The Hoodie Boy || Yang Jungwon

#5

Y/n greeted Kyujin and Eunchae at the door and led them to her room, where they sat down and began to brainstorm ideas for the club.

"So, what should we call it?" Y/n asked, taking out a notebook and pen.

"How about 'Friends of Anxiety'?" Eunchae suggested.

Kyujin shook her head. "I think it should be something more positive, like 'Social Butterflies' or 'Support Squad'."

Y/n nodded in agreement. "I like 'Support Squad'. It sounds like we're here to help each other out."

They continued to jot down ideas and plan out the club's purpose, activities, and meeting times. They discussed how they could create a safe and welcoming environment for students like Jungwon, where they could share their struggles and offer support to one another.

After hours of brainstorming, they had everything they needed to present the club to the school's administration for approval. They felt excited and hopeful that they could make a difference in their school community.

As they packed up to leave, Y/n felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. She knew that this club could potentially help not only Jungwon but many other students who struggled with social anxiety.

"I can't wait to see what we can do with this club," Y/n said, beaming with excitement.

Kyujin and Eunchae nodded in agreement. "We're going to make a difference," they said in unison, and Y/n knew they would.

~ Sunday ~

Y/n's parents listened attentively as she explained her idea for a club to help students with social anxiety like Jungwon. Her little brother, Jaehyun, was also present and looked up at her with curiosity.

"What kind of club is it, Y/n?" asked Jaehyun, tugging at her shirt.

"It's a club for students who feel anxious or uncomfortable in social situations, like when they're talking to people or making friends," Y/n explained patiently.

Jaehyun's eyes widened in understanding. "So they can practice and get better at it?"

"Yes, exactly!" Y/n smiled at him. "And hopefully, they'll feel more comfortable and confident in social situations."

Y/n's parents looked proud of her. "That's a great idea, Y/n. We support you and your club," her father said.

Y/n beamed at them. "Thank you so much! I'm excited to start working on it with Kyujin and Eunchae."

Jaehyun tugged at her shirt again. "Can I join the club too?"

Y/n chuckled. "Sorry, little brother. This club is for high school students only."

Jaehyun pouted but then grinned mischievously. "Okay, but you have to practice talking to me every day!"

Y/n laughed and ruffled his hair. "Deal, Jaehyun. I'll practice talking to you every day."

~ Time skip ~

Y/n sat at the bench watching her little brother Jaehyun playing with other kids in the park. She smiled as she saw him laughing and running around. Suddenly, she remembered Jungwon and how he always sat alone in class and didn't interact with anyone.

As she sat there, she began to think about how the club they were starting could help students like Jungwon. She thought about all the things they could do to make them feel included and not alone. Maybe they could organize group activities and events where everyone could participate.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Jaehyun calling out to her. "Unnie, come play with me!" he shouted, waving his arms.

Y/n got up from the bench and ran over to him, ready to join in the fun. As they played, she couldn't help but think about how much she wanted to help Jungwon and others like him. She made a promise to herself that she would do everything she could to make sure they didn't feel alone anymore.

~ On Monday ~
Their homeroom teacher listened to them carefully and seemed to be interested in their idea. "That's a great initiative, girls," he said. "But you have to make sure to follow the school's guidelines and get the necessary approvals from the school administration."

Y/n, Kyujin, and Eunchae nodded in agreement. They knew that they had to go through a lot of paperwork and bureaucracy to get the club approved, but they were determined to make it happen.

"Thank you, sir," Y/n said, smiling at her homeroom teacher. "We will make sure to follow all the procedures and guidelines."

The homeroom teacher smiled back. "I have faith in you, Y/n. You're a responsible and dedicated student. I'm sure you will make this club a success."

With the homeroom teacher's support, Y/n, Kyujin, and Eunchae felt more confident about their idea. They knew that they had a long way to go, but they were willing to put in the effort to make the club happen.

As they walked out of the classroom, Y/n, Kyujin, and Eunchae discussed their next steps. They had to fill out forms, get signatures from teachers and parents, and present their proposal to the school administration.

"It's going to be a lot of work," Kyujin said, "but I think it's worth it. We can help a lot of students who are struggling with social anxiety, just like Jungwon."

Eunchae nodded in agreement. "And who knows, maybe we can even get Jungwon to join the club," she said.

Y/n smiled at her friends. "Let's do this," she said. "Let's make a difference in our school and in our community."

Y/n, Kyujin, and Eunchae were searching for Jungwon all over the school, but he was nowhere to be found. Just as they were about to give up, they spotted him walking down the hallway, his head down and his hood covering his face.

"Jungwon, wait up!" Y/n called out to him, but he quickened his pace, as if trying to get away from them.

"Jungwon, we just want to talk to you!" Kyujin added, but he didn't even turn around.

As they caught up with him, they noticed his hands were shaking, and his breathing was heavy.

"What's wrong, Jungwon?" Eunchae asked, her voice gentle.

"Leave me alone," Jungwon mumbled, his voice barely audible.

"We just want to tell you about the club we're starting," Y/n said, trying to calm him down.

But as soon as Jungwon heard the word 'club', he panicked even more. He backed away from them and shook his head vigorously.

"I can't do this," he whispered, his voice trembling.

"What do you mean?" Kyujin asked, confused.

"I can't be part of any club," Jungwon replied, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry."

And with that, he turned around and walked away, leaving the three girls standing there, feeling helpless and lost.

~ Time skip ~

Y/n thought about Jungwon as she lay in bed that night, trying to come up with a plan to help him. She couldn't shake off the feeling that he needed someone to talk to. So, the next day at school, she decided to approach him during lunch break.

As she walked towards him, she could see him tensing up and preparing to run away. But she didn't stop. She slowly sat down beside him, giving him some space.

"Jungwon," she said softly, "I know you don't like attention, but I want to help you. You don't have to go through this alone."

Jungwon looked at her, his eyes full of fear and uncertainty. Y/n could feel his anxiety, and she tried to give him a reassuring smile.

"I don't know what to say," he finally whispered.

"You don't have to say anything," Y/n replied. "I just want you to know that we're here for you. Me, Kyujin, Eunchae, and the rest of the club members. We all understand what you're going through because we've been there too."

Jungwon looked at her for a few more moments before nodding slowly. Y/n knew it wasn't much, but it was a start.

"Thank you," he said quietly.

Y/n smiled, feeling relieved. She knew it wasn't going to be easy, but she was determined to help Jungwon overcome his social anxiety. She believed that with the support of the club, he would be able to find the strength to open up and eventually make new friends.
