I'LL HEAL YOU || HEESUN

BETRAYAL

As Sunoo's friends approached him with hesitant expressions, he felt a glimmer of hope stir within him. Perhaps, he thought, they had finally come to understand the pain they had caused him.

"I'm sorry, Sunoo," one of them began, their voice tinged with regret. "We didn't mean to hurt you. Can you forgive us?"

Sunoo's heart swelled with relief at the apology, his lips curving into a small smile as he nodded in acceptance. "Of course," he replied softly, his voice filled with forgiveness. "I know you didn't mean it."

But as Sunoo's words hung in the air, a chill swept through the room, and he felt a sinking sensation in the pit of his stomach. Something wasn't right.

Before he could react, his friends erupted into laughter, their mocking taunts echoing off the walls of the cafeteria. Sunoo's heart clenched with disbelief as the realization washed over him—he had been fooled, betrayed by the very people he had trusted.

"What do you expect, Sunoo?" one of them sneered, their voice dripping with contempt. "Oh, I mean, eating disorder boy. Do you really think Heeseung will save you? Don't be naive."

Sunoo's breath caught in his throat as his friends pulled out random foods from their pockets, their faces twisted with malice as they forced him to eat. Two of them grabbed his arms, holding him in place as he struggled against their grip, his panic rising with each passing second.

His trauma reared its ugly head, suffocating him with its grip as memories of past horrors flooded his mind. He felt helpless, trapped in a nightmare from which there was no escape.

Desperate to break free, Sunoo fought against his friends' hold, his voice choked with tears as he pleaded for them to stop. But his cries fell on deaf ears, drowned out by the cruel laughter that echoed around him.

As he choked down the food they forced into his mouth, Sunoo felt a sense of betrayal and despair wash over him, knowing that he had been betrayed by those he had considered friends. And as he struggled to hold back his tears, he vowed that he would never again allow himself to be taken advantage of, his heart hardening with resolve as he prepared to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
