Yeo Jun was walking from the quad, heading to his next class when he spotted a familiar car.

That Whiter Mercedes E Class looked like---- The horn that honked next was just a little more proof and if that wasn't enough, he as absolutely sure when the door opened and the driver alighted.

Today he was wearing all black, his dark hair swept across his forehead, sitting atop brown eyes that never wore any kind of emotion.

"Jun Wan" The name just came instinctively to his lips. He looked at that stoic face "Are you here to see me?"

"Like that'll ever happen." that monotone responded.

Jun felt a pang in his chest. "Figures.There's no reason for you to come see me."

"I've been transferred here." his older brother informed him. "I'll start giving lectures next week." Jun didn't respond. "Pretend like you don't know me." This string of words was a directive.

With nothing else to say, Jun Wan turned and left.

Yeo Jun stood in place and watched him go. Only when that car had disappeared, did he finally release the breath he wasn't even aware he'd been holding.Seeing Jun Wan appear so suddenly had rattled him a little. In this moment he wasn't focused on anything but that brief interaction so he was completely oblivious to the pair of eyes watching from under a straight bang.


The next Day

The sound of his alarm roused him from slumber.

6:00 am.

Soo Hyun rolled out of bed, using every ounce of his willpower not to cover himself once more with the blanket.

To say he was tired would be an understatement. He'd returned from his shift at the mini mart a little after 2 a.m. It seemed he'd only just closed his eyes and it was already time to wake up and get going.

Get going he did if he didn't want to miss bus to take him to university's shuttle pickup spot or the shuttle bus to the university that would get him to class on time.

He hurriedly showered, got dressed and grabbed everything he would need for the day ahead.

Thankfully he managed to catch his bus on time.During the 30 minute ride, Soo Hyun's eyes drooped and he nodded off more than a couple of times, desperate for just one more wink of sleep.

When he exited that bus, he sprinted to the designated spot for the university shuttle. He checked his watch. 8:01. He would make it in time.


CLASS CANCELLATION NOTICE.

The words sat in the middle of the sheet posted on the door.

Soo Hyun heaved a heavy sigh. After all he'd gone through to get here.

"Soo Hyun." a voice called out to him as he stood staring at the sign. He turned slowly to look at Yeo Jun "Gosh.If I had known, I would have slept in.Right?"

Without a word, Soo Hyun walked away.

"Now that I think about it. I haven't really thank you." Jun walked after him. "I could have gotten into big trouble that night if it had not been for you. Thanks for helping."

Soo Hyun was frustrated. He suddenly stopped walking and turned to the one being a pest.

"I get that you're used to people being kind to you but I wasn't trying to help you. You have an overinflated ego."
