(Jihoon's p.o.v)

It was now Sunday and Woojin and I decided to head back to our homes.
We did stay until late night so I only had to head directly to my bed once I got back.
I lazily jumped onto my bed and stared into nothing while thinking about these passed days.
My friendship with Woojin had gotten so much better in a matter of two days.
I'm forever thankful for the woods,hehe.

Slowly my eyelids felt heavy and I drifted off to sleep,tomorrow is Monday which also means a new day in school!

__________

My alarm clock suddenly started ringing and I inwardly sighed,I really want to stay in bed today.
After a little mental fight with myself,I decided to get ready for school.
I've never really eaten a lot to breakfast since I want to get away from home as soon as possible.
You never know when my dad will show up so...yeah.

I ate a piece of bread with some banana milk before brushing my teeth really quickly.
Tied my shoelaces and I was finally ready to go!

While I was walking to school I suddenly saw a few familiar figures taking the same route as me.
I couldn't quite put my finger on who exactly they could be and where I last saw them but I got a bad feeling about this.

Since I'm still not good enough to protect myself I fastened my pace in hopes of meeting Woojin soon.

Fortunately I spotted Woojin at his seat immediately after I burst through the doors of our classroom.
"Why are you hurrying so much?" Woojin asked as I sat down.
"I've had a bad feeling about this day ever since I walked to school but I still don't know why."
I grabbed my hair out of frustration.
I hate it when I'm feeling weird and can't explain it.

The teacher walked in but I could see students walking right behind her.
Oh wait,they're the same people I spotted earlier.
I do wonder what's wrong with me today.
My stomach aches.

Maybe I'm suddenly allergic to banana milk?!

"What? Are you silly!? I've seen you drink banana milk in the cafeteria every single lunch break Jihoon!" Woojin said out of nowhere.
"Did I say that out loud?" I asked,confused.
Woojin just nodded and focused on the front again.

"Class! Today we have five new students so please be nice and welcoming towards them." Our teacher announced.
Murmurs could be heard right after and I made eye contact with one of them.
He suddenly smirked and that's when I took a closer look and examined his face.
Reality hit me hard when I realized who these guys are,they're my freaking bullies!!
"Yah,yah,yah! Woojin. Hello? Can you hear me?!" I panicked.
"What is it Jihoon?" Geez,he finally decides to answer me.
"Look at them,they used to bully me.
What am I gonna do now?!"
"Just calm down,okay?
I'll figure something out." He said.

I decided to try to act normal,like I wasn't bothered at all.
I noticed that that boy pointed directly at me and they all turned their heads toward me once they had sat down in their seats.
I gulped as they all seemed to recognize me,oh god help me.

This is going to be a long day,I thought.
It was soon going to be break and I was definitely not anticipating for that today.
The bell rung indicating that it was indeed the start of our break.
I dashed out of the room with Woojin running close behind me.

After some time,I decided to stop in order to catch my breath.
"Yo,I need to go use the restroom real quick." He informed me.
"Fine. But please be quick,okay?" I pleaded.
He gave me a thumbs up sign and began to walk to the restrooms.
I stood near my locker while still waiting for him and that's when someone pushes me back so that my back hits the locker.
"Well,well,well,what do we have here?
Isn't it the infamous crybaby of our school?" One of them said as the others snickered behind him.
"W-what do you want from me?" I asked.
"Oh,I see.
You still haven't changed a bit,you're still as pathetic as ever!" Another one spat harshly.

I was on the verge of crying but luckily I saw Woojin coming back.
Once he spotted me he quickened his steps and grabbed the collar of one of the bullies.
"What do you think you're doing?" He asked sternly.
"We were just playing around with Jihoon,right guys?" The guy answered.
I secretly rolled my eyes and I saw that Woojin did the same.
"I wouldn't exactly call this playing around,now leave Jihoon alone or else I'll deal with you all by myself." Woojin threatened them.
Not gonna lie,this side of him is quite a tad bit terrifying,even though I faced it on my first day here.
"Tsk,so what? What are you gonna do about it,huh?!" The same guy confidently spat.
Woojin glared at him,burning daggers right through his soul.
They all looked kind of terrified of him and soon left.

I slid down to the floor and just blankly stared at the ground.
"You okay there buddy?" Woojin suddenly asked.
"Yeah,thanks a lot by the way."
"No problem.
You've got to learn how to stand up for yourself Jihoon.
Don't let them push you around the next time,arraseo?"
I nodded my head in agreement.
We both headed towards the garden where our friendship first started off.
