   donghyuck tried to hide the grin creeping onto his face as he waved his horrible parents goodbye. "i'll call you when i can and i promise to study well," he called as he walked off into the open gates of the boarding school that he was to attend from now on. (the school was a special arts boarding school for boys.)

   as soon as he had walked enough that they were out of view, he immediately punched the air, "yes!" he cheered for himself out loud, close to even doing his own victory dance.

   "why are you so happy at seven in the morning?" a grumpy voice asked from behind him. there was a brunette with messy bed hair and a lean figure holding on to his luggage with one hand, the other hand covered his mouth which suppressed a yawn. "i'm just happy," donghyuck beamed under the morning sun.

   the male eyed him up and down with sleepy eyes. that's when donghyuck remembered the black coffee in his backpack. he liked coffee but black was too bitter to enjoy. his siblings were nice enough to pretend that they cared about him by getting him a cheap black coffee, but he had already expressed how much he despised it. if they had really cared, they would've known. without being rude, he accepted the parting gift and even gave them a hug for the first time since he could remember. once he got to his room, he stuffed it in his bag, knowing that he wouldn't be drinking it.

   "i know you don't know me but do you want some black coffee? i didn't poison it, i swear," he held up a hand in defense with the bottle in the other hand. the brunette practically dove for the drink in his hand, startling donghyuck in the process. "oh my god, i love you," he planted a wet kiss on donghyuck's cheek.

   the shorter male stood there, watching as the brunette gulped down some of the lukewarm coffee. "i feel better already," he grinned, sealing bottle which only had half of it left inside. donghyuck was debating whether he wanted to befriend the coffee crazed male or if he should stay away from someone so weird.

   before donghyuck could come to a conclusion, another male came running over. "jaemin!" the two guys hugged and high-fived eachother, leaving donghyuck standing there and feeling awkward. when they pulled apart, the male who donghyuck didn't recognize turned to him.

   "jaemin, who's this?" he asked, nudging his head towards donghyuck. "this is um..," he scratched the back of his head. "i'm donghyuck, lee donghyuck," the said male decided to help him out. "i'm jaemin and this is jeno," donghyuck felt a little better after officially being introduced.

   "is this your first year with us?" jeno asked, his eyes seemed to look at donghyuck in a curious way. "yeah," donghyuck scratched the back of his head. "what gave me away?" jeno tilted his head to the side like puppy, "i don't know. you just kind of have that neo vibe." although donghyuck didn't quite understand what he meant by 'neo', he nodded his head anyway.

   "as a payback for the coffee, want us to show you around? there are a lot of corridors and i remember getting lost a lot on my first year," jaemin offered. jaemin's hair was still messy but donghyuck noticed that he managed to look more civilized now. maybe it was because of the coffee.

   donghyuck was ecstatic at the offer but played it cool. "if you're sure i won't bother you then yeah, a tour would be pretty nice," he settled on. both jeno and jaemin seemed to come to an agreement as they began to show donghyuck his way to the dorms.

   "we're juniors so this is our territory," jaemin showed donghyuck. donghyuck's eyes sparkled as he looked at the surrounding space. the floors were hard and wooden along with most of the other furniture. long hallways had door after door lining the wall. a three digit number sat above each door to show what room it was.
