~ The next week ~

It was Jisung's first full week after he stopped going to school. Now that SungHo got expelled, the fear he had was completely gone. SungHo's group of friends still sent him weird looks, but they never bothered him ever again. They understood where their place is at.

It was Jisung's last class before lunch break. He was starving. He had slowly started to eat more. In only a week he gained almost all the kilograms he had lost. He was getting better. He still had difficulty looking at himself in the mirror and he still cuts himself from time to time, but other than that, Felix and Hyunjin saw their little sunshine slowly coming back to life.

The bell rang. Jisung rushed to his locker and put his books back in it. He took out his wallet and made his way to the school exit. Today he was going to a restaurant with Felix, Hyunjin and Seungmin. They planned to go eat at a new ramen restaurant that opened two weeks ago. Hyunjin invited his roommate, Kim Seungmin to come with them since he's a big fan of ramen. So today's the day, they finally gonna test this new place. He's excited. Jisung loves trying new restaurants. He used to do it a lot with Felix when they met. He doesn't know why they stopped, maybe because of the university that takes all their free time.

Jisung waited for the other three outside. They were late. He looked around and not too far from the school gate was sitting on the grass, Jeongin. He was smoking a cigarette while looking at his phone. His long ginger hair were hiding his eyes and nose, allowing Jisung to only see his mouth and chin.

They haven't talked since last week after the dance class. Jisung tried to build up the courage to come and talk to him, but every time his anxiety took over him. Suddenly, Jeongin looked up from his phone and made eyes contact with Jisung. He was caught red handed. Jisung could feel his cheeks getting hotter.

Jeongin maintained the eyes contact and after taking a puff of his cigarette he made a sign to Jisung to join him. Jisung was confused and after looking behind him to make sure he was actually talking to him, he joined the ginger haired boy.

Once Jisung was standing in front of the younger male, he was asked to sit next to him, which he did without any wait.

"'Sup?"

"Oh, nothing much, I'm waiting for my friends, that's all. How about you?"

"Just smoking." Took another puff of his cigarette. "You wanna try?" Asked Jeongin showing him the cigarette he's holding between two fingers.

"O-oh, I don't smoke.." Said Jisung, embarrassed.

"Really? That's too bad." And like if Jisung didn't exist, Jeongin completely ignored Jisung and went back on his phone.

"I-I mean... I can try.. I guess.." Said Jisung after long minutes of silence.

Jisung immediately caught Jeongin's attention with this simple yet unsure statement. It's with a grin plastered on the younger's face that he handed him his half consumed cigarette.

Jisung took it with shaky hands. He wasn't a fan of drugs. To be honest it scared him a little. But he was determined to keep Jeongin's attention on him. If he really is the masked guy like he thought, he won't let him go until he spills the truth.

Jisung stared at the lightening cigarette perfectly sitting between his index and middle finger.

"Do you how to do it?" Suddenly asked Jeongin.

"I-I.. no." Shyly answered Jisung.

A little further than the two was standing a trio of friends. Chan, Changbin and Minho were settled at their usual spot for their lunch break. The group of friends were talking shit about some of their teachers, actually, Chan and Changbin were, Minho had spotted Jisung and Jeongin not so far from them.
