Off Key

#3

Jisung was enjoying his first day of school, he even sat with this one girl at lunch named Lia, but then she had to go to the library.

Jisung was now currently, on his way to detention. When he entered the class he found 6 kids sitting in desks and one kid in the teachers chair. Jisung went to the first desk he saw and they were silent for a second. The silence was interrupted with a hand clap.

"So, welcome to detention, you guys are free to work on whatever, so yeah..." the class started to make a little more noise, by grabbing their stuff out of their bags. One kid was doing homework? Another was making paper balls, one was typing furiously, some guy with had his head down, another was reading, one had earbuds in and then the guy in the front was just on his phone looking up at all the students once in a while. Jisung, decided to work on some lyrics in his notebook. He plugged in his headphones and blocked himself from the world.

It was silent, everyone doing what they were doing... until you could hear Hyunjin silently laughing every 5 minutes.

Seungmin was just minding his business as usual, until Hyunjin had to throw paper balls.....again. Seungmin rolled his eyes and looked back at Hyunjin. He really just had to sit behind me again... "Hyunjin can you please fuck off?" Hyunjin thought about it for a second looking at the ceiling and he faced Seungmin again. "How about no."

Seungmin was really getting pissed off, he always had a short temper. He stood up from his chair and walked over to him, not caring about all the people in the room watching as if it were a movie. "Listen here, you're really fucking annoying me, you tripped me, you threw paper balls at me..twice, you got me detention for the first time and you're annoying the hell out of me, so FUCK OFF!"

Hyunjin snickered slightly. "Nah..." To be honest Hyunjin was a little intimidated by the younger, he had never seen anyone stand up to him, but was he gonna let him know that? No. Before Seungmin could go off again, he heard someone interrupt them, reminding them that there are other people in the room too.

"Wow, you really are an asshole.." Seungmin and Hyunjin's heads turned towards the voice, and so did everyone else. Minho saw everyone's eyes on him but all he did was focus on Hyunjin. "Um, excuse me?" Hyunjin stood up from his chair and stood their glaring at Minho. "What? I'm just being honest." Minho said with a smirk. "Minho, shut the fuck up!"

All heads now turned toward Felix. "Felix, how dare you talk to your older brother like that!" "I don't care, you're being really rude!" The two continued to bicker, while Chan was trying to get everyone to calm down, Seungmin and Hyunjin were also bickering but Hyunjin would stop bickering with Seungmin every once in a while to argue with Minho.

"OMG CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE BE QUIET, I AM TRYING TO READ HERE!" Jeongin spoke up from the corner of the room. Hyunjin walked over to Jeongin and took his manga from his hands, and shot it into the garbage can. "HEY, WHAT THE FUCK?!" Jeongin gave Hyunjin a shove but all Hyunjin did was laugh.

"You're literally adorable." Hyunjin said as he mumbled, barely anyone hearing. Changbin got up from his seat and went to the trash can to go retrieve the manga. After rummaging through the can, Changbin gave it to Jeongin, giving him a pat on the shoulder. "You know, you're really fucking rude." Changbin said as he glared at Hyunjin all the way back into his seat.

"Yeah, literally what the fuck?" Seungmin said. "How am I suddenly the bad guy?" Hyunjin questioned, noticing everyone ganging up on him. "Because quite frankly, what you did was rude."

They all started bickering once again, except for Jisung.

Jisung had his headphones on the whole time, not hearing a single thing anyone was saying, and not even knowing a whole argument was happening. Jisung was so caught up in his own world, that he eventually forgot there were other people with him. He eventually started singing to himself; catching people off guard.

Minho was the first one to hear the voice. He stopped arguing and turned around. When he turned he saw the new kid singing, he thought that was a bit odd but he was kinda lost in a trance. He went closer to the boy, slowly, not trying to interrupt his flow. He sat in a desk behind him and could hear the music coming from his headphones. Minho started to tap his the desk lightly.

He couldn't help but tap on his desk to the beat. Chan who was observing everything going on saw the two, and heard the two. He joined in humming, he couldn't resist a good song to sing along to. Everyone had stopped arguing, and Changbin had chimed in as well.

Felix picked up a guitar that was in the corner of the room and started playing. He was a bit nervous since it had been a while since he last played. Jeongin noticed the atmosphere of the room felt more fun so he joined along.

Seungmin and Hyunjin looked at everyone and were confused and conflicted. Seungmin shrugged his shoulders and started singing. Hyunjin was shocked once he heard the boy start to sing. Oh my god, he sounds amazing.. Hyunjin was staring at Seungmin and he started to sing without even knowing.

Jisung started to hear everyone else sing and was thrown off. He pulled down his headphones, letting them rest on his shoulders but he never stopped singing. A big smile grew on Jisung's face while he decided to unplug his headphones completely and blast the volume of the music.

As soon as the song started to end, everyone was laughing and giggling. Soon after that, nobody made a single sound.

They went back to doing what they did before all that. Chan looked at everyone from the front of the room with wide eyes. "Um, are we really going to ignore what just happened?!" People avoided eye contact with Chan and he just scoffed. "Guys we actually sounded really good!"

"Sorry but I don't know what you're talking about." "Haha, very funny Hyunjin.." Minho rolled his eyes at Chan's and Hyunjin's little debate. He couldn't stop staring at the new kid.. what's his name...is that weird to think?"

"Guys, you know, we could be like...like a band." That seemed to have caught everyone's attention. Everyone had mixed feelings regarding Chan's statement. "But we don't even know each other." Seungmin questioned. "Yeah, for once I agree with puppy face." Hyunjin said resulting in Seungmin rolling his eyes.

"And what's the point?" Felix said butting in. "Well, we could....maybe...." Chan sighed, thinking of all the possible reasons for making a band. "Okay, I don't have anything, but it could be fun!" Chan pushed himself up and sat on the teachers desk with his legs crossed.

"What about the N.C.W.F?" Jeongin said not taking his eyes off of Chan. He doesn't know why but he was drawn to the older guy. "Okay, okay the what?" Jisung looked back and forth at everyone, confused. "It stands for the Night Cloud Winter Festival." Minho said with intimidating eyes. Jisung almost got scared by Minho's tone of voice but couldn't lie, it was kinda hot.

"You basically get 5,000 dollars if you win the music competition." Felix started to speak up, interrupting his brother. "There's one for all the seasons, but the winter one is the biggest one out of all the seasons." Jisung finally understood what it was. Making an 'o' face in result.

"But yes, the N.C.W.F is a really good reason to do this. Look we may not know each other but one thing I can tell is that we all have something drawing us together, I don't know but I feel like this could be our calling, and we sounded really good, you guys can't lie.." Chan saying while getting off the desk.

Chan clapped his hands together and took a big breath. "So, what do you guys say?"
