Lee Minho. The popular boy at Hyunjin's new school. The first person Hyunjin ran into when he was looking for his classroom and looking at the room numbers, he didn't see the group of boys coming towards him and so he ran full speed into one of the boys, lost his balance and landed on the ground. From sheer shock, which turned directly into panic, Hyunjin stood up and apologized a thousand times to the boy he ran into, as well as to the rest of the group, which confused the them, but they didn't say anything.

Instead, they helped him gather all his things and handed them to him. He thanked him again and so, with his head bowed and a certain feeling of shame, he continued to look for his classroom. Luckily for him, he ran into a teacher who he asked as politely as he could if he could help him, only to be told that he was going to his class and should just follow him. 'Well, thats fine too right?...' Hyunjin thought to himself and simply followed the gentleman silently through the school hallways to his classroom.

He was definitely aware that he would get lost a few more times, but nobody has to know that, he didn't really talk anyway, why should he? He's never had a best friend or friend group so what would he use his voice for? But let's go back to Hyunjin who followed his class teacher like a lost puppy. A few minutes later the two were standing in front of the classroom, the class was complete and only one seat was left, which was probably for Hyunjin. He followed the man into the room and everyone fell silent.

"Good morning everyone. As of today we are a complete class, there will not be a single seat left in here, because the young man next to me will be joining our class as of today. You know the rules and the consequences if anything bad happens, or if it makes his way to me, but let's start slowly. Would you be so kind as to introduce yourself to the class?" With a simple nod and slightly shaking hands, he began to talk. "Good morning, my name is Hwang Hyunjin, I'm eighteen years old and I'm going to this class from today on." The teacher nodded.

"Hyunjin, my name is Heechul Song, for you like the class Mr. Song. If there is anything wrong, you can come to me and tell me and I will take care of it immediately. Otherwise, I hope that you find your way around here quickly and can contribute well to the class. If there are any difficulties there, please tell me about that too, then we will have a class meeting and sort it out." Hyunjin nodded, slightly overwhelmed, and stood a little awkwardly in front, when Mr. Song sent him to his seat.

"Oh, you can sit next to Minho, that's the only free seat anyway." With a nod, Hyunjin went to the table with the only empty seat next to it and immediately recognized the boy he ran into before and later also his friends who were sitting across the room. Minho was his name. Without thinking about it, he took his school supplies out of his backpack and concentrated on the lesson, even if he didnt talk, he was always one of the first to finish the task in question, which is why Mr. Song sometimes had problems keeping the boy busy and simply let him sit in his place, where he was then allowed to draw or something similar.

During breaks he sat alone in the cafeteria and calmly ate his food. When he was finished, he left and walked outside where he spent the rest of the break simply listening to music. Not knowing that there is a certain group that is watching him and some things are running through their minds. Why is he sitting alone? He already spoke to so many students, so why is he sitting alone? Where is he going now? What is with this boy? But they didn't get any answers to these questions because they couldn't just ask the boy.

And so the first few weeks went by with Hyunjin sitting alone and disappearing after he ate. So the first few weeks went by where Hyunjin didn't find any friends again, they all only talked to him because he helped them or revealed the solutions, and Hyunjin knew this, but he didn't let it show. Even though he was aware that there was definitely someone who would notice. The difference between how long he sat in the cafeteria at the beginning and how long... and how quickly he left now with a small snack and something to drink.

What he didn't expect was that his class teacher would stop him after class just two months later to talk to him. "Hyunjin, come here for a second." He said and Hyunjin expected the worst, but he still walked forward to Mr. Song and looked at him expectantly. "Could you stay here after class, I need to talk to you about something, okay?" Hyunjin nodded silently and went back to his seat with his thoughts circling, where the lesson began. He looked at the clock every five to ten minutes, and the closer it got to the end of class, the more nervous the black-haired boy became. When the bell rang, he took a deep breath and just sat calmly until all the students were outside.

Mr. Song came up to him and sat in Minho's seat. "Don't worry, it's nothing bad. I just heard that you're no longer in the cafeteria during your lunch break and that some students in this class are worried about you, that you're not eating or drinking enough... that's all... Is everything okay with you? Do you have something on your mind?" He asked, Hyunjin simply shook his head. He didn't want to tell Mr. Song after what he heard and was told, that he has no friends and everyone who talks to him is just taking advantage of him because he is helpful.

With an uneasy feeling, Mr. Song nodded and sent Hyunjin to his lunch break. That day, the students in question didn't see the boy in the cafeteria at all and so they decided to buy him something to eat and drink and put it on his desk.

Where will this all lead?

What has Mr. Song to do, that the boy will open up to him? Because he can clearly see, that something is wrong with him.
