"Writing in japanese is so hard, this is hurting my hands." Soobin was sweating like he ran for ten hours, but in reality, he was just writing in a piece of paper. He was so focused that he didn't even realize the pen was out of ink. That was the only pen he had. He looked around to room to see if there was any other pens, not until he saw a pen peeking out of Liwoun's blazer pocket. He quickly took it out of the pocket and started writing again.

"-Take a rest or else I'll break your skull in half myself."

Soobin closed the pen with the cap and started to fold the paper. As he was done folding it, he put the paper and the pen back into her pocket. He was still securing it so it won't fall off, as soon as he saw Liwoun's eyes slowly opening, he immediately stopped.

Soobin was alone again, even though Taehyun already went to shcool, he ditched his friend to go sit beside Liwoun. It wasn't that much a big of a problem since Soobin likes being alone. It has already been a week since Taehyun and Liwoun first met and talked to eachother. At this point, you can't really say that they're friends anymore. As always, to keep Soobin company he was writing in his notebook again. That was like his diary, he doesn't miss a day on writing on it.

"This isn't even funny anymore, to the point I don't even know what to do anymore when I see her. I seriously hope that this is a dream, well, its a nightmare. Even though I try to stop thinking about her by taking a picture of the sky, rivers, buildings, plants, there's nothing that could stop it. But Taehyun will keep her busy since they have some sort of something now, but I still feel the same. But worse. I always try to stay calm but I just can't. I always feel the urge to drown myself in bleach. But I cant, they would all be sad if I die. Won't they?"

Even though Soobin seems a little cold sometimes and look like he doesn't care about anything at all. He can be assuming at some things. What I showed you was an example of him being an assuming person, what he doesn't really know that if he dies, people would be glad that he's dead. Im just joking a bit.

"I'm glad that you're okay, I didn't get much details of what happened since Soobin won't tell me everything. What exactly happened?" - "well... When the bell rang, I saw students running outside. I was nervous since everyone looked like they were panicking, then the teacher said something that I didn't understand which made me nervous. I didn't even realize everyone left the room but me, luckily, Soobin pulled me out of my chair then we both left the room." Judging by the tone of her voice, she sounds like she's reading a kid a story. "Then we both ran, we were going down the stairs then a student accidentally hit me making me fall. Well I kicked my ankle with my other feet that It made me fall more faster." - "Then?...."

"And then it was like.. Bwaaaghhh!!! I remember how it felt when my head hit the floor. Then my ears went tttiiinnggg!! I don't remember much cause I passed out after that." Taehyun was really worried about Liwoun, he didn't even know how she could just simply tell that to him like it was some kid's story. "Soobin even wrote me a letter!" - "oh, he did?" Liwoun nodded and reached for the letter in her pocket and showed it to Taehyun. "He sounded like he was threatening me in this letter, but he told me to take a rest since the nurse told me to!" Taehyun took the letter and started reading it.

"-or else I'll break your skull in half myself."

"Oh... Ahahaha..." Taehyun awkwardly laughed as he read that part. "I think this is too much... Don't you think?" - "its okay! I know he doesn't mean it." Soobin doesn't really mean it, he didn't have the guts to say it in a kind way. In short, he was shy. "Well, he can be a little rude sometimes."

"In that case, he needs a therapist!"

"We'll both be dead if he hears you."

-

"Why don't I always see Soobin in the cafeteria?" If she only knew that he doesn't eat. Well, she's about to know now. "He doesn't eat, I always try to force him but I just can't get him to eat. I don't exactly know why his body still looks healthy." As Taehyun said that, Liwoun choked on her food. "What?!-" talking just made it worse. Taehyun patted her back as she kept coughing, he didn't expect her to be that surprised when he told her Soobin didn't eat during break time. She pointed at the water besides Taehyun's plate, he reached for it and handed it to her. He grabbed the glass of water as soon as Liwoun was finished drinking. "Are you okay?"

"Y-" Liwoun coughed one more time. "Yes." Taehyun rubbed her back gently making sure that she wouldn't cough again. "Im just confused, why doesn't he eat though?" - "he never told me the reason why, but sometimes when I walk on the way home, I see him eating alone in some convenience stores."

"Oohhh..."

"Are you crying?!!" Taehyun panicked as he saw that Liwoun's eyes became sparkly. "No..." He just let her be even though she sounded like she was very sad. "Is it okay if I pack him some food tomorrow??..." - "yeah, it's okay. He'll definitely eat it. You don't have to worry about the food, he eats anything."

"Does he eat spoons?"

"I mean, he eats everything edible. Not inedible..."
