From Fear to Freedom | Taegyu ✔️

3

The next day you and your friends cornered me in a stairwell.

I could hear my own cries echo back to me.

Today your friend Yeonjun held me up as you throw punches at all parts of my body.

Tears ran down my face.

Your other friends called me names.

Fag.

Whore.

Pussy.

Crybaby.

With every punch, I felt myself breaking more.

Students passed by without a word.

Until I heard shouting. 

Yeonjun drops me and I crumple to the floor.

The yelling came nearer until I saw who it was.

Huening Kai.

Soobin.

The school's first openly gay couple.

I smiled at them as they carried me to the nurse's office.

They make sure I got taken care of.

They stayed the whole time.

We chatted.

They gave me their numbers.

I told them 'thank you' when they left. 

I have friends.

I can't stand you Taehyun.

But at least now it's bearable.
