The Best Child

Chapter 8

After the whole thing with me panicking and passing out yesterday, they were careful to make sure that I knew that they were gonna be here when I got home from school today. I started to go out the door to meet Luhan on the walk to school, before I turned back.

"Hey Kyungsoo?"

"Yeah?" he yawned.

"Sorry about last night. I-"

"Oh no no no. Don't apologize for that. It was kinda my fault, since I didn't tell you that we were gonna be gone. If anything I should be the one apologizing."

I told him okay, and went out the door, Luhan immediately by my side within the first couple of seconds.

"So how's my beautiful boyfriend doing today?" he asked with a grin.

I blushed at the nickname, replying with a small "Good..." before he took his hand in mine and started walking.

The walk to school felt like a mere couple of seconds, and the school day itself started to feel like it was going on faster every second.

Until P.E. came along, that is.

We were having fun, Luhan and me, until some kids started acting... kind of different towards us. I nonchalantly strolled their way in the gym, telling Luhan to stay there for a second. What they were saying fueled my anger.

"What the fuck are they, even? The taller one isn't anywhere NEAR good looking, and the shorter one is waaaaaay worse than him" I heard the first one say.

"They're just fags, don't worry about them. They're worth about as much as dirt," the second, and the third's saying was what made me especially mad.

"There's nothing they can do. They're worth nothing. They should just kill themselves already. No one wants them here."

That pushed me over the edge. I walked over there, and without a word, punched the third one in the jaw, with all the force I could.

Apparently, I blacked out, because next thing I know, Luhan was trying to pull me away, telling me over and over to stop until I finally calmed down.

I looked at my hands, then to the kids I fought. All three of them had bloody noses, but the third one, the one that had pissed me off the most, had his nose completely shattered, both of his eyes were black, and he was on the ground holding his arm, nose still gushing blood.

I felt all the color drain from my face as I mumbled to myself, and even I can't remember what exactly I was saying. Luhan still had his arms wrapped around me, not wanting me to have second thoughts and go back over to the other two to finish them.

Long story short, I got suspended. But the thing was, and I loved both of them for this, Kyungsoo and Jongin were both okay with me. I wasn't even in trouble, they just told me not to do it again.

On the car rode home, Kyungsoo started, "Okay, listen. What you did was definitely not okay, but we aren't going to punish you."

My eyes bulged, "What?! You're serious?"

"Yeah, but you have to tell us WHY exactly you did that, because there was definitely a really important reason why you did that. You wouldn't just break someone's nose and give them two black eyes over nothing."

So I explained to them what happened, leaving out little detail in what I DID remember, and they both got extremely furious. I told them everything, what they said, how I blacked out and don't remember doing that to them, all of it.

"Did the fucking teacher do anything??" Jongin asked, fire in his eyes as he visibly tightened his grip on the wheel as he turned into the driveway.
