"Hey, don't bully him or I'll bully you!" Jihoon exclaims in a loud voice, looking at his teasing classmates in anger.

Even though Jihoon was smaller than then half of the grade eight class, he was still pretty tough and everyone knew not to mess with him.

"T-Thanks Jihoon..." Soonyoung says, wiping the last few tears away from his face.

"It's fine, you have to learn to stand up for yourself Soonyoung, stop letting them tease you like that!" Jihoon says in a long sigh.

"But...they're scary..." Soonyoung says in a low tone of voice, so the other kids couldn't hear him.

"Yeah and I'm scary too, I'll beat you up next time if you don't stand up to them!" Jihoon exclaims.

"So you're going to beat me up, after they beat me up?" Soonyoung asks, looking at Jihoon confused.

"Shut up" Jihoon says in a mumble, turning around and walking away.

As the kids were at their desks, scribbling away on their notebooks, some doing their work and some not paying attention at all.

Soonyoung threw a paper at Jihoon's back, and as Jihoon looked back at Soonyoung, he gave him a glare.

Soonyoung was looking at Jihoon with innocent eyes, meaning he didn't mean it in a bad way and Jihoon signed.

As Jihoon picked up the paper Soonyoung threw at him, he opened it up and read 'I'll try standing up to them after school.' With a badly drawn smiley face at the end.

After Jihoon was done reading the note, he looked back at Soonyoung and gave him a thumbs up, meaning good luck.

Jihoon already knew he couldn't be there to see his friend stand up to his bullies, because Jihoon was in detention for trying to hit a boy named Mingyu with a guitar in music class.

Time passed and as the end of the day came, Jihoon went to detention while Soonyoung went outside the school, to the back where his bullies usually cornered him to beat him up.

"So you came by yourself this time, we didn't need to drag you here today?" One boy asks, looking at Soonyoung in a smile.

Soonyoung nodded quietly meaning yes and a couple of them chuckled.

"So what, do you have something to say to us?" Another boy asks, giving Soonyoung a glare.

"Y-Yes...I wanted to say that, I don't want to be bullied by you anymore! I've had enough of it and I don't want this happening again!" Soonyoung exclaims, getting it all out of his system.

"What if we do keep bothering you then, what if we don't stop...what'll you do?" The leader of the group asks, looking at Soonyoung in a mischievous smile.

Soonyoung hadn't thought of what to say if they would ask that so he was put on the spot and didn't know what to say.

The bullies all laughed and beat him up even harder today, since Soonyoung thought he was able to stop them, they wanted him to know he couldn't.

As Jihoon's detention finished it was dark out and a cold breeze went through the air.

As Jihoon got out of the school, he walked behind the school to see Soonyoung all beat up. He was sitting on the ground with his back leaning against the wall.

"How did I know this was going to happen" Jihoon says in a sigh, walking up to Soonyoung and putting out his hand to help him up.

Soonyoung looked up at Jihoon biting his bottom lip. He wanted to cry but he didn't want Jihoon thinking he was a wimp.

Jihoon then went on his knees and could tell Soonyoung wanted to cry, even though it was so dark out, he could tell.

"You can...cry if you want too" Jihoon says in a serious tone, looking at Soonyoung, in his eyes.

Soonyoung hugged Jihoon tightly as he put his head on Jihoon's shoulder and started to sob.

Jihoon started rubbing Soonyoung's back meaning it was okay and that he was there now so he didn't have to be afraid.

"J-Jihoon, you're so lucky..." Soonyoung says, separating himself from Jihoon and looking down into his own lap.

Jihoon had confusion written all over his face as he asks "why am I the lucky one?"

"Because everyone likes you...even though you're small, the girls like you because you're cute and the guys like you cause you're active and sporty..."

"Soonyoung...." Jihoon says in a faint voice. He never knew Soonyoung felt that way.

"Jihoon you have nothing to worry about because everyone likes you...no one likes me so I have a ton to worry about. No girls like me because I'm ugly...you think I can't hear them talking about when they're all together?"

"And the boys don't like me because I'm not sporty, I'm not a threat...I'm a geek...you don't have to worry but I do!" Soonyoung exclaims in a frown, crying even more.

"Soonyoung, I like you though" Jihoon says seriously.

"Well we've been friends ever since birth, since we're friends you like me, but no one else in the class does!" Soonyoung says I'm a frown.

Jihoon looked at Soonyoung and brought him in for another hug. "Stop thinking so down on yourself... It's not good. You're an amazing person Soonyoung, you shouldn't degrade yourself because of what other people say" Jihoon explains.

Soonyoung hugged Jihoon back, saying "okay" while grabbing onto his shirt while hugging him.

As Jihoon brought Soonyoung home, Soonyoung cleaned himself up a bit and got changed into clean clothes.

"Do you want something to get changed into?" Soonyoung asks, looking at Jihoon.

"Nah I'm fine, my parents will be home soon anyway so I got to leave soon." Jihoon explains.

"Oh, alright" Soonyoung says in a frown, turning around and walking to the kitchen to grab the home phone.

"Who're you calling?" Jihoon asks, looking at Soonyoung confused.

"I'm ordering take out smart one, who else do I call other then you?" Soonyoung asks in an annoyed tone.

As Soonyoung was ordering take out, Jihoon was looking around the room they were in, noticing some things had been moved around from the last time he was in there.

"Hey Soonyoung, why're some things moved around, are you guys redecorating or something?" Jihoon asks after Soonyoung was off the phone.

"Oh, yeah my mom said she wanted some things moved around..." Soonyoung says while looking down with a frown on his face.

"But your mom and dad are always away from home, why would she want to redecorate when she's never going to be home?" Jihoon asks, totally confused while leaning back down in his seat.

"She told me to redecorate for her...she said it's a personal reason she wants to talk to me later about." Soonyoung explains.

"Personal reason...do you have any idea what she's going to say?" Jihoon asks.

"Rather then having an idea of what she's going to say, I think I already know what she's going to say..." Soonyoung says in a frown.

"Really, what is it?" Jihoon asks.

"I think my mom and dad are having a divorce."

Jihoon almost couldn't believe it "w-what?!" Jihoon says as if he hadn't heard properly, now sitting up straight.

"Well my dad and mom are never home at the same time and when they are all they do is fight. I'm not close to my dad either and you know that...that's why I don't really care. Plus, she told me to take down all pictures we had of him so I kind of like a hunch." Soonyoung explains.

"Oh, I'm sorry man..." Jihoon says in a frown. "Don't think too much about your parents divorce though, you always have my family...we're right next door!" Jihoon exclaims in a smile.

"I know" Soonyoung chuckles.

Not too long after the doorbell rang and Soonyoung went to the door with the money to pay the man for the food.

As Soonyoung brought the food back to where Jihoon was, Jihoon smiled saying "I'll always be your friend...got that Soonyoung?"

"I know" Soonyoung says in a smile, starting to eat the things he had ordered for the both of them.
