『Sanctuary』[COMPLETE]

Chapter 2

Mark Pov

After 'my gang' went and bullied that new kid Bambam, we headed to our 'hangout spot' which is really just an empty classroom in the abandoned part of the school.

I didn't exactly want to be apart of this gang, but I felt that if I didn't, I could have been in Bambams place.

I want to leave the gang, but I couldn't do that to Jinyoung. Even though I don't agree with the things he does to people, he was my first friend at this school. Best friend even. When I arrived here, I was bullied because I was a foreigner from the USA that moved to Korea when I couldn't even a speak the language fluently.

I saw how things were around here with the gangs, so I asked Jinyoung if I could join his. When he said yes, I felt relief wash over me because I cannot fight. I'm too short, skinny, and weak. Since then, we'd do everything together. We'd go bowling, we'd hang out at each other's houses, we'd tell jokes. He's got my back and makes sure no one touches me, and I do the same for him as best as I can.

It was all great. But, when we're at school, he turns into a different person. It's as if the Jinyoung who laughs with me, goes places with me isn't the real, Jinyoung. At school, he won't hesitate to push anyone away. Even his friends. Is there something Jinyoungs not telling u-

"-ark! Mark!" The loud voice causes me to jump in the chair I'm siting in. I look up and see Jinyoung crouching in front of me. "What's up with you? I've been calling you for 5 minutes." I shake my head signalling it's nothing. I don't talk much, so I stick with little gestures. "If you say so." He then walks back to his seat by the window and starts to speak.

"Hey guys. I found out that the little Thai boy always goes to the basketball court after school. How about we pay him a little 'visit', huh?" He says with a wicked grin on his face. They all have that wicked grin. He looks over to me and I smile and put a thumbs up. His eyebrow raises a tiny bit and then it goes back to normal.

We all decide to call it a night and go home. I'm laying in bed and hatched a plan in my mind. I have to get to Bambam first tomorrow. I'm sorry Jinyoung, but I won't allow you to hurt more people. I sigh. Jinyoung's gonna kill me. Than, I sleep.
