Slowly , I managed to open my eyes , not really remembering what had happend after blacking out.

"Ughh..." i groaned as I felt my face aching in pain.

'Shit my nose is broken..'

"Y/n?! You're awake? Are you alright?" Someone kept bombarding me with questions as I turned around , meeting eyes with a worried and teary eyed Daniel.

I quickly got back up with the help of Daniel and was met with Zack puching Zeus , with a broken arm.

Zeus face was now bashed and bloody , his face is barely even recognizable anymore.

Looking at Zeus's current state made me realise something that i had never ever been ablebto face against.

It is that even those who had once taken advantage over you or overpowered you. They're still human beings , capable of getting hurt. They were never invincible from the start.

I just perceived they were , cause I was scared.

There was no need to be afraid , scared. I wasn't worthless nor was I unable to do anything.

"I'm not scared..." I muttered softly , suprised that I was capable of feeling like this.

I tried to stand up but Daniel kept begging me to stay back and rest. Obviously , I couldnt listen now , not when I finnaly had the courage to stand.

Plus , I couldnt always rely on them right? If I have the power to fight , I shouldn't depend on others because I'm scared.

I brushed him off slowly away and walked closer to Zeus who was lying down on the ground. A weird feeling surging all over me.

It was the same sensation I felt back then. It was hot , boiling , excitement?

Zeus only looked back at me in shock , wondering how I wasn't shivering and cowering over him.

Zack who was once beating him up was now also looking at me , shock that I was awake.

I looked down at Zeus who's now bloodied up , I spoke "I told you I'll get you back.."

I still wonder how he was able to speak after getting beaten up like that , ah right he's a narcissist.

"Y-you were suppose to be scared!"

"Im no longer scared...I'm brave now?" I replied and immediately cringed after my cringey dialogue.

'What was I thinking?'

The next thing I know , my fist was sent flying as I punched him straight in the face.

Crack!

"Thats for breaking my nose you son of a bitch." I spat back at his face , while the other two in the room were shocked by my sudden change of attitude.

In fact , I'm not even shocked by my own actions , I felt proud. Its like turning over a new leaf , this is the real me.

Im not a coward , I'm outgoing. I'm loved now?

"Hahahah" A small chuckle escaped my lips.

But then the chuckle grew, bubbling up from somewhere deep inside. I remembered all those times I had held back, covering up who I was, afraid of being hurt.

I had spent so long thinking I was weak, a coward, someone to be pitied or avoided. But here I was, thriving, surrounded by friends who loved me for who I really was.

The chuckle turned into a giggle, and the giggle into a full-blown laugh. Feeling the laughter shake through me, cleansing me.

After a few minutes of realisation , the police arrived , arresting Zeus who the girls still somehow were able to swoon over. On the other hand , Won Bin was happy that he saved us , while I'm just here sitting in the back of an ambulance with zack and Daniel.
