Chapter Text
"Don't worry big boy, it's going to be fine!"
His mother repeated to him while sending him to the bus that would take him to his new school. Kihyun hardly believed in it, he had to admit it. He still had to get on board, taking up as little space as possible. The other people in the bus stared at him strangely and Kihyun didn't linger there, used to this kind of behavior. He sat in the back, alone, thinking of the day ahead. Once again, he was going to be alone. He still was, he was getting used to it, but that still made it sad. The school was a thankless thing after all, and it would make you cry blood as much as possible. Perhaps he would suffer a few more teasing, he was almost sure of it.
How many times had he looked in the mirror, watching his eyes, his skin. Some features were Korean, he got them from his father, but it seemed so much that he was not. His eyes were smaller, his skin darker... He hated them, those features. Actually, Kihyun didn't hate them because they were ugly but hated that they were so apparent and that everyone would tease him for it. It was also his first time truly living here and going to school in Korea, as he lived in Japan all his life before.
Unfortunately, he couldn't erase those features, and he hoped that, for once, they wouldn't hurt him so much. He couldn't imagine how much this year would change his life.
