In Lyan's house“Hyung, wake up, Its already late. We have to get ready for our classes.”Young Dallin made valiant attempts to rouse his slumbering older brother from the clutches of sleep. The impending spectre of their looming classes hung over them, yet the elder remained cocooned in the embrace of slumber, impervious to Dallin's urgings. Persistence yielded to affection as Dallin surrendered his efforts, nestling beside Lyan. With a tenderness reserved for such moments, he ruffled Lyan's hair, his voice a mixture of care and concern."Hyung, the teacher won't spare us if we're late again," Dallin's voice carried a hint of worry.“Let me sleep for a while, Baby Dallin. I'm tired you know. I want some sleep. I worked late at night” As he said Dallin was a little shocked.Yeah, Lyan's weariness manifested, a product of toiling through a late-night shift at a part-time job. The purpose behind this nocturnal labour emerged: they needed to assemble enough money to tackle their impendi
Dallin came up victorious in his encounter with the cat man. They managed to secure permission to attend their classes, but Lyan faced difficulties in misleading Dallin about his work schedule. Convincing the young one posed a challenge for Lyan.Meanwhile, on the other side, two boys maintained silence, the dimpled boy Aaron and the tiger pup Ederic. Ederic's mind was romaing here and there thinking many but Ederic's thoughts were interrupted by Ederic's question."Hey, what are you doing near my class?" Ederic snapped out of his reverie upon hearing the elder's voice. He glanced around before inquiring about his missing bracelet."Hyung, where is my Bracelet?" His question was direct, yet he felt uneasy about starting the conversation. That's so bold of him to ask Aaron about bracelet though he was scared to ask this man who dumped Ederic in the store room and pushed him into a river, last but not least snatched his bracelet which was given by his mom.“Your Bracelet”, Mocking laugh
The young boy who quickly fled the scene upon witnessing the younger ones being attacked turned out to be Aaron's classmate. Arriving late to his class, he stumbled upon the distressing sight of his fellow classmate's brutal behavior. He hurried over, breathless from the rush."Aaron..." The boy panted, struggling to regain his breath. Curious stares from the classmates in the room bore into him."He's... He is beating your little brother," he managed to convey amidst his gasps. The disclosure sent shockwaves through Aaron. Unaware of who the attacker was, he scanned the room. A realization clicked in his sharp mind.The trio of troublemakers had yet to make their appearance in class. Aaron's deduction was on point. Standing up abruptly, a stir of murmurs and whispers rippled through his classmates as they observed his actions.He headed for the classroom door, only to be halted by the teacher who had just entered for the day's first session.But Aaron was not to be stopped. He brushe
An hour later, Aaron and Alistair stood in silence, the weight of the recent incident heavy between them. The student who was injured by Aaron had already been rushed to the hospital for treatment. The extent of the injury was severe, confining the injured one to a hospital bed for an expected three to four months. The contrast of Aaron's actions were striking.In this tense atmosphere, Mr Alit and Mr Vill entered the room simultaneously. Their parents had been called together, and both fathers were visibly affected. It was a rare occurrence for Mr Alit to receive a call from the school, interrupting an important meeting. The shock of the principal's words during that call echoed deeply.Similarly, Mr Vill's plans were abruptly altered when he received a call just as he was preparing for a business trip. Swiftly cancelling his flight, his concern for his son's situation took priority.As the fathers' gazes met the nonchalant expressions of their sons, there was no sign of shock or gu
Left alone in the frigid room, Ederic found himself yearning to escape the relentless ache within his heart, contemplating an end to the ceaseless torment. The agony, a silent predator, consumed him, leading him to rue his very existence.Other sideAll the problems were solved by Mr Alit and Mr Vill. Acknowledging the errors on both sides, the parents of the boy who had harmed Ederic humbly apologized to Mr. Alit. After that they come to see the little one who had lain in a hospital bed for over three hours.Unfazed by protocols, Alistair bypassed the principal's permission and hurried to Ederic's classroom to see for the younger. Amid Mr. Vill's reluctant sigh, it was evident Alistair was torn, a reluctance mirrored in facing the fragile innocence before him.Once the storm had settled in the principal's office, they convened at the school hospital. With news of Ederic's situation, they quickened to his bedside. Clasping the young one's hand with an unwavering grip, Alistair's whis
It had been a whole month since the incident that had happened Ederic. He remained confined to his room throughout this time, adamantly refusing to step outside, not even for a breath of fresh air. If Aaron or anyone else happened to be around, Ederic's seclusion was further solidified, he wouldn't even have the thought of getting a glimpse beyond the room."Ederic, why are you always staying in the room? At least go to the garden for fresh air. Do you want to suffocate in this room" "No, Eomma... I'm fine staying here. I felt really comfortable here. don't worry about me, if I walk, my wounds were hurting you know. I could not tolerate the pain. Eomma”Despite his wounds having long since healed, he carried on whining like a helpless kid, using it as an excuse to avoid interaction with everyone.In his universe, his mother's presence was all he needed right now. He was determined not to give in to the shadows."Alright, alright... Stay here and focus on your studies for your upcoming
"Yep, everything's all better now. No need to worry. I'm a tough guy," Ederic said with pride. The bunny boy once again couldn't help but chuckle at how adorable he was. This tiger pup had a way of winning everyone's heart, but why hadn't that one with the dimpled man fallen for him yet? Little did they know, that 148 IQ Dumb guy, had actually fallen for him the first time they met. They chatted for a bit, and then Alistair had to leave due to some work he had in the teacher's office.Today turned out to be lucky for Ederic. Dallin and Lyan were heading towards the classroom when they spotted the younger one, who seemed ready to leave the school since Alistair had hurriedly left after being called by the teacher. So, he had no reason to stick around."Hey, Little Ed!" Dallin rushed over to the younger boy and gave him a tight hug. It felt like déjà vu, though the person was different this time."Hyungie," Ederic chuckled as Dallin nuzzled his neck. They both spun around while holding
The final exam was just around the corner, and Ederic was busy preparing. He had done well in all his exams so far, but the last one always seemed a bit dull. After this, though, he'd finally get a month-long break and then move up to the next grade. His excitement and happiness were palpable, but he was so engrossed in his studies that he didn't really notice what was happening around him. Spending all his days in his room, it was hard for him to catch anything going on outside.Just two days before his last exam, Ederic was in his room, studying away. It had been over four hours since he'd seen his mother; usually, she'd come by to check on him, but today she hadn't, which left him feeling a bit strange.It was at that moment that he caught a series of noises from outside. Instead of locking his door, he had it slightly ajar to catch any distant sounds. Even with the commotion, he didn't have the luxury to pay much attention. He needed to focus on his studies - the sooner he finish
