I'm Nothing Without You | BeomJun AU

twenty two

Hyunjin was astounded by Yeonjun's remarks. The child clenched his fists and rolled his eyes shut after the exchange, unable to express his feelings.

Conflicting feelings. He was unable to comprehend his feelings. Guilt, anguish, despair, annoyance, and shock. He could witness Daniel's transformation from his time in California to his time studying in Seoul.

Hyunjin let out a deep sigh. He looks in his pocket for his phone and finds a notification. A communication from Beomgyu.

gyuuichigyu:
jinnie.
where u at.
im in the library.

Hyunjin smiled and turned off his phone and proceeds to meet with Beomgyu. He doesn't want to be bossed around, especially not his ex significant other, Yeonjun.

Hueningkai perused his textbook and made some notes while he ate his lunch. With so much on his plate, his brain was unable to work correctly. Hueningkai in particular is a councillor at a senior high school.

As he stood at the cafeteria's corner, he heard someone move a chair and drop his belongings directly upon the table.

"Can i sit with you?"

Hueningkai was aware of the man speaking in front of him and their presence beforehand. He made the decision to ignore and carried on reading and taking notes.

The younger could feel the older's soul-piercing stare as it fixed on him. The younger chose to concentrate on his task and remained unfazed.

"Uhm.. can we talk?"

Hueningkai simply turned to the next page in his textbook, obviously ignoring the previous one. The elder attempts to get the younger's attention by biting his bottom lip.

"ningie, please?"

Hueningkai despised the older man's entreaties. Their eyes locked as he raised his head. The youngster quickly averted his eyes and went on underlining a few lines in his textbook.

"What is it."

"About t-the other day.."

He closed his textbook and packed his belongings without saying anything. "I don't wanna talk about it. Thank you very much."

When Soobin got to his feet and stopped packing, Hueningkai gave him a stern backhand. He put his pens on his pencil box and rolled his eyes.

"Kai, please talk to me.."

Unfazed, Hueningkai picked up his suitcase and walked out from the table. Only to have the taller one behind him follow him. Hueningkai continues to push the elderly aside. He was unable to hold the elder responsible for his desire for a simple talk with the younger.

Soobin pursues Hueningkai harder in an attempt to have a real discourse with the younger, the more the latter pushes him away.

Soobin seized his wrist and made the younger hiss, saying, "Please, Hueningkai!"

"Let me fucking go!" Hueningkai cursed in the middle of the cafeteria making the students look at them, confusingly and dismayed.

Hueningkai hated everybody's attention. Eyeing on them even though he's indeed a councilor. Still, Soobin wouldn't let go off his wrist. Soobin's eyes were pleading and Hueningkai hated those eyes.

It's his weakness.

"I said. Let. Me. Go."

"I won't if you won't talk to me."

Everyone was looking at them and Hueningkai's starting to feel frightened and embarrassed as he shrugs his arm weakly with a weak whine.
