Guess We'll Have To Keep Seeing Each Other

IS THAT TRUE
YAS
OKEY DOKEY YO

Baek Kyung wakes up to the sound of a hiphop music being played as an alarm ringtone.

Who the fuck sets this horrible noise as an alarm

Baek Kyung took his watch on the lamp table next to his bed and checks the time.

WHAT THE FUCK 1.40 AM? THIS ISN'T SOUTH KOREA

Baek Kyung swore to God he's going to kill this asshole of a roommate--

After seeing the state his roommate is in, he gasped and jumped back.

WHY THE FUCK IS HE SHIRTLESS AND WEARING A FUCKING TIGER MOTIVE BOXER?

"YA BASTARD, TURN OFF THE FUCKING ALARM" Baek Kyung said while shaking the shit out his sleeping roommate, using a hockey stick :)

"YA WAKE THE FUCK UP"

But to no avail, add jetlag to a habit of sleeping like a dead man, that alarm is going stay on unless he dismiss it himself.

Urgh whatever

After picking up the phone and dismissing the alarm, he jumped back to his bed, and closed his eyes

_

"Ya, wake up"

Han seojun wakes up to the voice of the asshole who fought with him yesterday and a splash of water on his face.

"WHAT THE FUCK WHY DID YOU SPLASH WATER ON MY FACE?!"

"You're late" Baek Kyung said, eyes on his phone as he walks out the room, already in his uniform.

Seojun checks the time on his phone. 7.50 AM. Shit. He only has 10 minutes to prepare and walk to the hall before assembly at 8.

Well isn't this nice

He jumps out of his bed and immediately puts on his uniform, brushes his teeth, and even managed to bite a chunk of protein bar, all under the pressure of the house master's shoutings.

"SEOJUN HAN, YOU BETTER GET OUT HERE QUICKLY OR I'LL LOCK YOU IN THE DORM"

"AISH SHIT I'M LATE" Another heavy sleeper, namely Joo Seokkyung is running with all her might to the school bike station which is located just a few meters away from her dorm porch.

The good thing about this school is that they provide bikes. Not every school has this. Students are free to ride the bikes as long as they return it to where they belong at the end of the day, or at least that's what she heard yesterday.

Just as she was about to reach for the bike, the very last bike, a basketball hits her head.

The pain hits as soon the ball touches her head and soon she lost balance and fell down.

"Ouch you son of a bitch!"

"Sorry asshole, this bike is mine" He said, smiling.

Urgh that annoying smile

She didn't get to take a glimpse of his nametag, but she saw his face clearly. His face looks like he appeared straight out of webtoon.

I'm going to hunt this motherfucker down and burn him in hell

_

The assembly was hell for Soojin. The headmaster is known for his incredibly long and boring speeches. God clearly wasn't being kind to Soojin today because the headmaster is still alive and still delivers his speeches the same way.

Next to her sits Baek Kyung, who, despite never agreeing to whatever Soojin says, is in the same page with her when it comes to this whole assembly shit.

"Ya Baek Kyung" she nudged him with her elbow.

"Shut the fuck up"

"Come on I know this shit bores you" she smirks, knowing he agrees.

"Yes, but I'd rather listen to this shit than listening to you"

Ouch. That shit hurts. No, actually it will hurt if those words are said to someone else. But not to Soojin. She just scoffs lightly and carefully takes out her phone.

No, that chrome t-rex isn't a cool game to play, but hey desperate call desperate measure right?

She knows Baek Kyung is watching her screen. She knows he's bored to death and it's only a moment before he makes an excuse and leave the hall, angry, and returning right before the assembly ends.

"Wanna play? This is fun" she said, ticking him off.

"No thanks"

"Clearly you're bored, at least I got this awful pixel dinosaur with me"

He just scoffs.

"How bout you Kyung? You've got no one right?" she continues.

His knuckles are white. She can see it clearly. She then finds his eyes staring at her with an unspoken anger.

Soojin is just waiting for him to explode on her. But instead, he forces a smile to her, leans into her and whispers

"Darling, you're right. I lost to you at that part. Why? Because see, you've got a friend in this school"

"What do you mean? If you mean that friend is you I have to strongly disagree--"

"No. Han Seojun moved here yesterday. A hello from your past again huh? I guess you can't run away from your past, now can you?" he smiles winningly as he breaks away from her and stood up from his seat.

Soojin turned pale at that revelation. A fragment of her past is here with her. She went here to run away from her demons which are her home, her family, and her past. Now a living witness, no scratch, a living participant from that past is here with her.

Her eyes search frantically through the crowds of the hall. Suddenly, her eyes spotted a figure she knows so well. A player in a disastrous play she calls her life. Han Seojun.

He notices, he sees her too. Their eyes met.

Guess we'll have to keep seeing each other, Kang Soojin
