He wished everyone would just mind their own business, "stop looking at me.." he whispered under his breath and no one except for the man next to him had heard it. The man next to him look wealthy, very wealthy, he was dressed head to toe in designer brands and watches and had an expensive cologne scent on him.

 Lu Yue knew this scent, he couldn't quite put his head on what this scent was but it smelled very familiar like the smell of a hotel. He stole a quick glance at the rich man next to him but his eyes widened as he recognized his face, it was a man that their family group, the Lu group, had once done a partnership with.
The heir of the Deng group, Deng Huan, was popular among his age group of entrepreneurs but not for any good traits. Lu Yue would be surprised if this man even had any good traits, Deng Huan was only popular because he was feared due to his history of being a bully from middle school to college and his reputation of fighting and being ruthless. In high school Lu Yue and Deng Huan were good friends, but one day Deng Huan took his bullying too far onto an innocent girl who was just passing by.

 To say the least what he did was unspeakable, at most it was Harassments in the most indecent form. This incident made Lu Yue speak out on the matter and ever since that day that haven't spoken on good terms. It was just his luck that he had run into him today of all days where he looked as if poverty had shaken him to the ground. Lu Yue put his head down desperately to cover his face but not make it obvious that he was trying to hide himself, this did not go unseen by the man. for a second Deng Huan didn't recognize the man for a second, readjusting his eyes he realized who was in a shabby state in front of him.

 "My, my.. are my eyes deceiving me or is that the second son of the renowned Lu Group? What ever are you doing in those uncivilized rags?" the wealthy man snarled. "Ah! Yes it is me! apologies I almost jumped out from my "uncivilized rags" thinking you were a pig covered in gold!" Lu Yue hissed back. This certainty ticked Deng Huan off and Lu Yue knew this from the mild shade of rage smeared on the other mans face that soon subsided. a small smirk emerged from Deng Huan's face, "Did your father finally decided to empty the trash plaguing his home? Or have you just thought it was a good idea to infect the streets with your horrifying face?," Lu Yue's playful face hadn't dropped from this because he knew this would make Deng Huan happier, despite his blood boiling hot he kept his normal demeanor.

 Just as he was about to shoot back another insult another familiar face interrupted their conversation. "Lu Yue...?" this voice sounded confused, hurt almost, Lu Yue knew who this voice was but froze in the moment not wanting to face the tall man. "It.. it is you.. where have you been? we've been trying to reach you for the past few days." Hearing these words Lu Yue slowly turned his head up facing a guilty looking Yu Ming, he looks back down after stealing a glance. After a few minutes of shameful silence they were interrupted by a loud yelling in the streets "Yu Ming! Where are you!" a few voices echoed from the street across. 

Lu Yue knew these voices, they were the other members, he didn't know if they were looking for him or what they would do if they found him but he knew one thing and one thing only, he needed to run. Panic filled his eyes as he stood up from the bus bench, Yu Ming looked confused for a second then realized that he was about to dash off again without a word. quickly he grabbed his hand with his non-injured hand and held onto it tightly. 

A wide-eyed LV stared back at Yu Ming as he tried to shake his hand off but had no strength to do so. Deng Huan was still sitting next to them in silence, correction, silently judging waiting for the right moment to either leave or fuel the fire and at this moment he found his chance. "Hah! This is what you've succumbed to? Running away?! What drugs did you feed this man for him to chase after you? If it were me I'd jump into the sea rather than live like a poor coward!" Deng Huan snickered.

 Despite the face that spoke these cruel words Lu Yue couldn't say that he didn't see any truth in them. But it was the fact that he had long ago made peace that he was a coward that only solves his problems by running away. At this moment he felt like he had lived this moment in time before, his ears sang a high pitched opera blanking out the world around him...

 FLASHBACK__ (3rd person POV)
 back when Lu Yue and Lu Sicheng were younger they lived by strict rules; no laughing, don't be loud, don't interrupt meetings, don't be a nuisance, no candy, no crying, and definitely don't talk to the adults that look important. Lu Sicheng was always the better role model who stuck to the rules without complaints while Lu Yue was the kid who broke every rule at least twice a day. This means he would get punished quite a lot, and sometimes the punishments were more "unusual" and strict.
The technical term would be abuse but to the Lu family it was discipline so that the children would be less of a nuisance and more obedient. This never really mattered much to the younger brunette because he knew one thing since he was born, "no matter what you do, you're always in the wrong, so don't try to be something you're not." these words were once spoken by a wise man in an important business suit, he was kind in his own way, he never hit Lu Yue or locked him in closets for days without food.
But when he was caught talking to Lu Yue he never showed up to the building ever again and Lu Yue could only remember the last time the rich car drove out from the buildings parking lot into the big main street never to be seen again. He remembers chasing out to the car in the big street, not long after he rested at a bus bench with a wealthy looking man sitting next to him, he could hear the echoes calling out for him name and was dragged by people who felt no remorse for the punishment that was going to be inflicted onto him.
END OF FLASHBACK__ 

The Only thing he could still remember of that night was the shrill screams that he pleaded for hours, begging for someone to take pity on him and put him out of his misery. His mind suddenly snapped back into reality and was met with the situation at hand. He had to make a decision, the group of angry gamers were quickly approaching, his unrequited lover was holding him in desperation, the person he least expected to see and also dreaded the most was directly in front of him sneering at his situation.

He could've run again, he had every right to run for as long as he wanted. But he chose to stay, he chose to stay not only because he hadn't had the energy to mood a limb but he was also tired of running and for the first time in his life since the age of six, he wanted to try to solve his own problems.
