Just when I thought nothing could go any better he decided to show up in my life. I don't know if I should be thankful for him being there saving my life or just be mad because there is literally nothing other than him in my life I should live for.

With his words echoing in my head, I can't help but fall for him even more every time he does anything like this but also cannot deny that this is toxic. He cannot become mine ever nor is my presence in his life doing any good to him instead I am only creating more anguish for him. I want to run away but he is my only hope, the only ray of sunshine in my life which can save me.

Why are you being so nice to me? Why are you not letting me quit? Why do you show up every time like the first ray of the breaking dawn restoring my faith in life even though I know it's temporary.

Standing at the main gate, both of my hands holding the strap of my bag, I look up at the large architecture in front of me. Letting out a deep sigh I began mustering up all my courage to walk inside the hell hole, my school. After tolerating 3 years of pure torture and humiliation the time was finally here when I would go away from this place where I had absolutely lost myself. But I still had 2 months to go till that time to come.

As soon as I stepped inside, I felt the glares of disgust and mockery stabbing me deep into my soul.

"Her dad ran away with his mistress"
338Please respect copyright.PENANAD1dwR9jpBw
"Father with such character, I wonder how the daughter would be"
338Please respect copyright.PENANAxfl1pKRJ92
I was making my way walking through all those malicious comments
338Please respect copyright.PENANAyTxRvphqeG
"Girl with loose character and a tight… hahahahaha"

Is it my fault that my dad had an affair? He left me and my mom to struggle on our own and I even have to face all of this now. I hate that man.

I was climbing up the stairs when a bunch of boys just blocked my way.
"Hey is it true that your dad left you and your mom huh?" one of the goons said, bending a bit tilting his head to see my face while I had my head bent down in my efforts to avoid eye contact and if possible even their existence.

He didn't seem to give me way so I tried lifting my head up only to meet the eyes of another boy standing behind the bully staring at me. Jung Hoseok.
338Please respect copyright.PENANAX7v8m0MnxG
Our eyes met and I just forgot everything. His eyes were so deep that I ceased to remember anything which had happened to me so far, all I could understand at that time was that he was there in front of me.
338Please respect copyright.PENANA3ONab5bwgs
The bell rang and then those boys just rushed towards their classroom, so did Hoseok. I was just standing there, watching him go away. He turned, looked at me again then tilted his head in disappointment and went inside his classroom.

After suffocating through 3 hours of glares and judgements it was finally the break time. I had no friends left by my side. Ever since that incident all of those whom I could even remotely claim to be as friends just abandoned me like a lifeless object with no feelings.

For a momentary escape from my misery I used to go to the rooftop of the school building, from where the view of the lively city seemed even more beautiful. Even though it was for the time being, that sight made me forget the distress I was in. For some reason the hustle and bustle made me feel some type of way, that the world doesn't stop no matter what. That used to restore the hope in me.

"H- hey", a familiar voice interrupted my trance
338Please respect copyright.PENANASepgXFkcH1
I turned around to see it was Hoseok.
338Please respect copyright.PENANA6zAHKkQeGe
Why did he come here? And why is he talking to me?
338Please respect copyright.PENANAUF62P6OJk1
Everytime I faced him, his eyes told me a different story, like it had something hidden deep inside them.
338Please respect copyright.PENANAKsbKRnHZcN
"H- hi" I replied back.
338Please respect copyright.PENANAuDZDnG22zp
"Had your lunch?" he said, having his left hand in the pocket, rubbing his neck with his right hand trying hard to avoid the eye contact.
"No" I replied "I am not hungry"
338Please respect copyright.PENANAXhiiyuHAp0
I lied, but what else do I do? I can't tell him that right now we can't afford a 4 time meal and I am desperately looking for a part time job.
338Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0L0NFGYco
"Here" he said, forwarding me an energy bar. His eyes were still skimming in every direction other than mine.
338Please respect copyright.PENANAF5XQXZyzwo
"It's okay, you don't need to," I said even though I would have inhaled the entire bar in a whip.
338Please respect copyright.PENANA7qZ6sPlWr1
He walked forward, took my hand in his and handed me the bar and left immediately.
338Please respect copyright.PENANArLcj8MuHrm
Why are you like this? And why are you doing this? You are so perfect and popular that you can actually avoid me like trash then why are you being so caring towards me?
338Please respect copyright.PENANAxGQ4gGayQN
After the school was finally over I walked back home with a heavy baggage on my shoulders, literally. I haven't had any food since last night other than the energy bar. I think had it not been it I would have been lying somewhere fainted. Throughout my way back home I couldn't help but think about Hoseok. The same question was bothering me again and again. I then finally reached home. I wanted to see my mom, I wanted to hug her so that I could avoid all the bad thoughts that were piled up in my heart.

"Mom, I'm home"
338Please respect copyright.PENANAmVYTJdoX8o
I began looking for her, but she was nowhere to be found. My anxiety was at its peak and I was trying my best not to panic.
338Please respect copyright.PENANA9XzqIwWSlw
So far all I had faced was being deserted and that fear was eating me little by little every moment until I would have been able to find my mom. I sat on a chair in the hall / living room / dining room or whatever you would call that space, to catch a breath just when I saw a note. I thought she must have gone out to get some fresh air because that was all that we could afford. I took the note and started to read it.
