It was Friday evening, and after training Kino had come home, had a shower, turned on Netflix and just chilled. It's been a while since he could have a free evening like this, no homework, no friends to see. It felt nice.

It was so nice in fact that it didn't take long for him to fall asleep in front of the TV, wrapped up in a grey blanket, gently snoring away over the noises at the TV.

It was maybe around 1am where he was awoken by bangs at his front door.

Kino woke up in and instant, but confused, blinking around rapidly to think if he had dreamt the noises.

He blinks some more, turning off the TV and listening out. Nothing. So he stands, making an attempt to move to his bedroom but suddenly more knocks.

Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

They were loud, and honestly way too loud for this time of night. Who the fuck could it be.

"Hello?" Kino calls out, nervously approaching the door. The whole flat was silent, and made the atmosphere that much more eerie.

"Hello, who is it?"

But there is no answer, just more angry loud knocks, that soon become sporadic. Kino doesn't know what to do, but the knocks die down. He thinks about letting it go and going back to his room, but he couldn't help but want to find out. If there was no one there, then he would go. So with a random object he found on his way to the door for protection, he tip-toes over to the door and opens it slowly.

He can't see too well from the sudden intrusion of light from the corridor until a figure suddenly comes into clear view.

"W-Wooseok?" he questions.

With his head hung low, Kino can't see his face, but he waits for a reply that never comes. Instead Wooseok's tall heavy form, falls forward and right into the doorway of Kino's flat.

"Wooseok!" Kino calls out, jumping back just in time to not get squished.

He takes a second to try to figure out what the fuck is happening, but he suddenly realises what Wooseok looked like.

His whole face is beaten, and bloody. His lip is busted, his eyes are even darker than before, he has bruises around his neck, his cheeks, his wrists. Even his shirt is torn, with what looks like cuts to his chest and stomach. Not clean cuts either, not likes one done by a knife, but something more edged, like a broken glass bottle perhaps?

"Wooseok!" Kino calls out in panic, dragging Wooseok's lifeless body into the flat so that he could shut the door. "Wooseok, wake up. Hey, what the fuck happened. Wooseok? Wooseok?"

He gently cups his cheeks, noticing how easily his hands stained with blood. "Oh my god. Wooseok. Wooseok, please. I'm go-gonna call the ambulance okay! Don't move"

As Kino makes an attempt to get up, Wooseok's beat up hand wraps loosely around his wrist, preventing him from doing so.

"Don't call them. Don't" he strains out, managing to open his eyes to look at a very worried Kino. "I-I had nowhere else to go".

Kino's brows furrow in worry, lost as to what to do now. "What the fuck do you want me to do" he asks in a whisper, eyeing over the injured boy

"Just...let me hide here for a moment" he breathes out, "I had no where else to go" he tells him again, knowing it probably wasn't smart to come here but like he said, he didn't know what to do and he had no other person he could go to. Kino was the first that came to mind.

"Wooseok if you're running away from thugs or some-...."

"Don't be stupid" Wooseok groans, attempting to sit up, Kino immediately helps him do that and makes him sit against the wall.
