yerin was leaving school with an eye patch on, her head down and her hands in her pockets, trying to avoid anyone and everyone. she was walking towards the exit until she was shoved into the wall by the school's pride, joy and football captain, sinb. "hey, ducky." sinb said, two other football players and her girlfriend behind her. "what is it this time?" yerin asked, looking at the floor. "whoa, i don't want any problems. i just don't have time to do my homework tonight because i have football practice. do it for me?" sinb asked, putting on a smile.

usually, yerin did the work, no problem but yerin thought about it for a second and she had a midterm coming up. "i can't. i have an important test coming up and i need to study for it." she mumbled. yerin was grabbed by two of sinb's friends━moonbin and jungkook━while other students just turned a blind eye. "hey, what's up with the eye patch, girlie?" sinb asked and snatched it off of yerin's face. yerin put her head down so sinb couldn't see it but sinb forced her to look up. "oh, shit. who put their hands on you? i didn't make this one." sinb said, examining her bruised eye. it was too big to be anything sinb left on her.

"i fell into my s-sister's knee." yerin lied, her bottom lip quivering. "i don't appreciate other people marking my territory so here's a little reminder who you belong to." sinb smirked and pulled her fist back, driving it into yerin's stomach. moonbin and jungkook dropped yerin onto her knees as she wheezed for air. "sinb, stop it. i think you hit her hard enough. and you have football practice!" sinb's girlfriend━eunseo━said and grabbed sinb's hand. sinb pulled her hand from her girlfriend's grip and threw her fist at yerin's face this time. yerin fell back and let out a cry of pain. sinb leaned down so she was face to face with yerin.

"those will leave some good ones. i don't want to see anymore bruises, cuts or wounds that i haven't made on you ever again. clear? and i hope you're good with calculus." sinb dropped her calculus homework next to yerin, wrapping her arm around her girlfriend's waist and laughing with her friends as they walked away while eunseo was less than impressed.

yerin laid there, curled up in a ball and sobbing quietly. about a minute later, yerin regained enough strength to get up. once she got to her feet, she leaned against the wall for balance. yerin limped to the bathroom, ignoring the quiet laughs she heard as she walked through the hall. she looked in the mirror and saw that her lip was bleeding. she carefully wiped the cut with a paper towel and warm water. yerin sighed to herself and left school.

when yerin got home, her dad was passed out on the couch and she was thankful for that. she sighed out of relief and started cleaning up the empty beer cans around him. yerin kissed her dad on the forehead and smiled sadly before heading to her room and locking herself in there in fear of him waking up and putting his hands on her again. yerin fell asleep for a few hours and woke up to banging on her door. her stomach turned and her heart stopped. "open this god damn door before i break it down!" her dad screamed as she banged on the door.

yerin sat up on her bed, grasping her blanket tightly and crying. "please, dad...." she whispered. her dad started kicking the door until it swung open. "what did i tell you about locking doors in my house?" he yelled as he grabbed a handful of yerin's hair and made her look up at him. "d-dad, i'm so sorry. i was just-" he cut her off half way. "no! you weren't just anything! you know damn well i don't like my doors locked!" he yelled, raising his hand and lunging it at his daughter.
