Jisung woke up like per usual, closing his alarm on his phone. Normally, he would lie in for an extra 20 minutes, but the sun that was peeking through the curtains were blinding him, so he couldn't.

Slowly getting up, he did his bed and started to get dressed.

Great. Test week.

Jisung groggily trunched towards the bathroom while rubbing his left eye. He hadn't revised for anything.

He picked up his toothbrush, and applied some toothpaste. Before he could put it into his mouth, the toothpaste fell onto his shirt and slowly dropped onto the floor.
The day had only just started, and things were going horrible.

He sighed, and went to get changed again.

"Hurry up! Breakfast's ready!" Jisung's mum shouted.

She was the strict type, but Jisung still loved her. After all, she was the one who gave birth to him.

Rolling his eyes, Jisung walked down the stairs and towards the kitchen. He could smell his favorite, bacon and eggs.

"Took you long enough! So.... How you feeling? Ready for your exams? " his mum said. "Oh and also, don't forget this, " she added, passing him his lunchbox.

"Oh, I'm good, I guess, maybe a little nervous, but I should be ok. " jisung replied, grabbing his lunch box while digging into his food.

After Jisung finished, he unlocked the door and stepped onto his front yard.

"Bye mum! " he shouted, making sure that she could hear him.

"Do well on your tests! Good luck! " his mum shouted back, giving him a thumbs up gesture from the window.

Jisung smiled, and started to walk to school. He walked through the quiet neighbourhood, in the summer breeze, taking pictures of anything he found pretty and picking up blossoms that had fallen from the trees above.

Jisung would always walk with his best friend, Hyunjin, since they lived relatively close to each other.

Opening the gate to the familiar house, number 38, he rapped his knuckles 3 times on the door.

Hyunjin opened it and gave a big hug to Jisung.

Jisung gladly hugged back as he had missed Hyunjin's warmth.

"Gee, you dyed your hair again? " Jisung asked, looking at the older's red head.

"Yeah, you like it? " Hyunjin replied, fluffing it out of his face because it was so long.

"Yeah, maybe it's my time to dye mine as well, " Jisung laughed.

"I feel like blue would definitely suit you, it would look so hot. " Hyunjin said, smirking like a maniac.

"Oh, stop it~" Jisung replied, blushing while slapping Hyunjin's arm.

Hyunjin laughed loudly as the 2 set off. After a good 10 minutes or so, they passed their neighbour, Mr Lee.

"Mornin'! How you doing Mr. Lee? " Jisung asked politely, putting on his soft voice while smiling.

"Oh, hello you two! I'm feeling rather good this morning, how about you?" Mr. Lee replied, looking up from his book.

Mr. Lee would go out at exactly 7:30 every morning to sit on his chair in the front garden to read. He would go out most of the time, unless of course it was raining.

"Yeah, I'm good, we've got exams this week actually, and-" Jisung managed to say, until Hyunjin interrupted.

"Do you like my hair Mr. Lee? Dyed it myself. " Hyunjin said smugly, with his arms on his hips, while jisung gave him a side eye.

"Well, I wouldn't really be surprised, knowing that you dye your hair nearly every day, but it certainly suits you, young man. " Mr Lee replied, chuckling to himself.

Hyunjin looked away in embarrassment, as Jisung laughed and slapped hyunjin's arm again.

"Karma comes fast bitch. " jisung whispered, quite loudly. Mr Lee noticed what he had said, so he put down his book again.

"Excuse me! Language! Now, you two should be going now, I don't want to make you late! " Mr Lee said, as he picked up his book again. "Also, best of luck on those tests. "

"Thank you, we'll get going now, " Jisung replied. As they bid their goodbyes, someone unknown from Mr. Lee's window was glancing at Jisung. But of course jisung didn't notice, did he?

-------------------------------

"How many times do I have to tell you to stay in your fucking room?!? " Mr. Lee shouted at Minho, throwing down his book as he slammed the front door shut.

Minho was used to his abusive father, but it was still a shock to him how aggressively he would slam the door.

Minho flinched as his father's saliva landed on his cheek. He quickly rubbed it off as his father took a couple steps closer to him.

"Listen, if you are the reason we get caught, im going to fucking kill you.The only reason that you are alive is so that I can use you for my crimes. You're lucky, you know that? I gave you a house to live in and food to eat, and yet you still don't listen to my FUCKING rules!!" Minho's father said, taking out a small dagger from his pocket.

He aimed it at Minho's neck while holding his collar.

Minho often saw this particular dagger, maybe because it was the one his father used to kill his mother.

Oh, how Minho wished she was here right now. But all he could remember when he thought of her was her lifeless body on the hospital bed, with the straight line beeping on the monitor. He was surprised his father even managed to escape jail.

Before he knew it, Minho was crying.

Minho was so used to crying by now, he wouldn't even realize that there were tears rolling down his cheeks.

Even so, today seemed like the worst day to be crying, especially since his dad was shouting at him.

"What? And now you're crying? Fucking bitch, stop being a little fucking baby and go the fuck upstairs. You're such a disappointment." His father spat at his face, and he sat down on the worn- out sofa and turned on the TV.

Minho quietly obeyed, not wanting to get screamed at again.

As soon as the bedroom door closed, Minho threw himself onto his bed and let all his tears fall down. It seemed like it would never stop.

Why was he the one to experience such pain?

What had he done to deserve this?

When could this suffering be over?

Questions swirled Minho's head like a tornado in a storm as he threw his pillow onto the floor.

He got up from his now-wet bed and sat by his desk.

He didn't know what to do.
Would he just accept the fact that he has an abusive father?

No, he had to do something. He was not going to suffer anymore.

But what would that be?

Suddenly, Minho thought of an idea.
