"Oh shit" Dohoon said as he woke up, he was going to be late. Class started at 8:30, he was already 9 minutes late. He quickly stood up and grabbed his uniform. He closed the button up and tied the tie around his neck. He quickly brushed his hair, making sure his blond highlights were visible and in place. He quickly put his books in his bag and went downstairs. He put a piece of bread in his mouth while running out of the house. Just before leaving to go to school, he checked what he had done wrong with his alarm. He realised now that he just put the time on the calculator... Of course it wouldn't work.

After checking, he started running towards the school. His hair was completely messed up by the time he arrived, so his blond highlights were hidden again, just like the day before.

He entered the school building and quickly justified his absence before going to his classroom. He almost lost himself as he didn't really know what the school looked like and where all the classrooms were.

He knocked on the door and waited to come in. He showed the piece of paper with the reason for his tardiness. Since it was a subject he didn't have yesterday, he had to have a new seat.

He was put on the second row, next to a boy. Well, obviously, the classes in their school were separated by gender. It was almost an all boy's school. Except for the fact that the girls had classes on the other side of the building, and they'd meet in the courtyard.

He greeted the boy but didn't get any answer, so he just shrugged it off. He took out his pencil case and started answering the questions that were on the whiteboard, just like the boy next to him, and the two others at his table.

"Shinyu, answer to question 1?" The teacher said after around half a minute. Dohoon guessed that they were almost done with the questions as he arrived. It would be highly probable.

"Uh, it means airplane?" He said, sounding quite uncertain with what he was saying. The boy next to Shinyu snickered, it was the same boy that was next to him in math. Dohoon didn't know his name, but he could tell that the two were friends.

The teacher shook his head and asked the boy next to Shinyu. He didn't call his name, so Dohoon still didn't know his name. He thought that the easiest way to know what he was called was to simply just ask him what it was.

"Car!" The class was doing transportation. They were translating words. Luckily for Dohoon, his old teacher was at exactly the same point as this one. So he could easily join in. It made him happy as he wouldn't feel stupid because of that.

"Correct" He wrote the answer on the board, just underneath the question. Dohoon checked his answer and celebrated in his head as he got it right.

For about fifteen minutes, the class continued answering the 8 questions. Dohoon at the end only got one incorrect, which he found to be a great thing. He was proud of himself.

Dohoon walked around the courtyard, he hadn't really been able to make many friends yet. He would eat lunch in the cafeteria alone, or with whichever people were at the same table as him, but he wouldn't talk to them. He wasn't expecting anyone to go up to him. After all, why would they? They've known each other for years. He's just arrived a day before.

But when Shinyu went up to him, followed by two other boys- the one next to him in math and Youngjae, him being surprised would be an understatement. The eldest greeted him with a warm smile. The unnamed boy, finally introduced himself.

"Hi! I'm Lee Kyungmin!" He introduced himself in a bright and cheery tone. Dohoon could already tell why Shinyu stayed near him a lot. He seemed like he would be a mood maker, an energizer. Or any other positive thing.

"Kim Dohoon" He introduced himself as well, slightly less energetic. The two continued talking as Shinyu and Youngjae just watched.

Dohoon had learned pretty quickly that Kyungmin was younger than him. They also learned that they were both introverted. Which surprised the older boy as he seemed to be anything but introverted.

"We should eat lunch together once!" Kyungmin exclaimed with a little jump. Dohoon smiled and nodded, the younger boy suddenly looked at the two others that were on the side.

"He can join us? Right hyung?" He asked, while nodding to make Shinyu say yes. He asked the same question to Youngjae. It made the two burst out in laughter before answering his question.

"Yes, of course he can" Shinyu said, Youngjae simply nodded as he didn't know what to say.
