Baekhyun is not a morning person. He does not get up early morning unless screeching alarms hit his ears. It is 6am in morning when baekhyun alarm starts ringing.

Baekhyun POV:

My alarm irritating noise wake me up from my sleep. I open my eyes observing the light of dawn that seeped into my room. I rubbed my bleary eyes and walked to the window. There was a pearly glow in the sky.

I got up from my bed did my morning routine. As soon as I finish dressing up for my school I went down to have breakfast with my parents. This is something that I never look forward to.

I went down to dinning room where my father in his office attire is reading newspaper. My father is physics professor in a college. My mom is cooking breakfast for us. She runs a souvenir shop. They both are successful individual and together they make a great pair.

The only fault they have is birthing a son like me. The floor creaking sound made them aware of my presence.

My father looked at me for a second before diverting his attention back to the newspaper. I sat on my chair which is next to mom's chair. Father sits on the middle chair since he is head of our family. Mom served us the breakfast and joined us on the dinning table.

We finished our breakfast in silence. The atmosphere in the room is not awkward but also not calm. The silence in the room is disturbed by my mom speaking, "Baekhyun I hope you have studied well for the exam today. Till middle school your marks were acceptable because we believed you are just a child. This is not the case now you are in high school now. Please don't bring shame to our name again."

It is an everyday occasion of me getting scolding by my parents and I am still not used to it. It hurts me more as day passes by that I am complete disappointment to them.

"Yes mom, I have studied well for my exam. I think I will do good." I said with my head low in a soft whisper  not meeting her eyes. I am scared to see the look in her eyes.

"YOU THINK, you have to be sure of getting full marks in exam. What can I even expect from you? Such a disappointment !" My father exhaled a long sigh after expressing his rage towards me.

"I am s-sorry f-father" with this word I took my bag and went on my way to school. I am on the verge of crying. Tears are threatening to fall from my eyes but I controlled my self.

The bus stand is walking distance from my house. I reached their in 10 min. The bus is here within 2 min. I sat on my usual spot. There are mostly students in the bus. Some are from my class. Our school starts at 7:15am and the journey from bus stand to school take 12-13min roughly. I decided to take a nap.
-----------------------------------------------------------

I reached school 5min earlier. I needed to read my destined class to give the exam. I started walking fast to reach my class soon.

I am afraid to give the paper.I am scared, I don't remember anything that I revised yesterday. I am feeling like running away from here, it's like living my nightmare.

I reached my class my friends were sitting in their seat. My friend Jongdae saw me and gave me a little smile. I returned it to him with a nod and crescent eyes.

I took my seat. In front of him is sitting 2nd topper of our class Kyungsoo. He is very intelligent and a nice person. He only has one friend in the entire school i.e. Chanyeol who alway rank 1st in class.

Our teacher was distributing the paper. She gave me the question paper. I went through all the questions on the paper. These all are the one I studied. I am glad.

I started solving the paper, first question was done within few minutes. I moved on to second but I cannot remember how to solve the second question. I started panicking but I tried to calm myself. I skipped it started solving the third one. Suddenly i cannot remember anything. I thought mom and dad are right I am truly useless good for nothing. My throat tightening I took short intake of breath. Nothing seems to work. I was crying while solving my paper. For next three hours without giving up I solved what I could remember. In between I took many deep breaths to calm my self.

After the bell rang signaling the time up. Teacher started collecting the answer sheet. After submitting the paper I ran out of the class. I could hear someone calling my name. I ignored it I don't want anyone to see me like this. A disappointment, a failure of a son, useless person who is good for nothing. I will run away go somewhere where no can see me.

Third Person POV

Sitting on left side of Baekhyun is Chanyeol who is confident that he will ace the exam. When teacher handed out the paper to him he started solving right away without wasting  any second.

He is bright student. He may seem cold but he is actually just shy to approach anyone. Thatswhy he only has one friend in the whole school which is Kyungsoo and vise versa. They share the same interest and have similar mindset related to some topic. They both click very well together.

Chanyeol is very diligently solving his paper when he hears some sniffling sound. He is getting disturbed by it. He tried to ignore it but the sound did not die down. Giving up he started searching for the source of the sound.

When he saw the source of the sound he is suprised to see his classmate Baekhyun who is considered as a cheerful but silent is crying so hard. He observed how baekhyun is trying so hard to pull himself together which does not seem to work. He is labour breathing. It appears to Chanyeol that something wrong is going on  with Baekhyun.

Chanyeol is confused whether he should help Baekhyun or concentrate on the paper. He came to a conclusion to finish his paper first then he will talk to Baekhyun if he is comfortable to share it with him. He will help Baekhyun if it's possible for him to do so.
  
Chanyeol is solving his paper but he could not help stealing some glance at baekhyun to make sure he is ok. Which is completely opposite he is not ok.
    
When the bell rings he submit the answer sheet to the respective teacher and then he look for Baekhyun who is not in his seat. He saw baekhyun leaving through the class door.

Chanyeol hurriedly took his belongings and ran behind baekhyun. He called his name but baekhyun did not stop.

Chanyeol saw baekhyun going on school terrace. Baekhyun is climbing the steps in a hurry wiping his tears with the sleeves of his shirt.

Chanyeol followed him too. When he reached the top he saw Baekhyun who is standing on the edge of the building. Chanyeol sensed Baekhyun intention. He is trying to commit sucide.
