12. It Can't Be Him🍃

After our first class, which didn't end up being a class since everyone had a lot of questions to ask about this Criesonian, Velorean thing.

Now however we were all being brought down to the hall of our school. Jeongin and I were in the same class so I walked by his side down.

"How are you feeling about this?" I asked genuinly curious. Jeongin was Criesonian after all.

"I don't know" He mumbled. "I mean, I guess it'd be nice to meet people that are the same people as me" He shrugged.

"But it just seems a bit... Not right" he sighed. I hummed kind of happy he wasn't fully on board.

"Why?" I asked to get more insight, again just being curious. Jeongin shrugged again. "I mean I know I'm Criesonian but like all I've ever known since I moved here was being Velorean"

Hé had a point. In a way I felt bad for him too. Jeongin sounded like he wasn't even sure who he should identify with.

From what I know his mom is Velorean and his dad is Criesonian but since he was born on the Criesonian side of the empire the doctors wrote him down as Criesonian.

But that's really all I think he told me before.

We entered the hall and saw a range of seats in front of us. I hated the thought of what was about to happen and it made me feel sick.

I looked over at one of the seats and saw Hyunjin sitting there looking a lot paler than usual. Probably fear of meeting our enemy.

"Okay class go take a seat at your assigned table" Our teacher spoke sternly. It took us all a brief moment to even move but we eventually got going.

To my dislike my table was up near the front where the teachers would be. "Fucks sake" I digressed and sat down in front of my name tag.

Our headmistress stood up on the mini stage we had in the hall and cleared her throat before speaking.

"Now as you are aware you will be partnered up with a Criesonian counterpart. I will not be hearing of any complaints from any of you" She spoke sternly. This woman was Stone cold.

"As much as I hate this idea, it's for your own future I suppose" She sighed. There were a few laughs, I looked over to Hyunjin and found he also looked over to me. We laughed quietly.

"I spoke with the Criesonian school's headmistress as they are waiting to come in here now so, buckle up kids" She made a very insane look. This woman was more than likely losing her shit over this whole idea.

"They're here"

She said that like one of us would be murdered.

Next thing we all knew was the door opening to reveal the Criesonian school's students. I gulped as I took a look at them, clearly judging our building of a school.

I hate school, but if it's them judging my school I won't hesitate to fight.

They walked in, their headmistress and teachers told them to find their names on the tables and much like us there was little movement til they actually had to go from teachers orders.

I felt my heart pounding as I awaited who would be my so called new "friend".

I watched their headmistress go up to ours and make a very awkward handshake.

I looked down at my hands instead finding them more interesting. I found myself actually thinking why I was nervous when I legit could just break into their house and kill them if I felt the need to.

But I don't think that would benefit the whole building bridges thing the head of the committee wanted to try.

I glanced over at Hyunjin and saw another guy sit down across from him. The disgusted look on Hyunjin's face alone was enough to make want to wheeze.

I held back though.

I watched at they both just stared at each other not knowing what to do or say. Then I saw Hyunjin's mouth start moving, probably introducing himself.

After that there would be no issues with talking. Hyunjin doesn't know when to stay quiet once he gets a conversation going.

Then I heard the chair across from me being pulled.

My head snapped across and saw a guy sitting down across from me. Once he was fully sat down he leaned back in the chair and folded his arms. He eyed me for a moment.

I stared at him with wide eyes. There was no way this guy was my partner. He looks like a gangster!

I mean they all are but he looks worse.

"If you haven't already, please begin talking" I heard our headmistress speak.

I gulped a little before opening my mouth to speak. But clearly I wasn't fast enough as the guy across from me spoke first.

"What's your name?" He asked with no sense of actually caring. I must have jumped a little because he looked at me as if I was some soft of piece of gum stuck to his shoe.

I feel so violated from him just looking at me.

I found the courage to respond after a moment. "I'm Jisung" I replied. I watched him laugh and clap his hands in a very sarcastic way "Wow, you can actually speak!"

I felt my blood boil by that one sentence.

Control yourself Jisung. You're not in the V.A right now...

I gave him a fake smile. "Wow, you noticed" I replied with just as much sarcasm. "What's your name then?"

He took in a breath and let out a sigh. "Minho" he replied. "Lee Minho"

My mind instantly went back to the boy I met three years ago. He introduced himself the same way. It's just a coincidence but I couldn't help but feeling the same feeling I had that night wash over me.

A mix of adrenaline and possibly shyness.

"Oh" I mumbled. We went silent. Minho eyed me again. "Nice jacket" He cleared his throat after as if he found it hard to believe he complimented a Velorean.

I looked at the black bomber jacket I had on. I looked up at him and I must have been looking at him with such confusion and worry because he furrowed his brows at me.

"What?" He asked. I shook my head.

It can't be him... I mumbled to myself in my head. "Thanks.. I got it from someone a few years ago" I replied.

I can't believe I said thanks to a Criesonian.

Minho hummed. "I didn't ask for the background story" He rolled his eyes.

This was going to be difficult.
