"It's 30 minutes to 2:00, we should get going now," Yanan called out to Wonwoo as he was zipping up his bag just after packing it.
"Ok" Wonwoo mumbled as he slung his backpack over his shoulder.
Then they both stepped out of the house, on a journey to find their classroom, 175 (I changed the numbers around so that it wouldn't be the same as Yanan and Wonwoo's room number).
"I want to introduce you to Junhui and he's in the same class so we should stop by his dorm and go together." Yanan suggested eagerly.
"Sure, that would be nice I guess..." Wonwoo whispered coarsely, self conscious of his depressed persona.
They both walked to Junhui and Minghao's dorm in a comfortable silence surrounded by the sounds of college students hustling about. Was it really a silence then? Well at least it was comfortable.
They waited in front of the door for what seemed like ages even though it was only a few minutes so they got minor panic attacks when the door opened.
Junhui stepped out and made a pretty big entrance.
"Hi Yanan it seems like we haven't talked in ages. This must be your room mate. What's your name Yanan's room mate, I'm Junhui. I guess Yanan might have already told you so you probably already know." Junhui blurted out loudly and super fast out of excitement.
"Bruh you're scaring that poor guy. Sorry, man." Minghao interfered sternly.
"Oh sorry dude. What's your name." Junhui bashfully remarked while wrapping his hand around the back of his neck out of embarrassment. He looked a bit hurt by Minghao's words.
"Don't worry Junhui you weren't scaring anyone." calmly reassured Junhui while shooting a dirty look at Minghao.
"My name is Wonwoo, I like gaming and reading." Wonwoo croaked out as positively as he could. Junhui and Minghao were surprised by Wonwoo's coarse, choked up tone and Wonwoo started to feel really uncomfortable. His efforts to show himself as he was before went down the drain. Fortunately Yanan noticed.
"Oh he has a sore throat guys, don't be so surprised." Yanan remarked cheerfully.
"Yeah I do..." Wonwoo replied.
"Oh well nice to meet you Wonwoo, anyways we should get going, if we don't leave now we'll be late." Junhui announced while checking his phone.
"Well does anyone know the directions?" Minghao asked.
There was a silence which seemed longer than it was.
"There's a map in the pouch, I think..." Wonwoo murmured quietly, conscious of his voice.
His croaky voice was taking over him, engulfing him in more darkness and despair. It made him seem pathetic and vulnerable like a dying animal, just run over by a car. People want to help it but they can't do anything so they just pity it.
Yanan took the map out of the pouch and it was folded so it looked like it was A4 sized at the most but when he unfolded it, it kept getting bigger and bigger like his hatred for Xu Minghao. It ended up being 1m long and 1.5m wide.
"Who's folding that up again cause I call dibs not to." Yanan whined sassily while trying to hold up the map with the help of Junhui who'd grabbed it on one end.
"We need to play a game, you can't get out of it just by calling dibs." Junhui argued back, desperately not wanting to fold it up again.
"Guys we need to get to class, so we need to use the map, we can't fold it up now." Minghao interrupted, not wanting to be late on the first day.
