Yet my hands are shaking, I feel my body remains


Sunday the 23rd, 5:16pm, Location: Jooyeons Dorm

The two weeks passed by, not in a blur but anxiously, painfully slowly. I did any and all work I was assigned, I ate and showered well, waited for it to be over. I only saw Hyungjun, he would come to my room and stay for a few hours, maybe once or twice slept over because I had a nightmare when I'd fall asleep on him. While I heavily appreciated him, it was excruciating and I prayed I never got into trouble again. But I knew that wasn't possible. Today I asked Junhan to let me be by myself. I did nothing but nap and look at my campus forums, people were still talking about that Saturday.


I had no plans on doing anything else until three small knocks could be heard on my mahogany door. Taking my time, I pulled a hoodie over my head as well as my round glasses and patted my shorts down. Nervously I twisted open the gold door knob to a pleasant surprise, "H-Hey Joo," I didn't waste a second before pulling the now dark rooted boy into my arms, hugging him tightly. The shorter chuckles and hugs back instantly as well, I feel tears start to well up in my eyes again.

"Oh Joo, you're not at fault for what happened, I feel so much better now!" The shorter boy laughs, a sound like music to my ears and it made me realize I missed him a lot more than I thought. "I'm glad you're free, for now at least, but I was thinking these past few days and I want to talk to you about something serious Joo." The stone the older used did indeed sound serious and deeper than his usual jovial and happy voice, I gulped and nodded my head, stepping out of my room I closed the door behind us. We walked in silence out of House of Atrovirens Dormitory and sat not too far on a bench, the air was windy and cool but not cold, it was almost perfect.

We sat in a comfortable silence, the sound of leaves scattering on the ground as well as the whistle of the wind was only heard for a while. The peaceful moment came to an end and Jiseok was ready to speak, he didn't look nervous, in fact he seemed sorrowful and I was afraid of what he was going to say.

"You know Joo, I've been in this school since I was a freshman and those first two years were some of the worst of my life," he sighs deeply, I feel an unusual feeling building up inside me. "And it was all because of Oh Seungmin, and I think you deserve to know why." Now he seemed nervous and my heart was beating harder out of my chest.
