No one POV.

Jeongin woke up throbbing in pain. He had fallen asleep on the floor in the same position he was in last night. He slowly got up feeling pain shoot throughout his whole body.

He slowly got off the floor and pulled his pants up while looking at the time. It was 7:10. He took a shower and got dressed.

Once ready he hurriedly went down stairs and out the door not wanting to run into his father. He started his walk, his body aching with every step.

He reached the gates and went in the school brightening up the slightest bit when he saw his best friend at his locker. He just went up and hugged him from behind startling him a bit.

The startled boy turned around to see his best friends face shoved against him. 

"Hey innie, are you ok darling?" Seungmin asked worry laced in his voice. He saw the bruise on his face and his tear stained cheeks.

Jeongin slowly nod his head but they both knew that was a lie. "Just need a hug please." Jeongins voice was barely audible but Seungmin heard him.

Seungmin pulled him closer and ran his fingers through the sad boys hair. They didn't even care who was looking or the weird stares they were receiving.

They were just so wrapped up in their own safe world where no one could hurt them. They had been friends since second grade and They felt more like brothers then anything else.

They were so immersed in eachother that they didn't even realise someone staring at them so intently.

The person who was staring was non other than bang chan. He couldn't help but glare at Seungmin and the way he got to hold the younger so close.

The truth was chan had the biggest crush on jeongin. He just didn't know how to express his feelings or how to handle them so he retorts to bullying.

He felt like that was the only way he could interact with the younger. He knows he's hurting the younger with his words but anytime he has tried being nice to him, jeongin thinks its a prank to humiliate him somehow.

He had known jeongin since third grade and have always gave him a hard time.

He feels bad but he knows that the younger will never like him back. Chan sighs and walks to class while trying not to stare at jeongins cute little form.

Seungmin and jeongin finally let go once they heard the five minute warning bell so they start walking to class.

For the whole class period jeongin was cuddled up against seungmins arm just wanting to be as close to him as possible.

They didnt have the next class together but Seungmin reassured him that he would be ok.

Jeongin became anxious in the middle of second period. He could feel eyes staring into the back of his head and already knew who it was.

"Ok class I am going to give you your partners for the class project." Jeongin sighed and crossed his fingers that he wouldnt get chan.

"Chan and minho." Jeongin let go of the breath he was holding in but felt a big wave of dread wash over him when he heard who he was partnered with.

"Jeongin and changbin." Changbin was chans best friend. They had never talked to eachother before but he assumed he would be just of an ass if he was chans friend.

Once the bell finally rang jeongin got up and immediately started walking to the cafeteria. Once half way he was stopped by someone tugging at his back-pack.

He turned around to see an out of breath changbin. "Damn kid you walk fast. Or maybe I just have short legs." Changbin finally caught his breath and began to speak again.

"So since we're partners and all can I have your number so we can meet up and do it?" Jeongin was surprised to say the least. Changbin was being really nice and not like chan at all.

"Uh ya sure." Changbin smiled and handed jeongin his phone. After he was done changbin did something he wasn't expecting in the least.

He pulled jeongins shoulder so that their shoulders were touching and he snapped a picture of them. Jeongin didnt even have time to smile or anything.

"Aw you look so cute. Ok well I'll see you later partner." Changbin smiled at the frozen boy and walked off.

Jeongin finally snapped out of it and continued walking to the lunch room. He spotted Seungmin and cuddled into his side right when he sat down.

They stayed like that for the rest of lunch until the bell rang. Jeongin was happy that he had the rest of his classes with Seungmin.

The day went by really fast after lunch and once home jeongin plopped down on his bed mentally and physically exausted.

He layed there for a few more minutes until he realised how quiet it was in the house. He would usually hear his dad playing his trashy music or him walking around or something, anything. But nope it was completely silent.

He got up and went downstairs but he didn't see anyone. He went in the garage and his dads car was gone. He sighed out of relief and went back in the house and went to the kitchen.

He got out some lucky charms and a bowl and spoon and went to the fridge for milk and noticed a note on the door that read.

"Jeongin I will be gone for a few days for business. I left some money on the coffee table for food. Be good and take care of yourself. Love dad."

Jeongin was more than excited. He could finally get a break and wouldn't have to live in so much fear. Well only for a couple of days but at least it was something.

He made his cereal and took his sweet time, enjoying every bite. Once done he washed his bowl and put it in the dishwasher.

He went up stairs and felt really tired all of a sudden so he decided to take a nap.

~ 3 hours later~

Jeongin woke up rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. He checked the time and it was already 7:30pm. He looked over at his desk and remembered that he didn't do his homework so he groggily got up to go do it.

Once he was finished it was already 8:30 and he felt really hungry so he went downstairs and checked the fridge but couldnt find anything.

He also checked the cabinet to see if there was anything he could make but to no avail. He decided he would just use the money his dad left him and walk to the convenience store.
