*KA-THUNK*
His head slams against the back wall of the classroom, gasps echo from around the room.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO, YOU LITTLE S***?!?"
Choi Minseo's voice booms throughout the room and into the hallway as students from other classes gather around.
"I-I-I'm sorry I c-can't just let you talk d-down on my family and my b-beliefs…"
"CAN IT WOOBIN YOU DUMBA**, EVERYONE KNOWS THAT GREEK MYTHOS IS JUST A FAKE EXPLANATION FOR THINGS HAPPENING HAPPENING IN THE WORLD!"
The people who laugh at the absurdity of my beliefs turn his ears and face bright red to match the color of the blood dripping from his battered up nose. He musters up the courage to yell back,
"S-STOP SAYING THAT MINSEO, IT DOESN'T EVEN AFFECT YOU WHY DO YOU CARE?"
"Getting bold are we Woobin? How many times should I hit you for that? Hmmm… I think at least 5 times, yeah that sounds right to me! Get ready!!"
Woobin's jaw clenches tight and he squeezes his eyes shut as…
*THUMP*
*THUMP*
*THUMP*
*THUMP*
*CRACK*
"AAAAGGGGHHHH"
*cough cough cough*
"Aughhhhhh, M-Minseo p-please n-n-no more…"
He barely gets the words out while gasping for breath and clutching the right side of his chest.
"That should be enough for now, don't ever mention that bullsh** around me again."
*Hwik-tooh*
Choi Minseo's spit lands directly on his face already wet from the tears and blood.Â
"Go clean yourself up in the bathroom, I don't want to get into trouble from knocking some sense into you. If you don't or I even catch a whiff of you telling someone about this you are a dead man."
Woobin braces himself up against the wall as he drags himself to the bathroom, every step feeling like he is getting stabbed in the side.Â
Once he gets to the bathroom he splashes some water on his face and starts to scrub at the blood with his hands, crying all the while.Â
"It's ok Woobin, you just have to wait 2 more weeks until you graduate high school and get to awaken your powers… you got this!"
He tries to calm his mind and get ready to go back to class as if nothing happened.
Woobuin walks in slowly, and he takes his seat.Â
"Hello class, I hope lunch was good, as you all know finals are in two weeks…
A sigh of exasperation escapes almost every students mouth
but with that comes graduation and the day of awakening!"
*CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP*
*WOOOOOOOOO*
*YEAHHHHHH*
In contrast to the previous sighs and dreading of finals the class erupts with cheers and clapping, and the professor cracks a wry smile.Â
"But first we must get to work studying for these finals, please open your books to page 296!"
The next two weeks were a blur of studying and getting ready for the day of awakening
Woobin couldn't stop thinking about what cool potential powers he could awaken. What if he got the power to control the sky like Zeus or the power to control the sea like Poseidon
