I woke up the next day and didn't want to go to school. If I went to school, Areum could be pressuring me even more to go to her party. 

I've been thinking about it all night and I don't think I'm going to go to her party. Just knowing how socially awkward I am, I wouldn't be able to talk to anyone even if Yoongi is there. Not to mention Areum probably has something up her sleeve for me there, so it's safer not to go. 

I went to the washroom but looked at myself in the mirror for a long time. Looking into my own eyes while I touched the side of my face. How would I be like when Taehyung leaves, would things become worse when he leaves? Would I hate myself even more then I do now?

I don't want to go to school, I don't want to leave my house. I'm embarrassing, I don't want people to see my face. 

I staid in the washroom for a while, debating on whether I should even go to school or not when I heard my mother call me downstairs. "Hoseok get down here" she said in a loud, angry tone. 

I walked downstairs to see what she wanted, and she had her arms crossed as I entered the room. "Why aren't you ready for school?" She asks, giving me elevator eyes. 

"I-I....don't feel well, I don't think I can go" I say in a lie. 

"I don't care if you're dying Hoseok, you're going to school. Your teacher called our house the other day. She says your grades are dropping, what is this?!" My mother asks, raising her voice by every word she said. 

"N-Nothing....I just..." 

"You just what? You're failing Hoseok, what have I told you about getting good grades!" My mother exclaims, slapping me across the face and I looked down, closing my eyes tightly.

"I-I...." I say, I wasn't able to push anything else out of my mouth.

"What, you're a disappointment? I already know that, what else is new?" My mother asks, yelling even louder and getting more into my face. 

I winced as she started to yell higher and i turned my head away from her. "I'm not feeling well" I manage to say again but quieter this time.

"I just told you I don't care if you're not feeling well Hoseok. You're going to school whether you like it or not." She says and I turned around, walking to the front door. 

"Where're you going Hoseok, come back!" I heard he exclaim, walking after me. 

I ignored her while putting on my shoes and leaving the house. I looked back at the house as I started walking away and I saw her watching me walk away. I think she wanted to yell at me but didn't want to case a scene outside of the house. 

It was kind of embarrassing walking out of the house in what I slept in, but it's not like I slept in pyjamas. I slept in sweatpants and a t-shirt, so it looked like I was going for a run early in the morning. 

The only problem was I didn't bring a sweater outside with me so the wounds on my wrists were visible to see. I had to cross my arms like I was cold while walking so no one could see my wrists. 

I looked around and barley anyone was even outside of their house at this time, mostly just people opening their stores. I went and sat down on a bench which was on  one side of the side walk. I didn't know where to go because I didn't want to go back home. 

Even if I were to go to school now I'd have to go home first to get changed and get my backpack but I don't want to do that. I guess I'm staying out here like this for a while then. 

I was sitting down on the bench, looking down into my lap with my arms still crossed when someone put their hand on my shoulder and I quickly looked up. Once I saw who it was a was a bit surprised. It was Taehyung's dad. 

"Hey Hoseok...what're you doing out here, aren't you suppose to be in school right now?" He asks, looking at me in confusion. 

He sat down next to me and I didn't answer him, continuing to look down. "Why're you outside here like this, did your mom kick you out of the house?" He asks and I staid quiet. 

I guess he noticed I wasn't going to answer any of his questions because he then asks "why don't you come back to my place so you can put something warmer on, are you cold?" He questions, seeing my crossed arms. 

"No, I'm hiding them" I explain and he quickly got what I meant a couple seconds after I said it. 

"Okay well let's go to my house if you're not going to school so you're not sitting on a bench all day" he explains, getting up and heading over to his car. 

I watched him as he was walking to his car and thought about it for a bit. I really don't want to go with him, but it's probably better then staying on a bench all day in nothing but sweatpants and a t-shirt. 

I got into the car with him and he started driving to his house. "So Hoseok...those wounds on your face, the black eye and the cut lip...did your parents do that to you?" He asks and I didn't answer. 

"Hoseok you should tell me these things." 

"I don't want too." 

"Why not, your parents aren't suppose to hurt you." He says in a serious tone like I didn't already know that. 

"I know...I don't want my parents going to jail though." 

"Do you really care that much about your parents Hoseok?" He asks me in a stern tone, keeping his eyes on the road once he started driving. 

I looked down into my lap and twiddled with my fingers, thinking about my answer before saying it. "...no I don't..." I admit, still looking down. 

"Then why don't you want to tell anyone about this, you can be taken away from them. You don't have to live with them." He explains in a concerned tone. 

"Where will I go...where will the authorities put me if they take me away?" I ask, and I was generally curious.

"Probably in a foster home" Taehyung's dad explains, stopping at a red light but I shook my head. 

"No, I don't want to go to a foster home, I'd rather stay in my house." 

"In an abusive household?" He questions and I nodded. 

"Yeah..." I say and while I said yeah we pulled up into his driveway. 

"Taehyung already went to school so he's not in the house but you can stay in the living room and watch some T.V if you want, I'll get you something to eat as well" Taehyung's father explains while we were both getting out of the car.

While getting into the house I was looking down while taking off my shoes when I heard a familiar voice "why's he hear?" 

My eyes opened wider and I stood still in my spot. I didn't hear correctly, right? It can't be...I slowly stood up straight and looked in front of me to see Dohyun standing before me. 

"D-Dohyun, why're you here?!" I ask in a surprised stutter, looking at him with wide eyes. 

"Oh you know Dohyun as well? Well I guess you should, Dohyun and Taehyung are the same age. Dohyun is my other son." He explains in a chuckle, then continuing to explain "Dohyun, show him to the living room so he can watch some TV." His father explains while patting Dohyun's shoulder, then walking away to go to the kitchen. 

I took both shoes off by now and Dohyun showed me into the living room. Dohyun and Taehyung are brothers...and they're the same age so does that make them...twins?! Why didn't Taehyung tell me his brother was Dohyun...why was he hiding this from me?

I sat down on the couch and Dohyun sat down on the other couch which was still in the same room. An awkward silence arose and I didn't bother to start a conversation, but Dohyun did.
