3. weird vibes

in the 2nd year hall, sunoo and jungwon both were in the same situation as jake.

"class, these are the two new students joining us this year. please give them your respect as they introduce themselves!" ms. son motions her hands to the pair and knowing the younger wouldn't go first, sunoo decides to take the responsibility.

"hello, i'm kim sunoo, it's nice to meet you all!" the male introduces himself with his usual sunny demeanor. as he bows, he nudges jungwon a bit, telling him to go.

"uh, i'm yang jungwon, and nice to meet you all as well," he bows like his friend and looks at the ground after standing straight, unable to get used to the number of eyes on him.

"i trust that you all will help our two new students get used to this environment. sunoo and jungwon, there's an empty row that you guys can take next to the window," wendy points to the location.

with a thank you, the friends walk over and sit down. jungwon could still feel all the stares on them and it makes him feel uncomfortable. sunoo noticed and once they had settled, takes the other's hand in his and gives it a small squeeze.

"let's take out our literature textbooks and open up to chapter 6, which will be focused on poetry, joseon dynasty poetry to be more specific," ms. son grabs a piece of chalk and starts to write notes on the board. "when reading the first example, you can see the prominent style-"

"how do you think of this so far?" sunoo whispers to jungwon, who thinks for a second before talking.

"i'm not sure, i mean, the teacher seems nice at least. but there's something i can't put my finger on," he describes and pauses to process his thoughts once more. "before we entered, ms. son asked me if we knew anything about the school and i told her that we knew what the website and application told us. but after that, she just smiled a bit and left it there."

"is there something we have to know?" the older asks.

"i don't know, but maybe it's somet-"

"kim sunoo and yang jungwon, is there a problem?" wendy crosses her arms a bit and raises an eyebrow, silently demanding an answer.

"no ma'am, it's just that sunoo hyung hadn't heard what chapter we were on so i was telling him," jungwon lies and sighs with relief when it looked like she took it.

"alright then, i'll let it slide for today," and the teacher goes back to the board and resumes her lecture.

sunoo and jungwon refused to talk at all until the break after that.

 jungwon already had 7 candy wrappers on the corner of his desk and was unwrapping his 8th one.

"yah yang jungwon, when did you eat all that fucking candy?" sunoo exclaims when seeing the pile.

"whenever i was about to fall asleep," the younger gives a sassy response as he pops the sweet into his mouth, immediately puckering his lips a bit at the sour lemon flavor. as much as he didn't like sour things, it helped him feel energized again and took the drowsiness away.

"don't call me when you collapse from high blood sugar then," the blonde rolls his eyes. "i gotta use the bathroom."

"same here, i have to wash my face," the two get up and start to walk down the hallways, only stopping when realizing they had no idea where to go.

"did you see any signs of where the bathroom is?" jungwon asks and earns a sheepish smile and shrug.

"you see, i was hoping that maybe you paid attention on the tour when she was telling us where the bathrooms were..." sunoo trails off before sighing. "well, i guess we can ask someone."

"go back to the place where the hallways branch off and when you go down the 1st year one, it's the first door to your right."

the two flinch at the voice and when they turn back to see who helped them, they're just met with the wall.

"down here."

their heads tilt downwards and a male with purple-toned blonde hair stares back at them. the stranger takes off his black headphones and gives a small hand gesture, that's somewhat in the middle of a wave and peace sign.

"do i get a thank you or...?" he raises an eyebrow with anticipation.

"um... yeah, thanks," sunoo blushes a bit at how handsome the other person is, and jungwon internally facepalms when seeing it happen.

"thank you..." the younger mentions to the stranger, to tell him to tell them his name.

"nishimura riki, or niki's fine."

"thank you niki," and grabbing the blonde's hair, the brunette drags the both of them out of there.
