Running from his bullies at 7:30 in the morning had become a norm for Na Jaemin. Whether that was a good or bad thing, he wasn't sure. He was sure, though, that he had to keep running to the history classroom because he knew that his teacher always arrived early. His panting and the pounding of his feet against the tiled floor is all that Jaemin could hear. That along with the shouts and hollers of the 3 boys that were chasing him. 3 may not seem like a lot- but it was more than what Jaemin had. Having only 1 friend, Zhong Chenle, was already a teasing spot in itself. But the fact that his only friend was a year younger, made him feel just that much more alone. The only time the two could really talk was the weekends and during lunch.

"Come back here you pink haired pansy!" Jaemin rolls his eyes at the echoing insult. It was old and didn't really affect him anymore, but they still used it. But hearing that also meant that Jaemin had run faster, which was fine with him seeing as the history classroom was right around the corner. He skids across the floor and makes a sharp right, almost running into his history teacher, Mr. Kim Doyoung.

"Woah woah, slow down there Jaemin. What's gotten into you? You look like you've seen a ghost." Doyoung says, putting his arms out to stop the boy.

"Sorry- I- was- in- a- rush- because-" Jaemin pants between each word, trying to catch his breath.

"Hey Pinkie Pie! Where are you!" A voice calls from the around the hall where Jaemin just came from.

"Oh lord is it those boys again?" Doyoung puts a hand on his student's shoulder, Jaemin only nods. He's still too winded to talk. "Alright, well come into my room. I can talk to them if you wish."

"No it's ok...I just need to rest for a bit." Jaemin says, standing up straight.

"Hm..alright. Well come on in and get settled at your desk. You have me first period anyways." Doyoung opens his classroom door and leads the teenager inside. They watch as the three bullies walk past, still seeking out the pink haired boy. "I still wonder why those three always bully you. I mean, Lee Jeno, Park Jisung, and Mark Lee. Those three aren't known for being bad students." Doyoung sits at his desk, opening his computer.

Jaemin sighs and slumps down in his chair at the back of the classroom. "Yeah well that's the point. They're too charming to think badly of. Plus I'm the only one they go after, and I don't even know why." Doyoung only hums in response.

Jaemin sits and stares out the window, waiting for the other students to come in and for school to officially start. As class came closer, Jaemin decided to take a nap. He needed to conserve his energy anyways, because as soon as school was out, he would be running from his bullies once more.
