I woke up with a strong banging headache. Memories from the day before flooded into my head as I felt my mouth dry up. I groan heading towards the bathroom to get ready for school. Skipping breakfast, I left the apartment, only to be met with him again. My eyes widened as he stared me down. He frowned walking towards me and I shut my eyes tight. Even though he had saved me, I wasn't grateful. Why should I be grateful to someone who's tortured me for most of my life and saved me only once? My body trembled as I felt his warm breath dangerously close to my ear.
"No thank you?" He whispered and I stayed silent my eyes still shut tight waiting for the pain to hit. I wept silently as I felt his large hands go up my shaking legs. He tugged on my skirt pulling it down lower.
"If you're not gonna thank me at least look after yourself." He says standing up properly and eyeing me down. I looked up at him confused before he smirked and headed off.
"Don't wear your skirt so high." He says to me one last time before disappearing. I looked down and found he had pulled up my skirt so it reached just over my knees. My body started feeling strange at his words and strange actions but I immediately brushed it off. He did this before too, act kind, get me to lower my guard a little then throw me around and break me. I let out a shaky breath before leaving the apartment building and heading to school.

As soon as I entered the classroom everyone fell silent. I nervously went towards my desk and placed my bag down as whispers arose. I sighed seeing Charin walk towards me with a bright smile, her glasses hanging on the lower bridge of her nose.
"Heyyyy Sohye," She says taking the empty seat in front of me. I weakly smile at her before looking away.
"So, how do you feel?" She asked tilting her head to the side. I faced her and smiled before speaking; "I'm fine." Chaerin smiled gently as her eyes inspected my face. But that smile quickly vanished as her view traveled further and landed on my neck. I look at her confusingly as I try to stare at my own neck. She frowned grabbing my hand and dragging me out of the class.
"Hey, Chaerin what are you doing? Calm down! Where are we going?" I endlessly ask as she kept walking ignoring everyone in the hallway. Ultimately we made it and she dragged me into the girls bathroom.
"What do you want?!" I yell at her confused and mad. She didn't say anything but pointed to the mirror behind me. I frown and turned around staring at my own face.
"What?" I ask, seeing as my face was perfectly fine and showed no sign of anything from yesterday.
"Your neck is what." Chaerin says coldly. My eyes moved downwards landing at my pale neck. How did I not realise this? It's actually kinda obvious. Marking my neck were purple bruises. My eyes widened as my brain cells raced trying to figure out a way to solve it.
"What happened?" Chaerin asked, her face telling me that she assumed it was Taehyungs doing. I shake my head unwilling to tell her.
"What do I do?" I ask in despair as she sighed. She moved forwards and lifted up my collar so I looked like some Dracula. 
"It looks weird but I guess that's the only way you can hide it right now." She says stepping backwards. I turn around and stare right back at the mirror sighing.
"Lets go." Chaerin says stepping out of the bathroom. I hung my head low embarrassed as we moved through the coridoors without saying a word to one another. Once reaching the classroom, I accidentally bumped into Chaerins back. She stood firm and tensed up at the doorway as I apologized to her, but she seemed as though she was in her own world as her eyes glared at a certain human in the class. I peeked over her shoulder and eyed the whole room trying to see who got her so mesmerised. Finally my eyes landed on him. Kim Taehyung.
His pretty eyes shifted from Chaerin to me immediately and he cocked his head to the side getting up off of his seat. I cowered behind Chaerin as she stood firm in her stance. But he just effortlessly pushed her away, forcing her into the class. He towered above as my body begins to tremble in fear again.
"Come." He says nudging my shoulder and walking out. I take a deep breath before following him out, clueless of where I was going, like a lost puppy.

He stopped walking once reaching the back of the science lab. 
"W-What are you-" I got cut off by fear as he turned around and stepped towards me. My back achingly hit the wall as my eyes shut tight. I could feel his warm breath tingly my neck as his long fingers reached out towards my collar.
"Idiot. You look like some vampire." He mumbles setting my uniform back to normal. I open my eyes slightly to see him get something out of his bag. He pulled out a silky white scarf and placed it gently around my neck. His finger tips were soft as they gently caressed my neck and his hands were gentle. He tucked the scarf in and stepped back looking at me.
"That should do it. You look better like this." He says smiling. That box smile. I haven't seen it in years. He flashed it to me once for a split second before showing the sickly smirk again. Taehyung grabbed his school bag and swung it over his shoulder as he walked to class. Even the way he walked was strong, I thought as the bell rang indicating that class has started.
