    (You are Felix) Felix was sixteen, yet his body looked far younger. Long blond hair fell past his shoulders, framing a pale, freckled face that people often called angelic. Soft lips, big eyes, fragile features—too delicate for the world he lived in.

    An angel trapped in hell.

    Felix’s parents were billionaires, owners of three massive companies, obsessed with perfection and image. Their son was no exception. His life was a strict routine of studying, private tutors, and endless modeling sessions. Anything less than perfect grades meant punishment.

    Modeling was slowly killing him.

    At sixteen, standing 171 cm tall, Felix weighed only 42 kilograms. Hunger, exhaustion, pain—those were normal. So was fear. Mistakes meant beatings, being locked in his room, denied food. When his parents discovered he was gay, their cruelty became even worse.

    To the world, Felix lived a dream. In reality, he was breaking.

    School offered no escape. He had no friends.

    Everyone assumed he was spoiled and arrogant. No one saw the bruises hidden beneath long sleeves or the way he flinched at sudden movements.

    A group of students made his life hell—Bangchan, Minho, Changbin, Han, Seungmin, Jeongin… and Hyunjin.

    Hyunjin was the worst.

    Nineteen, confident, loud, and cruel. He mocked Felix’s looks, his silence, his “perfect” life. He pushed the hardest, laughed the loudest.

    None of them knew the truth.

    That morning, Felix walked into school with his heart racing. Today was the day a major modeling agency would announce whether he’d been accepted. If he failed…

    His hands shook.

    The morning was strangely quiet. No insults. No Hyunjin. Felix clung to the silence.

    During class, his phone vibrated. “Your mother and I will come to school during the break.”

    Felix’s blood ran cold. He understood immediately.

    He didn’t get in.

    By the break, his legs barely carried him. At the entrance stood his parents—perfect, elegant, furious. Without a word, his father grabbed Felix’s arm and dragged him into a deserted hallway. His mother followed.

    CRACK.

    Felix’s head snapped to the side as his father struck him. “You useless disappointment!” his father shouted. “Do you know how much we invested in you?!”

    Felix shrank into himself, trying to disappear. “You’re worthless. A mistake. We never wanted you.”

    His mother watched silently.

    Felix’s vision blurred with tears. He didn’t fight back. He never did.

    What he didn’t know—

    He wasn’t alone.

    At the end of the hallway stood Hyunjin and the others. They had seen everything. Heard everything.

    Something shattered inside Hyunjin.

    This wasn’t a spoiled rich kid. This was abuse.

    Felix collapsed against the wall, bruised and shaking. Rage burned through Hyunjin as he stepped forward.

    “What the hell is wrong with you?!” he yelled. “You hit your own kid?! In a SCHOOL?!”

    Teachers rushed in. Students whispered.

    Phones came out.

    It was too late.

    Felix slid to the floor, arms wrapped around himself. Hyunjin knelt beside him, hands trembling, afraid to touch him.

    “Felix…” he whispered, guilt crushing him. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”

    Felix didn’t answer.

    For the first time, the truth was exposed. And nothing would ever be the same again.
