"Why are you getting sudden fever? You are fine yesterday. Yesterday's weather was just fine so how can you.." before Donghyun finished his question, Joochan had already replied.

"Ahjussi. He let me slept outside" Joochan said.

"What? Why?" Donghyun asked.

"I accidentally broke a glass. He went berserk after that" Joochan said.

"Where is your mom?" Donghyun asked.

"My mom went to a company trip for 5 days. She will return in two days" Joochan said.

"Just because of a glass, he threw you outside? Is he insane?" Donghyun said.

"No. Maybe it was my fault" Joochan was still defending Sungyoon.

"My father would never throw me outside just because of a glass. He will just advise me to be more careful next time" Donghyun said. Joochan sighed.

"I dreamt about my real father a few days ago. I told him that I want to stay with him but he refused. I love Ahjussi as I love my father but he didn't do the same as what my father did" Joochan said. Donghyun just listened to him.

"Sometimes, I feel like.. there is no point of living. I was left, I was abandoned. Poor people took me (Haru), but I was not fully accepted. I felt like I was a catastrophe.." Joochan said.

"No, you are not" Donghyun said.

"There is no point of living this way. I wake up everyday and having bad days. I am slowly getting tired. I.. I sometimes think.. I.. I..

I should have died instead so that I can live with my father in afterlife" Joochan was starting to think about that.

"No, Joochan! No!" Donghyun strictly opposed it.

"Death is never be the solution. Don't be like this" Donghyun held Joochan's hand.

"Never think about this anymore. You are not alone. We are all here to help you" Donghyun encouraged Joochan.

"You are lucky because there is still people who want to have you. Other kids out there were totally abandoned and survived alone without anyone. At least you are fine now, you can live well like anyone else. You went to school, you wore clothes, you had place to stay, those were enough" Donghyun said.

"You are strong enough to defeat his ego. Defeat him by winning his heart. Make him feel that treating you badly is his biggest mistake" Donghyun said. Joochan smiled a bit. Donghyun is always his good listener. He was grateful to have such good friends like Donghyun, Jibeom and Jaehyun. Donghyun is always his good listener. Jibeom is like his guardian angel who protects him from everything and Jaehyun is his saviour who will always be when Joochan needs help. He felt very grateful to have them.

Jangjun sat for a while when his students were doing the activities given. Jangjun took out his phone and contacting Haru, Joochan's mom.

"Hello, good afternoon Mrs. Haru. I am Lee Jangjun, Joochan's homeroom teacher. I just want to inform you that Joochan was unwell today. He was brought to the school clinic.." Jangjun told everything about Joochan to Haru.

* * *

Haru felt worried when Jangjun told that Joochan was unwell. She had been thinking about Joochan since the morning. Now she knew that Joochan was not really fine. He tried to call Sungyoon but Sungyoon did not answer her call. Haru called Daeyeol.

"Hello, Daeyeol Oppa"

"Hello, yes Haru.." Daeyeol replied.

"Where is Sungyoon?" Haru asked.

"Sungyoon is currently meeting the CEO. Why?" Daeyeol asked.

"Oppa, Joochan was ill. Can you look up for Joochan? Sungyoon said everything was fine but Joochan's homeroom teacher said that he was not fine. I am afraid if Sungyoon was lying about Joochan all this time when I am not around" Haru told Daeyeol about his worries.

"Okay, okay. I will. Don't worry" Daeyeol replied.

"Thank you, Oppa. I am sorry, I bothered you for so many times" Haru apologized.

"Ah, it's okay. Joochan is like my nephew though.." Daeyeol said. Haru felt a bit relieved.
