Chapter Text
Everyone could see plain as day that Sehun and Kyungsoo’s relationship was toxic, but no one knew how bad it truly was behind closed doors.
Tears fell from Kyungsoo’s eyes as he held his cheek; it stung from the slap he had just received. He was on the floor, laying in a fetal position as his boyfriend yelled at him.
Kyungsoo had expressed his concerns to Sehun that he had gotten too close with some of their female classmates and Sehun had gotten angry and lashed out at him.
Instead of apologizing and trying to repair the relationship, Sehun had only made it worse. Kyungsoo tried to stay on his good side and do things that he knew Sehun liked or was fine with him doing, but even then nothing seemed okay. He was scared to do anything most days.
Sehun sighed in irritation and walked out the front door, slamming it behind him, and Kyungsoo sat up when he heard his car start up. He watched his boyfriend’s red sports speed down the street and out of his view.
A few minutes later, Kyungsoo was walking around again. He washed his face and got himself something to eat before sitting down at the table to start on his school work.
The only thing that doesn’t seem to be failing is his grades. It’s all he has left and he can’t let them fail too.

A few months passed by and Kyungsoo had enough.
What finally pushed him over the edge was when he walked into their shared apartment and heard him having sex with someone that wasn’t him. He stormed into the room and pulled Sehun up to his feet before punching him right in the face.
Sehun fell to the ground, completely unconscious, and Kyungsoo turned to the woman who had shielded her naked body from Kyungsoo’s eyes.
“I don’t know what you think of him, but he’s an asshole and not worth dating. He’ll abuse the shit out of you if you stay with him. Good luck, if you do.”
And with that, he left. He called a classmate and asked if he could room with them for the rest of the semester or until he was able to find a place of his own. They happily obliged and even offered to pick Kyungsoo up so he wouldn’t have to find his own way to their apartment.
A proud smile formed on his lips when he saw the woman run out of the building a few minutes later with her stuff in her hands.
