three weeks had passed, sunoo seems to noticed ni-ki absence.
there's no ni-ki waiting for him at his locker, their classroom's door nor the school's gates.
there's no ni-ki sneakily giving him a letter every lunch time or dismissal.
there's no nishimura riki at all. sunoo doesn't know what to think. the sudden disappearance of ni-ki is bothering him.
‘where could he be?’ he thought. his forehead starts to sweat. he was now fondling with his fingers — a habit of him when he's anxious or scared.
not wasting time, sunoo ran towards the direction of ni-ki's classroom. a small smile formed on his lips when he saw jungwon.
before jungwon could even enter, he heard a voice calling him. when he looked at where the voice was, he was shocked to see sunoo.
“jungwon.. can i ask you.. something?” he asked, catching his breath. jungwon already know what may sunoo will ask him. he just wanted to hear this from his mouth.
“yeah, what is it, hyung?” he replied.
sunoo straighten his posture, his hands clutching the straps of his backpack. he took a deep breath before asking him.
“w-where's.. ni-ki..?”
jungwon was stopping himself from smiling. ‘ah, nishimura, you lucky brat’
jungwon was about to answer where ni-ki could be when an idea popped in his mind.
a smirk formed on his lips. ‘i know you'll get mad at me, ni-ki. but this is a good time to pay back from your jokes.’
“oh.. that? his girlfriend was hospitalized few weeks ago that he needed to go there and take care of her”
g-girlfriend? ni-ki.. has a girlfriend?
sunoo was dumbfounded. jungwon felt bad and before he could even say sorry and tell him it was just a joke, sunoo smiled at him which made him froze at his spot.
‘great, jungwon. you really forgot that sunoo is a sensitive person’
“ah.. really? i hope his girlfriend will be fine soon. got to go and thanks for answering my question, jungwon” he said before turning his back and started to walked to his classroom.
sunoo didn't know why his heart felt like being torned into pieces after hearing that from jungwon.
he smiled bitterly. for the whole day, all of he could think of, was ni-ki.
