Class was finished and I began putting my books back when two hands slammed down on my desk causing me to jump. I looked up and my eyes went wide as I saw his face dangerously close to mine. I moved backwards cautiously and stood up. He stood up straight as he realised everyone was now staring at him. He walked towards me and whispered to meet him at the back of the science lab before pushing pass my shoulder gently. Chills ran up and down my spine as I felt tears gather at the brim of my eyes. A girl walked towards me; she wasn't beautiful her looks were pretty average. She had wavy hair and glasses. Her large eyes looked at me with concern. "Are you alright? You look terrified. Did he say something horrible to you?" she asked her grip tightening on her backpack. I shook my head and took a deep breath flashing a smile at her. "Nah, it was nothing." I say. She nods still clearly suspicious. "My name's Chaerin," She smiled. I bow and introduce myself. "I'm Sohye," I say. She smiled before inviting me out to eat lunch together with her at the café. I politely accepted her offer and she dragged me out towards the café.

We were making out way towards our seats when I accidentally made eye contact with Taehyung. He was sitting at a table smirking at me eyeing my every movement. Six other men surrounded him. It seems like he's made friends pretty quickly. I tried to look away, but his piercing gaze was still on me. I could feel it. His deadly smirk too. The moment of when he tripped me up in front of the whole school and embarrassed me came back and my hands began to shake in fear. As we walked, I got more nervous and my hands started to shake furiously. I glanced at his foot which was ticking away, waiting in anticipation for when I walk over just so he can trip me up. Just as I walked past my hands gave out and I dropped my tray. Chaerin turns around and her eyes widened. "Sohye!! Are you alright?" She asked placing her tray down and rushing towards me. Taehyung sat there smirking at my shaking form. My food was scattered all over the floor. Chaerin grabbed my hands and stared at me deeply but I was still lost in thought as I felt millions of eyes glare at me. "Sohye? Sohye?! Sohye! Sohye, are you alright? Why are you shaking so much?" She asked worried. Then she glanced over in Taehyungs direction. Her glare piercing into his soul. "You. What'd you do this time? I knew you weren't any good." She hissed. Taehyung scoffed rolling his eyes and stood up hands in his pockets like the arrogant devil he his. "Are you that blind? Do you need new glasses or what? Did you see me do anything to her? I didn't even touch her! This pathetic bitch decided to drop it herself." He says walking closer towards us. Chaerin stepped back letting go of me but I still couldn't move. He turned towards me and stared at me before smirking and grabbing a handful of my hair and pulling it. I yelped in pain as he squashed my cheeks and forced me to look up at him. My tears were rolling down my cheeks like an endless waterfall. Everyone in the cafeteria was staring at us now as Chaerin gasped in shock. I looked at him his eyes glistened with pure evil.
"Lil bitch. Dropped the tray yourself. Blamed it on me?! Are you crazy?" He chuckled every word that left his lips smacked my face. I wept my legs now becoming weak.
"Look at what you did to my shoe. LOOK!" He yelled pushing my head down to look at his white shoes which now had rice and a bit of my side dishes dirtying them. I cried harder. It was hard to stop. The consequences are going to be harsh. His grip on my hair tightened as he pulled my head up to look at him.
"Hey stop it. that's abuse." I hear Chaerin yell trying to stop him but he slapped her away.
"Tch, ugly old hag. I'll deal with you after school, you know where." He says to my face before harshly letting go, almost throwing my head away from him. I fell backwards hitting the floor with a bang before hearing his scoff and walking off. As soon as he left there were murmers everywhere as I was too weak to stand up. The ceiling began spinning and my vision got blurry. The last thing I saw was Chaerin and a few of Taehyungs friends surrounding me before I passed out.

I woke up with a groan finding myself in an unsual place. It wasn't my room and it wasn't my bedsheets. I turn my head and find Chaerin sleeping in her book on the bed. I take a long look around and realised I was in the Nurses office. Unfortunately I was still at school. Once again I'm here. I didn't want to come here at all during my High school years. I wanted to avoid it, but sadly here I am lying on the hard uncomfortable bed in the room I hated most in schools and of all days I could've came here it was my first day.
"Well that's a new record." I mumble to myself before trying to sit up.
"What's a new record?" Chaerin asks yawning as she gets up as well. I chuckle shaking my head as a nothing. Suddenly I remember Taehyungs words and gasped. My hands began trembling and my breathing fastened.
"Hey, you good?" Chaerin asks staring at me worringly.
"C-C-Chaerin?" I say and she hums in response listening to me intently.
"What time is it?" I ask my voice shaking. She looked disappointed as her shoulders slumped and she let out a big sigh sitting back down in her chair.
"Oh my god. I thought you were gonna have an asthma attack. Anyways you've been here ever since lunch and school ended like one hour ago. You passed out for a long time my friend." She says patting my shoulder. My eyes widened as I heard this. I missed Taehyungs time. I'm gonna die. I wanted to let out my frustration and worries and so I turned to Chaerin only to find her getting up and putting on her bag.
"Where are you going?" I ask trying not to stammer.
"Sorry, I need to go to my after school lessons. I've already missed one staying here with you and now I need to go to my second one or else my mum will kill me. You're alright now right?" She says putting the chair back. All I could do was nod and gently force a smile. She smiles brightly showing me her cute eye smile before waving and running out quickly to her lesson.

I lay there for a while as I carelessly let fear overwhelm me. Tears began to roll down my cheek as I questioned whether I should still go or not. I wiped them away and sit up. Leaning down I grab my bag and get off the bed. Why should I go? It's high school. I should go against him. I thought to myself puffing up my chest trying to boost my confidence. I reached my hand up to my hair and ran my fingers through it. When I bought my hands back there was a whole bunch of hair entangled between my fingers. I gasped in shock as I stumble falling back onto the chair. This has happened before but not this much. He's definitely gotten stronger. I shake off the scary thought and bring myself back together. I walk out of the room and out of the school. I felt guilty for not showing up but I was so afraid that even thinking of him got me shaking. My feelings wavered as my feet began to get sore from walking. My apartment was still far away and I was getting more and more tired and hungry as time went by. Just as my mind was being invaded by food thoughts the scrumptious smell of bulgogi wafted to me and filled my senses. I turn to my left where the smell came from and right there was a restaurant. My mouth watered as I walked pass the window. I stop and check how much money I had left but unfortunately it wasn't even enough for one plate of rice at the moment. I sighed glancing back at the store once more before giving up and walking away.... At least I tried to walk away. Just as I turned my head away from the window a strong hand grabbed onto my wrist. I turn around my eyes suffused with fear. I look up at the person and my body trembles.
"You're hungry right? Come eat with us. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you... At least not here..." He says whispering the last bit close to my ear. His deep voice sent chills throughout my whole body as he dragged me roughly behind him and entered the restaurant.
