At a park-
“Hey Brother, when are you going to let me play on the swing? You have been sitting on it for a while now.” A little girl with pigtails said looking at the teenage boy who was dazedly sitting on the swing.
“Yuxi dear, Let the young man be. He is injured and it’s getting late. Let’s head home, I will give you a lot of treats. Go to papa.” The child’s mother approached them and softly said. Yuxi was overjoyed and instantly sprinted towards her father.
The child’s mother looked at the boy, gently shook him as she asked him “Are you okay?”
The boy came out of daze and glanced at her before nodding his head “Yeah, I am sorry. I was just… Umm thinking.”
“Thinking, huh? Just the fact that you have been here thinking dully for so long means something is really troubling you. Then Let me give you a piece of my mind. If you can do something about the issue then, do it or else burdening about the things that you cannot handle will only bring you harm. Take care” Just like that she left the park with her family.
Quan Long stared at the disappearing back of the woman, who just advised him, for a while before standing up. Since he injured his leg (For those who cannot remember, He was injured when a pile of notes fell on his leg.), He slowly made his way towards his apartment.
“If you know someone is unapproachable, then why bother approaching. You will just get their hopes high.”
Those words kept roaming around his mind for the past hours since they had an argument.
‘Was it wrong of me to judge her so quickly? But still, how could she be so cold-hearted to overlook something so serious like bullying? I just hope those girls are okay. I am having a headache pondering about it again and again. I should just head home and get some rest.’
After reaching home, as though complete energy drained off him, He laid down on the couch and fell asleep.
-In the middle of the night-
*Cough*
“Oh, I am cold. Did I fell asleep on the couch? I should head to bed.” Quan Long said as he got up from the couch and began to head to his bed.
In midst of that, He heard his phone ringing. “Who is it?”
The caller ID was unknown. He picked it up.
“Hello? Who is this?” Quan Long asked drowsily.
“Hey, Class President. I mean Leader Long. It’s me Chang Min.” A loud voice rang out from the other side.
