"What happened to you?" Nicholas worriedly asked when Riki arrived at their spot. He has a frown on his face and his fist are clenched.

"It's nothing" Riki said and tried to calm himself.

"What do you mean it's nothing? Come on, tell me, tell hyung"

"I- hyung.. I'm having a problem" Riki started. He and Nicholas sat at the bench before he continue.

"I'm having this feeling towards Sunoo hyung.. last night, h-he removed his clothes infront of me and I got a reaction. You know what I'm saying"

"Hmm, reaction.. lust?"

"It's not just lust, hyung. I- I think I like Sunoo hyung, yes, I know it's not right but what can I do?!" Riki said and pulled his hair.

Nicholas got quiet. He doesn't know what to say. It's obvious that Riki likes Sunoo. It shows.

"Heyyy!!" Someone shouted. Riki and Nicholas looked up and saw Taki approaching them.

"What happened?" Taki asked when he saw Riki's state. Nicholas was about to answer but Riki looked at him and gave him the 'don't tell him' look.

"It's nothing" Nicholas said. Taki looked at the two suspiciously.

"You two are hiding something from me" Taki said.

"We're hiding nothing, Taki"

"Yes you are"

"Shut up or I'll kick you" Riki said. Taki finally shut his mouth but still curious about Riki.

"Oh, it's already 8:00 am. I'll go now" Taki said and stood up.

"The class starts at 9:00 am. Where the hell are you going?" Riki asked. Taki got quiet.

"I see.. you're going to Sola, am I right?"

"Y-yes"

"Okay, go. Just make sure that you won't be late" Nicholas said.

"What's with him and Sola?" Nicholas asked when Taki left. Riki shrugged.

"I don't know. But I think Taki likes Sola, it's obvious tho"

"How old is Sola?"

"She's in grade 10, I think 15"

"Eh? 15?"

"Yeah"

"Taki is 18, right?"

"Uh-huh"

"That's okay, age doesn't matter" Nicholas said.

The two continued talking about the thing earlier. When Riki said he likes Sunoo.

"We're step brothers, it's not good to like him. But why does my heart beats fast whenever we're together?"

"Normal reaction when you like to love someone" Nicholas said and Riki got quiet again.

"Do you really like him?" Nicholas asked. Riki slowly nodded.

"I think I.. love him. Not as my step brother. I love him romantically"

"You know it's forbidden to love Sunoo, he's your step brother"

"I know but.. I can't stop it, hyung. I don't know what to do anymore"

"Hmm.. I don't know what to say. But maybe you can avoid Sunoo?"

"I can't. I'll just miss him and my feelings will grow more"

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I just want to stay with him, as close as possible. Fuck, I wish I'm not his step brother" Riki cussed.

"Language" Nicholas said but Riki just groaned.

It was lunch time. Riki is walking alone in the corridor, he plugged his airpods and listened to some music.

Suddenly, a girl bumped onto him. The girl fell on the ground with the books she's carrying. Riki immediately kneeled down and picked up the books. He offered his hand and the girl gladly took it. Riki handed the books to the girl and removed his airpods
Riki was mesmerized by the girl's beauty.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you" Riki apologized.

"No, it's okay! I didn't see you as well, I'm sorry" The girl lowered his head.

"It's fine but.. are you okay? I think you fell hard on the ground"

"It's fine. There's a wound on my elbow since I used it to prevent myself falling down completely" The girl said and showed her elbows.

"I'm really really sorry. Come, I'll take you to the clinic"

"No! It's okay!"

"I insist" Riki said. The girl nodded shyly.

"By the way, what's your name?" Riki asked when they started walking.

"Jang Wonyoung"

"Nice name. I'm Kim Cheolsoo, I bet you know how to call me"

"Of course, you're famous"

"What grade are you in?"

"We're on the same grade. My desk is at the back so I don't think you can see me"

"Oh, wow, really?"

"Uh-huh"

Wonyoung received some glares from the students while they're walking. It scared her since people are giving her some attention which she doesn't really like.

When they arrived at the clinic, Riki opened the door for Wonyoung then they both came inside.

The nurse immediately treated Wonyoung's wound on her elbow. She cleaned it first with water. Wonyoung winced because she felt a little pain. Riki noticed it and offered his hand for Wonyoung to hold. Wonyoung slowly held Riki's hand then they both watched the nurse.

After treating the wound, they thanked the nurse first before going out.

"I'm sorry that you have to bring me to the clinic, I almost ate your lunch time"

"It's fine with me" Riki said. Wonyoung just smiled at him.

"Actually.." Riki said after a long silence. Wonyoung hummed and looked at him.

"Would you like to eat lunch with me?"

"I would love to!" Wonyoung said.

They headed to the cafeteria together. Some students are gossiping about them but they didn't mind.

Riki was surprised when he saw Sunghoon sitting with Sunoo on their table.

"Riki!" Sunoo called and smiled. His smile dropped when he saw Wonyoung with Riki.

"Oh, hey, Wonyoung!" Sunghoon greeted. Wonyoung smiled and waved.

"Hey, Sunghoon!"

"Do you guys know each other?" Riki asked and sat beside Sunoo while Wonyoung sat beside Sunghoon.

"Yeah, she's my bestfriend but more like a sister" Sunghoon said and ruffled Wonyoung's hair.

"Here, you can have my food. I'll go order another one"

"Thanks, Sunghoon" Wonyoung said.

They started eating their own lunch. Sunoo was not in the mood at first but it went well.
