Jisung leans against the brick wall of the school gates. He hopes he went to the right school and isn't waiting at the wrong spot. It would be so embarrassing if he had the wrong school and was waiting for nothing. He looks around, seeing a bunch of parents waiting for their children to leave the school. Biting his lip, he waits for his friend to join him, hoping no one will ask him any questions as to why he is waiting outside and not leaving the school like the rest of the kids his age. He feels some of the mothers look his way, luckily his name is called from somewhere in the crowd of school children.

"Han-ah!"

Jisung turns to where to sound is coming from, seeing a blond boy running towards him with a bright smile on his face. Jisung opens his arms for the other, who almost jumps into them hugging Jisung tightly. Jisung laughs, wrapping his own arms around the boy.

"Hey Felix."

"You actually came!" Felix smiles even more brightly up at Jisung. He let's go of Jisung before taking the other boys hand. "Let's go to the park!" Jisung nods, just following Felix as Felix drags him away from the school and towards the park that is next to the school.

"I promised didn't I?"

Felix nods his head, dropping his bag next to the swing set. "Have you ever done this before? It's so much fun! When hyung showed me the first time I was so confused though." Felix sits down on one of the swings, looking at Jisung. Jisung chuckles, dropping his own bag next to Felix's his bag.

"I have done this before, my brother used to push me so that I would go really high."

"Really? Can you push me?" Felix looks at Jisung with big puppy like eyes.

Jisung nods, making his way to stand behind Felix so that he can push the boy on the swing. "You have to hold on tight Lix or else you will fall."


The two boys let themselves fall down on the grass, after having played on the swings for a while. They look up at the sky, pointing at the different clouds and their shapes.

"Hannie?"

"Yes Lix?"

"Thank you for being my first real friend."

Jisung turns to look at Felix with a frowns on his face. "First friends? Don't you have friends in school?"

Felix shakes his head, a pout forming on his face. "No they think I'm weird as I just joined their class and not from the beginning of the year."

"That's rude."

Felix shrugs, sitting up. "What about you? Are your classmates nice?"

Jisung blinks at him, not sure how to answer. "I don't go to school my brother is my classmate I guess."

"That's cool, is he nice?"

Jisung nods at first but then frowns. "Sometimes."

Felix chuckles "I'm sure he can't be that bad."

Jisung stands up, holding his hand out to Felix. "Why don't you see for yourself?" Felix smiles taking Jisung's hand. The two of them grab their bags before Jisung leads the way home.



The door to the store opens, making Changbin look up from where he is putting necklaces down on the shelf. He frowns as he sees Wooyoung trying to catch his breath as if he had run to the store.

"Is Chan or Minho hyung home?"

"Yeah? Why?"

"I need to speak with them, I may have lost something very important."
