"How do you know each other?" I asked Felix and Chan when I thought about that a bit more. Chan and his two friends only came to our school around two weeks ago and Felix never was one to start conversations with guys like them. I was pretty sure that the group of three had not any contacts there at all for that I've never seen them around others before, but guess I was wrong about that.
"He showed us around school when we first came" Chan was the one to explain when things then made sense for me.
"By the way, where are your friends right now?" I questioned once I couldn't see any of the two around. I've never seen them separated if they didn't have to and was simply wondering about it, being a bit curious. Despite my intention to not get close to them, there was still something that was drawing me in to at least know a bit more.
"You mean Jisung and Jeongin? They stayed back at home. They already had plans for today" the male said, rubbing the back of his neck
"You three live together?" I didn't exactly liked asking so many questions at once, not wanting to make anyone uncomfortable, but with everything he said, there were new things I wanted to know.
"Yeah, we already lived here together with some others a bit ago but moved away. Now seemed to be a good time to get back, just that two of us decided it was silly and didn't accompanied us" Chan explained the situation as I hummed in understanding.
"Don't you live in that huge mansion in the forest?" Seungmin then chimed in, getting a nod in return what slightly surprising me.
"Hm? I thought that was already empty for at least three decades or something" I mumbled, remembering what my mother had told me about it. We often wandered around the woods for fun when I was smaller and came across that mansion more than once — it always looked so empty but it sure was beautiful.
Chuckling lightly, Chan just took a sip of the drink in his hand and didn't said anything further to the topic when Felix started a bit smalltalk. I couldn't help but glance at Chan now and then, my original intention definitely crumbling into pieces. He interested me, not necessarily in an romantic way but rather his person in general. He was a mysterious individual, that for sure.
"I'm gonna get a drink" I said at one point, making my way over to the table where bowls of snacks and mostly alcohol was placed at.
Filling up the plastic cup in my hand, I drank half of it in one go already, feeling my social battery running out again and needing some energy. But looking at how Thalia was happily conversing with Changbin made it definitely bearable, and I was just happy that Felix and Seungmin were there as well.
Although these positive aspects got me going, I let out a groan and started to slowly carry my feet over the uneven forest ground, maybe not being smart enough to actually lift my feet when I tripped over a branch that was plantet in the ground like a little bitch and got me stumbling a meter before I was able to balance myself without falling face first to the ground and make a fool out of myself.
"Whew, that was a close one," I mumbled to myself but let my facial expression fall immediately when I noticed the not that small scratch on my ankle that was caused by the branch just slicing it, "oh come on..."
"Nova? You okay?" I heard someone calling out right in front of me when I looked up from my ankle to see Chan walking towards my direction.
"Yeah, everything's fine, I just got a little scratch on my ankle, that's all" I explained when Chan slowly looked down and nodded, slightly gulping when he analyzed the few droplets of blood that were running down my skin.
He took in a rather deep breath, his head lilted down for a moment before averting his eyes up to my own again, a smile adoring his lips once again when he got something out of the pocket of his jacket and reached it out to me. It was a thin fabric — a handkerchief to be exact — with his name neatly stitched onto it in a golden color.
I was surprised that anyone these days even possessed something like that anymore, but I wouldn't think about declining it to clean the blood off when it was the only thing I had to do it at the moment, for that I didn't wanted to use my jacket or anything to wipe it off.
"Thanks" I spoke, taking it from the male's hand who then took a step back once he had passed it to me.
"I have to go now, so have a great evening" he suddenly claimed, stepping back a few more meters before turning around and wandering off. I was slightly surprised when I wasn't sure if I should call behind him to at least take the handkerchief of anything, but stayed silent at the end anyways, staring back and forth between the fabric and the spot where Chan had disappeared out of my sight.
Shrugging my shoulders, I cleaned the cut on my ankle a bit and got it to stop bleeding in no time, putting the now blood drained handkerchief in the pocket of my sweatshirt jacket and walked back to Felix and Seungmin.
The evening went on with a lot of chit chat and soon already came to an end when Thalia had happily skipped over towards our group of now three people and said we could go, since Changbin had left as well and with that, the whole purpose of our attendance there was non-existing anymore.

Sunday. I could literally cry when I thought about how fast the weekends were over again, even though it was still early in the morning when my not so much existing motivation for school had brought me in a bad mood. Although it was hard enough to even get out of bed, I was just perfect fine again when I got my cup of coffee that I highly deserved.
I had not really many plans for the day except for meeting up with Thalia at the nearest bar where we always went to get some food because it was damn good there and decided it would be not a bad idea to pay a small visit to Chan just to give him the handkerchief he had so kindly borrowed me, for that the house was literally straight on the way towards Thalia's one to pick her up when I'd go the shorter way through the woods.
For that reason, I had cleaned the piece of fabric just after finishing the coffee because returning it with dried blood on it was not exactly polite. I could have just as well returned the item in school but asides from the fact that it was not even much of a waste of time to quickly knock on his door and throw it in, I really did not want for people to see me interacting with any of the three of them.
Not because I absolutely despised them or anything, but simply because people were paying attention to things they were interested in, and as we all know, these three were good looking motherfuckers who got everyone's eyes on them. Being the main subject in some rumors about me and them having some kind of relationship was the last thing I needed but I knew these would be spread like a wild fire if I'd even get as much as five centimeters too close to them.
Once the red liquid was washed out of the almost white fabric and I got changed into a pair of clothes that were not my pajama, I went out of the house and left for this awesome adventure to my friends house and the one of three boys that I barely knew, that was located right in the middle of a forest where not a single soul could be seen around... maybe I watched too much true crime, but I wondered if anyone could hear me screaming just in case.
Probably not.
