today was the day, school started in an hour and it was going to be your first day back. you got up early enough to shower and look as presentable as possible.

you sighed as you walked into your kitchen, grabbing the pills, and popping them in your mouth. last night was restless, tossing and turning, uncomfortable positions, and nightmares as soon as you would finally drift off to sleep.

you hated coffee, so that wasn't on the list of things that could wake you up. you decided to just figure it out as the day went on. jaebum knocked on the door, you sighed and collected your school items and walked out of your apartment.

jaebum smiled at you, "good morning," he said, his morning voice still evident. you smile half-heartedly in return adding a small, soft "good morning," as well.

the two of you started down the stairs of the apartment building. meeting with the parking lot, jaebum pulled out a key and clicked the unlock button to his car.

you two walked over to the black car and got inside, throwing your bag on the floor in front of you. "do you want coffee?" jaebum asked once you two were on the road.

"no thank you, i don't really like coffee," you reply, turning up your seat heater.

jaebum nodded and focused his attention on the road. you two made it to the school with at least 15 minutes to spare. "thank you," you say softly right as you both parted ways.

you walk to your homeroom, which you had with yugyeom. excitedly, you ran into the class and sat at your conjoined desk that you shared with yugyeom. you waited a bit before texting him, asking of his whereabouts.

no response.

you shrugged, suggesting the possibility that he was coming in late. you pushed the thought to the back of your head and carried on with homeroom, scrolling through social media.

the bell rang and you picked up your things and headed out the door to your chinese class, the only class you actually enjoyed.

you walked out the door and an arm draped around your shoulder, you look up and your eyes are greeted by none other then your boyfriend, xu minghao.

you were practically fuming just in the presence of him, you shook his arm away and quickened your pace in attempt to get away from him.

he only followed close behind you trying to turn you around and ask you what's wrong. you continued to walk quickly through the groups of high schoolers that filled the hallway.

"kylie!" minghao called, his voice lined with sadness, but you were buying any more bullshit.

he caught up to you grasping your hand, you shook him away, but you knew how persistent he was.

he pinned you against the locker making a loud crashing sound, you winced in pain as your back met the cold metal. "stop," you whisper, tears gathering in your eyes.

"no," he yelled, "why are you ignoring me!?" he yelled again, now the entire hallway was probably watching this go down.

you muster up all the strength you could, taking a deep breathe you let go and, "to make it easier to break up with your insane ass!" you yell pushing him off of you and running down the hall.

tears now spilled from your eyes and it was getting harder and harder to breathe, you ran until you spotted jaebum, he was talking to a few other kids. you were totally out of breath and just about ready to collapse, but you managed to run only a little further and wrap jaebum in the tightest hug you could possibly give.

"kylie?" he looked down, surprised to see of all people, you. you were now sobbing uncontrollably trying to figure out how to tell him what happened, "h-he g-grab me a-and, it, he s-shoved me against a l-locker." you said through sobs.

he looked at his friends before dragging you away to a more secluded place. "tell me again what happened," he said sitting down on a bench that was in the schools courtyard.

you took a deep breath trying to muster up the strength to even speak about what had happened, "i, he saw me and, and i i-ignored h-him, and he got really, really mad and, and he yelled at me and shoved me up against a locker, and n-now my b-back hurts." you finally spilled, tears followed suit.

jaebum looked at you wide-eyed, whispering curses under his breath, but loud enough for you to hear. he stood up and hugged you tightly, one hand around your waist and the other around your shoulder. even though you were shocked, you hugged him back, as that was what you needed most. someone to understand you, someone to be there for you when you needed it most.

you pulled away, "i'm sorry," you whisper collecting your school things and heading for the door. jaebum rolled him eyes and dragged you back, "stop leaving, i know you want a hug, i'm fine with giving you one," he said pulling you close to him once again.
