"Soonyoung you're back, wah it's been so long! Two years really changed everyone, didn't it?" Chan asks in a smile, walking up to Soonyoung who was sitting down in his desk. 

Soonyoung didn't look too different from two years ago other then he looked more mature and he died his hair a blondish white.

Chan looked more mature as well, two years ago he looked like a four year old in grade eight, but now he looked like a normal grade ten student. 

Soonyoung was shocked with how mature Chan got as well and didn't know what to say, looking down. 

"Man, we need to catch up! Let's all catch up" Chan says, looking at everyone in a smile. 

Seokmin then came into the room as well, walking up beside Jihoon but looking at Soonyoung. "Soonyoung you're back?" Seokmin asks, looking at him in a smile. 

Soonyoung looked up at Seokmin and was surprised to see he was even more handsome then back then, meaning he was probably popular. Soonyoung huffed, shoving his way past the three boys and leaving the classroom. 

Jihoon didn't turn to watch Soonyoung walk away, he staid in his spot with his head down, not saying anything. 

Chan went chasing after him but Seokmin looked at Jihoon concerned. "You know he's back now, this is your chance to make things better with him!" Seokmin explains, rubbing Jihoons back in circular motions. 

Jihoon let a tear fall, slowly wiping it away from his cheek while saying "no, it's too late. He hates me, I think he hates everyone here." 

"Then we just need you to become his friend again, how did you become his friend in the first place?" Seokmin asks, looking at Jihoon curiously. 

"Well we were friends since birth, we were even born in the same hospital, next to each others hospital rooms. We were neighbours as well so we were friends for as long as I can remember. He's even in all my baby pictures." Jihoon explains. 

"Oh...well then you both probably got into fights before, right?" 

"Small ones." 

"How did you make up with him from those small fights?" Seokmin asks. 

"Well Soonyoung was bullied a lot, so I usually defended him from the bullies when he cried out for help and went to rescue him. After I'd rescue him he'd cry into my shoulder and tell me he's sorry..." Jihoon says in a small sigh. 

"That's it!" 

"What's 'it?'" Jihoon asks, raising one eyebrow. 

"We'll do that! We'll force some people to pretend to be Soonyoung's bullies. They'll beat him up and when he calls out for help you swoop in to save him!" Seokmin explains in a smile and Jihoon had a smile of his own appearing on his face. 

"Seokmin you're amazing, thank you!" Jihoon exclaims, hugging Seokmin tightly and Seokmin hugged him back. 

Meanwhile with Soonyoung he was storming away from the classroom down the hall, until Chan stopped him from storming off by grabbing his wrist. "Soonyoung, stop!" 

"Let go of me" Soonyoung says in a harsh tone, trying to wiggle his wrist out of Chan's grip but Chan wouldn't let go. 

"You know Jihoon already forgave you! I've went to school with him for two years! It was devastating for him when you left. He wasn't ever smiling in class anymore, you both should just make up already!" Chan exclaims, getting angry himself over a stupid fight. 

"Even if we do make up, I don't think I'll be able to be his friend anymore..." Soonyong faintly says. 

"Why...why not?" 

"Because in the two years I've been away from you all, I didn't have any friends. People would bully me and I had no one defending me. Even if we do apologize it'll never go back to the way it use to be. I'm use to being by myself now. If someone tries becoming my friend, they'll get tired of me because of the lonely personality I have." 

"N-Not even me, you don't want to be friends with me?" Chan asks in a faint stutter. 

Soonyoung didn't say anything with a  frown on his face, slowly turning around and walking away. 

Chan then exclaims "what the hell happened to you?!" In an angry tone.

Soonyoung looked back at Chan a but confused on what he meant but was surprised to be met with tears rushing down Chan's face. 

Soonyoung fully turned back around, seeing the sad expression on Chan's face made him confused. 

"What do you mean 'what happened to me?'" Soonyoung asks, still confused. 

"You never use to be like this! Two years ago you always had a smile on your face, even when you were upset you tried hiding it with a smile! You at least tried getting close to people two years ago and went to people when you were upset and needed to talk to someone! Now you're all different! You're some depressed tenth grade who is pushing himself away from everyone, not asking anyone for help when you're clearly upset! What the hell happened to the old you, I want that Soonyoung back!" Chan exclaims, more tears rushing down his face. 

Soonyoung looked at Chan with a frown on his face while answering him "when you learn to adapt to a lonely environment it's hard to just let people in. It's not as easy as you think it is. No ones cared or shown love to me for two years, no one other then my father talked to me for two years! Sometimes I wondered if he even cared, because he didn't even talk to me sometimes." 

"What about your mom, where's she?!" Chan asks, wiping some tears away from under his eyes. 

Soonyoung looked down and didn't say anything for a minute or two before saying "she's dead, she died." 

Chan had a shocked expression on his face, then saying a faint "I-I'm so sorry Soonyoung..."

