"Hello guys~ Welcome to 2020, a new year and a new class for the year. I am your teacher for the whole year and you guys can call me Mr Lee"

The students whisper to each other, especially the girls because of how handsome the teacher was.

Lee Taeyong. 25 years old and a new teacher in Neo High. He was already well known in this school because of belonging in the famous group NCT.

They were famous in town, no, in the entire country. Why?

Well.. no one knows. It always remains a mystery.

Except for one student in that room. He knew everything Lee Taeyong was capable of... and he despised it.

He hated that group.

His fists clench, as Taeyong looks at him, with the same smirk he gave when he killed his family.

Walking towards the boy, Taeyong takes a chair, sliding it in front of the boy's table, sitting down and placing his arms on the table.

"Long time no see... Donghyuk" He says, making the purple haired boy look at him with eyes that could kill.

"What do you want?"

"Ohhh you sure got brave since the last time I saw you little boy"

"Just get to the point. It's hard enough that I have to see your face every day"

Taeyong licks his lips, smirking. "I think you know what we want from you"

"I already told you. I'm not joining you"

Taeyong grabs Donghyuk's tie, pulling him close with strong force, causing their foreheads to clash into one another. "You think you can keep on saying no to the offer? Aren't you being disrespectful to the people who saved you from hell"

"They were my parents!"

"Parents aren't people who ABUSE you Donghyuk!" Taeyong growls, but Donghyuk doesn't move a single inch.

"What do you know? What do you know about my life?"

Leaning back, Taeyong lets go of Donghyuk, crossing his arms.

"You have no where to go. You're too old for an orphanage and people see you as easy bait to use you as free child labour just so you have a shelter. Do you really want to live like this? Don't you want to join us? The people who can give you everything you wanted"

"If you guys didn't kill my parents, I wouldn't be in this situation."

"Uhmmm Mr Lee?"

They both look towards the door, seeing a petite girl holding a bunch of books in her arms.

"The principal told me to give these to you" she says, walking towards them and placing the books on Donghyuk's table.

"Thank you"

"No problem, bye Mr Lee" she says, bowing and walking out of the classroom.

"Jung Sarang..." Taeyong mummbles, catching Donghyuk's attention as he watches Taeyong staring intensely at the door that the girl left.

Donghyuk places the brakes off his bike, riding it to his home.

Although he didn't have any family left, he had great relationship with the land lord lady and she gladly offered a place for him to stay in.

She practically became his new mum.

Placing his bike against the wall, pushing the brake down he goes inside, placing his bag on the floor and laying immediately on the mattress.

"Stupid Lee Taeyong. Stupid NCT." He mummbles to himself as he covers his eyes, falling asleep.

The next day -- School

"Hello Donghyuk"

Donghyuk rolls his eyes, sitting on the chair and increasing the volume of his music.

Taeyong chuckles softly and slams his hands on the table in front of him multiple times.

"Alright guys! Quiet!" He orders, causing the noisy classroom to be dead silent.

"Let's start the lesson, shall we?"

Placing his lunch box down on the table, Donghyuk opens it up and was about to eat, but he saw a figure sitting in front of him.

He looks up, with the same deadly look to see a boy... similar to his age that almost resembled a bunny.

"Do you need something."

"This seat isn't taken, is it?" The bunny boy asks and Donghyuk shakes his head, eating his lunch.

Silence filled the table, awkward silence for the boy but not for Donghyuk. He loved silence.

"Uhm.. so what do you like?" The boy asks and Donghyuk looks up, looking at the guy's nametag that read 'Na Jaemin'.

"Look, Jaemin. You seem like a good kid but I have no intention in making any friends in this school." Donghyuk states, closing his lunch box.

"Why not?" Jaemin asks innocently, only to get a response that made him feel shivers down his spine. "Because friends are the ones that end up laughing at your misfortunes, only being willing to claim to be your friend once you're successful."

Donghyuk leaves the table, walking out of the cafeteria.

It wasn't that he said something creepy or scary, but the way he said it made Jaemin just get an eerie feeling from him. As if Donghyuk hated his own kind.
