Thursday.

Today was the day I went back to hell.

It was okay at the beginning.

I was actually able to pay attention for once.

I didn't feign focus like I normally do.


Being able to understand what I haven't be able to for months was relieving.


I felt like me again.


I could talk to the others and actually engage, not just communicate.


I felt like it was safe to say that today was one of my best school days.













Well...













Kind of.













While I was in math with changbin, hyun, and jisung, a girl came in and asked for me.


She said that the principal was looking for me.


Obviously I went with her.


I assumed he just wanted me to give him an update on things.




Oh how wrong I was.




I followed her until I got suspicious, I didn't recognize our path as the one to the office.




I remember going up to her to ask what happened when I was suddenly shoved to the lockers.


I heard the girl squeal and run away.


It would've made me laugh if I wasn't so paralyzed by my fear.





Dohyun.





He leaned into my ear and whispered, he sounded manic.


I hated it.


"Getting better doesn't mean you're escaping us anytime soon."


Then I felt the familiar pressure of his fist meeting my face.


Was this really how I wanted my day to end?


It was so pathetic that all I could do in that moment was freeze up.


Why couldn't I have done something.



I could've proved to him that he was wrong.


Just this once he was wrong, because I would escape from him.


I recall having tears in my eyes, ready to spill at the slightest touch.


My face hurt like hell.


But I knew that the real torture was coming after.
