another morning..

the sound of shinee's replay rang through out the room, earning a groggy groan from a very small figure. wrapped tightly beneath the velvety duvet and only cherry red hair visible. slowly moving to turn off the alarm, the boy sat upon his bed while rubbing at his eyes with small fists. despite still being tired and not wanting to leave the comfort of his bed, he slipped from under the covers. heading for his personal bathroom, he grabbed a towel and set it on the counter. taking a good look at himself in the mirror, an instant frown formed on plump red limps. hands coming up to pull at chubby cheeks.

deciding to not put himself down this morning, he stripped himself of his clothes and turned on the shower. allowing it to heat up before he climbed in. an exasperated sigh of relief falling from his lips when the steaming water touches his skin. standing beneath the shower head and watching the water cascade down his body. eyes watching the droplets roll over each red line on his tanned skin, hands going to rub over the bumpy patches of healing skin. 'why couldn't i be pretty..?' he thought to himself, tears welling in his eyes.

the salty drops rolled down his cheeks, mixing with the water that fell down onto his chest. hands clenching into fists at his sides and eyes squeezing shut, 'you're ugly, no one wants to date a fatty...' the words screamed in his mind, his father's voice ringing through his ears. feeling small, his arms wrapped tightly around his body, sniffling and shaking his head. "m my friends love me.. they c care for me.." his voice came out barely above a whisper, not even convincing himself.

it was a long shower, longer than he expected, rushing to pull on sweats and a huge black hoodie. his black vans soon followed and he made sure everything was in his bag. without making a sound with his bedroom door, he hurried down the rickety white stairs. stopping at the kitchen only to grab an apple when he heard the sound of footsteps descending the stairs. without a thought, he bolted out through the side door and hurried his way to the bus stop.

head hanging low, obvious short pants falling from shaking lips, clutching at the straps of his bookbag. glancing behind him from time to time, scared to see the black pick up truck he despised. only did he stop looking was when he reached the bus stop, a bunch of people gathered in the open area.

'another day, another morning,' he thought to himself, a quiet sigh falling from his lips. his hands soon stuffed into the pockets of his hoodies at the icey cold breeze.

finally the bus came, with a sad taeyong boarding, upset that he didn't see his bestfriend jungwoo. hoping that he just got a ride with his boyfriend and they'd meet at school. though he did hoped to see doyoung as well, but that was always out of the question. the younger would most likely miss first period and randomly show up around lunch.

he found a seat far towards the back and scooted all the way in until he pressed against the window. head hung low and not daring to look around the bus. just the sound of the loud group towards the middle of the seats was enough to let him know jaehyun rode the bus today. most likely for his bestfriend kun, who also scared the living hell out of him. even if the other was trying to be nice after helping him with his busted lips made by his friend.

sinking lower into the seat, taeyong drowned out the sound of chaos around him until they arrived at school, frown very present on his lips.

the bus parked in front of the school, opening the doors to allow everyone off and taeyong waiting to be last. watching everyone else walk off. he bid the bus driver a good day and walked off as well, walking with speed to make it to his locker. as soon as he entered the doors and turned down a hall leading to the lockers, he bumped into a broad chest. falling to the ground with a solid 'oomf'.

a laugh could be heard from above him as he tried to get to his feet, lifting a pale faced gaze up and met with the eyes of a devil. "and where do you think you are going?" the man behind the darkened hazel eyes spoke, grabbing the small male by his hoodie and lifting him up. "y'know we have to have our fun sweetheart, unless you want it five times worse at lunch," jaehyun spoke. the three males stood behind him letting out small snickers.

taeyong, who has gone through this process enough times to know only to comply is his options, stays silent as he speaks. allowing himself to be dragged off to an isolated part of the school. falling to the ground with a loud groan as a fist rammed into his stomach. the tears swelled in his eyes, swallowing back his sounds of pain as three of them took their turns to land punches and kicks against his body.

with one last harsh kick to his chest did he wheeze out, his vision slowly fading to black and hearing a loud voice boom at the end of the hallway. fully blacking out against the white tiles thay became stained from the blöôd dripping from his lips.

D'S POV

doyoung paced the hallway near taeyong's locker, noticing that ten minutes passed and that the other was never late. 'i finally show up here early to surprise him, and now he's the one not showing. great,' he thought with a loud sigh. stopping one of the students in the hall to ask if they'd seen the red haired boy. at hearing the words that he was taken off by some big guy, he started running around the school.

when his ears picked up the sound of loud thuds, he headed in that direction. the sight before him bringing his blood to a boil and clenching his fists. "get away from him!" he shouted, voice filling the hallway and causing the group to stop in their actions. they all looked behind them and took notice of a reddening doyoung. a scared kun pulling at his bestfriend's sleeve, who only jerked away from his touch.

"whatever, hope the üsèléss piece of shït chokes on his blood," jaehyun spoke only to rile doyoung up more. a teasing smirk on his lips then calling the others to follow him, giving a rough shoulder check to the other male.

doyoung stumbled back a bit before shaking his head and quickly making his way over to his bestfriend who laid unconscious on the floor. lifting him up into his arms, carrying him over to the nurse's office, only to leave him there and not show up for the rest of the day.
