CH 5 : Echoes of abuse

The heart, once pure but now stained with dread,

By words and fists, it has been misled.

A soul once free, now chained in despair,

Longing for love, but met with a glare.

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

Chan entered the class with Minghao trailing behind him as they noticed the teacher still wasn't in the class. They walked toward their bench and sat down on their seats. After some time, the math professor entered the class and started to give them assignments that they had to complete in an hour.

The whole class became silent; the noise of teacher boots and students sighs was the only sound that was echoing throughout the whole classroom.

Chan was just tapping his pen instead of solving them, as math is one of his worst enemies. If math were a human, then it may take first place on Chan's 'Fuck You' list, definitely replacing Choi Soojin.

Minghao noticed Chan as he hit his shoulder with his pen, making Chan look at him with an annoyed face. Minghao ignored the looks that Chan was giving him; instead, he himself gave Chan a look that was clearly indicating: 'Bitch, stop wasting your time on tapping your pen and solve your assignment.'

Chan just showed his tongue to Minghao while rolling his eyes, making Minghao pinch his shoulder gently as both started to focus on their work after getting a warning from their teacher.

One hour had already passed as the teacher started to take every student's paper while snatching some who weren't giving them to her.

Minghao completed his assignment, shaking his head as he saw Chan's question paper being even more white than milk.

After giving their paper to their teacher, Minghao suddenly said,

"Yahhhh, why didn't you do anything?"

"Because I hate math, bruh." Chan said as he squinted his eyes at Minghao.

"Okay, then let's make a deal."

"What?" Chan asked while raising his eyebrow at Minghao in confusion.

"So the deal is, you will let me sit with you, and I will help you with math. What do you say?"

"Fine," Chan said, knowing he really needed help in math because his father would surely kill him if he didn't score well in it.

Minghao smiled at him as he was going to say something, but suddenly someone came into class, interrupting them.

"Yoon Chan, Your father is in the principal's room; they are calling for you."

Chan was just frozen in his seat when he heard his father's name. He knew he would soon be in trouble with his father, but he didn't think it would be that early. He looked at Soonjin's seat as he saw she wasn't there, making him just blankly stare in that way.

"Of course this bitch." He thought as he looked in Minghao's direction with a smile on his face, assuring him that he would be fine.

'"Don't wait for me; I will directly go home." Chan said as he stood up from his seat, picked up his bag, and followed that girl while waving at Minghao.

—----------------

I was standing in front of the principle cabin as that girl excused herself after leaving me in this hell. My heart was pounding, and I felt my own fame trembling. I took a long, deep breath, opened the door slowly with my shaky hands, and peeped inside. The first thing I saw was that bitch crying in front of my father. I saw the principle sitting beside my father while maintaining good distance between them, staring at him in panic, which was clearly showing on his face. You are right; he also fears my father, as money and power speak louder than any words.
