"JuMin.... JuMin wake up." I hear a voice whisper as a hand lightly shoves my shoulder.

"Hmm." I hum as I lift my head up to see my homeroom teacher Mr.Choi. "Oh, joesong haeyo." I stand bowing.

"Ani." He chuckles placing his hand on my shoulder. "It's okay. Go wash up before students come. Okay?" He smiles, it seems fake,more like a worried smile rather than friendly.

"Okay." I nod, watching him leave the classroom.

Letting out a deep breath as I throw my head back in frustration. I can't believe that I was caught sleeping in the class.

"Omo!" I hear a female voice yelp, "You.." She mutters as she looks me up and down.

"Ms.Soo. I am so sorry." I bow.

I already feel guilty enough for sleeping in the classroom. But I am more than sure I have to explain myself. I never had to explain myself to anyone. I'd ball up and run away before I ever could. Or no one ever cared enough to ask questions.

Taking my hand and covering my undone buttons on my shirt and stare down at my feet. I can feel my cheeks heat up as I hear her footsteps come closer and closer. And my heart starts to beat out of my chest. I wouldn't be surprised if she could hear my heart beat right now.

Her cold hand grazes my hot flustered neck, tracing over the bruises that formed overnight. Flinching and stepping back, my eyes meet with hers for a split second before I look back at my feet.

"J-Ju...JuMin...W-who." She stutters, and I can tell she is more frightened than I am. She takes a deep breath before opening her mouth again. Her soft cold hands touches my chin raising my face to make eye contact. And I can't to look at her pitiful eyes, so I quickly look away and stare at the board that sits behind her. "Who... Who did this to you?" She questions, and her voice sounds more strained than it did before. Almost as if she was fighting back tears or was unsure if she should be asking such question.

Stepping back again, removing myself from her hands. I bow and run out of the classroom.

How? No not how, why? Actually I don't know. I don't know what emotion I am feeling right now. My mind is flooding, my eyes are clouding. Almost as if I can't comprehend what is going in the moment. The feeling of fear, sadness,and anger are all mixing up creating this feeling of insanity. Resting on my chest. Just weighing there. Burning it's way through. As if an elephant were to sit there, maybe even if someone stabbed me with a hot branding knife, laughing and taunting me enjoying my pain and confusion.

Some how my feet lead me upstairs to the roof. Once again the wind hitting my hot skin, the sound of the trees blowing as the cool wind hits ever so perfectly making them dance to the song of the birds singing in the clear sky, and the bright sun hitting my face. It all brings peace to me. Calming my racing heart and mind. My breathing slows as well and my heartbeat .

Opening my eyes, looking up at the beautiful sky. Admiring the birds as they fly, flying with a purpose.

"Hahahah." I begin to laugh at myself. Laughing because I am so pathetic. I never wanted to admit it to myself, but I might as well. Everyone pities me as it is. The look on Ms.Soo's face, even she was in disbelief and felt sorry for me.

"Here again?" I hear a gentle voice, and all too familiar presence . "It's so nice up here." He coos as his footsteps sound as if he is getting closer to me.

Fighting the urge to turn around and face him I continue to look up at the birds flying. And the trees dancing in the wind.

"Aish you look a mess JuMin.." He hums facing me.

"Who are you to judge me?" I question, still not looking at him. I can't find the, the... who cares. "Please leave if you are only going to judge me. It's best if we end this here." I turn around facing the exit. "Try a different line next time." I snarl before leaving the roof.

Making my way to the woman's bathroom I huff, letting out a breath I didn't even know I held in. Staring at my bruised and unpleasant self. Raising my hand to touch the dark purple almost crimson lesion staring back at me as I run my finger over it, wincing in pain I pull my hand away.

"And she lives." I hear a familiar voice cheer from behind me. And my hands quickly flies to the messy undone buttons that rest on my chest, fixing them as fast as humanly possible. "You look like shit." She chuckles as she joins me standing in the mirror behind me. "To bad." She throws her head back in laughter her hand hovering over her belly as she counties.

"Just fuck off." I curse under my breath. Not caring if she heard me or not.

"What?" She lifts her head back up and her hand falls to her side. Her eyes turning darker by the second. "Someone must have forgotten who she was talking to." BoRa snarls as she stares at my reflection.

Turning around I stare into her eyes. Giving her an equally as dark glare as her facial expression goes from anger to confusion and back to anger. "You heard me. Fuck off." I repeat.

And in that very moment her hand flies to my head grabing a fist full of my hair dragging me out of the bathroom.

For some reason I can't find it in me to fight her back. I just let her drag my lifeless limp body out of the bathroom. Hitting the hard cold wall.

"You bitch." She practically screams at me.

As the seconds pass a crowd of people swarm to the scene. The hallways filling in 'oooo's and 'ahhhh's faster than I can comprehend.

JungKook's point of view

"You bitch." I hear BoRa's voice scream as I near my first class. But is blocked by a large body of people.

"Do it.... DO IT!!" I hear a familiar weak voice scream back, and I instantly push through the group of people. And the connection to the voice was correct as I stare at the girl lying against the wall and her body covered in dark red circles.

"Go ahead. Hit me. Beat me. Kill me for all I care." Her voice faint almost a whisper. "Do it." She says again standing up this time.

"You crazy bitch." BoRa hisses and Jumin steps closer to her. "What the fuck.." She is cut off by Jumin's hands wrapping around her collar.

"FUCKING DO IT." She yells her face turning into a deep shade of red as her cheeks puff up, as if she were ready to cry or maybe even yell.

I stand still in my place not sure if I should stop her or let this happen. But one thing is for sure, she isn't the same girl I saw on the roof crying ready to give up her life. Almost as if she hit her breaking point. Her glass of water of problems has finally overflowed and spilled on to the floor of anger. If I couldn't see the fire burning behind her brown eyes I wouldn't be able to see the hurt and the pain that she hid so deep within her.

Her face changes from anger to a wicked smile. So wicked that BoRa ends up stumbling back onto the floor. And with that everyone gasps.I can feel the fear emitting off of BoRa as Jumin steps closer. Standing directly over her.

"DO IT!" JuMin screams once more, with watchful eyes she steps back hitting the wall once again. "That's what I thought. You are just as weak as I am. The only difference is that you hide and you make others feel like shit because you feel like... let me not go there. I am not some sick twisted bitch that feeds off of others pain like you are." She spits, her eyes becoming glossy by the second.

My heart begins to ache for the girl who finally lashed out on one of her many demons. I can see the regret seeping back in as her tears begin to fall on her fire red cheeks.

"JuMin." I whisper, barely audible to others but her eyes dart up to mine and she falls to her knees. Stepping over the trembling raven haired girl I make my way over to JuMin. Who has her head buried into the palms of her hands.

"It's okay." I coo as I wrap my arms around her hot body. I can feel her anger and sadness as she sobs into my chest. "It's okay." I whisper once more as her arms make their around my neck.

"I want to leave." She whispers into my neck as she sniffles. And I nod in agreement lifting her into my arms as I stand up and walk through the crowd of people.
