<<Time Skip to the first class>>

3rd Person's POV

Everyone was in the class, well except someone.

"Where's Mr. Byun?" Mark asks turning to his bench partner, Sooyun, with a doubtful look. Mr. Byun was a person who would always be on time, rather 15 minutes early. So it was weird to see that he wasn't in class yet, 10 minutes after the bell rang. 

"I don't kno-- oh lookie there, Mr Byun!" The class turned to the door to see their teacher, walking, with a peculiar look on his face. "Good morning Mr Byun!" 

On a casual basis the young 28-year-old teacher would look at the high-schoolers with a smile and greet them back with a powerful, 'Good morning guys!' but today it was just a plain, 'Hmm.. good morning.'

Today Baekhyun seemed in a different mood. He had something else on his mind. He wasn't in his teaching mood. And the students could make it out really easily. He wasn't himself today. 

Anyways, Baekhyun went up to the the front of the class, as the students silenced down to hear what he had to say. 

"Good morning students. I am really sorry for the delay today. Today I have gotten some really important work from the school so I won't be able to teach you today. I want everyone to be revising the previous work done in class. It will be assessed upon tomorrow. If you have any doubts let me know. I hope I am clear?" "Yes Mr. Byun!" The class replied. "Good. Now please get on to your work."

Few of the students took out their books to follow the teacher's command, but again, 99% of the class started talking and doing there thang. "Yo, guys, don't you think it is strange?" Haechan asks. Haechan and Minhee sat at the seats next to Mark and Sooyun and YangYang sat behind them with Jungwoo.

"If you are talking about Mr Byun's behavior, yes it is." YangYang replies. "What do you think's the reason?" Sooyun asks. "We don't know him personally you know.. wait but someone does.." As soon as Minhee's sentence finished everyone's glares go to Jungwoo, who seemed distracted since morning. "Yo, Jungwoo, have any idea what's wrong with Mr. Byun? Jungwoo!" Jungwoo was in his own world, and his eyes were looking distantly at nothing. It was like he was lost in thought. 

"Sooyun-ah, you try, he won't listen to any of us but you. Hell, he'll give his life if you asked for it." YangYang says with a smirk on his face. "Shut the hell up before I silence you forever." She says with a scary look on her face making YangYang stop. "What's wrong with him today though? He wont talk to anyone." Haechan says with a puzzled look on his face. "Sooyun, you ask him." 

"WHY ME?! CAN'T MARK, MINHEE, YANGYANG OR ANYONE ELSE WHO IS NOT ME DO IT?!" She says. "The thing is, Yoonie-ah, that he is madly in love with you, and obviously he'll listen to whatever you say, am I right, y'all?" "No you are not right Mark, and he is NOT in love with me. And instead of focusing on my love life let's figure out what's going on with Mr. Byun." She says, putting an end to the conversation calmly. 

"Yo, Jungwoo.." YangYang says slightly tapping his shoulder, making him flinch. "Um, ya?" He says, looking back at him. "Where are you lost?" Minhee asks making him shake his head. "Something's up and I can sense it. What is bothering you?" Sooyun asks, diverting Jungwoo's attention totally towards her. "N-no guys. I am fine. Really." "You don't look like." Mark comments making everyone nods in agreement. 

"Jungwoo, we are your friends or not?" Haechan asks making him sigh. "Hey I thought of saying that first!" Minhee says in an offended way. "But I said it first." Haechan returns.

"I thought of it first!"

"The thought doesn't matter dude, the action does." 

"Can you two let your competitive asses down for a minute?!" Sooyun yells. 

"But I was first.."

"Just stop guys." YangYang says, rolling his eyes. "Yes Jungwoo, you were saying..?" Mark asks, stopping the bickering for the moment. "I don't want you guys to get involved so I don't think it is right to say it.." Jungwoo replies returning his attention to the textbook. "Oh come on.. I know you aren't gonna study that." Sooyun says, snatching the book away. "Hey! We are gonna be tested on that tomorrow!" "Can't you just study at home like everyone else?" Minhee says, giving her 'duh' look. "No Minhee-yah he is just pretending to quote-on-quote study to escape our question. And I am NOT returning you this textbook until you give us a valid reason!" Sooyun adds. "Waaah~ I taught you blackmailing well didn't I?" Haechan says, wiping his fake tears. "Yes teacher-nim." Sooyun replies, with a fake smile.  

"Is it really compulsory to tell you all?" Jungwoo says looking around at us. "YES IT IS!" Everyone says consecutively. "The thing is that.."

A while ago, (Jungwoo's POV)

I was just taking something from my locker when Baekhyun hyung approached me. "Hey Jungwoo.." "Hey hyung! What's up?" "I need to talk to you."  He said in a serious tone. "Hyung, you sound serious. What is it?" "He will be back." "Who?" "Mr. Kim." "What the--" "And he is not alone. Jungwoo, you're gonna have a step-brother now." "WHAT?!"

Back to the moment,

"WHAT?!" 

"So shouldn't you be, I don't know, happy?" Sooyun asks. "You don't know him, Sooyun. He is the reason of all the pain in my life." He says with a anxious sigh. "And what about your step brother?" Minhee asks. "Hyung told me he is a brat, and Mr. Kim bought him in so I don't expect much." Jungwoo replied, visibly disappointed. 

"When is he coming?" Haechan asks. "After summer vacations." Jungwoo says. "Then you have ample amount of time to get ready, don't you?" Mark says, putting his hand on the latter's shoulder. "I don't know, guys. Most of you guys won't even be here." 

Sooyun, Mark and YangYang were going back to their respective hometowns. No specific reasons, just for a escape from everyday life. They would be leaving on the first week of vacays. 

"Aish, Jungwoo-yah, don't make me feel guilty for going.." Sooyun says, fake crying. "Same.." YangYang and Mark add, whining. "That wasn't my intention. But if you say so.." He says shrugging.

Soon the class ended and the gang seperated their ways.

Sooyun and Mark walked to Jaemin's homeroom for they had their next class, Physics, together. Jungwoo headed along with Haechan for Chemistry and Minhee and YangYang made their way for French, where they would be Felix as well. 

Let's focus on Minhee and YangYang right now. 

"Did you do your homework assignment?" YangYang asked. "Yeah.. It was easy if you ask me." Minhee replied, taking out her textbook from her locker. "I know right?!" They laughed together. "What do you think about him?" Minhee asked suddenly. "Who're you talking about?" YangYang asks. "I am talking about Jungwoo's step-brother pabo! Will he be nice?" "From the way Jungwoo speaks about him, he doesn't seem to be a really friendly guy. But we cannot prejudge." YangYang replies. "Wise words by THE Liu YangYang." Minhee says and they start laughing. 

May they might've known it or not, they liked each other. They enjoyed each second spent together. Each moment was a cherished one, and everyone had felt that they were made for each other. Everyone loved these two together.. well maybe not everyone.

Behind the wall, peeking at them, was Haechan, seeing the two, together, laughing.

He sighed to himself. Maybe a tear or two dripping from his eyes, he felt this blunt pain. He didn't know what this emotion was. He knew the two liked each other, but something about it would just set his mood off.

He quietly wiped of his tears and said to himself...

"You're laughter is all I want to hear, Minhee, even if I am not the reason."

"I am here for you, waiting for you, even if I know that you're already someone else's."
