after hyunjin had gotten scolded by his tutor for leaving without permission, he finally escaped through torture.

the sky grew dark by the time he finished.

he didn't enjoy being home schooled but he had no choice.

it wasn't a lie that hyunjin would get jealous every time he sees students in uniforms, walking together with their friends.

he never had a friend and had been cooped up inside the house for 18 years; he didn't partially like the tutor as well.

the tutor was boring that hyunjin had lost the will to live.

sometimes he would fall asleep as the tutor explained the questions or even daydreamed throughout the whole lesson.

he started to dislike everything school related.

either they find him a better tutor which brings his attention to the subjects or they find a public school where he could meet new friends and study easier.

no matter how many times he pleaded his dad to get him to a public school or change tutors, he wouldn't budge to change his mind.

it was even at that stage where hyunjin gave up and just wanted to end his life but he didn't because he was saved by a boy he couldn't stop thinking about.

he laid on top of his bed and got out his phone that was lying on the bed stand.

opening his phone, he saw no notification.

he didn't know what to do right now until he came across a contact.

hyunjin's eyes glimmered with an excitement as he thought of something.

he pressed onto the contact and decided to text him.

he was unsure whether or not he was awake but didn't hesitate to send him a message and find out.

hello~ it's me, hyunjin
just wondering if you're still awake :) <

after he sent that message, he placed his phone down next to him and closed his eyes for a while.

'he's probably sleeping.' he thought.

however, he realised he was wrong when he heard a buzzing sound coming from his phone.

he got up and looked at his phone again to see that he received 2 new messages.

> oh, hey hyunjin, wassup?
> and yeah, i'm still awake

he smiled excitedly at the quick reply.

it meant that he was awake and he could text the older.
