From Fear to Freedom | Taegyu ✔️

11

We began working on our project.

It's quiet except for the occasional question.

When we got about halfway done, I hear you sigh.

You were looking at me.

'How can you take all those hits?' you asked.

I look down and shrug.

'I guess I get used to it'

'Why?'

'Your friend Yeonjun has been hitting me long before you came.'

'You're soft compared to him' I respond and your eyes widened.

'He told me he never did it.' you said and I rolled my eyes.

'He also told you beating weak kids makes you popular.' I scoffed.

'When did yo-'

'I heard him talking to you in the hallway'

You buried your face in your hands.

'I don't want to hurt you' you muttered.

'Then stop.'

'Please.'

'Then what do I do.' you asked.

'Make new friends.' I replied.

'I can't.' you muttered.

'Bullshit'

'What?'

'I said bullshit!' I nearly shouted.

'You are good looking, you are nice, and you want to change.'

'I tried to be your friend before you started hitting me!'

You looked at me with watery eyes.

'Really?'

'Yes.'

'Did you know Yeonjun is manipulating you?'

'What?'

I showed him the video of what Yeonjun said and he starts crying.

I pat his back as he cried.

I feel sorry for you Taehyun.

I hope you change.
