The sun hadn’t even begun to rise yet when Mir woke up on the couch in Joon’s apartment the next morning. He slowly sat up and tiredly rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and yawned softly. He looked around at the dark room and frowned; he knew he was going to get in trouble with his parents later for not coming home last night. He stood up and grabbed his clothes from yesterday and went to the bathroom to change into them. On his way out, he peaked into Joon’s room and saw his friend sleeping peacefully. He folded the pajamas and blanket and set them on the couch and quietly left the apartment.

He walked the three steps over to the door of his own home and twisted the doorknob, only to find out that it was lock, which wasn’t a good thing. He knew he was going to get it later when he came home after school. He sighed softly and walked towards the elevator with slumped shoulders knowing that he was going to get beat real good tonight.

When he stepped outside the complex he could still see some stars and the moon out as the sun began to rise, causing the sky to turn a variety of different colors. He breathed in the fresh air and smiled softly to himself. Don’t think about tonight, think about the day ahead of you and all the possibilities that come with it. He told himself this on a daily basis, it was what kept him going. He didn’t like to get depressed about his life, but kept a positive attitude for the future. Who knows, one day maybe everything would change completely.

Although he arrived at the school an hour early, Mir knew the doors would be unlocked. He pushed through them and made his way into the school and through the hallways. Not many teachers were there yet, but he knew that G.O would be and so he headed towards his first period classroom. When he walked through the doors, G.O looked up from where he was sitting behind his desk drinking coffee and texting on his cell phone.

“You’re wearing the same clothes as yesterday,” He pointed about.

“I know, I couldn’t go home last night and the door was locked this morning,” Mir replied as he sat on the top of one of the desks in the front row.

“It’s crap that you have to put up with all this, I wish you’d just leave already,” G.O said, shaking his head in disbelief. Mir just shrugged carelessly, it’s not like he could really do anything to improve his situations.

“Well if you have an alternate solution then I’d love to hear it,” Mir said sarcastically.

“Sure, just run away already. It’s not like they’d stop you,” G.O said with a smirk.

“Right, because I totally have somewhere to go,” Mir replied with a roll of his eyes.

“What about that friend of yours? Joon? Why can’t you just stay with him?” G.O asked.

“One, because we’re not even that good of friends if you really think about it. Two, it would be beyond awkward. Three, just because,” Mir said.

“One, obviously you are if he lets you come over every day. Two, you have a crush on him. Three, that’s a stupid reason,” G.O responded.

“I don’t have a crush on Joon!” Mir exclaimed defensively.

“Which is why you’re blushing,” G.O said smirking widely. Mir just glared at him and crossed his arms.

“Mind your own business, teacher,” He said, causing G.O to laugh. The older man stood
