Deep end |ENG|

• 22 · school

I have another tutoring session the next morning.

After it, I get into my class, being the first one there. And so I put my earphones on, listening to music while lying on the desk. I'm sat on my new spot, feeling weird as I'm in the middle of my classroom.

After a few minutes, I hear the door open.

I look up and see the face of a person who feels so safe all the time. "Hi, Jongho."

"Woah, Jin, what are you doing here?" he asks, putting his stuff next to me as there's only an aile separating us now.

"I changed seats, you know."

"I see... Finally getting away from them?"

"Yup."

"That's nice." He smiles and so do I.

Next one to walk in is Yeojin. We greet each other and then I lie down on the desk again, trying to catch up on some sleep as I'm barely getting any these days.

I know that Changbin walked in when I hear his breaths and when no greeting sounds. A quiet, confused sound leaves his lips and I know he's confused upon seeing me... well, not where he's used to me being sat.

However, he doesn't ask anything. He just sits down and soon, everybody else comes.

The bell rings and the first lesson of this calendar year starts.

And our second lesson is English.

I'm sitting next to Changbin and for some reason I can't help but feel satisfied when he refuses to look at me. He doesn't even turn towards me, not a bit.

The day is passing by fast. I'm mostly lying on my desk. However, I get involved in many conversations as well.

It isn't until the break before the last lesson that my mood goes completely downhill.

"But why would he act like that?"

"I don't know."

My eyes go from my phone to Changbin and Seungmin.

"Are you sure nothing happened?"

"No! Nothing."

I have to take a deep breath as I'm staring into my display again. I'm just texting Chan and so I start typing about hearing this.

"He didn't even greet me yesterday. I was crying on my way back home because I just felt so..."

His words get lost in all the other sounds filling the classroom for a while but I don't care, my fingers are moving above the display. I'm furious, my hands are trembling from it.

I notice Taehyun turn to me in the corner of my eye. He obviously wants to pull me into a conversation. However, upon seeing the state I'm in, he shuts his mouth and turns back to the others swiftly.

"You see, I'm just waiting for even that stupid text message. Just something so that I'm sure it's over."

I have to turn the phone off and put it on the desk. I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

The last lesson of the day started almost right after that.

And oh boy, was it oh so long.

If you hadn't changed, then I'd still be by your side.
