The next morning, Beomgyu woke early in the morning, not wanting to upset his parents by sleeping in. He jumped into the shower and let the water run through his hair and down his back. 

After 10 minutes, he jumped out and wrapped his towel around his waist, walking back out into his bedroom before he heard a bang on his door.

"I-I'm up! I'll be down soon", he called, trying to keep his voice steady. 

"Good, now hurry up"! His father snapped before walking away. Beomgyu felt tears already filling his eyes as he hurried to get dried and dressed, grabbing his school things and heading downstairs. 

"M-morning"... He spoke, seeing his mother in the kitchen. His mother didn't turn to him and kept doing what she was. 

"I-I'll see you after school", Beomgyu whispered before walking out of the house. He didn't live far from school so he would get early without anyone being around. 

As Beomgyu walked through the street, he caught sight of 4 boys on the other side of the street but one caught his attention and Beomgyu's eyes widened. His mind went to the blonde hair male he had seen the night before. 

"H-he's who I saw last night"... He whispered. The male turned to him and caught his eye and Beomgyu quickly looked away and sped up, hearing the group cross to his side. 

"Leave me alone please"... he whispered. He was grabbed slightly and turned around, coming face to face with the blonde haired boy. 

"I recognize you"... he whispered. Beomgyu could smell alcohol and smoke running off the boy and he nearly gagged. 

"What's your problem? Did I scare you"? 

"C-can you let me go"? Beomgyu asked softly. The boy chuckled and released him.

"Scaredy cat"... He mumbled and Beomgyu turned and bolted to school, getting into the school gate and gasped for air as he slowed down. 

"W-why did he just let me go"? He asked himself. He never thought a drug addict would let anyone go when asked so Beomgyu was really confused. But he decided to push it aside and walked into the school.
