Class was finally over, and to lunch we went.
"Hey Yoonsun! Get over here!" Echoed through the building. It was Jake, Jake called out to Yoonsun. Yoonsun slightly closed his eyes and walked over.
"You stink shit" Jake said, two people beside him started laughing, whom I'd assume to be his friends.
"I.." Yoonsun didn't find the right words.
"I'll make you pay for sending me to the office later, got it?" With these words Yoonsun looked down into the ground,
"B-but I didnt…" Yoonsun stuttered heavily.
"No one cares, big fat losers like you should know their place!"
Jake got increasingly more violent as every second went past,
"Hey you know what loser? Follow us." Jake said, as he turned around started walking to the bathroom. Yoonsun followed him, not sure how to act.
Inside the bathroom Jake lashed out,
"Yoonsun, get on the floor and jump around like the good pig you are! Se it as a payment for what you did"
Threatened, Yoonsun started breathing heavily and got onto the floor, he started jumping around while saying "oink oink!" repeatedly. Yoonsun was scared, he didn't know what to do so he simply followed along.
5 minutes after it began. Daniel smashed through the door,
"What the hell is happening here!?" I asked in confusion.
7 minutes earlier, I eavesdropped on Jake. I didn't wanna get involved but i couldnt help myself but to wonder. So I followed, noticing they arrived at the bathroom, and now I couldn't just stand there, I had to do something.
"So what the hell are you people doing!? Explain yourselves!"
Jake's eyes connected with mine, he looked at me with intense eyes, "what the hell, what do you want?" Jake questioned my presence there. I certainly wasn't expected to show up so I guess it's just natural that he does wonder.
"I heard you guys when I walked past here, so I decided to check in to see if everything is fine which obviously isnt from what i am seeing."
"Damn! Whatever take the pig and go"
Yoonsun stood up, shivering and slowly started walking towards me.
Soon enough we were outside the bathroom and on our way to class,
"Um, can I ask a question?" yoonsung said, looking down slightly.
"Sure."
"Why did you help me? Why did you get involved in this mess with me in the first place?" Yoonsung said this in confusion, he did not understand my reason for interfering.
"Huh? You mean you don't want help?"
"it's just that, it's been like this for a while now so please, don't worry about me, Why would you even hang out with a loser like me?"
Yoonsun looked at me more intensely
"I see now. It's because you are like me."
I knew, I knew all about fear, all about neglect. I've experienced it with my own two eyes time and time again, I'd seen people crumble for my eyes and at the end of the day no one ever intervened. So my reason for being here, at this very moment, is because I truly, from the bottom of my heart understand, I understand the pain and anguish.
"What the hell are you talking about? I am nothing like you."
