[ON HOLD] Torment || Markhyuck

Chapter 2

TRIGGER WARNING: THIS CHAPTER HAS PHYSICAL ABUSE

This day was starting off way worse than expected. His energy? Zero. His alarm? Clearly wasn't loud enough. His mother? Nowhere to be seen. His breakfast? Nonexistent.

Donghyuck threw his uniform on and quickly brushed his teeth before running out of the bathroom and into his room. He couldn't fix his hair to the point where it looked somewhat decent because he didn't have the time. He was running late. He opened his closet and grabbed his shoes, he crammed his feet into his shoes and grabbed his bag before swinging it over his shoulder.

He ran out of his room and down the stairs, almost tripping over his feet in the process. He pulled the front door open and locked it behind him before running down the street, his heavy backpack weighing him down.

He feared that his teacher would give him detention and started sprinting full speed with his wobbly legs which weren't ready for this kind of movement this fast and early. Donghyuck felt his legs weakening and he silently cursed, but he kept running. He tripped over his own two feet and let out a single profanity which grabbed the attention of the elderly couple that lived across the street.

His knees were burning, his pants slightly torn. He slowly got up and once he put pressure on one foot, he instantly knew that he was screwed.

It was bound to happen at some point.

He thought, now walking with a small limp. Was he bleeding? Probably. He was still dashing- or at least trying to towards his school. The bus wouldn't pass at this time, it was already gone and wouldn't come back around until another 15 minutes.

How could I have been so reckless and sleep through my alarm??!

He mentally bitch slapped himself. As he arrived at the gates of his school he glanced at his phone.

Well... at least I won't be that late.

Once he entered the building, he made his way to the boys restroom to look at the damage. He rolled his pants up and saw blood running down his left leg. He grabbed a few paper towels, soaked one with water and started wiping the blood away. The injury was gross to look at, but he was wearing pants and it covered his injuries.

"Thank God I don't have gym today, I've had enough fucking exercise today." He mumbled while rolling his pant legs back down.

When he arrived to class he was scolded by his teacher. His seat mate told him what he missed and turns out it wasn't much due to the class starting 10 minutes late.

The day had gone by very quickly that is until it was time to go. The halls were almost completely clear of students, except for those in after school activities and those who had clean up duty. Everyone is so eager to get out of school, everyone except Donghyuck. By the end of the day his legs were killing him and he just wanted to sit down.

He was just walking too slow, the other students thought so too. Some have shoved him around the hallway, and they all ignored his not so nice words that were directed at them. He was limping through the halls, almost to the main exit.

"Excuse me, do you need help?"

A voice from behind asked. Donghyuck turned his head slowly, both of their eyes widening a bit.

It was his coworker, Mark.

Mark's lips parted a bit open from surprise, "You go to this school?"

"What do you mean 'you go to this school?' I've been here since my first year and I've never seen you!" Hyuck said, raising his voice a bit.

"I just transferred here a few days ago." Donghyuck just hummed while turning around to continue trying to get home.
