he looked at him like any stranger would.
their eyes only met for a split second but it was enough to hold jisung in a trance. he watched as the brunette slammed his locker shut and left the hallway.
"jisung! you ready for chemistry?"
he turned to seungmin who had called out to him and nodded. after grabbing his books and notes they headed off to class together.
it was the first day back to school after the summer holidays. jisung as much as everybody else had dreaded this day more than anything. it was their last class of the day but he felt he'd already had enough of everyone.
lucky for him chemistry passed by fairly quickly.
once school ended the two of them met up with chan in the student council room. chan unlike jisung and seungmin was a senior. chan and seungmin became friends by being part of the student council and they'd managed to convince jisung to join them.
jisung had only transferred to their school half a year ago, so he was unsure if he was ready to carry such big responsibility. the other two however talked him into it and he reluctantly agreed.
the sun was almost starting to set and jisung decided he should head home, since some teachers didn't have common decency and already assigned them homework on the first day. was he going to actually do his work? probably not.
he left the school grounds and started going home. his home was about a 20 minute walking distance from the school. usually he'd take his bicycle but it had been stolen a few days ago, so walking it was.
jisung lived in a rather sketchy area which is why theft wasn't uncommon there. to get to his apartment he had to walk through multiple alleyways that didn't fail to make him feel uncomfortable every time. he tried to avoid walking home when it was dark and realized he should've left school a bit earlier. he cursed at himself when he saw groups of people lingering around the road.
the streets seemed especially busy today. he passed multiple people, all of them carrying a strong scent of either cigarettes or alcohol. my god, it was barely 6pm.
he had to force himself not to cough, he didn't want to accidentally anger someone and cause problems.
jisung shut his eyes trying to calm himself down a bit. he never did well around crowds, which was why he barely had friends in school. he made himself small as he rushed down the street just wanting to get home fast.
jisung wasn't watching his surroundings at all, causing him to bump into someone. he was about to fall but he stabilized himself. quick to apologize, jisung looked at the stranger and mumbled a quiet 'sorry'. his eyes widened when he noticed it was indeed a stranger, the stranger from earlier in school.
his eyes once again met chocolate ones and he found himself staring. unbeknownst to him, the other was less than pleased.
"watch where the fuck you're going", he spat, flicking his lit cigarette at him, making jisung jump back slightly. the irritated boy harshly shoved past him. three guys followed behind him, eyeing jisung.
jisung wished he could disappear into the ground.
even after they'd walked away, he stood frozen on the spot but no one paid any mind to him.
