The night when I lost my mother was a tragic night. I loved her with all of my soul and heart it was hard to let go of someone who cared for you. From that night things have changed. I'm only left with a father who no longer took care of me, he turned into a monster that only cares for alcohol and cigarettes.

A gloomy afternoon, the sun shines through the café window where I work at. The café and school was the only place to escape from reality. I'm now on break, Leaning against the brown colored wall outside of the shop smoking a cigarette I stole from my dad to keep myself relaxed. "You know those are bad for you right?"

I look up to see a tall brown colored hair boy with soft features giving me a judging look. "I smoke when I want too it keeps me relaxed." He kneel down to my height looking me into the eyes. "How so?" He questioned. I didn't want to be bothered, I burned out the butt of the cigarette and threw it away returning to the shop. He's still following me.

"Do you want something?" I asked in annoyance. "I'm just here for a cup of coffee, mind serving me? I rolled my eyes at him heading my way to the cashier waiting for him to say his order. "A medium iced caramel macchiato please." I told him the total and he gave me exact change. Oh the feeling of receiving exact change is satisfying. "Wait for a little I'll be back with your drink."

While making his drink I thought how weird it was for a person going up to a stranger and warning them about smoking. He is quite unique in a way to speak up his mind. "Here's your drink sir enjoy." I bluntly said as I pass him his drink. "You got a name little one?" He spoke up giving a curious look at me. "The name is Nina, yours?"

"It's Yunho your name seems familiar, do I go school with you perhaps?" To think about it I've heard his name before but I don't see him around or maybe because I am a introvert. "Ah yes you have the same class as me! You don't speak often don't you?" I shook my head. There was a moment of silence until he finally spoke up. "I hope I get to see you around more often then, bye Nina." He waves bye at me leaving the shop.

"He's weird." I muttered

My shift is finally over, closing shifts are by far the worse. You have to clean up everything and sort everything out so the morning shift people can start off the day. I start my journey walking home and listening to some music, I love being by myself it's more peaceful in a way.

I arrived home unlocking my door to see my dad drinking on the couch consuming his 10th beer bottle. "Hey! What took you so to get home huh?! Give me your tip." He shouted at me. I honestly had enough of his actions and decided to up my courage to talk back to him. "Father this is my money that I earned you can't just take it away!" I made a mistake he was furious. He charge towards me and yanked my jacket to get my tip out. "You bitch! Don't disrespect your father like that!." He took the tip and stuff it into his pocket later on receiving a slap from him including a beer bottle to my head.

I dashed away from him heading to the bathroom to clean the blood off of my face and bandaging it. I sob on the floor wondering why has my life have gone to this? We were a perfect family. The feeling of being loved was gone. I pick myself up from the floor and took a bath getting ready for bed. I was too tired from school and work that I quickly drifted off to dreamland.

6:00AM~
I woke up to get myself ready for school. I was already dressed and ready to head out, I tried to avoid my father as much as possible. He kept on trying to apologize again for his actions. My father has bipolar issues I understand but I get hurt way too much to accept his apology.

I made my way to the café to get my usual, matcha latte and a sconce to start off my day. "Hey Namjoon! The usual please."

"Of course Nina, what happen to your face? Is it your dad again?" I sign knowing how I have bandaids all around my face to cover up all the scratcher. "Ah yes but no worries okay?" He nodded and gave me my goods. I waved to him goodbye. "It's such a nice day." I mumbled to myself.

"Is that you Nina?!" I turn to see the one and only Yunho. Me being the introvert I am I ran away from him but that didn't stop him. He quickly runs up to me and second later he's walking besides me. "You know you're quite slow." I didn't even say a thing I tried to hide my face. "Why are you hiding? Am I too handsome?"

"Oh please you wish." I said with a pinch of sass. We were walking to school together, we are having small conversations to get to know each other better. I felt annoyed with him being so friendly I'm not used to a person being like this.

"Finally we're at hell." Yunho said while frowning. "It was nice talking to you see you later." I tried to walk off but he grabbed my wrist causing me to face him. His eyes got big when he examine my face.

"N-Nina what happened?"