"It doesn't matter...I rarely ever saw her anyway. How could I miss someone I never really knew?" Soonyoung asks with a broken, quiet chuckle at the end. 

Soonyoung then turned around once again and walked away, leaving Chan standing in the middle of the hallway alone. 

As the end of the day came, Seokmin already gathered up a group of boys to beat Soonyoung up. Seokmin explained to the boys that they had to stop hurting Soonyoung when he cried out for help and they all understood.  

Once the last bell rang, the three boys dragged Soonyoung outside behind the school once school ended.

The boy who dragged him outside pushed him against the wall and punched him in the stomach. 

Jihoon and Seokmin were behind the corner, waiting for the cue so Jihoon could go and stop the group of boys. 

As the three boys were beating Soonyoung badly, Soonyoung was beaten, bruised and bloody. His body ached all over and all he could let out were slow painful tears, having them rush down his cheeks. 

After an hour or two with Soonyoung not saying anything, not telling the bullies to stop or cry for help, the bullies decided to stop. 

Before leaving, one of the bullies looked at Soonyoung in confusion and asks "hey, I wanna know something." 

Soonyoung slowly and shakily looked up at the boy, meaning 'yes?' 

"I wanted to know why you didn't call out for help or tell us to stop...why you just let it all happen?" 

Soonyoung took a deep breath out, sitting up and leaning his back against the wall for support. He then started to explain "I've been bullied all my life, I know there's no point on telling the bully to stop because it'll just make them want to hit you harder. I didn't cry out for help because no one would help me." 

"No one would help you?" The bully repeats. 

"Yeah, it's as easy as that. No one would want to help the new kid getting beat up. No one's going to want to help the boy who has no friends. Most people would be grateful if I died." Soonyoung says with a cough at the end. 

While hearing this, tears were rushing down Jihoon's face, he had no clue Soonyoung felt this way now. He was so curious on what happened to Soonyoung in the two years he was away to make him feel this way. 

As the bully walked away, Soonyoung staid sitting down, blood still coming from his forehead. 

Jihoon wiped the last of his tears away and walked up to him slowly, looking down at him with. 

As Soonyoung looked up at him Jihoon sighed and held out his hand, saying "how did I know this was going to happen?" 

Soonyoung looked at Jihoon and remembered back in elementary when Jihoon did the same thing and looked down, he didn't want to remember the horrible memories. 

"Soonyoung?" Jihoon faintly says, still holding out his hand. 

Soonyoung bit his bottom lip and was holding back tears, he didn't want to cry in front of Jihoon when seeing him again after two years. 

Jihoon went down onto his knees and says "you can cry if you want too..." 

As Jihoon said that, Soonyoung couldn't help it, he leaned against Jihoon and put his head on Jihoon's shoulder, sobbing into it. 

Jihoon rubbed Soonyoung's back, meaning it was okay and hugged him tightly.

As Seokmin watched this all from a distance, he had a smile on his face and walked away, feeling his work was done. 

Soonyoung was still sobbing into Jihoon's shoulder while saying "J-Jihoon, I have something to tell you." 

Jihoon looked down at Soonyoung and staid quiet, listening to what Soonyoung had to say.

"B-Back in elementary when I called you a disgusting fag, it wasn't you who was the disgusting fag, it was me. I actually liked you, no...I still like you. I like you so much my heart hurts when I look at you and remember when I called you. I know you have Seokmin and I want you both to be happy...but I love you" Soonyoung says, sobbing even more. 

Jihoon couldn't believe what he was hearing, he was in total shock, he had mixed feelings and didn't know what expression to show. "S-Soonyoung, I don't like Seokmin, I like you!" Jihoon exclaims. 

Soonyoung slowly raised his head from Jihoon's shoulder, looking at him confused. Blood was streaming down one side of his face and tears were rushing down his cheeks. "What?" He asks as if he hadn't heard properly. 

"I said I liked you! Back then in elementary school I liked you the whole time. Seokmin was just teaching me how to kiss when you caught us kissing in the music room. I wanted to kiss you, I love you Soonyoung!" Jihoon exclaims. 

Soonyoung didn't know what this feeling was in his stomach but it felt like something he once long knew. It was the feeling of happiness. 

Jihoon then leaned forward and kissed Soonyoung on the lips. "I love you Soonyoung, I really do...do you want to go out with me?" Jihoon asks. 

Soonyoung was confused but happy at the same time. It was like all his dreams came true, he smiled while nodding, kissing Jihoon on the lips once again. Then hugging him tightly and crying tears of joy.

Next chapter will be the last chapter for this fan fiction. Wow thank you all for reading this fan fiction, it really means a lot to me that you did~ I kind of made it similar to the first chapter when it showed Soonyoung beat up behind the school, it was like the same thing as that, (maybe like a dejavu of a memory. I don't know what to call it.) Thank you for reading.
