-Everyone has their secrets, the unknown. Sometimes it's a little harder to dig out clues to find a truth. They've given up on a lot of things, given up their feelings, their souls. No one can get past their shells, to the inside. The boys aren't what they used to be now, they're different, and each of them don't want anyone else. It's only them now. Their game may be fun to play, but it's a risk, break or be broken. -

 The ring slipped through his fingers and through the old vent in the floor, hot tears dripping after it. His hand shook as he looked in the bedroom of her house, at the strange man in bed with his girl.

 "This isn't what it looks like, Jagi!" She blurted, smiling weakly and nervously as she threw her body, wrapped in nothing but a sheet, towards him. "I didn't know you were coming so early."

"Get off," He growled, "Get off!"

As he pushed her to the floor the other male stood up, "Keep your hands off her!"

He didn't hear him as he stormed out of the house, taking his broken being along with him.

The boy was only beginning his first year in Secondary school, though all he really did was sit on the rooftop, dangling his legs over the edge.

"Hey, you look lonely," A classmate from his class sat next to him, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Need a friend?"

"I don't need anyone." The boy hissed, shrugging away.

"You sure? I know we'll be great friends, and I know some really fun games--"

"I said I don't need anyone!" He yelled, slapping the other across the face. "Leave me alone."

With tears of fear and pain across his face, the shocked boy ran back into the school, leaving the other to sit alone in a mess of rage.

"What happened to you, Oppa? You never hang out with me anymore." The short girl whined to her best friend, pulling on his arm to get a reaction from his wandering eyes. "I came to visit you today and yet you don't even say hello."

His eyes wandered to her, and then the floor, not once did he make a sound.

"Oppa, talk to me," She hugged him tightly, "We can go to your favorite park!"

When he refused to respond again, she merely grabbed his arm and dragged him off his couch. "Come on, let's go now." And she walked him out the door.

"Eat." He commanded, "Look at you, all bones! The neighbors will think I don't take care of you. Eat now."

His son sat at the table in front of him, looking nervously into his lap instead of at the food or his father. "I'm not hungry." His voice a mere whisper compared to the yelling.

"I don't care if you are or not. I said eat so eat!" He took the bowl in his large hands and forced the contents into the younger's mouth, not caring as he shook his head or coughed against the force.

His son bit at the man, and spat out as much as he could until the bowl was empty, tossed onto the table in rage.

The alarm was on the floor seconds after it rang, muffled by the carpeting. A voice groaned over the sound of the noise and scurried deeper under the covers.

With hair matted to his head, and the scent of sweat and tears lingering on the pillow he clutched so tightly to his chest, the figure had soon drifted back to sleep.

"It's a shame you went out like this." She said, banging her keys against the bars to awaken the captive. "Not expected, not at all."

He threw a glare, then a silent curse. "You never will believe me."

"Why should I, when the truth is so clear?" She snapped back. "All the evidence, everything, points back to you."

"It was her!"

She clicked her tongue, "Why is it that males always blame the women? Especially one who loves you, and made sure you lived!"

"She's a demon! Hiding behind a fallen halo. No one sees how she changed, how he changed her." His voice broke and tears blurred his vision.

"She is no demon nor a cheater. That lady is and forever be a heart of gold! It's such a shame she was cursed with such a monster like you. You destroyed everything"

His phone laid on the blanket of the unmade bed. It matched the rest of the room, messy, and blank. He picked it up with slender fingers and started typing.

"I'm so so sorry. I messed up again and again. Why am I so stupid? I never deserved you. I can never even tell you I love you, because if I love you why did I do such a thing? Inside I burn, and my heart aches. Is it regret? Is it longing? Is it caring feelings and passion for you? Or is it all of the above? It's my fault, and it always has been. You were my little angel. But now I guess you are just an Angel. Because I can no longer call you 'Mine'."
