Xie turned the shower off. Stepping out soullessly. She looked down to where she kept her gym wear and uniform, the spot being empty. She looked away as she began to walk.

Her head low, her mind empty of thoughts, just her feet moving. She walked out of the shower room, walking down the hallway.

*Ring Ring*

The lunch bell went off, with out time, students stormed out of their classrooms. Gasps were heard as Xie slowly walked down the hallway naked.

Buzzes went off on everyone's phone. Clicking the link they got from an anonymous number, the video Chaeun made popped up.

"Is she crazy?!"

"Yah you're naked!"

"Someone should cover her up! Is she mad?!"

"Wahh a free show like this in school? Awesome!"

"Yah! yah! Make sure you video this from that angle!"

"What's up with her bruises? What the fuck?"

Xie kept hearing voices as she walked. She felt nothing. It was like her soul was empty. She saw Chaeun smirking at her at the end of the hallway.
Chaeun winked at her as she smiled more.

"My clothes.. where are they?" She croaked out, looking at Chaeun. Chaeun chuckled, shrugging as she walked out.

Xie stared at the spot Chaeun previously stood. She could still hear the students talk about her but it was like her mind didn't receive their words.

Ji Han rubbed his neck, walking out of his class.
He could hear the loud chatters coming from the hallway. He turned his head and saw students hovered. His brows furrowed.

"What drama is it today?" He muttered and sighed and he walked towards them. His steps slowed, freezing in his spot when he saw Xie.

His eyes slowly widened as he looked down her body. "X-Xie.. Xie!" He yelled, scurrying to her as he hastily unbuttoned his shirt.

He quickly covered her with his shirt. Wrapping his arms over her body. "Get out of my way! Move out!"
He yelled, harshly pushing the students that blocked his way.

He quickly walked back into his class with Xie, locking the door and closing the windows.
He turned back gulping. He looked at Xie who just stared at the floor.

"Xie.. what happened? Why-..why are you like this?"
He asked and got no response from Xie. He turned and moved to his locker, opening it, he took out his gym wear.

He walked back to her, looking in another direction he stretched out his hand. "Change into this"
He said. Seconds later he felt Xie take the gym wear out of his hand.

"Thank you.." Xie muttered and dropped his shirt as she began to change into his gym wear.

Xie looked back up and saw Ji Han looking into nowhere. "I'm done" She said and Ji Han slowly turned. He cleared his throat when he saw she had changed.

He walked to her, gently holding her hands.
"Xie.. what's going on?" He whispered, his brows raising in worry and confusion. Xie looked down not saying anything for sometime.

"Ji Han... I'm hungry" She muttered and looked at him.

Ji Han didn't say anything as he looked at her. His eyes tracing her dark circles, down to her sunken cheeks, to her dry lips.

He had once witnessed her throwing up her food just after eating. He had monitored her since then, only to find out it had become a habit of hers.

It broke him that he knew about it and couldn't think of anything to do to help her out.

His hand slowly made it's way to her head as he softly rubbed her hair. "What do you want to eat?"
He quietly asked, putting a small smile on his face.

"Whatever.." Xie muttered. Ji Han sighed looking at her. He sighed yet again as he gently brought her in for a hug. His hand softly rubbing her back.

"I'm here Xie. I'm always here" He muttered.

Ji Han watched as Xie's driver drove out. He sighed, putting his hands into his pockets as he turned, going back into the school building.

He sat on the school stairs, his hands fisting his hair as he looked down. He looked back up sighing.

He took out his phone, looking at the time.
"5:34pm" He sighed. Just as he was about to turn his phone off, he saw a message.

Clicking on it, he looked at the link an anonymous number sent to him. He clicked the link and the video of Xie in the shower popped up.

His eyes widened as he unconsciously stood up, watching the video. He could hear the laughter coming from the girls that videoed her.

'Yah Xie. Smile'

His frown deepened as he recognized the voice. He gritted his teeth, pausing the video as he put his phone in his pocket.

He turned angrily as he stormed up the stairs.
Hitting students as he walked. He banged the door to Xie's class open. Chaeun and Taejin flinched when the door banged open.

"Yah! Why didn't you lock the door?" Chaeun yelled at Taejin as she sat up. Taejin gritted his teeth and looked at Ji Han. "What the fuck man—

He didn't finish his words as Ji Han swung his fist at him making him fall to the ground. Chaeun screamed in horror when she saw how hard Ji Han had hit Taejin.

Her eyes widened when she saw Ji Han walking towards her. "W-Wha- What are you doing–argh!"
She yelled when Ji Han gripped her hair.

"I warned you didn't I? Leave Xie alone" Ji Han said, gritting his teeth as he tried to contain his anger.
Chaeun groaned and chuckled. "That bitch? That slut deserves to die. I'll fucking kill her—

Ji Han gritted his teeth as he pushed her head, banging it against the wall. He panted, letting go of her hair.

He looked at Chaeun whose hands shook as they touched her bleeding nose. Her eyes widening when she saw her fingers stained with her blood.

"I fucking warned you."
