『Sanctuary』[COMPLETE]

Chapter 1

Hi. My name is Bambam. I was sent to Korea by my mother to study. I have a story I'd like to tell. Let's start, at the beginning.

_____________

This story begins, when I was sent to Korea study. Here, I didn't have any friends. Trying to adjust to a different environment has got to be one of the most difficult things that have
happened. It's alright though because in two years, I would be going home to Thailand. Everything was fine.

Until one day, I came across a very troublesome gang. Just three people. They were staring at me with such an untrustworthy gaze. And me, being a nerd wearing glasses, didn't know what to do. I tried to walk away. The moment I turned around,

"Hey." The leader called to me. "You don't have to walk away. We aren't here to harm you." They walked right infront of me. One of the others asked me, "Are you new?" Not knowing what to do, I just nodded my head. "What's your name?" Hesitating a bit, I responded. "It's Bambam." "I'm Baekhyun, that's Xiumin, and our leader, Chanyeol." The leader walked closer to me. "If you ever need any help, come to us." And with that, they walked away.

I don't know why, but I felt so indescribably warm in my heart. I walked to my next class before I was late. In that class, I was just thinking. It's the feeling that I finally got noticed in this place. Never the less, I came across the real deal eventually.

As I was walking out of the building, I turn the corner and bump into someone. "Aish!" He says, bucking at me a bit. "I'm sorry." I say, sounding completely pitiful, with my head down. The school gangsters. I think to myself. There are six in total. The scariest was the man who seemed to be the leader of said group. Just looking into his eyes made me shake with fear.

"Hey," the leader starts, gesturing to his gang while still looking at me, "this guys has a face for bullying." My heart pounds rapidly in my chest. I'm scared. The next moment, one of the people in the gang grab my backpack. I try to pull it away, but to no avail. I'm terrible at working out. He said, "Why did you bring so much in this bag?" He opens it and dumps all of it's contents out on the ground. The leader looks down at it, then back up at me. "Wow. You're a nerd." He kicks my stuff while walking close to me.

One of the members in the back looks at me. He's silent, but there's something, sad, in his eyes. He looks back at the leader. The leader took out some money and shoved me to the ground, my hand scraping on the ground and my glasses falling. One of the lenses breaking. I don't have the best eyesight, so I look up at him, trying to focus on his blurry silhouette.

He gets in front of me and crouches down to my level. He puts the money in my pocket and speaks. "This, is for your transport fee back home." He slaps me and walks through the doors I just walked out of. The rest of the gang follows him.

I noticed that, the one with the sad eyes bent down a bit and dropped something in front of me, then quickly followed his gang. I look at them leaving and put on my broken glasses with shaky hands. I'm gonna need to buy new ones. As I can finally see again, I noticed that my left hand is bleeding a bit. When I look in front of me between my legs, I see a band-aid. I pick it up, and look towards the door the gang walked in.

The quiet man, maybe he's not too bad.
