"Minji, this isn't the time, give my lighter back" chenle sighed as he tried to get his lighter back from the girl in front of him who angled the neon rectangular object lighter towards the bin.

"Shut up, We're going to work on you quitting this shit again." She dropped it into the trash can.

"Br-" before chenle could finish what he was saying a cherry red lollipop was thrashed into his mouth.

"You really should give up." Jeno spoke as he sucked his lollipop, leaning onto the desk, looking at the sunrise outside the classroom window.

Minji glanced at him, quickly moving her gaze towards the window as he noticed her staring.

The three looked outside for a while at the scarlet sun drowning in a pool of red clouds as it emerged behind large green mountains, as the sun rose up it left behind the red and elated into the clear sky turning blue as the clock struck 7 am.

In Jeju-do of Korea was situated Hanlim High School at the foot of the mountains. Hanlim was rebuilt, the original one lies at the top of the mountain, abandoned for years, due to mysterious reasons, but multiple rumours surface constantly as entertainment or even as stories to scare off tourists or newbies between students.

Among the students of hanlim high, were a group of youngsters who were completely unaware of what lies before them and this is their story.

"I'm actually so done with life." Nabi yawned as she pushed aside her food tray.

"You should eat," Jaemin said as he positioned her tray back, cleaning her chopsticks that fell down.

"Yeah, I'd rather not have you tell me what to do." she narrowed her eyes at him, getting up.

Hyuck looked at her with a stern look, "you better watch your mouth." hyuck yelled as she middle fingered him while exiting the cafeteria.

"Bitch." Yunha murmured. "I don't even understand why you guys are together." she raised her voice looking at Jaemin who simply ignored her as he got up following nabi.

"He's like a leech stuck to her." Haechan sighed.

"Guys, is this a bug in my salad??" Minji exclaimed, pulling out a four legged tiny brown creature from her stew.

"Yo, that's disgusting." chenle furrowed his eyebrows in disgust. He dropped his chopsticks grimacing at his own lunch tray.

"Oh really?" Minji got up holding the big with her bare hands walking towards chenle wearing a mischievous smile on her face "it's just a bug, lele!"

"EW, EW, EW MINJI NO!" Chenle backed up making a weird face at the girl approaching him, eventually dashing out of the cafeteria.

"There they go again." haechan eye rolled.

The girl began to run behind him, accidentally getting her leg caught up between her open shoe laces just as she was about to fall flat on her face two arms caught her up from behind.

Opening her eyes open to see if she was dead only to face a worried jeno, "god, I thought I fucking died." she got out of his arms recovering from whatever just happened.

"You should be more careful." jeno sighed as he bent down on his knees to tie her laces. "Yeah, um thanks.." she tucked her hair behind her red ears as she nervously watched the boy tie her laces.

"Bro what the fuck." heads turned to where the voice came from. It was renjun, with a scrunched up face along with a confused mark, who just entered the cafeteria with their lunch trays,

"Ain't no way you're still not over her." renjun huffed as he watched jeno get up and turn towards minji, avoiding him.

"You should get new laces, these ones stretched out." he said, a subtle smile on his lips.

"Right, I gotta get going now." she fumbled over herself before walking away causing jeno to hold her again as they both locked eyes.

"Oh my fucking god." renjun whisper yelled frustrated as he fake-banged his head on the wall while mark scratched his head, deeply confused.

"Hi guy-" chenle entered back in the cafeteria with caution only to spot jeno holding his best friend as he gazed into her eyes like a starving hyena preying upon some wounded gazelle in the middle of the forest.

"I think i just threw up in my mouth for the second time." he made a weird face looking at the two holding each other without any worries of the eyes on them.

"Wait so are they together or not?" Haechan whispered to mark, who was still scratching his head. "Yo I have no idea at ALL."

"Mitochondria is the powerhouse of th- PARK JISUNG!" The science, Mrs. Jung stopped in between as she noticed the student entering the classroom.

It was Park Jisung, he had earphones plugged in, mask on and he looked like he just woke up.

Plus, this is the 3rd class and he was already 20 minutes late.

"So...?" Mrs Jung raised her brow as she waited for the young boy's answer, tapping her heels against the cold white tiles impatiently.

Jisung looked up, removing one of his earphones as he raised his eyebrows at the woman "yes?" He blatantly asked her as if he had done absolutely no wrong.

"I see you late once more and the next thing you know, you're in the headmaster's office." She turned back to the whiteboard, sighing.

"Whatsup" Bella, jisungs bench partner nudged him as he sat down, "sleeping, were you?" She smiled.

He nodded, "could you lend me the past few sessions notes later?" He asked her.

"Yeah, sure." Bella sighed.

It's been 6 months since their relationship and all jisung ever did was ask Bella notes, tests, study guides and all that. No sweet words, no affection. She wondered very often if he was just using her? Or maybe he ju-

Bella's thoughts stopped abruptly as a loud ringing sound ringed in her ears .

The buzz getting louder and louder. In pain, she cupped her ears, shaking her head trying to get the voice out of her brain.

It was so loud the ringing sound, and it didn't stop almost like it were a siren. She could feel a stinging irritation in her veins as the noise increased and increased building up. She held her head tighter, shaking it harder in hope of escaping it.

"Hey, are you okay?"

She stopped abruptly, breathing heavily as she looked to her side to see jisung with a frown as he held her wrist

"I- My head," She swallowed, "it felt so heav-'' stopping midway, noticing the confused expression on the boy's face as she shook her head. "Nothing, just headaches" she tried to smile.

Nodding slowly, jisung turned away but bella remained silent, still recovering from whatever just happened. She was zoned out the entire class.

But always, subconsciously turned a while or two towards the window. She didn't know what it was, but her eyes wouldn't leave the window, specifically the distant mountain.
