"You're doing this all wrong!" the man yelled, keeping himself at the middle of the staircase to maintain distance.

Monster Jaemin really wanted to kill something at the moment, thinking about how they should've gone after Yukhei and killed him once and for all. But now he's back, and he's being a bother again.

"You shouldn't be bashing your monsters... you need to forgive them," Yukhei said loudly, looking between them all and noticing how bad the circumstances were playing out. "Forgive yourselves."

Jeno heard the words, but a loud ringing noise filled his ears as red clouded his vision. All he could feel was wetness pouring down his head and onto the floor, but even that feeling soon vanished until he went numb.

And just like that, Jeno was out like a light.

"Jeno! My precious baby, are you ready for school?" the lively woman asked, putting her son's book bag on his back and fixing his hair. The dark haired kid smiled, secretly nervous to start school at a new elementary building, but he needed to face his fears.

"I'm ready!"

His mom smiled and pinched his cheeks, finding her kid just adorable in his little uniform and fixed up hair. Jeno stood tall and rocked on his feet, his mom fueling his confidence.

"Good, because the bus is here," she smiled and pat his back, walking to the door and opening it for her growing boy. It always hurt her heart to see her son enter a new grade, but that was just a part of life.

Jeno hugged his mom tightly and she smiled brighter than a thousand suns. "Have a great day at school, my darling."

The cute kid nodded and ran towards the bus, waiting for the door to open before he stepped up and waved to his mom. When he entered fully, he turned around and was met with a bunch of staring kids. The nervousness suddenly kicked in again, Jeno freezing and looking frantically for someone to sit by.

But thank god something in the universe was listening, because a boy with a spastic nature, violently waved the kid over. Jeno's smile returned, making his eyes curve in the process while he made his way over.

"Hi!" the boy said, scooting over to make room for a Jeno and his book bag.

"Hello," Jeno smiled and looked at the boy. He had a very adorable face, hair as dark as midnight and eyes round and cute.

"What's your name? I'm Changmin, nine, and fifth grade" the boy said overly cheery, lifting the atmosphere.

"I'm Jeno, seven and in third grade."
