Careless

Chapter 3 - A Bad Ending

Wooyoung and San sat down together at Sans desk to begin working which Wooyoung gave him a book to quiz him with to see how far he got.

San sped through it and handed it back to Wooyoung.

Wooyoung just looked at it before handing it back.

"Try, they aren't hard" Wooyoung said softly.

Wooyoung watched as San rolled his eyes but San still ended up redoing them, actually putting some time into them.

After a few minutes of waiting San handed the book back to Wooyoung, only for Wooyoung to find out he skipped the longer questions.

"You skipped a lot of them" Wooyoung commented, looking at San.

"So? You only told me to try, I tried, grade them" San spoke back, leaning back in his chair.

"I meant try on all of them, do it again" Wooyoung pleaded nicely, handing San the book once again.

San looked at Wooyoung with a glare in his eyes. San obviously didn't seem happy with Wooyoungs intentions.

"I don't want to"

It went silent for a while before Wooyoung just gave up and began grading what San did.

When Wooyoung finished grading he put the book on the desk between them.

"I'll show you what you did wrong and I'll explain how to do it right" Wooyoung explained, looking at San, waiting for a response.

It was obvious that San was bored and didn't want to do it anymore but he still leaned in and listened to Wooyoung speak, though not really listening. Finally Wooyoung stopped speaking and hesitantly turned to look at San. San has been staring at Wooyoung for a while, Wooyoung was able to feel it the entire time.

There was silence yet again. As Wooyoung seemed nervous San had the least amount of expression at all.

"Are you really not going to study?" Wooyoung asked, hoping it would get San to stop staring at him so intensely.

"I'm listening" San said.

"Were you looking at the book?" Wooyoung asked, hoping maybe San wasn't actually staring at him.

"No" San confirmed with no hesitation, he smirked at Wooyoung a bit, finding Wooyoung's reaction pretty amusing.

Suddenly there was a knock on the bedroom door before someone opened it, both boys were cut off guard, both turning to see San's mother in the room watching them.

"Oh...you came? I would have made you two some food if I knew you were coming, San why didn't you tell me?" His mother said quickly.

Wooyoung was going to tell her he didn't need anything but before he could San said, "He's about to leave", getting up and ushering his mother out of the room while speaking to her some more, eventually closing the door.

"Go" San said with a blank expression.

Wooyoung felt very confused by the boys quick change in expressions.

"I said go" San repeated himself, his voice being more firm this time.

Wooyoung didn't bother questioning it and just packed his things into his bag before walking out of the room not even saying bye as San shut his bedroom door as soon as he left the room.

Wooyoung turned to see Mrs. Choi in front of him.

"I'll lead you out" She smiled softly before walking.

As they approached the door she continued speaking, "I'm sorry, my husband is outside, they don't have the best relationship so he gets a bit fussy when we return...ah...let me get your money"

"No thank you, I don't need any money, have a good day" Wooyoung said quickly, bowing to her 90° for a few seconds before putting his shoes on and leaving through the door, heading straight to the front gate to leave.

Wooyoung got home to see his father's shoes at the front door, checking his watch seeing as it's 2 hours before he should be back home. Suddenly he heard his father yelling at his mother in their bedroom.

Wooyoungs heart started racing. He began clenching his fists tightly due to the anxiety rush, not being able to move from his spot.

The boys anxiety is off the roof when they argue...but he's never actually worried for his mother because he knows his father or mother don't get physical with each other...but he hates hearing people yell.

He was in an accident a few years ago when he was a child, around 10 years old. He went to an amusement park with his father once when his father worked their but Wooyoung got lost until late in the night, all he could hear was screams around him from people on the rides. Another worker eventually found him, but ever since he's never liked loud noises or crowded places ...and because he would have to listen to his parents yelling at each other almost every night these past years...it only feels worse.
