Family

She stood on her wobbly legs and walked towards the group of students who were still shocked by her scream earlier. Seoyoo glared sharply at the female student who just bad mouthed about her parents as if trying to kill her. She has an urge to jump on the said student and choke her to death without retaliation as badly as she talked about her parents.

With eyes swollen from holding back tears, Seoyoo did not stop to stare at her and pushed her against the wall roughly. The female student hissed in pain as soon as her back hit the concrete wall.

"Why do you dare say my parents are like that ?! Do you know them ?! Are you their close friend ?! If not then just shut up your devilish mouth!! You don't deserve to say that with the filthy mouth of yours, you know! Do not speak about them as you please!"

Seoyoo yelled as she clutching the girl's collar shirt while shaking the student.

Then, once again she shoved the girl into the wall with more force than before she heard someone calling her name making her look towards the owner of the voice. She made eye contact with the student she hated the most in history and she did not want to look at Jung Daewon's face which she hated more and more.

"Don't disturb my business!"

Seoyoo yelled then she turned her attention back to the female student.

However, before Seoyoo could do anything, she was being pulled away from the hallway and only then did she realize that the place she was standing earlier was surrounded by students and some of them were holding their respective phones possibly they had recorded the incident of she was raging to the female student and would spread the video to their respective group chat. She gasped when she was pushed into an empty classroom then she looked towards the person who had dragged her all the way here.

"Don't touch me!"

Seoyoo said as she yanked her hand from the male's hold.

"You really like to be involved in such problems don't you?"

Daewon asked frowning at her.

"You have never been to my shoe so you do not know anything! Not when they said so to my parents! You must have never experienced what I felt when you lived under the same roof as your family! A-all of you... You guys a-are just same!"

She said with tears streaming down her face like a waterfall.

"Don't speak nonsense! My parents also- Hey! Han Seoyoo?! What's wrong with you?!"

He shook the trembling girl who was gasping for air desperately.

Seoyoo had found it difficult to get the oxygen into her lungs because she seems to be breathing with shortness of breath. Soon she lost her balance and her head felt dizzy as if she had been hit with an iron rod by the back of her head. Slowly the girl landed on the floor on her knees and coughed several times to get some air into her lungs.

"Hey! Try to breathe Seoyoo! Slow down! Relax and take a breath"

Daewon said as he placed both his hands on Seoyoo's shoulder.

"I-i can't b-breathe!! It's h-hard!"

The girl whispered in difficulties, her hand clutching on her shirt tightly.

This continued until Jung Daewon himself saw Seoyoo's face turn pale due to lack of oxygen. Daewon did not stop to guide her to breathe but the girl refused to listen to all of the instructions from him. The male did not think long then smashed his lips against hers making Seoyoo's unstable breath hitched in shock.

They remain in that position for a while until Daewon is sure that Seoyoo's panic attack is over. Daewon then slowly backed away and at the same time saw Seoyoo still closing her eyes while breathing heavily to refill her lungs with air as much as possible. They looked into each other's eyes without exchanging words, letting the silence eating them alive. Just watching the tears flow from her eyes, Daewon did not hesitate to wipe the girl's tears gently so that he would not hurt Seoyoo.

"Are you okay now-"

Daewon was cut off when he suddenly felt pain on his cheeks as well as his face which was now turned to the side instead of looking at the girl.

The male then slowly turned his head to see Seoyoo who was throwing a glare at him while breathing deeply. Once again Seoyoo's eyes were filled with tears making her eyes look glistening. Daewon seemed frozen, he did not know what to do after receiving a harsh slap from Han Seoyoo, the girl that he just helped a few minutes ago.

"I told you not to touch me but you did it again! You did not listen to me and you even kissed me! I felt disgusted!"

Seoyoo yelled and tried her best to stand on her wobbly legs without Daewon's help.

She took a deep breath when she finally reached the front door of the classroom and then she turned her head back to look at Jung Daewon who was still kneeling on the floor, just like earlier.

"I swear I never hate people so bad and I admit that I really hate you Jung Daewon."

The girl said coldly before leaving the male alone in the empty classroom.

Seoyoo choked because crying caused her to run away from there so that the male would not see her in such a condition. It's been several times she almost fell because her shaky legs made Seoyoo stop running and clinging to the wall to keep herself from crashing on the floor.

As soon as he heard the footsteps step away from there, Daewon was finally able to inhale oxygen into his lungs which he himself did not realize he was holding his breath before. Carefully he raised his hand to hold the place where he was being slapped earlier before he hissed in pain, silently regretting his action to touch the slight handprint on his cheek.

Then he brought his hand up and he touched his own lips softly as if he could still remember how it felt when his lips and Seoyoo's lips met earlier. He couldn't help but feel addicted but he shook his head quickly before some weird ideas playing on his mind.
