16. you and your problems

" have you heard about the guy who's been obsessed with sooha since primary school? "

" of course. He's heard all around the school now. Can you believe it? It's kinda embarassing. "

" exactly. she shows no interest in him but he's still following her cluelessly. He deserves being punched by her yesterday. "

ni-ki had his hoodie covering his head as he walked through the streets near his school in humiliation. Sooha spread fake news about him a few days ago and since then, his life has been agonising ever since.

" stupid 15 year old life. " he cursed under his breath. " I just wanted to walk back home but they're speaking about it everywhere. " he pouted.

once he arrived at the bus stop, he sat there miserably with a sigh escaping his lips. The only people he trusted in his life were taki, his sisters, his parents and his cousin jake.

as he thought even more about the things sooha caused, he couldn't help but tear up. He wasn't making it obvious though, he was silent about it in case somebody from his school saw him.

" hey, are you okay? " a male asked, poking ni-ki lightly on his shoulder. " you look depressed. "

ni-ki looked up from his hoodie and observed the guy sitting next to him, he was really cute, definitely a senior. " ah.. it's just that schools been way stressful lately. Rumours and stuff. " he murmured.

" hm I get it.. " the other sighed and looked up to realise that it's raining. " don't worry about it kay? There's always going to be hardships but if you manifest well, good things will happen. " he smirked.

" manifest? you actually believe in that type of thing..? " ni-ki asked while constantly blinking at the positive senior. He looked like he was radiating sunlight. Was he an angel perhaps??

" wow, T type I see. " the brown haired boy chuckled. " it doesn't matter. Everyone has their own methods to be happy, you don't have to acknowledge people, rumours end up covering other rumours anyway so it'll be over soon. " he smiled and patted ni-ki's back. " I gotta go but I hope you'll feel better in the future! "

ni-ki watched the senior run away to his group of friends. Unlike him, he was actually popular and way more enthusiastic, exactly someone that he wanted to be.

" oh? the rain stopped. " ni-ki said to himself while looking up to the sky. Unexpectedly, a small smile started creeping on his lips from the fact he received advice from an attractive senior.
