To Stay on the Fence

The night was getting late and two second-year schoolboys seem to still be sitting on a lonely park bench. Jae-chan has contacted his parents that he would be home very late and reason to go to the study room. He cover his school uniform with Seoham's oversized jacket because the boy was bothered by Jaechan's clothes. Meanwhile, he look normal even though he only left a thin black shirt that wrap around his body.

The two of them sit with their respective views and thoughts. Seoham notice Jaechan who seemed busy thinking through his moving eyes and his lips that couldn't stay still.

"Just say it. I'm bothered by that expression of yours." He said then.

"Mwol? I'm thinking about what to eat right now. I'm hungry, you know?" Jae-chan shakes his phone in front of Seoham's face.

"Huh?" Seoham seem surprised that the answer of the boy next to him was beyond expectation.

"If you think I'm busy thinking about what happened. You are very wrong. What happened earlier, let it be left behind. I don't know why the two of us end up like this. We have nothing to discuss. If you want to warn me about what happened earlier. Don't worry. I have too much to do." Jae-chan leans his back and lifts his head, watching the sky that looks cloudy. Looks like it's going to rain.

"You're too excited for someone who's starving." Said Seoham.

"Thanks for the jacket," Jaechan speak again.

"Wash it before you return it."

"I know it."

"Have you ordered your food?"

Jae-chan sneered at Seoham. 

"Wae?"

"I know a place that serves good food and they're open until morning." Jae-chan standd up suddenly. Making Seoham was also surprised by his behavior. "Wae?" 

"Why not tell me earlier? I'm starving. Wow, you are insensitive." Jaechan take his bag which was next to the chair. Lying horribly.

Seoham couldn't help but laugh at Jaechan's extraordinarily expressive behavior. "How would I know that? You're busy with your own thoughts and don't share them."

Jae-chan chuckles. "Come on." Invite him.

"Your bag. You can be stunted after a while." Seoham take Jaechan's bag and was surprised. "You brought a book or a bunch of bricks, huh? That's heavy."

"You just grew too tall. That's the standard weight of a school bag." Jaechan didn't refuse when his bag was carried by Seoham.

He moved his back and shoulders doing stretching.

"But..." In between the footsteps of the two Jaechan made a speak.

"Mwol?"

"Did your parents split up?"

"Oh."

"Okay."

"You didn't ask why?"

"For what? Not my business."

"You seem quite cooperative."

"You're just being too annoying."

The place that Seoham was referring to was a restaurant in a fairly narrow alley. The place is not spacious and only has a table set of no more than 10 pairs. The lights are dim and like a place for food not for minors. Jae-chan somewhat doubted his decision. He was still standing in front of the entrance while Seoham was already standing at the ordering counter. Choose the menu that is on the board written in chalk.
