Saturday November 8th 8:42am, Location: Jooyeons Dorm
"Hi Joo, I'm going to start cleaning your room okay?" The cotton candy haired boy says and does as he began to pick up the piles of clothes on the floor. Besides that, there were also empty snack wrappers, empty water bottles, and homework papers spread around the average sized room. I had no excuse for this messy behavior besides being lazy and feeling a little out of focus these past few days. I thought it was strange though for the older boy to come here so early and wanting to clean my room since he didn't like cleaning his. "Seok what are you doing here? What's on your mind because I know it's not here to clean up my mess?" I ask suspiciously, I see him only smile and continue to tend to the mess. "Jiseok you're being weird, tell me." He flinched in surprise, the black rimmed glasses on his face had fallen off as well and he finally opened his mouth to speak.
"Okay Joo listen please, I was taking a morning walk in the courtyard and Kim Jungsu came up to me and he asked me to ask you well, Ifyouwantedtogotohispartytonight?" He says in an attempt to make it sound like I wouldnt understand but It was clear to anyone. "What? Jiseok, you think I'd actually want to go? It has barely been a week since the last disaster?" I was more confused as to why Jungsu wanted me and Jiseok there? I was sure he hated me, the way he spoke to me a few days ago still lingered in my head.
A few days ago, Wednesday the 5th
I was casually sitting behind a tree during my break as one normally does, enjoying a lunch that consisted of bibimbap and a coke when all of a sudden a shadow appeared before me, mid-bite. I looked up to see the one and only Kim Jungsu, he looked exactly like how he normally did, sophisticated and perfectly poised, not a hair out of place. "I'm gonna sit okay?" And he did, right in front of me. I only stare at him awkwardly, chewing my food slowly but not taking my eyes off of him. I had come to the conclusion that everyone at this school was just a weirdo. "Is there something you need or what's happening here?" I say after I finished my food and drink, The black haired male still only looked at me for a while with an unknown emotion on his face and finally after a while he spoke, "I just wanted to let you know something, you don't have to believe me but I just have to tell you this." He says, I could feel my head hurting from all the thoughts that began to run through my head but I motion at him to continue, "You need to be careful with Hyungjun, he tends to be a little more different in a relationship, you have to be mindful of how sensitive he is too okay? That's all, have a good day now Jooyeon." And in an instant he was gone, the headache was even worse now.
"That's so weird Joo, I'm concerned for you, has anything happened between you two or something?" I motion no to my best friend and get off the bed, stretching my body. "No one will tell me exactly why, but I think I'll figure that out soon." The older male pouts at me and I look around the room, everything was off the floor and in its rightful places. I was thinking maybe It was a good idea to attend this party and hope to get my mind off of things, I also hoped nothing would happen.
Many hours later, 9:26pm, Location: some place in the woods near the school
Leaves could be heard crushed beneath our slow and steady foot-steps, the air from our warm breathing was visible as it just cold out. Jiseok and I held each other as we approached the noise and lights that could be seen from a small distance. As we reached the area, the first thing that hit me were the smells, whether it was alcohol, vomit, or drugs. It hit me all at once and the headache came back instantly. "Ugh Joo, it smells fucking awful," he says which surprised me, as Jiseok wasn't the type to curse this way but I agreed. "It would be rude if we left as soon as we arrived, let's just rough it for an hour or so," and we made our way to one of the logs that were placed on the floor surrounding a small fire. I was then able to fully take in the exterior decorations, drinks were available on foldable tables in many areas of the spot, flashing lights, stereos for music, and everyone was in their own group, all talking and laughing, doing other inappropriate things, drinking, smoking, basically like any other party just outdoors. I made sure to tell Jiseok to stay close to me, I had a feeling things would go wrong if we separated.
Amongst the giant crowd that began to form around us, I had lost the 4-eyed boy in the chaos. It was all due to a certain song beginning to play and everyone jumped into what seemed like the center and all started dancing and jumping around. I gulped at the closeness of every stranger around me, with the thoughts in my head of the song playing, it would take three minutes and twenty-six seconds for it to play through. Three minutes too long I knew I had to find Jiseok immediately, and so I started pushing my way out of the crowd of people, swishing my head left and right hoping to spot a short boy with blue and pink hair. When that didn't work I began to ask the other idle students if they had seen him and unfortunately, I was faced with the same answer, until, "Oh you mean Kwak Jiseok? I saw him go over 'there' with some other students," A red haired male says, pointing to a small crowd of students not far from where we were standing. I thanked him quickly and ran as fast as my fatigued legs could and caught up to the group to see they were each, one by one pushing the small male around. Their laughter was loud and mocking, I could feel an anger building up inside me as well as I noticed the boy had strange, circular and red marks on his neck and his glasses were missing. He also seemed to be sweating profusely, he was completely out of it.
"Well well well, I thought I recognized you and this poor little sheep," The devil says, he stood on the outside of the circle, the people around him laughed once more before I knew what I really felt, pure rage. Without thinking, I make my way towards the silver haired devil, reacting quicker than I could think I swing my leg around once to collide my booted foot with his stomach as hard as I could and the next thing I knew, he was laid on his side coughing up a piercing red liquid, heaving and holding his stomach. I only grabbed Jiseok and look down at Seungmin, a look of shock and disbelief written on his face, his crew also stared at me in shock and what I had just did but I didn't care as I turned around and dragged my sweet and kind friend away from the hell hole filled with demons and towards campus as quick as possible.
A/N: Pls don't hate me for this ya'll 😓
