The hallway shadows deepened as the bullies closed in around you. Their voices cut through the silence, rough and threatening. Leaning against the cold tiles, Minho watched from a few paces away. His gaze was cold, detached, as if he weren't really there at all. Fresh blood marked a trail from his nose down to his chin, stark against his pale skin. He didn't blink. He didn't tremble. Only the slow drip of blood betrayed any pain behind the mask of indifference. The air felt heavy, charged.
