Blood Lie

Part 4

After Hyunjin had walked in the wrong direction of his class, Jeongin had stayed still for a bit before letting his back hit the lockers behind him. He slowly slid down the lockers and ended up down on the floor.

"What. Just. Happened." Jeongin asked himself.

'Jeongin! What's up with you!? Why did you let him do that!? Ugh! Why does he have to be so hot~' Jeongin thought to himself.

After he collected himself, Jeongin got up off the floor and started walking to his locker, where he had asked to go in the first place before running into Hyunjin.

He walked to his locker and started to grab some of his stuff. A sudden thought then popped into his head.

What was wrong with Hyunjin?

Besides flirting with him as he usually does, he was acting kinda strange. He didn't seem like himself. And now that he thinks about it, he completely changed the subject when it came to how he was doing.

"Hm.. I'll try not to bug him too much about it." Jeongin said to himself. He shrugged it off for now and grabbed his things. He decided to stall since he just wanted to walk around for a bit, and when he did, he heard some people talking about... Hyunjin? He got curious and decided to listen.

"Dude. 7th grade. I'll never forget it.." He heard one guy say.

"7th grade? What happened?" He heard another.

"We were both at a different school and there was this weird blonde kid, the kid always wore a mask, so naturally, me and my friends would ask him a shit ton of questions and kinda make fun of the kid."

'Blonde? Hyunjin isn't blonde. Wait, you need to listen more.' Jeongin thought to himself.

"And this one time, we tried to pull his mask off and that's when things started getting weird. I swear I thought the kid's eyes turned red, he scratched one of my friends and started pushing us away. Then all of sudden, Hyunjin comes out of nowhere and told us that if we didn't leave the kid alone, then we'd need to watch our backs. We didn't leave him alone after that because who would? The kid was acting really weird. He never did anything until we cornered the kid. It was like he was a whole different person..."

"What happened?" He heard the other one ask.

'What is he talking about? Hyunjin wouldn't hurt a fly! This guy's probably just over exaggerating. Hyunjin isn't aggressive.' Jeongin thought. He knew Hyunjin and he wouldn't hurt anyone.

'Would he? I mean.. he has been pretty weird lately... No! He wouldn't hurt anyone. That's final.'

"He totally freaked out! And-" Jeongin looked down the hall and saw what looked like Hyunjin walking really fast towards... the nurse? Was he ok?"

"Boys! Cut the chit chat and get to class!" He heard a teacher yell at them. He decided that now was a good time to get back to class. So he hurried off to class, wondering if everything that guy said was true. Was Hyunjin aggressive?

°•☬•°

'Hyunjin isn't in class. Maybe it was him that was heading to the nurse. Was he not feeling well?' Jeongin thought.

Mr. Kim gave out topics to the students and Jeongin told him that he wanted Hyunjin as a partner. He nodded and told him their topic.

Mythical creatures. Cool.

"You and Hyunjin have to pick 3 mythical creatures to talk about. Whether it be mermaids, werewolves, unicorns, vampires, I don't care. Just pick a couple, and do research." Jeongin nodded and started writing down ideas.
