first pass

"hoseok-ssi? you're looking rather nervous? let's hurry and get your turn done!" mina says with a smile, trying to make hoseok at ease. mina was the nicest of all the teachers, the one who usually resolves most of fights. while taehee was the opposite.

hoseok flashes her a nervous smile. he walks into the room with heavy shoulders, for an unknown reason expecting pain?

the usual happening, background fading, dizziness occurring.

instead of saying something, hoseok stood up with a trembling body, looking around ever so scared.

"w-what is this?!.."

"today's story is where your father comes home drunk and has a record with abuse, he has a knife and he locks you in your room, escape."

"action!"

"to-today's story?? huh? there is going to be stories everyday?? i will have to face them??!" hoseok shouts, hands trembling more than ever.

the door then bursts open, revealing his dad. the dad who made him want to run away, commit suicide, give up on everything.

hoseok wanted to run. but he had no where to go. he reached for the lamp, throwing it at his father while running into the bathroom.

the door's frame met the ground, making hoseok jump. his father grabbed him by his collar and stabbed him multiple times.

as hoseok fell to the floor in tears, the background faded.

"hoseok-ah? you're okay honey, get up..." mina says through the intercom.

"you failed. hiding from the problem won't solve anything." taehee scornfully says, writing down on her clipboard.

the students were confused. first they saw jungkook with a confused face, namjoon with a wistful smile, now hoseok with tears running down his face?

"hey! what exactly is happening???!" yoongi shouts.

"the more you want to know makes me want to give it to you last." taehee says with a smile, hugging at her clipboard.

"don't worry, yoongi! your turn will come." mina says on the way of showing hoseok to the cafeteria.

"who wants to go next?" taehee asks.

"me." yoongi deadpans.

"thanks for volunteering jisun! let's go." taehee says, sending yoongi daggers of threatening smiles.

"what," - jisun

as the door closed, yoongi bursts.

"what the fuck does she have against me??" yoongi cursed, throwing hands.

"bro maybe if you didn't try getting all in the business so much." kyuseo says, trying not to piss him off.

"as she said. just wait your turn. we're all curious as to what's inside." seokjin says, putting a gentle hand on yoongi's shoulder. yoongi shaking his hand off in response. 

"jisun i said the X in the middle." taehee repeats, getting quite angry.

"could have sworn i saw a Q over there." jisun says, pointing at the corner she was just at while mina laughs.

"THIS IS NOT A JOKE JISUN PAY ATTENTION." taehee shouts into the microphone, the kids from outside hearing.

jisun gave taehee a blank look.

"face. the other way. yoo jisun." taehee says in between her grits.

jisun stepped around like a penguin, wondering why the fuck she had to do this. also curious as to what's going to happen. 

she began feeling dizzy, loosing balance in the process as the background faded. 

"where the fuck am i?" jisun asks herself, looking around to see a comfy looking bed.

"watch your language."

"who the fuck said that," jisun says, laughing at the rhetorical question she made. she then realized this was her room back at her place! just as she was about to jump into bed

"don't touch the bed. today's story is where your father comes home drunk and has a record with abuse, he has a knife and he locks you in your room, escape."

"action!"

"escape?? action? tv shows?" she then put a finger at her chin, thinking criss cross apple sause.

the door bursts open, revealing her dad.

"fucking hate that guy," jisun says under her breath. knowing he's abusive, she got up. she knew how he was and also knew how to get out of it.

"yoo jisun!" he yelled.

she was used to this.

she grabbed the empty bottle laying on the floor and hit him in the head with it, him falling right on to her bed. it began to become her life on a daily, the suddenly, the background returns.

"woah am i high?" jisun asks, struggling to open her eyes plus stand still.

"yoo jisun. you actually did pretty good. you had a strategy and knew your way around. you got a 98%, good job."

"what about my other 2%??" jisun asks, angry.

"be happy with what you got now get the fuck out." taehee curses while jisun walks out the door.

"watch your language taehee." jisun mimicked, her tongue sticking out in the process.

"yoo jisun!"

"i love pissing her off." jisun says as she looks to kyuseo, kyu sending her a smile.

"now, lee soojung. come on."
