#.. TWO

"Do you know what happened to Seungmin? I can't find him anywhere.." Jooyeon heard a timid voice say from the inside, it was quiet but it sounded clear out of the door, as if the talking person was standing right in front of him. Jooyeon made a mental note that the walls are not soundproof. Deciding to enter his room, he promptly made eye contact with a tall slim boy leaning against Jooyeon's bunk bed. The other immediately seemed to become uncomfortable, lowering his gaze as he continued fidgeting with his hands. Jiseok, who sat on his bed, just smiled at him. "Oh, hi Jooyeon." he said. "How were your first classes?" Jooyeon just shrugged without saying anything and sat next to Jiseok.

"Can I ask you a question?" Jiseok agreed with a soft 'Mh?' and looked Jooyeon in his eyes. Oh, Jiseok is pretty, how come Jooyeon never noticed that? "So there was this one boy in literature class and he was begged to stay after class because he was writing notes with me.. I think his name was Seungmin? Doesn't matter I guess, but.. Do you know what is going to happen with him? I want to apologize to him that he got in trouble just because of me.." When the name Seungmin sounded, Jooyeon immediately had all the attention of the two boys. "Fuck." the boy who was standing there whispered before he stormed out the door. What did that mean now?

As Jooyeon looked back to Jiseok, he noticed how pale he suddenly got. What was going on? "Jooyeon, I don't know what happens in these situations.." he stammered, suddenly being completely nervous. It was obviously a lie, so Jooyeon kept asking about it. "But you seem like you know.. I can't help being curious about that, I won't annoy you anymore when you tell me, please?" "I- I can't.." Jooyeon didn't stop, and then Jiseok's patience suddenly popped. "Stop asking me the same fucking question over and over again! What- What part of I don't want to answer is unclear to you?!"

A silence filled the room after that, Jooyeon didn't dare to even breathe loudly, suddenly intimidated by Jiseok, who didn't seem like his old self anymore. He was sure that everyone at this floor was able to hear Jiseok shouting. And Jiseok noticed that too, as he covered his mouth shortly after, fear filled his eyes. Was that another violation of the rules?
"I'm so sorry.." he suddenly whispered over and over again. "I didn't mean to scream at you, I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry.. Shit.."
