-Taehyung is gay!
-SHUT UP! I shout as I slam my fists against my desk and stand up. She chuckles.
These girls have been saying the same thing over and over everyday.
The teacher walks in.
The class immediately gets quiet.
-Taehyung, please sit down, tells me the teacher.
I sit back down and rest my head on my desk, trying to calm myself down.
Classes go by and lunch time rolls around. I get my lunch box and quickly get a table in the corner of the cafeteria.
As usual, I get stuff thrown at me and people shout gay insults.
Why are people like this?
I am tired of this place, I hope people change.
As the day ends, my music teacher comes to see me at my locker.
-Taehyung? She says.
-Yes?
-Are you ok? If you need anyone to talk to, I'm here, ok?
-Sure.
She smiles and rubs my hair.
I walk out of the building and look for somewhere to hide. I find this small corner, where there is a garbage can. It's on the back side of the school building. I get my lighter out and take a cigaret out of my pocket. I light up the tip and smoke it. I close my eyes and rest my head on the brick wall.
I let the smoke slowly escape my mouth.
I look down at my phone and look at the time.
"오후10:25"
School ends so late here in Korea.
I like it.
I like the pitch black sky, the darkness, the bright moon that only offers the slightest bit of light, the silence. I've always preferred the night over the day.
After a few minutes, I put my cigaret on the ground and step on it. I start walking home.
I get to the front door. I reach in my pocket to grab my keys. As I go to unlock the door, I realize that it's already unlocked.
I sigh and open it.
I see empty Soju bottles laying beside the door. Some of them are broken. I get in. The extremely strong smell of alcohol hits me.
I immediately go to my room. As I'm walking in the house, I see my mother, on the ground, with empty Soju bottles beside her. My step father is on the couch, drinking while watching TV. I get in my room and close the door behind me.
I do a few pages of homework then fall asleep with an empty stomach.
