"Hey, Felix?" Yeon asked one day as the two played Scrabble in his room. 

Felix hummed in response. "Yeah?"

"What would you do if one day I just disappeared?" She asked, placing her final word down on the board. D-E-A-T-H.

Felix looked up from the board in alarm. "What— why are you asking? You're not going to—"

"Chill, I'm not," Yeona lied to his face. She couldn't let him know. "Just, out of curiosity, you know?"

Felix still looked suspicious of her as he said, "Yeah, I mean, I guess so... I think I would cry. I would cry a lot. You're like my best friend." And someone I love, he added in his head. I think I love you. 

He never told her that; he was simply too scared that she would think of him as a creep and run away. Little did he know, maybe if she had heard those words from him, she wouldn't have tried to jump off the school's roof a few days later. 

She hadn't attempted to jump off unprovoked that day, either. Earlier that day, the mean girls had cornered her in the girls' bathroom after school. It had been raining hard that day, and Felix told her that he would wait for her so they could walk home together. 

"Looks like Little-Miss-Felix's-Favorite might need to be taught a lesson today, don't you think, girls?"

The girls behind her chorused in "yeah"s and "for real"s. 

Yeona slowly tried to back away, praying to the Gods that the girls wouldn't hurt her. Sadly, however, the Gods weren't on her side today. 

One of the girls shoved her on the ground forcefully, kicking her sides. Yeona felt tears leaking out of her eyes and she felt a scream building up in her throat, but she refused to give them the satisfaction of hurting her. 

"Strip her," the main girl had ordered before two of her sidekicks rushed to Yeona, almost literally ripping the shirt off Yeona's body. Yeona finally let a scream loose as one of the girls beat her up while the other slid off her pants. What Yeona hadn't realized was that the leader of the mean girls was recording this while she laughed behind the camera. 

"Should we take off her bra, too?" One of the girls timidly asked, to which the leader nodded. 

"Duh, bitch." 

Yeona screamed again as she tried to fight against the girls who stripped her naked and beat her up. It was no use; she was severely overpowered. Once she was left naked, shivering, and bruised on the bathroom floor, she finally noticed the camera in the leader's hands and her eyes widened in horror. 

The girl gave her a wicked smile. "I'll show this to Felix, and once he sees how useless you are, he'll finally stop hanging out with you!" 

After kicking her a few more times and soaking her clothes in cold water, the gaggle of girls finally left, leaving poor Yeona to deal with her shame on her own. The girl sobbed, curling up her stripped body into a ball as she fought with her mind. 

What if he doesn't want to be friends with you anymore?

Why would he? You're pathetic.

He's better off without you. 

You should just fucking die.

And that was when Yeona made up her mind. 

She was done with life. 

And she was ready to end it.
