Kyungsoo gets bullied but gets saved by delinquent Jongin from another school. When their paths crossed again they both learned that Kyungsoo's family is in debt with Jongin's family. Kyungsoo hates the rich & the powerful so when he learns Jongin is one, he starts to ignore him.
---
It's another damn day for Kyungsoo to want to disappear just like how his father disappeared from their family's lives. Hate is such a soft term for what he's feeling for his father. He loved the man, truly and wholeheartedly until he started beating up everyone he sees around him when he's drunk and broke which is too often as he spends his money gambling, never thinking about the bills, the food and the fact that Kyungsoo is still studying.
His mother always said that his father wasn't like that before so she continues to love the cruel man even though she gets a new bruise every night.
Kyungsoo was more than glad that the man left. They were too forgiving, he can't hold a grudge against his father and his mother is just the same, still in love with the man her husband once was. Kyungsoo can fight, he's been beaten up by his father more than enough times to not learn about defending himself or his mother but being in a school and in a scholarship at that, is a whole different thing.
He hates rich people who shove him around during lunch, the rich girls who tries to get his attention by offering him money, his rich teachers who are aware of his family's situation and pities him too much and of course, he hates the prestigious school he's studying at. The only reason he's still here is because of his mother who is an alumna of this school. She loves the education she got here and she wants the best for Kyungsoo as well.
His mother came from money, she had a very nice life but then she had to fall in love with a man who wasted all their savings just to get that 'high' from the rich society. Kyungsoo can never get it, he can never accept or understand his father's reasons. As soon as her mom's parents found out that her mother got pregnant by someone who was not from their 'class', her mom got dropped and kicked out of the house faster than she could explain.
All of those summed up together, is another damn day for Kyungsoo.
Another day where he gets pushed around.
Another day where his food gets thrown to his feet
Another day where his professors try to hit on him
And another day where he receives a solid punch on his jaw
He fucking hates it, he hates that he can't do anything about it and he hates that he doesn't have someone to help him out. He's as independent as he can be but dealing with this shit every single day is as tiresome as it can be for a 21 year old.
His head whips back as someone's fist connected to his jaw, he spat out blood on the sidewalk before throwing back his head down. 'Bear with it, Kyungsoo. Don't punch back' he kept on reminding himself.
A particular hit landed on his side that made him flinch and scream out loud, his reflex kicked in and he pulled his knee up, kneeing the man in front of him right on his groin. A shout came from the man and his friends were immediately on Kyungsoo.
"Our little Kyung-kyung is fighting back now" someone said in amusement.
"Fuck you" Kyungsoo spat out, he felt a cut on his eyebrow already and another stinging cut on his lower lip.
5 men looked at him in surprise and burst out laughing, the Junior who punched him on his side, smirked and backed him up on the wall again. "You're just a cute, poor kid, Kyungsoo. You can't do anything. I'd let you fuck me th—"
