The film

Petals

Hanbin pov
Hanbin see's his partner leave for the restroom, rubbing her shoulder. He starts feeling uneasy, like he's on fire. Slightly coughing into his shoulder, he feels something brush his arm.

Looking down he sees a petal. Starting to panic he abruptly gets up. "Teacher, can I step out for a second please?" The teacher gives him permission. Grabbing his stuff he rushes out the classroom and down into the hallway, the pain slowly getting worse..

He starts coughing again, petals falling in a trail behind him. Hanbin knows what's happening. He coughs up petals frequently but everytime he still panics. It's not something you ever get used to

As he rushes into an empty room he slowly slides down the wall gripping his chest, he notices the black door that is painted with roses, a blue cloudy sky as the background and the rose colors being, red, yellow, pink, and blue slowly opening.

Standing at the doorway was Hanbin's Film Professor Kim joon-sik; as the teacher in a pair of beige dress pants and a black button up looking at him concerned steps closer to see Hanbin's brown eyes staring back at him looking as if he was hopelessly in pain. He looks at the circle of petals surrounding him frantically looking away from the professor.

Quickly wiping his tears he looks up to the professor.

"Hanbin..." the professor murmured while still staring at him concerned.

"Oh, uhm.. Professor, I was about to come back to class!" Hanbin said while trying to seem calm.

Mr Kim Nodded. "Come back to class soon." he said in a calming and soothing tone of voice. Hanbin listened to Mr Kim's words but didn't reply; he waited for his Professor to leave the room before leaning off of the wall and standing up properly trying to gather himself together.

He straightened his shirt and wiped his pants clean. He glanced at the door that was kind of ominous in the room he was in; it was slightly empty but not fully, and the desks all had some form of writing all over them... not to mention the dark colored curtains stopping the sun's light from coming in.

The flooring was carpet and it was the color of dark red wine. Hanbin realized he was zoned out when he heard a loud whistle echo through the halls. Running out the door he catches up with the professer. "Coming Professor!" Hanbin exclaims while dashing out the door still feeling stifled.

When Hanbin arrived back in the class he noticed Aera was back. He slightly bowed, taking a seat back beside her. He noticed she looked a little shaken up as did he.

They took a glance at each other before paying attention to the professor again; As Hanbin focused on Mr Kim, he felt eyes on him as the classroom was all staring at him before looking away to continue their work.

After class was dismissed Aera decided to ask Hanbin for his number for the project. "Hey, can I have your number? For the project obviously." Hanbin looked over at the girl, looking at her phone which was handed out to him, a new contact tab opened.

He silently grabbed her phone, putting in his number and lightly handing it back, grabbing his bag and slinging it over his shoulder.

"Yo Hanbin!" Hanbin looks over, seeing one of his friends, Gyuvin, at the doorway, a fat smug smile on his face.

Hanbin rolled his eyes at whatever the male could possibly be thinking. He bowed to the girl politely before heading out to his friend, the male patting him on his back.

"Yah! Hanbin-ah, who was that girl?"

Hanbin looked over at the male. "Just my partner for a film project" Gyuvin grinned, slinging an arm around his shoulder "Really? You never seem to just willingly be with a girl." Hanbin rolled his eyes, pushing the boy off of him.

"It's a project Gyu, worth 50% of my grade" Gyuvin just laughed, patting the boy on the back. Hanbin coughed, feeling his throat get scratched up from the prickly thorns.

And out came a petal, then two, then three.

"D-dude you-" Hanbin pushed Gyuvin back. "I..I gotta go to the restroom.."

Hanbin quickly rushed out of the way, ignoring the complaints from people he shoved. All he could feel was the fire in his throat and the pain in his shoulder.

He made his way to the bathrooms, going into an empty stall and puking out the petals and flowers. Everything hurt, remembering the pain in his shoulder he lifted up his sleeve and saw the red. The red that was black just yesterday.

Hanbin felt the tears swell up in his eyes, he was one step closer.

One step closer to his soulmate.
