Jisung is not your typical high school student. While most of his schoolmates are either excelling academically or partying hard, Jisung does neither and doesn't even have any friends. Ever since a childhood incident, he has been going to school wit...

He Knows
"Hi!" the little kid said as he walked to a smaller kid and sat beside him.
"Hello... " the other said with a quiet voice.
"What's your name?"
"I don't wanna tell... " the smaller kid replied, still not making eye contact with the other guy with bunny-like features.
"My name is- " the slightly taller kid was supposed to say but was cutted off by the other.
"Don't tell me"
"Uhmm okay....? "
The next day, the two kids met again. The bunny-like kid attempted to ask him his name again but he did not budge. A week has passed and the younger still have not told him.
"Why are you not telling me~" the older whined while pouting. "I'm just gonna call you Quokka for now if you aren't gonna tell me hmp"
"I'm calling you Bunny then" the younger said with a smile as he handed the older another cosmo origami that he made.
"I'll always treasure these cosmos, Quokka"
Every night, the two of them would sneak at each other's house at midnight. They would also always make promises every 11:11 pm, and the endless cosmo origamis given to the older.
"I promise you that this year, in 2011 on November 11, 11:11 pm, I will tell you my name and you will tell me yours!" the younger said with a smile on his face.
"Mhm, yes we will" the older nodded as he patted the younger's head. They cuddled for a while and Bunny left the house at 1 am.
Days after days, they still give each other promises. But there's something the older did not know.
November 7, 2011...
"Mom, dad, why are you packing?" the kid said with a confused expression on his face.
"Minho baby, I'm sorry but we're gonna have to leave Incheon and head to Gimpo asap. Your grandma is sick and she needs us" Mrs. Lee said, as she cupped the kid's cheeks.
"R-right now?"
"Right Now"
They drove for minutes as they headed to Gimpo. But there came something they all did not expect. The three of them heard a loud honk and there came a truck, driving at a fast pace. That's when their souls felt like they left their bodies.
They were helped by citizens on heading to the hospital. Minho's parents only received minor injuries while Minho's head was damaged a lot. They were all wearing seatbelts but the kid's seatbelt is not that secured which led him to this situation.
On the other hand, the younger was still waiting for him at the park but gave up and went back home. Maybe just maybe, he's gonna come over at midnight... right?
He waited until November 11th but nothing came.
Minho woke up, breathing heavily. Tears and sweats were running down his face. He grabbed his hair and sobbed quietly. He stared at the guy beside him who was sleeping while sitting with his back pressed on the headboard.
"I'm sorry... " the older person said while softly running his hand on Jisung's hair. He looked at the clock on the table, which indicates the time. "7:03... I slept that much?"
Jisung started to slightly move and opened his eyes. Adjusting his vision in the dark room.
"Hyung you're awake!" the blue-haired said, engulfing the other in a hug. "Wait, hyung are you crying? What's wrong?"
"Do you know something?" Minho said while trying to stabilize his voice.
"Know what hyung?" he broke the hug and looked at the other's brightening eyes. "About our past Jisung... "
"H-how-... " Jisung's eyes widened once he heard what the older said.
"I remember everything now Hannie... Why didn't you tell me... " the older said as he tried to suppress the tears that were threatening to escape his eyes.
"I-I only found out about it when I went to your house hyung... " he said while lowering his head. Minho held his chin and made him look directly at his eyes.
"Look at me when we're talking" he said as they made eye contact.
"I'm sorry" Jisung said with teary eyes.
"What are you sorry for?"
"For hiding it from you... "

The two just sat on Jisung's bed awkwardly when the older broke the silence.
"I'm heading home, thank you for today" Minho said as he stood up and grabbed his things.
"Bye Hyung... " the younger said awkwardly as the older just left without taking a single glance at Jisung.
'He would probably hate me more once he knew what type of person I actually am. I should've thought twice before doing something like that. I just... didn't want to trust anyone anymore after all those things happened' Jisung said in his mind as he laid down on his bed and let out a sigh.
The next day, Jisung fought the urge to not attend classes since he's been left behind on all the topics. He got ready lazily, stumbling on most furniture in his room for every single move he made. He went down the stairs and was greeted by Changbin and Chan being all lovey dovey.
"Why are you two up so early?" Jisung asked as he went to the door to wear his shoes.
"Actually... we did not sleep" the two said in unison.
"Insomniacs" the younger sighed as he twisted the knob and left after bidding his brother and his boyfriend goodbye.
"I wish we won't be awkward with each other... " he muttered to himself as he walked to school. As he was walking, he felt an arm wrap around his shoulder.
