"Alright Minhyung, he'll be waking up soon, do you mid resting this ice on his head until he does?"

"Sure.."

"Well, if you need anything I'll be in the teacher's lounge."

The Nurse left the two alone in silence, nothing but the small ticking of the clock echoing through out the room. Mark held the ice against Donghyuck's forehead. Mark stopped for a moment, and admired the boy laid in front of him. He wasn't just the faint risk kid of the school, he was delicate but kind, broken but so sweet. Mark didn't see this yet though, but he understood that he was different.

"M-Mark?"

"Oh, Donghyuck, you're awake."

"W-W-What happened to me?"

"Seulbi threw a ball at your head and you passed out."

"O-Oh, I'm sorry you have to be here, why don't you just go, you're going to miss Period 6."

"What did I say about apologising? And anyways, we had Math, missing that is a pleasure."

"Am I allowed to go home?"

"The nurse said you can leave once Period 6 is over, but I have to take you home, as of strict orders of Mrs. Kim"

"Do you know where I live?"

"I only just met you.."

"Oh- Yeah- I should- um- Tell-"

"Just write it down on this piece of paper."

Mark handed the boy a piece of paper and he out stretched is bruised arm to write on the piece of paper.

"Period 6 ends in 15 minutes. Is there anything you need from your locker?"

"Can you get my backpack and my sports bag? M-My books should also be on the um- top shelf."

"What's your combo?"

"2-8-9"

"You got such an easy combo, mines 30-21-19, though, don't go stealing stuff from my locker though."

Mark left Donghyuck to lie there by himself, the rough blanket material rubbing against his skin, leaving an unpleasant feeling. Donghyuck sat there for a bit, watching the clock tick by and the way the curtains flowed lightly in the wind.

"Donghyuck, I got everything. The bells will ring soon, so let's get going."

"O-Okay."

Mark carried his and the boy's bags, but still walked in front on his phone, leaving the younger behind him. He followed Mark outside to the parking lot, to find a fancy grey car in the back corner.  It was now clear to Donghyuck that mark was a rich kid, unlike himself who was in the lower side economically.

"Well, get in."

"O-Oh, um okay."

Donghyuck was more than surprised when he stepped into Mark's car, it was sleek and fancy, had screens and intricate technology, far from anything Donghyuck has owned, hes had the same phone for 6 years.

"Uhm, Donghyuck, am I going the right way? This areas, slightly, um- rough."

"No, my place is just around the corner. S-Sorry it's not fancy, it's um- not the biggest or best."

The car came up on a small building with dark colours spread across the walls. It was dark, rough, moulding, dirty. But it was home to Donghyuck, it was small for him and his little sister.

"Donghyuck-Ah!"

"Minhyuk!"

A little girl came running out of the house, she seemed to be about 7 years old. She was Haechan's little sister, Lee Minhyuk.

"Is this your sister?"

"Yeah, Minhyukie, say hello to Mark."

"Hi Markie! Are you friends with my big brother?"

"Hi Minhyuk, yes, I am his friend."

The fact that mark used 'friend' made Donghyuck's ears ring. He never though Mark thought of him as friend, he was probably just doing it for his sisters sake.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Donghyuck."

"B-Bye Mark."

Donghyuck stepped into the house a plopped onto the old couch.

"Hyuckie, why do you look like a tomato?"

"What are you talking about? Come on minnie, do you wanna help me get ready for work?"

"Does Minnie have to stay here all alone again?"

"It's okay Minnie, I won't go to work for a long time. I'll bring home a tasty snack from the restaurant. Stay in our room and do not go outside. You can play with my notebooks while I'm gone, okay?"

"Bye bye Hyuckie!"

"I'll be home soon, Minnie."
