Nowhere

Ⅸ - Nine

•Duri•

It was after my class I felt my nerves hit me like a wave, I shudder and grab my things, "Mr Jun." A deep voice spoke turning my head to see a tall teacher standing in front of his desk, staring at me with a glare. "You seem out of it, I've especially noticed, I don't know about other teachers." He began to lecture me, I exhaled and looked back at the door where everyone left already, "Tired." Is all I say in response. He groans and rubs his temples, "If you say so- if you need to talk to someone, talk to your counselor." I simply nod and leave his room without a 'goodbye'. Then suddenly my heart attacked me with quick pounding; my anxiety again. I shook my head to myself and shakily made me way across the hallway, I didn't want anyone noticing how weird I was acting and so I started to stare at my shoes. Then opening the restroom's door, hearing footsteps pace the floor and faint talking then the footsteps scattered to the front of the door where I came walking in. Seeing a brown haired male grin a bit and turn his back towards me. I follow with hesitation not wanting to talk, I just stayed silent till he spoke
making me shiver.
"Why is Yugyeom so attached to you?" I stop my pacing and stand in front of him, JaeBum looked at me with a glare, I stutter and say, "I-I don't know..." a whine passing my lips as I began to lightly sob. "I-I'm Sorry..." i felt vulnerable. Wiping my tears as they kept falling, I heard him grunt, "I'm bored. Let's fuck again." Oh. I visibly twitched and backed away waving my hands in front of me, "M-m-Maybe n-next t-time. I have c-class." I spoke, 'maybe next time'? Am I insane? There was not going to be any next time under him. I heard him chuckle and grabbed my wrist harshly making me let out a small yelp. "Fine, next time- don't tell anyone about whatever happened. Or you will be even more fucked." I felt my bottom lip quiver, biting my lip and looked away, more and more tears rushed with no end. "O-Okay.", "fucking bitch." And there it was. 'Bitch' the word that makes me feel like nothing. I watched as he left first and the door slam closed. The bell rang and I exhaled, soon a choke of sobs got caught up in my throat. I then let my back rest onto the wall and slowly letting myself fall onto the floor.
Skipping one period wasn't so bad. So I just sat there. Nothing but fear clouded my mind. Low sobs filled the echoing bathroom, It kept and kept repeating like a looped beat on a drum pad.

I eventually skipped every single class after talking to JB. Not bothering to even call my father telling him I'll be hanging out with a 'friend'. So, now I stood outside of the school, waiting for a tall male with red hair to soon appear. Students talking about what they were going to eat or where they could link up at. It was normal as I stood silently, letting my shoes kick small rocks. "Why weren't you at lunch Duri?!" A loud yell came from a few feet away, I looked up and see as Yugyeom ran towards me with a big frown, "I'm sorry.." I said with a small smile, "I was just tired and sat with the nurse-", "But I checked if you were in there and they said you didn't even arrive at Third through eighth period!" He insistes like a child, my eyes widened then softened, "Oh.." is all I said, "I'm too tired to talk about it." He didn't buy it, crossing his arms and kneeled to my height, I blush and mutter, "Y-your pants are going to get dirty." He ignored
me.
"Why did you skip class, hmm?" Was I really being treated like a baby? This feels weird. I stumbled a bit backwards and sighed, "I-I said I'm too tired to talk about it..!" I shout a bit. The redhead smiled at me and stood back up, "Don't do it again okay?" I shook my head, "Y-you aren't my dad!" It felt as if I didn't have problems in the first place. He made sadness go away. He ruffled my already nappy hair and smiled, "Lets walk to my dance studio~" my eyebrows furrowed, his? I was totally dumbfounded, "Yours?" I questioned, he looked at me as if I had two heads, "Yeah!" We started to walk off the school compus, "Oh.." I responded. The walk was comfortable at first, the silents was light and we exchanged some small questions and answers. It was normal but then he slid his hand onto my shoulder, It was unexpected so I gasped and looked at him in shock, He quickly retreated his hand and faced me with worry, "I'm sorry! Did I scare you?" I gulped and nodded, "S-sorry- bad experience with...-" I cut myself off.
Bad experience? With what? I wasn't going to tell him I had a bad experience with people touching me, I wasn't going to expose myself... If I did, I'd be dead.
I didn't continue, I just looked down at my feet and I decided to talk again, "Y-you Can continue..." I sighed. I really did not want anyone touching me but I kind of felt sorry for making him worry. "Are you sure? I won't do it if you don't want me t-" I cut him off, hesitantly grabbing his hand and looping it around my shoulder, I felt embarrassed but it was a stronger version, I felt like I ran for hours. "S-sorry sir... I-it's turning dark and that means it's going to get cold." I looked down feeling my cheeks burn like crazy! But I guess he looked at the sky that turned a bit purple which faded into pink. "I don't need formalities..." he hums. It looked so warm out but when it got dark it was bound to get a bit cold- at least chilly. I heard him sigh, it was more high pitch as if he were smiling but I didn't know. I kept looking down at my shoes. Maybe I should've got extra clothes to get more comfortable but it was too late to ask to go home since we both stood at a big white building with golden words that wrote,
'Kim's Dance Studio Of Art'.
Maybe it'll be chill. Maybe no one but us; together. But my mind soon stopped when I heard a small voice yelp out, "YugYug! You took forever! - who's that?" A girlish voice sang, I looked up as the redhead's arm retreated to his side, I watched him smile at the girl and speak softly,  "A new friend." I saw the girl with short blonde (dyed) hair and pink plump lips smile, she's really pretty... but she winked at Yugyeom then looked at me with a small grin which, not going to lie... kind of scared me. "Hehe... I'll give you guy's a empty room if you'll like. - Mark And Jackson look-at-my-wang - and the others are there. There is so many I can't focus on saying all their names." She groaned rubbing her temples. I smiled a bit. At least a room without that monster- "Oh no! I-I'm not like that! I'll share the studio room with the gang!" I looked at Yugyeom with clear nervousness but he didn't look at me. He had a small hue of pink on his cheeks as he smiled widely trying to deny 'he wasn't like that' but I didn't know what he meant. Why is having a single room to just two guys 'weird' or whatever since he's blushing like he recalled an
embarrassing memory.
But that wasn't my problem. This 'maybe later' thing is going to happen... JaeBum isn't playing games.. but why me? What does he want from me so bad? I guess I need to talk to him but my nerves got the best of me. I couldn't even think about getting near him. His cold glare and his lack of sympathy, his face like stone. He looked rude- and he was. As soon as Yugyeom called my name I didn't know what to call JB. "What..?" I said in a soft tone, he giggles a bit and sighed, scratching the back of his neck. "Sorry about that. She's one of my management people- or whatever that helps the studio out- Sorry for hearing what she had to say.", Did she say something bad? I tilted my head, "What did she say?" He looked at me weirdly, "Like- every word she said or the obvious sex joke?" I stared at him with more confusion, "She said a sex joke?" He smiles even wider if that was even possible and ruffles my hair making me shiver and back up a bit. "You're innocent!", "really..?"
