The tapping of pencils, the flipping of pages, the droning voice of the teacher. It all felt like a timer. School was almost over, and with each minute ticking by, Hyun's anxiety and fear grew stronger. He knew what was coming, they would never miss a day. Especially not if it meant they could torture him to their hearts delight.
His eyes kept flicking back to the clock. The seconds seemed to move faster and faster and the buzzing in his pocket became constant. A heavy reminder of what was coming.

5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1..

The school bell chimes, it sounded like warning. A warning for Hyun to get as far away as possible, to find a hiding place they'd never think of. He rushes out of the classroom and looks around, trying to find a good place to hide. But, being pressed for both time and safety, he is forced to resort to hiding in the bathroom.
Hyun hides in the stall farthest from the door. It wasn't safe and it was most likely one of the first places that they'd check, but, it would keep him hidden for at least a few extra minutes.

The panic in his mind rose with each passing minute. His breath quickens, and every small noise or footstep made his heart drop.
Several minutes pass and the silence had become almost deafening.
He tries to steady his breathing, but as he does, he hears an all too familiar sound from the hallway.
The long and steady scrape of something heavy against the smooth tiled halls.
Faint footsteps could be heard and laughs echoed through the empty hall.

But, for as much as Hyun had panicked just thinking of what was to come. Now that it was here, he felt strangely calm.
He knew what they would do, he knew what to expect. Now all he could do was wait until it was over.

The steps got closer and closer until they were echoing around the bathroom walls. One by one they kicked down every door until his was the only one left. It's kicked down with ease.
Dohun gives Hyun a leering look and with a snap of his fingers, the others around him drag Hyun from the stall.
He was thrown against the ground. The impact caused his head to spin, but, they had just begun. He was kicked and stomped on until he couldn't feel the world around him. Everything was numb.

But, that feeling was soon replaced by waves of pain as Dohun repeatedly hits Hyun with a heavy metal pipe. He had to force down a scream. All that could be heard was the nauseating sound of metal against flesh and the laughs of the people around him. Dohun was relentless and each hit more painful than the last.

"This is what you deserve you fucking freak."

Hyun could feel his eyes closing. The pain was overwhelming.
The last thing he heard before passing out was,

"You'll be lucky if we kill you."
