Help Me Out Of This Hell Hole!Daehyun's POV
Jongup looked over to me, eyes wide as if they were about to explode.
"Y-Your gay t-too?" He stuttered and his cheeks turned a little pinkish. That's quite cute.
"Yeah. So that means you're not alone."I gave him a heart warming smile. He smiled back.
"Glad to know that." He smiled sheepishly.
"Now... going into another matter," I grabbed his arm when he was caught off guard and lifted up the sleeves.
I stared at the amount of black and purple spots on his arm. A little bit of dried blood here and there, scattered all over his arms. Cuts scattered along his arm. I looked at Jongup, hoping that he will say something. But, he just kept his head hung low.
"Y-you're...." I stared at his cuts and bruises.
"Who did this to you? Myungsoo? His friends? Oh they are so going to get it!" I didn't even notice that my grip on his arm tightened until I heard a small whimper come out of him. I loosened my grip a little but not enough for him to pull his arm away.
"No, no... It wasn't Myungsoo or his friends..." Jongup said in a hushed voice.
"If it's not them then who did this? And I want the truth." I demanded.
He sighed,"It was my step-brother." Step-brother huh?
"Do I know him? Remember that I went overseas for 2 years? Maybe I know him."

"Is he studying here?" Jongup nodded slowly.

"Umm... Daehyun?" Jongup called me and waved his hand in front of my face. I didn't know I zoned out.
"Huh? Oh.. Sorry."
"What were you thinking about? You zoned out for quite long." I sighed. I should tell him.
"Jongup, this might sound crazy to you but, Jongin and I used to be friends before I went to America." I looked at him. His face showed multiple emotions. Fear, anger, shock.
"W-what?" Jongup stared in disbelief.
"That's right." Another voice said. Jongup looked behind me. His face instantly turned pale as if he saw a ghost. I turned behind and saw the owner of the voice.
Jongin.
"Good to see you again, Daehyun." Jongin said.
"Not surprised to see you here." I wonder why was I friends with him in the first place.
Jongin then looked behind me, glaring at Jongup as if he was drilling hole in the boy with his eyes. I decided to shift a little enough to block Jongin's view of Jongup.
He stared at me and scoffed,
