HOSEOK'S POV
====================
5th September 2019

I missed the train today.

As I arrived at the station, I saw it pulling torturously into the distance and my heart sank because I knew I wouldn't be able to see you.

I tried to make it in time.

I promise.

It wasn't my fault Dad made me stay behind...

I ran and ran as fast as my legs would carry me.

It just wasn't fast enough.

Defeated, I slumped into a metal station bench, not noticing the autumn dew that had collected on it which was now spreading uncomfortably into my jeans.

I never realized how much I enjoyed your company until I was kept away from you.

Why does it hurt so much?

Just then, I felt a rough hand grab the back of my rainbow jumper and yank me off the bench.

The masked man in black said something to me but the noise cancelling muted him.

I panicked, struggling in his right grip.

He seemed angry and swung his fist, catching my cheekbone.

The force was enough to send my headphones flying off my ears and clattering across the platform until they fell onto the rails.

"I SAID TO HAND OVER YOUR SHIT!" The man yelled.

Pain racked through my ears and I cried out, desperately trying to cover them with my hands.

However, the man pinned them down.

"STOP MOVING, YOU RAT!"

I felt him grope my pockets and viciously grab the wallet that was buried inside one.

With another swipe, my phone was also in his possession.

Before I could process anything else, the man threw me to the ground and I cried out again.

Sound was attacking me left, right and center.

It was loud...

So very loud...

I remember screaming...

I remember clawing at my ears...

I don't remember passing out...
