His father paced around restlessly, making his son sink back into the couch to hide himself. "You fucking stupid child! Can't you for once give a good impression?" His father growled, frustratedly throwing a glass at the wall. Due to the intense power, the glass shattered, the small shards scattering around the floor

"Everyone's gonna know what a freak of a son I have now, are you happy to embarrass me?" Hyunjin cried silently, his expression neutral as the tears flew down his face like a waterfall. He wrapped his arms around himself to feel smaller, not letting his gaze meet his father's.

Jinsoo breathed heavily, glaring at his son for a moment before walking towards his room. He slams the door shut, and Hyunjin shoves his face in his arms that were on his knees. He tries to catch his breath, not wanting to go into a state of panic. He shuts his eyes tightly, focusing on the sound of the small water droplets dripping from the sink.

He eventually gathers himself up and goes to his room. That night was one of the many nights he lacked sleep, relentless nights he tolerated due to his father's mentally abusive nature, which could also turn physical at times.

He lets out a shaky breath, sniffling then cuddling his blanket for comfort.

Felix laughs manically as the shaving cream spreads all over Minho's, giving him an amused look. A stark contrast to the hard glare the older was giving him. "Come on~! You needed a shave anyways." Felix holds back a snort as Minho touches his nose to gather some shaving cream, smearing it harshly against the freckled boy's cheek. "Hey! Am I the asshole for not wanting your beard overgrow, oldie?"

Minho shot him a look, tackling him off the bed an onto the floor with one swift move. "You're digging your own grave, you chicken."

"I'd rather be meat, chicken is too sweet." Minho fake laughs, narrowing his eyes at the youngers stupidness.

"Fuck you, idiot."

"Chan wouldn't let you." He mocks, regretting it once he's roughly hit by a pillow. "Ouch! What's that for?"

"Just you got a cheap boyfriend doesn't mean I'm scared of him. " Minho was just saying that since Felix was the only one who befriended him despite his tough exterior. Him getting with Chan just didn't sit right with him. Minho would never admit it, but Felix is the only person he considers a bestfriend.

"He's nice! You just have bad impressions." Felix easily pushes Minho away. "Do you wanna watch Frozen?" Felix asks seriously to drift the conversation.

Minho stares at him with the same serious look (which Felix almost wheezed at due to the shaving cream), ready to rewatch the movie for the nth time. "Let's do it."

Jisung jumps on top of Seungmin, giggling mischievously as the boy groans. "Get off of me or I'm ripping all your postcards." Jisung rolls his eyes, sliding off the boy.

"You're so boring man. When are the assholes gonna arrive?" The boy asks as he stuffs his mouth with a granola bar since he didn't have breakfast at home, referring to Felix and Minho. Chan shrugs.

"Felix texted me they stayed up late last night." He turns his gaze to the entrance of the school as Felix bursts in dramatically, Minho casually walking behind him.

"Hans sucks!" Jisung looks at him in offence. "Not you, dumbass. Prince Hans."

Chan gently wraps his arms around Felix, hugging him from behind which receives a giggle from the younger. Minho shoots Chan a look before uninterestedly going on his phone.

Seungmin blinks. "You guys are dating?"

Jisung almost chokes on laughter. Felix pats his back. "Yes, Seungmin. For about a month now."

"Damn." Is all they recieve as a response before he looks back at his phone. Jisung was still laughing before the bell previewing the start of the first class rings. His face drops almost immediately in a comical way.

---------

Hyunjin rushes to his first class before the bell even rings, wanting to get there early so no one has the chance to try and pick on him. He smiles softly as he reaches his desk, sinking down on the chair almost immediately.

A girl enters the classroom and Hyunjin averts his gaze, knowing very well her intentions since day one. She sits next to him, her face flushed as she begins her millionth try of getting the pretty boy to talk to her.

"So~, did you know they opened a language program yesterday?" Hyunjin nods slightly, trying not to be rude. She giggles. "I knew you'd pick sign language, so I picked it too! Aren't I so observant?"

Hyunjin nervously darts his gaze, not wanting to be stuck with her in the place where he felt most comfortable. As the teacher enters the room and instructs all students to go back to their seats, the tall boy sighs quietly in relief.

She blows him a kiss which cause him to shift uncomfortably, then gets up and walks to her little group.

Hyunjin nuzzles his face into his arms, a habit he does all the time. He already studied all the chapters prior and didn't need to focus that much so he drifted into a quick nap.

A while later the bell rings signalling the next class, and he leans backward, stretching his limbs. He gets up and takes his books with him heading to his locker.

As he walks, a foot trips him down which causes his books to fall on the ground. He lands on his palms, which was a very stupid move of him that caused pain throughout his body. He looks up, finding the infamous culprit hovering over him.

Byunsoo grins, kicking the boy carelessly in the shin. "Why don't you speak up? Fight for your right a little, idiot."

Nearby, Minho watches the scene and narrows his eyes. He walks towards the red head, pulling him by the back of his neck and letting go to let him fall down. His expression was calm as he helped Hyunjin up, leaving before Byunsoo's little gang intervened as Hyunjin did the same thing with his books in hand.

He pulls on the boys sleeve, causing him to turn around. He signs a 'Thank you' which they learned yesterday and Minho nods, not paying him much attention as he walks towards his next class.

Hyunjin smiles warmly, not caring if the boy wasn't all that friendly. That was the first time someone stepped up for him, even if he didn't do it for him but more likely just to piss Byunsoo off.

---------

But Byunsoo... oh how the boy was pissed. He wasn't gonna let the two get away so easily. It was known widely to not mess with him.
