𝑪𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒖𝒍𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒂. A Jihoon Story | TREASURE

2. The hallway.

"Did you see the butterfly and the crow sit together on the window?"

"I saw the butterfly, perhaps not the crow."

Somehow the pretty one always wins,
even though, there might be someone right beside it, just not so appealing to the human eye.

Was that even a thing to remember?

Looks like author nim ranout of ideas.

"I thought you were dead last night."

"What the serious amount f-s do you mean?-"

"I called you like 10 times, even spammed you in some way, check your messages later."

"..seriously?" Junkyu said while scrunching his eyebrows, earning a slight nod from Jihoon.

"I have a little something to tell you too." Junkyu tried continuing the conversation, munching on the cream puff he just bought from the nearby vending machine.

Oh it tastes good.

Once again, the next day; Jihoon and his bestfriend Junkyu were sitting on the bench in the playground, near the maple tree. It was the month of monsoon. It could rain anytime. But it seemed like there was no bit of black, scary, roaring clouds in the sky. It was bright, and the sun was shining.

Just like someone's bright smile.

With a pleasant wind blowing, birds chirping, no darkness. Just how a day after-

"It was raining heavily last night and I couldn't call you, had to help mom with wet clothes and dishes." munch

Yes, that.

Jihoon just nodded, looking far off to somewhere;- or someone.

"There's somebody looking for you recently, Hoonie. I wanted to tell you that."
Catching his attention, Jihoon looked Junkyu's way; in a curious manner.

"Who's that?"

"Choi Hyunsuk. He's a recent pass-out from this school last year. Do you have any business with him?" Junkyu enquired.

"Nope. I don't even know him." Jihoon said casually; putting his hands behind his head and leaning back to relax.

"..You'll get to know him then." Junkyu finished off, getting off his seat and walking away; throwing the plastic wrapper of the cream puff in the nearby dustbin.

"Hey! What do you mean by that?"

Junkyu looked back, signalling Jihoon to look back aswell. There, beyond the school gates, stood a short man, with lime green hair. He seemed to be waiting for someone.

Frustrated, Jihoon looked back to see no Junkyu. He was already gone.

Moron. He thought.

Taking a deep breathe and walking forward, he called out, "Excuse me, are you waiting for somebody?"

Meanwhile, on the other hand; Yunseo was having her best time of life. In the library. Ofcourse.

Out of nowhere, she gasped loudly; making the other students in the library flinch and give her weird looks. A shy Yunseo got shushed by the librarian no sooner. Making sure she doesn't react like that anymore, she continued reading her little fantasy quietly.
