Simon's Game |nct 127|

13th Mission: Completed

"Hahaha that's so funny Jaehwan!" Seolhyun pointed out as she had one of her hands wrapped around Haechan's arm.

"I know...probably Hyuck doesn't understand it though, as he didn't even bother showing up to school these past three days."

But Haechan didn't answer to him, he was looking at the ground, walking silently with them.

"Is everything alright baby?" Seolhyun asked. "You seem down."

"Yeah Hyuck are you ok?" Youngjae asked while all of them headed outside of the school.

"Pff let him be guys." Jaehwan said. "He probably lost at some stupid game or something and is moody because of that."

Yeah, right. Haechan would have wished that this was the case.

Seolhyun laughed. "You're probably right Jae, is that it baby?"

This was it. His breaking point. Haechan couldn't take it anymore.

"BUT HAECHAN! THEY DON'T DESERVE YOU! IF YOU KNOW THE TRUTH THEN WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE THEM?!"

Mark was right, but Haechan realized it too late.

"It's Haechan." The boy answered steadily and quietly. "Haechan." He clenched his fist.

"What?" Seolhyun asked.

"I SAID IT'S HAECHAN!" He looked up and shook Seolhyun's hand off his arm. His eyes were shiny and tears started collecting again on both of them. Tears of frustration and sadness.

"Woah Hyuck chill-"

"Shut the fuck up Jaehwan." Haechan clapped back.

"Haechan." Youngjae laughed. "Why are you so angry man?"

"My hand..." Seolhyun pouted and touched it carefully.

"Are you ok Seolhyun?" Jaehwan came next to her and examined her hand. He then looked Haechan angrily. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!" He shouted strictly.

"I..." Haechan spoke weakly, his voice quiet, almost inaudible.

"IS THIS FUNNY TO YOU?!"

"IS THIS WHY YOU ALWAYS SMILE HUH?! IS THAT IT?! DO YOU FIND OUR MISERY ENJOYABLE?!"

These words...these two sentences replayed in his head right now.

"No...no...I'm sorry...no..." Haechan thought to himself and looked straight at Jaehwan.

His body froze, his eyes were wide open and empty. Only one emotion overwhelmed Haechan at that exact moment.

And that emotion, was fear.

"I tried to understand your situation but my patience is running low!" Jaehwan shouted and grabbed Haechan's collar.

"Man stop!" Youngjae shouted.

"Why do you seem so scared Hyuck?" Jaehwan asked and smiled. "Weren't you shouting earlier?"

Haechan couldn't move. For some reason his whole body was trembling. He felt weak.

"Hey Jaehwan I think that's enough." Seolhyun said.

"I'm done playing the good guy." Jaehwan said. "Hyuck- Oops sorry I meant Haechan." He laughed sharply. "I was trying to be kind because of your situation, because I know that your parents hate you." He let Haechan's collar. "But I hate you too."

"I HATE YOU!"

Jaehwan continued. "In fact all of us do." He looked at him strictly. "Maybe there's a reason why everyone despises you so much Haechan, have you ever thought about it this way?"
