exclaims, looking at the chessboard one more time. You shrug your shoulders and offer her a handshake like they do in professional games.

She looks at your hand but instead of shaking it, Hyein slaps it away. "Teach me how to play chess properly first, then I'll accept your handshake."

You nod, "Sure, maybe in the future." Grinning as you place the chess pieces back to their original squares. Hyein smiles and places her pieces back aswell.

You and your sister had a great time during this moment. Playing chess, hanging out, and spending time with each other was all you really needed at this time.

PRESENT

Y/N lays on the ground, clutching his stomach due to the pain caused by Jeongin's aggressive kicking

Y/N lays on the ground, clutching his stomach due to the pain caused by Jeongin's aggressive kicking.

He continues to kick Y/N's body constantly but gets interrupted by someone.

"Hey man, stop!" Jeongin's friend, Han, pulls Jeongin back.

He spits out his gum onto Y/N and pushes Han away. Han lightly grunts and adjusts his varsity jacket. 'You know we can't kill anyone.' Han mumbles as he looks at Y/N.

Y/N takes a peek on what was going on around him, still clutching onto his stomach. As he saw Han, he became even more frightened.

He gets up carefully with one of his hands supporting him. Jeongin and Han stare at Y/N and they both smirk sheepishly.

"Just kill me. Please."

Y/N whispered out, his cut-open lip quivering. Jeongin chuckles and crouches down, grabbing a brick from the ground. He then shows it to Y/N, trying to threaten him. Y/N doesn't show any reaction to this as he is ready for what is about to happen.

Jeongin stands up and cocks the brick as if he was about to throw a baseball. Y/N sees this and wipes his bleeding lip before he throws it. He closes his eyes and waits for the hard-heavy brick to hit his head.

......

BANG!

......

A brick being thrown right beside Y/N makes him flinch and surprised. Surprised as to why Jeongin didn't throw the brick at him. Y/N opens his eyes and sees that the two are nowhere to be seen.

He breaks down and falls harshly to the ground, immediately starting to cry his heart out.

Y/N felt desperate, in need of serious help. He knew he couldn't help himself. He knew his family couldn't help him. He knew nobody could help him.

This was the end.

He felt his blurred-out eyes getting heavy and started to lose track of what was happening. Y/N's hand slowly drops to his side from his stomach. Then finally, his limp body thumps onto the ground, losing all consciousness.

This is what he wanted, to finally be free from all his troubles and pain.

"Wake up! Y/N! Wake up!"

Hyein screams as she sees your closed eyes creating a waterfall of it's own.

You wake up and heave into your deep, heavy, constant gasping breaths. Feeling so relieved to be able to breathe once again. You felt your entire body shaking, from a hot temperature, to an icy cold one.

"T-That felt so real.. they were right here, beating me up."

More tears start to form in your eyes and blur your eyesight. Hyein sniffles and takes you into a deep, big hug.

"There's no one here, I promise. It's just me. " She responds.

You rest your head on Hyein's shoulder and closed your eyes. She feels your tears dropping onto her t-shirt, making it wet.

"I-I don't wanna be here anymore, Hyein." You mumbled but you know that she clearly heard what you said.

She places her hands on both your shoulders and releases from the hug. "Don't say that! If you're gone, who would take care of me? I know I'm not old enough to support myself!" Hyein exclaims with tears running down her face.

You chuckled lightly at her sarcastic statement. She sees you and laughs out loud, wiping her tears away.

You grab her soft-milky hand and rub your thumb against her knuckles,"I'm sorry, I overreacted. You shouldn't have witnessed me like that."

She looks down at your hands and nod, "No, you're a human too. You can react however you want." Hyein says as she looks back up to your eyes.

ONE DAY LATER..

You place your books and pencil case inside your bag, hanging it off your left shoulder afterwards

You place your books and pencil case inside your bag, hanging it off your left shoulder afterwards.

The school bell just rang a few minutes ago and your last class was just dismissed.

Of course, the professor was strict about everyone understanding the lesson.

He was teaching Math, one of the most tiring and stressful subjects in the world. Everyone can agree!

As you were the last to leave the class, you walk up to the attendance sheet on the teachers table. Writing your dismissal time with a pencil.

After writing, you place the pencil down and adjust your backpack as it was about to fall.

You take a deep breath and exited the room, closing the lights before.

The hall was filled with students chit-chatting everywhere, making you sigh heavily.

'Why can't everyone just be quiet for once.' You mumble to yourself.

You look down and shake your head as you prepare to go to your sister's class, picking her up.

As you started to walk, you immediately get pushed harshly by someone random, making you fall down and grunt lightly.

You support yourself with your hands placed on the cold cement. Also noticing that your head almost hit the edge of the staircase, almost killing you.

Your eyes widen, looking at the staircase. The halls went from everyone talking loudly, to whispering.

You look to as who pushed you and immediately frowned your eyebrows as you saw who it was.

Jeongin and Han.
