To you who is hurt
# Pessimistic
March *, 20**, the new semester, now eighteen. And, the day before the start of the new semester.
[Kim Jong-in x Do Kyung-soo]
At a playground, a boy sat on a swing, waiting for someone. Then, Jong-in came running, panting, and called the boy's name.
김종인
Do Kyungsoo,!
“You surprised me. I knew something was wrong,” said Jong-in, sitting on the swing next to Kyung-soo.
김종인
Why did you call?
도경수
Just because I'm bored - and school starts tomorrow.
김종인
I see you at school, you're in the same class as me?
도경수
...
김종인
...What's wrong with you?
Startled by Kyungsoo's tears falling little by little, Jongin asked what was wrong.
김종인
Did you get hit again? That guy hit you again?
Jong-in sighed deeply as Kyung-soo nodded and pulled Kyung-soo into his arms.
김종인
Get out of that house right now. Just take your stuff and come to my house.
도경수
I want to do that - it's so... hard, Jong-in - please,
김종인
Okay, okay. Come home with me now - just grab your stuff and come out.
Kyungsoo nodded vigorously at Jongin's words. Since Jongin lived alone, it was easy for him to accept Kyungsoo. Kyungsoo immediately went to Jongin's house, carrying only his luggage.
I thought that maybe this was a chance for a fresh start with the new semester.
[Baekhyun Byun × Chanyeol Park]
Thud, thud—the sound of someone being hit echoed through the alley. And then there were the curses. Baekhyun, exhausted from hitting, crouched down in front of the fallen male student, gasping for breath, and locked eyes with him.
변백현
Are you feeling better now? You don't have to beat me up anymore.
He raised his hand again as if he was going to hit the silent male student.
Thump- , someone blocked Baekhyun's hand. As if they were running, they were out of breath, and they shook off Baekhyun's hand that was blocking them. They even pushed Baekhyun away from the fallen male student as if they were trying to lift him up.
The only person who could do this to Baekhyun was Chanyeol.
박찬열
What, you even promised me not to beat up anyone?
박찬열
You can't break a promise, Baekhyun.
Baekhyun laughed heartily. Chanyeol didn't listen to any of Baekhyun's words, turned around, helped the fallen male student up, and apologized on his behalf.
박찬열
I'm so sorry. Baekhyun is the type of person who would never apologize, even if he died, so I'll apologize on his behalf. It's late, so hurry up and go. Be careful.
After Chanyeol sent the boy away, he turned back to look at Baekhyun.
박찬열
Oh, I can't even hit this one.
변백현
Damn it,
박찬열
What else don't you like? ...I'm going home. I came running because of you, so I'm dead tired.
After walking Baekhyun home without saying a word, Chanyeol started walking towards his own house.
[Kim Jun-myeon]
''Kim Junmyeon,''
김준면
yes.
Junmyeon's mother called Junmyeon in a not-so-friendly manner, and even Junmyeon's answering expression wasn't very bright.
"If your grades are like last year, you're going to be stuck. You're eighteen now, and nineteen in a year. You know you can't raise your grades even if you study like crazy, right?"
김준면
yes.
"If your grades hit rock bottom because you're dating a friend or a lover, you'll really get kicked out."
김준면
all right.
Junmyeon answered with a timid tone and went into his room. He sat at his desk, clutched his head, and sighed.
Junmyeon, who always got first-class grades on mock exams and was always ranked first or second in the high class, always had a mother who said harsh things to Junmyeon, as if something didn't suit her.
[Oh Se-hoon]
Sehun was sitting at his computer desk, humming a song as he worked on his computer. Then, a couple of knocks were heard, and Sehun's mother entered.
''Are you on the computer again?''
오세훈
I just turned it on.
"You're a sophomore in high school now—don't you study? What on earth do you want to be? I have no idea what you're thinking."
오세훈
Studying, Mom, I'll do better than I did in school. Something I want to do will come along someday.
''...Are you really saying you don't want to do anything?''
오세훈
Uh. Nothing. I don't know what to do, what I want to do - I haven't even found what I'm good at.
"Other families' kids want to do this and that, so they want me to support them, but what about you! You don't even want to do anything - it's because of you that I'm having a hard time."
오세훈
Why is it hard for you, Mom? Don't worry about it. Why worry now when you were such a good mom? Even if you ever want to do something, you won't expect support, right?
Sehun's head turned, and he sighed. Sehun's mother also seemed quite surprised, and her hands trembled.
''..ㅁ,miㅇ..-''
오세훈
How can I hope for something like this?
Sehun blurted out some harsh words, then roughly turned off the computer, grabbed his wallet, jacket, and cell phone, and left the house.

I feel like I write better when I revise and rewrite little by little whenever an idea comes to mind. I don't know what readers will think of it, though... hehe.
