part ten

taehyun's dad brought the knife closer to his son, and as the boy tried to get away, the man cut his face. his left cheek.

the black haired boy gasped and when his dad turned around to see that his mom was crying, taehyun quickly pushed the man off himself and ran to his room.

he pulled out a big bag from under the bed, and went to his closet. he grabbed a few of his clothes, some of then getting a little bit bloody as the cut on his cheek was bleeding dripping on his arm. but he didn't care.

he packed the things he needed and went downstairs. he didn't even say anything to his parents, why would he? he grabbed the backpack which was on the floor in the kitchen, a tissue to try and stop the bleeding.

he ran to the bus stop. just ran, one leg after another, and he didn't stop until he reached the stop, impatiently waiting for the vehicle to come.

when it did he got on it and sat down at the back just to exhale the breath he didn't even know he was holding.

taehyun
are you home now beomgyu?

the black haired boy texted his friend, beomgyu, because he didn't know where else he could go. kai's parents never let anyone come over, so that's why beomgyu was his only opotion.

the older texted back a minute later.

beomgyu
yes, why

taehyun
can i come over?

beomgyu
yeah sure, when will you be here?

taehyun
10 minutes maybe

beomgyu
okay i'll be in front of the building

beomgyu waited outside playing on his phone, when he looked up to see his friend taehyun rushing towards him looking backwards over and over again.

but the thing that was disturbing to him was the bloody tissue he was holding to his cheek. he looked at the younger with wide eyes but the only thing the other said was; "let's go up."

the black haired boy looked puzzled, sad, angry and anxious all at once. so beomgyu didn't question what he said, he just followed him into the apartment complex as the building's door was open.

when they got into the elvator and the door closed behind them, the older turned to look into taehyun's eyes.

"what happened?" he asked.

"i'll tell you upstairs after i do something with this." said taehyun and pointed at the cut with his index finger.

"oh you're not going to do anything with that because i will." said beomgyu and walked towards his apartment. he opened the door and closed it after taehyun.

the younger threw his backpack and the other bag on the floor and after taking off his shoes, the red haired boy told him to sit down in the kitchen.

the younger waited and beomgyu finally came back with what looked like a first aid kit in his hands. he placed it down on the table and quickly washed his hands.

"show me your face." he said turning back to face the other.

taehyun looked like he had a really bad fight. he still had bruises from that guy who decided to beat him up for no reason, and the cut on his lip, now he had a matching one but bigger on his cheek.

beomgyu felt really bad for him. he didn't deserve that. he didn't deserve being hurt.

"can i have a cup of water actually?" asked the black haired boy.
