Sangwoo x Yoonbum

Trapped in the Closet

*Sangwoo pov, in class*

Juien and Miss were off the cheer team, and the entire school was gossiping about it. Lots of students were asking me and Bum questions about the whole ordeal, and it was just nervewracking. During all of second hour, I couldn't even hear what the teacher was saying since everyone was whispering about it; and I couldn't concentrate on my work. I groaned, running my hands through my hair. I was tired... Tired of all this bullshit, and I honestly would be ecstatic when its finally over. I laid my head in my arms, staring at the board, while attempting to drown out the whispers all around me.

*Bum pov, in the gym locker room*

I had just gotten out of the shower and gotten dressed, when a punch to the side of my head, from behind me, knocked me down; slamming me onto the floor. Groaning in pain, I sat up and was met with Juien; who looked furious. "J-Juien..!" I shrieked and attempted to get up, but Juien stomped on my ribs in her stilettos; and I heard something crack. I screamed in pain, clutching my side; beginning to sob uncontrollably. "Put a sock in it, Freakshow!" she yelled at me, raising her foot to stomp on me again; but I quickly punched her in her..y'know. She keeled over in pain, and I quickly scrambled to my feet; running out of the lockerroom. As I threw the door open, Miss was waiting for me.

She grabbed my arm, digging her sharply pink manicured nails into my flesh, and dragged me over to the gym closet. She tossed me inside, and slammed the door behind me. Quickly getting up, I pounded on the door. "Let me out! Please!! Im begging you! Please let me out!!" I begged, sobbing uncontrollably. Misa let out a cruel laugh. "No way in hell, Freakshow." "Please! Im begging you! Please let me out!! I can't be in small spaces!!" I sobbed, continuing to pound on the door. "Sure you can't, you ducking crybaby." she replied. I could hear the smirk in her voice. "I really can't!! Please let me out!!" I screamed, pounding on the door. All I heard was two laughing voices and footsteps walking away. Beginning to panic, I tried to pry the door open; but failed. Misa had locked the door.

My hands began to shake violently, and my heartrate and breathing began to accelerate. I have a really bad case of claustrophobia, and being locked in the gym closet with no windows, made my stomach churn anxiously. I covered my mouth, beginning to feel sick from anxiety. As much as I tried to fight it back, I ended up puking; which made me feel more anxious and scared. "S-Sangwoo..! S-someone..!" I shrieked, unsteadily going to the door. "Please let me out!"

*Sangwoo pov, in the hallway*

"That's odd. Bum's class should have let out by now." I wondered out loud, as I waited for him with Shimi and Ayame. Both girls looked confused. "I saw him go into the locker room a bit ago." Ayame said, and Shimi nodded. "He doesn't take this long to shower and change.." I replied. "Something's up, and Im gonna find out what." I didn't know why, but a knot of fear wove itself in my chest, and it hurt. A series of police sirens made all three of us jump. The men in blue, including SeungBae's father, tore past us following another frantic cheerleader to the gym. "What the hell?" I wondered, as a sinking developed in my gut. "I hope its not what I think it is..." Shimi mumbled. Thinking the worst, I ran after the police officers; with Ayame and Shimi following.

Other students were gathered in the gym, and we shoved our way up; until we ended up by the officers. The handles on the closet had been chained shut with a heavy padlock, which was took thick for boltcutters. "Son! We need you back away from the door, ok!" one officer called through the heavy door. "We have to shoot the lock off!" Whoever was in there shrieked in reply. One female officer cocked her gun and shot the lock. All the students screamed, shielding their faces with their arms and hands. The officers quickly got removed the chains, and the door was thrown open. And who stumbled out, shaking and crying uncontrollably, was...

*Bum pov, out of the closet*

"Bum!" I heard my name being called above a the noise, but I was crying to hard to see who it was. The person ran up to me and hugged me tight. I clung to them, sobbing and shaking horribly; burying my face in their shoulder. "Bum, who did this to you?" a girls voice asked. "Who shoved you in there?" another girl asked. "J-j-ju..!" I tried to say, but faltered and sobbed again. "Did Juien and Misa do this to you?" the first girl voice asked. "Y-y-yes!!" I sobbed. "J-Juien hurt me!! And Misa shoved me in there!! Waaaaaaahhhh!!" I was inconsolable..unable to stop crying or shaking.

"Juien...Im going to ducking kill you!!" the boy who held me snarled. Once out of his arms, I realised it was Sangwoo. Shimi and Ayame held me close, attempting to calm me down; which I managed enough to see Sangwoo punch Juien across the face, and tackle her; viciously pulling her hair, and beating the hell out of her. Sensing it would only get worse, SeungBae hauled Sangwoo off of her while he kicked and screamed at her; as the officers handcuffed Juien and Misa.

"S-Sangwoo..!" I hiccupped, beginning to cry again; reaching for him. "I-I need you!" Sangwoo's anger did a complete 180, and he turned to me with genuine concern. SeungBae let him go, and he hugged me tightly again. "Oh baby...Im so sorry.." I sobbed in response, burying my face in his chest. This was all just too much for me to handle...

After being examined by SeungBae and his father, the truth came out. I'd actually suffered a nervous breakdown from the trauma from the bullying from both Misa and Juien.

When Sangwoo's mother came to get us, she found Misa and Juien being led out in handcuffs. Juien had large bruises all over her face, and Misa looked plain guilty. "I can't believe you talked me into this, Juien! I ducking hate you!" Misa shrieked, bawling her eyes out; while they were both shoved into the police car. She rushed inside to find me wrapped in a security blanket and being held close by Sangwoo. I'd finally calmed down enough where I could speak coherently, and was breathing steadily. After being questioned by SeungBae's father, she took us home. She and Sangwoo stayed very close to me for the rest of the day, keeping us out of the eye of the press, who wanted to interview me. After they fought off the press, Mrs. Oh called both Misa and Juien's parents, and told them both that she was suing both of their "Pathetic excuses for children who should have been raised better." before slamming the phone down after hanging up. Her actions scared me, and I was still a bit on edge from earlier. She turned back to me with an apologetic expression. "Im sorry darling..you didn't deserve to have that happen.." she said, offering me a hug; which I took, resting my head on her shoulder while she rubbed my back. "Im so sorry baby boy..."
