Someone like him (Hyuk X Hyun)

chapter 02

When Hyun got back from the infirmary, all eyes are on him like he just grew two heads. Some of them are from curiosity, some of them are concern, but most of them are the filled with fear and despise.

A knot begin to tied up in Hyun's stomach as he swallow lump of saliva in his throat.

He slowly walk, trying to get past the crowds with his head hang low,
he need to give the stuff he picked on the run no matter how heavy his body feel right now.

They have right to fear him, to hate him even. Hyun is a monster and he already know the obvious, he could be turning anytime, and harm them anytime. They couldn't even blink when he was around.

A few month ago, Hyun always dreaming to be in position like this. Where everyone was scare of him. Where everyone want to run away from him in fear they'll get torn apart by him. If they were afraid of him, then they wouldn't push him around, kick him and yelled at him for no reason. They won't add him in a groupchat filled with people who used to be his friends and told him to kill himself everyday.

But now he wasn't sure if he should be delighted to be treated this way. People walk pass him with fear in their eyes, shaking and holding their breath until he's out of their sight.

He can hear people murmur and exchange words when he walk pass them, word 'monster' and 'shush, he'll hear us.' get tossed around like prayers. As if he couldn't hear, but he didn't care.

They can try to reach him to his core all they want. To get on his nerve, to get him out of their life.
It doesn't matter.

Hyun surprised when he open the security room to find Jisu and Jayhun waiting for him instead of just, Hyuk, usually. They were talking to Hyuk and Eun before he open the door. Jisu and Jayhun greet him with warm smile upon his arrival, while the Lee's siblings gave him the usual look.

"Welcome back!" Jisu said, making her way toward him with open arm.

Hyun only blink at her as response before scratching his head awkwardly, receiving Hyun's response, Jisu pulled her arm back and laugh awkwardly. "I uhm- sorry, that was overfriendly, I'm glad you manage to return back in one piece." Jisu said, not looking at Hyun out of embarrassment.

"Welcome back." Jayhun said behind her, he gave Hyun's shoulder a soft pat.

Hyun muttered a weak 'thank you' before shrugging off his backpack to take out stuff he assigned to get, he took out a list with neat handwriting and place it on the security room table. He then snake his hand inside his backpack and pulled out more random stuffs, female essential stuff, books, food, batteries and other stuff he's not interested in knowing what it was used for. When he's done emptying his backpack, he closed the zip and shrug it on his shoulder back before making his way toward the door.

"Hyun, wait." a voiced stopped him from his track. He turn his head to look the voice source.

Hyuk holding something, that look like a book in his hand. Waving it in the air with lazy motion.

"This book is yours." he said,

"huh?" Hyun raised his eyebrows,

"This list say, it was yours, or, was requested to get picked.. for you." Hyuk holding out the list in front of his face,
'Novel, for Hyun Cha' written with slightly messy and rushed handwriting.

Hyun mouth gap open slightly,

'someone actually requested him to find something for him..?'

Hyun slowly took the pink book off Hyuk's hand, he eyeing the book for a seconds before looking back at Hyuk who's busy scanning the list. Jisu and Jayhun was talking about something with Eun, not even noticing when he left.
