Seungmin p.o.v

,,Seungmin! Wake up! It's already 7 a.m! School is starting in one hour! I don't want you to be late on your first day after holidays!", I heard my mom from downstairs.

With a groan I turned around in my bed and pulled the blanket over my head. I was too unmotivated to stand up. Standing up means I have to leave this house, leaving the house means I have to go to school, being in school means loneliness and I don't want to be alone. The first day of school after the summer holidays is always weird and different. Half of the people are excited to see their besties again, even though they saw them 24/7 in their free time and the other half are just super annoyed by the feeling of seeing the building and all these loud students again. Count me to the second half. School is cool, if you want to learn something, but it's useless when you don't have any friends there.

,,Kim Seungmin! I know you heard me! When you don't stand up in the next two minutes, I will throw one of your Day6 albums out of the window!", she threatened.

,,You wouldn't do that!", I screamed, while I jumped out of my bed.

,,Watch me", she answered and I panicked. I ran out of my room and stumbled down the stairs. I sprinted into the living room, where my mom stood in front of our album shelf. Thank god, she hasn't touched them yet.

While looking at my shocked expression, she began to laugh.

,,What a good start in the day. So would you do me the favor to go to the bathroom and get ready. You're already late.", her smile fainted a little bit. She knows, that I hate school, but I understand that she wants me to go there. The school decides my future.

I nodded and dragged myself to the bathroom.

After I finished my morning routine in the bathroom I went back to my room, grabbed my clothes and got dressed. I looked in the mirror to check, if my school uniform still fits. Luckily it did and I grabbed my round blach glasses from the table. Without them I was nearly blind. I don't really like them. I look nerdy with them. Someone in school even called me ugly, when I continued wearing the glasses. Okay, I don't know, if he had told me the same without the glasses, but okay. I shook my head to get rid of these thoughts. Let's think positive, Seungmin! It's the first day. Nothing bad can happen. Hopefully...

I took my bag and went to the kitchen, where my mom sat. She trunk some coffee, while staring at her phone. I hated seeing her alone. Three years ago she didn't sat alone every morning. Back then my dad was still alive and always had breakfast with us. But now we are alone. It's hard for my mum to handle a child, the household and parenthetically trying to earn money completely alone. I tried helping her whenever I had the chance, but of course I can't help with everything.

Anyways. I snatched her cup and drank a sip of the coffee. That should be enough breakfast for today.

I gave her the cup back, kissed her cheek and said "goodbye", before I ran to the door. I heard her shouting "be safe" and then I leaved the house.

I really need to hurry now. I was never that late in my life. So I began to run. The school is not far from here, so I don't have to walk for too long.

By the time I arrived at school the bell had already rung and I quietly cursed for a second.

While running through the corridors, I tried remembering where my new classroom was located. Argh, come on Seungmin! Use your head! You are so forgetful!

Without paying attention, I looked around. So it wasn't that unexpected when I bumped into someone. I just mumbled a small "sorry" and wanted to continue my search, but this dude grabbed my wrist and slapped me against the wall next to us. I screamed a little and narrowed my eyes. The fear inside me grew and my breath stopped for a second, before I continued breathing two times faster. I'm used to being beaten up, being bullied and that stuff, but every time it is about to happen I start feeling so so so small. Just so lost and helpless.
