Rude Boy || Seungjin

"You're a little forgetful" he smiles nicely to me and I just nodd my head in response walking besides him to his place. The sun still bright and burning.

We take a 15 minutes walk and after that we enter a very fine apartment building. Once in front of his apartment he opens it to give me a clear view to it. He enters it, and I just stand in the door frame.

"Come in, I still need to find them" I just respond with an almost unhearable 'ok' and enter his place. Everything nice and clean, small though, pretty sure he lives here alone.

He starts looking for my earphones and something grabs my attention in his living room. There's a book shelf filled by lots of interesting titles. Start getting lose in the titles running my fingers through them. I hear some steps entering back to the room I'm at.

"Found them!" He says and later I hear the sound of them being placed on the table.

"Real good books you have in there" I say as I grab my earbuds and put them safely in my pocket.

"Yeah sometimes the internet isn't enough to keep me from boredom" he smiles softly as we start the first actual conversation since yesterday. I just smile back and grab a book that cought my eye, definitely heard of it, haven't read it.

"Turtles all the way down, real good, right?" He states getting closer to me. I open the cover and start reading some words of the first page.

"Haven't read it actually" I say loosing myself completely in the book.

"I can lend it to you, I mean if you want to" I just looked at him. This guy, he's pretty annoying, but is kinda nice to be around him.

"It's kinda funny you know, you give the impression that you only read history books" now he's making fun of me. Don't blame him though. I will think I only do boring stuff, I mean, where's the lie actually.

"Rude." I stare just as he does. "I may be a geek but I'm not cometed to that party tho" is incredible how easy this is coming out. He just laughed at my statement.

"Sure don't look like one" tells me still giggling softly. I'm starting to get a little anxious because I don't know how to respond. The lacking of human interaction in my life is depressing.

"Well... Gotta go mate, thanks for the book, see ya" I make my way to the front door to which he follows me.

"See ya!" He says and wave to me once in the hallway. I make my way back to the lobby and later I'm sitting on the bus stop hearing music, with a book in my hands.

The bus arrives and like that I head back home. I enter the house with my spare key. That means Jisung ain't here and I'm completely home alone, for some hours at least. Instead of going directly to my room I play a series in the tv and start doing my homework on the living room's coffee table.

As I spend most of my days doing homework by today I only have to do things that were assigned today. It wasn't even dark and I had already finished everything.

I just layed on the sofa and started reading the book Hyunjin lend me. It caught my attention almost instantly. I read for an hour or so and then mom and Jisung entered the house hands full of goods. I left the book in the couch and went out to help.

Mom started making dinner while I saved all the things she bought in it's proper place. Jisung headed his room to finish his homework.

We all had dinner together. It is always fun, mom talks about anything and Jisung does his usual dumb remarks, we always end up laughing about it.

My life is pretty monotone, today was different, it was something I've always feared about. Feeling like things are out of control makes me afraid. It's not secure, it's not safe at all. But is boring. And today thought me that it isn't that scary, things didn't went as they usually do, but it was ok.

Today is Thursday and I'm in the History class, we were given an assignment and I finished it really quickly. I had nothing to do and all of a sudden Ms. Yun called me to her desk.

"Seungmin, can I ask you something?" She didn't even gave me a chance to answer when she started talking again

"I need to bring the white board from the science lab. I'll need it in the next class" I just nodded my head and when I was in my way to the door. That blond guy turned in his assignment too. I was out of the classroom and a few meters from there I heard someone running towards me.

"She told me to help you cause is pretty big" his hand over my shoulder. When he realized his actions he took it off and then started walking besides me.

"Are you enjoying the book?" He broke the silence between us once we entered the lab.

"I'm almost finished, it's pretty dope" I said while taking off a cover from the board. There we were, both staring at that huge white thing understanding why she asked him to come with me.

"This won't get through the door" I said with a frustrated face trying to understand what to do. The boy only laughed.

"It has to, if not how come it is in here" he has a point. After that we both grab the board from each sides of it and tried to push it. We couldn't move it a millimeter.

"This thing is old... Maybe it was in here before the school was built" I joke slightly. He starts laughing like crazy. "I mean, that will prove why those wheels don't work" I finished.

"And that will prove you right" he remarked recalling my words about how it won't get through the door.

"Looks like we will need to carry it out" he said to me. We both looked at each other and tried again, but this time we lift it from the floor.

We were finally moving it, but before we got to the door the height difference between us made Hyunjin loose balance and fell in his back against a wall.

"You ok dude?" That slipped out of my mouth, handing him my hand to pull him back up. He grabbed my hand and once again in his feet he grabbed his corner of the board.

"Why don't we change sides?" I suggested and he agreeded. Just like that we walk that thing out of the lab all the way to the history class. Just when we put it in place, the bell rang marking the end of the scholar day.

The blond guy went for his things and I went for mine. When I grabbed my back pack I saw his elbow bleeding.
