San returned after Wooyoung had fallen asleep, settling beside the window. The moonlight cast its glow upon Wooyoung's features, reminding San of Hongjoong. Wooyoung's eyes held a beauty reminiscent of Hongjoong's, his smile was captivating, and everything about him was different from his brother. Hongjoong possessed a strong and charismatic personality, while Wooyoung exuded a gentle aura, seemingly more inclined to be protected than to protect. Hongjoong was like a bee, buzzing with chatter and warmth, effortlessly befriending even the coldest souls, while San remained soft-spoken and reserved, a stark contrast to Hongjoong's outgoing nature.
As the moon descended, San found himself compelled to speak.
There are things I want to say to you, but I can't," he began. "I was here before, and I'm still here. I wanted to be your sun, to brighten your days and warm your heart. But instead, you became the ice that I melted away. We met by destiny, yet I shattered what we had. And now, I find myself standing here again, confronting your memory. I met you once, and now I meet you for a second time. Was this fate, or was it our destiny?" San recited a poem he had penned for Hongjoong,
"Let's be friends forever," Hongjoong had said.
"Forever is forever," San chuckled bitterly.
Suddenly, laughter turned to tears, bright faces grew pale, love transformed into hatred, and friendship dissolved into chaos. Hongjoong chose to believe in the world and not in San, while San couldn't trust Hongjoong and chose to leave his sight.
San fell asleep, his mind swirling with thoughts. After a few hours, Wooyoung woke up, disturbed by the light on his face. He saw San sleeping by the window, a dried tear on his face. Quietly, Wooyoung approached San and covered him with the only blanket he had.
Wooyoung: "I wish you could see how beautiful you are. No one sees you the way I do. I wish you could see yourself through my eyes." With those words, Wooyoung returned to sleep.
In the morning, San woke up to find the blanket on him, but Wooyoung was nowhere to be seen. He noticed a note left on the kitchen drawer. It said, "I'm going to college. It's three streets away, the main university of Korea." This reminder of college brought back memories of San's school days, particularly the same college where he and Hongjoong had once studied together. It was the same school where San and Hongjoong's friendship had fractured, leading to San dropping out and never seeing Hongjoong again.
Wooyoung quietly walked to his desk, everyone else engrossed in their own activities. He had been absent for three days, and as he entered, he felt the weight of everyone's gaze on him, their stares making him feel like an alien from another world. Wooyoung pulled his hoodie over his head, trying to hide himself from the scrutiny.
Junghee's voice boomed through the classroom, breaking the silence, "Whoa! Who's here after three days? Welcome back, guys! Welcome the faggot's brother. What am I saying?" His words hung heavily in the air, casting a tense atmosphere over the room. The class fell silent, unsure how to react to Junghee's taunting.
The atmosphere in the classroom turned tense after Junghee's words echoed through the room. Everyone fell silent, unsure of how to respond to the blatant bullying. But then, unexpectedly, the entire class erupted into welcoming cheers for Wooyoung. They tried to show their support, but their voices felt feeble against Junghee's intimidation.
Wooyoung felt the weight of Junghee's words and the fear he instilled in the class. He clenched his fists, vowing silently to himself.
"I'll get you someday, Junghee," Wooyoung muttered under his breath, his eyes burning with determination as he glared at Junghee. But Junghee only smirked in response and calmly approached Wooyoung, holding a math book.
Without warning, Junghee smashed the book into Wooyoung's face, sending him crashing back in his chair. Wooyoung felt the sting of pain and tasted blood in his mouth as he fell. Junghee's voice cut through the air again, his threat chilling.
"That's what you get for being brave. Meet me in the school's abandoned washroom after this, or you're dead," Junghee declared, his tone menacing. The rest of the class backed away,
Despite witnessing the violence, no one dared to intervene. Each student backed away, afraid to incur Junghee's wrath. Wooyoung, left to fend for himself, gathered his resolve, pushing himself up from the ground. He refused to show weakness in front of his tormentor.
With steely determination, Wooyoung stood up on his own and quietly returned to his seat. He carefully arranged his chair and table, a silent act of defiance against the bullies who sought to break him.
