unlikely hero || past || namjoon + tabi
most days seunghyun keeps his head down, keeps his books held tightly, keeps his eyes on the floor or the doors or the chairs, or anywhere that doesn't include eye-contact. he walks through the school like this, a ghost in his own skin, hoping above hope that he can sift through the crowds unnoticed as much as possible. he lives his life day to day, putting one foot in front of the other, and for right now that seems to be the only way to survive.
but his size and stature at the school, his reputation for being weak and pathetic, always proceeds him and even though not every student joins in on the teasing and bullying, most of them at least do laugh at him or just watch while he is mercilessly torn apart. it is a rare day that anyone steps in-- so rare in fact, he's long since given up expectations of it, never uttering a "help me" in his goddamn life. when they come for him, all he can do is curl up and hope the bruises don't last too long. even the teachers don't try to save him at this point-- which is surprising given when you think about how much wealth the choi family has. with a word, seunghyun could probably have this whole building burnt to the ground. instead he stays silent.
