OVER THE EDGE||CHANGJIN

*TW
Homophobic slurs, cussing.

Changbin sobs as the car speeds down the highway out of town. Hyunjin glances at him in worry, one hand on the steering wheel and the other rubbing Changbin's thigh comfortingly.

Changbin leans his head against the window and watches through the blur of tears as signs and lights fly by, this time without the usual rush of joy from the high speed.

Sniffling, Changbin's tears die down, and exhaustion takes over his mind.

Letting out one more tear before falling into a deep slumber.

Changbin rushed to jump out of the window as his door is slammed off of its hinges.

Hyunjin is standing on the grass while holding Changbin's luggage, yelling for Changbin to just jump.

"I'll catch you!"

Just as Changbin tries to pull his leg through the window, someone grabs hold of his ankle.

Kicking the hand away, Changbin closes his eyes and does a quick trust fall. A yelp leaves the short boy as he is held firmly in Hyunjin's arms.

"C'mon! We have to run!" Hyunjin yelled.

Everything is so loud.

Hyunjin and Changbin take off down the empty street, neighbors stuck their heads out their windows and doors, trying to figure out what all of the yelling is about.

"Get back here you faggots!"

Hyunjin rushes into his car after opening the door for Changbin.

"For such an old man, he sure is speedy." Hyunjin spoke as he saw Changbin's grandfather running up to his car with a long metal bat.

Hyunjin throws Changbin's bag into the backseat just as Changbin's grandfather smacks his door with the metal bat.

Changbin and Hyunjin yelp.

"Well that's gonna leave a mark!" Hyunjin pouts before flooring it down the street.

Then everything is quiet.
