Dambi's pov

I couldn't ignore it, the feeling was too overwhelming. I felt disgusting. The tears rolled down my cheeks as Cheonsa ran with me to the bus stop.

"Do you wanna tell me and Bora now or when we get to your place?" She asked softly, being careful around me as I was breaking down. I could see the hurt in her eyes and she gently side hugged me as we waited on Bora.

"At my place" I croaked out and she immediately hugged me tightly. It felt safe in her arms, she always made me feel protected from this cruel world. Bora came jogging down to us with a love struck grin. It almost made me forget what I was feeling. "What happened while we were gone, huh?" I attempted to sound teasing but she just gave me a stern look and squeezed me in a hug.

"That can always wait when it comes to you, hun" she said. I sniffled and tears continued to fall. The bus arrived and the girls ushered me in and towards the back to shield me.

When we arrived at my family's apartment I looked around and saw my grandparents sleeping soundly in the living room, the TV still playing some crap television show but it felt safe having someone at home. Plus when my grandpa woke up he could beat the living shit out of the person who did this to me, his cane may have the paint peeling and rusting but it still is pretty solid. I dragged the girls to my room and sat down on my bed as I tried controlling my tears and hiccups.

"Take your time, sweet girl. No one will rush you through this" Cheonsa said as she sat to my right and laid my head on her shoulder.

"When I was walking home from basketball practice, I felt as if I was followed so I turned around to look. And as I expected I saw a student from our school was stalking me to the bus stop" I stopped to breathe a bit and I saw their worried faces. "Then I heard running behind me and then he placed a hand over my mouth and dragged me into that creepy ally by the convenience store on campus grounds. He started kissing me and making hickeys, he tried to undress me and touched me all over. Then someone was walking by and he stopped and ran away" I whispered in shame as I cried harder as I showed the hickeys and bruises on my neck and stomach. I looked up after a while since they were so quiet and I saw them both crying.

"I didn't call anyone or tell my parents because I was ashamed and embarrassed about how I just let it happen, and I know that's wrong but-" Cheonsa quickly cut me off.

"Don't you ever think that way, it was never and will never be your fault. And I want you to know that you could tell us anything, nothing is too embarrassing or shameful to tell us" she said and she was shaking with anger as tears rolled down her cheeks. Bora just nodded and wiped her tears.

"Do you remember what he looked like? We need to catch him for this" Bora stated and I just nodded. "Good, now you just lay here and rest while I file a report to the school, and Chilly?"

"I'll call your parents and your siblings" I just nodded and clung to them both, the headache from crying crept in and I felt my eyelids grow heavy. Cheonsa lied me down on the bed and tucked me in.

"Hi, uncle Jitae, you need to come home now. Something horrible happened to Dambi the other night and she just told us. She's hurt physically and it's serious and it requires an police report" she said and I could hear my fathers frantic questions on the line. "Ten minutes? Great, we will tell you everything once you get here" she hung up and did the same song and dance to my mother and siblings.
