School Enemy Academy

Part 3 : depressed

As the weekend arrived, the studio was filled with enthusiastic students. Some were practicing, while others were chatting animatedly. Bangchan walked into the studio, searching for a familiar face. He spotted you in a secluded corner, engrossed in your practice.

He approached you, a friendly smile on his face.

"Hey, Y/N. Thought I'd find you here. Can I talk to you for a sec?".

"Yea of course ..what is it?", i said while drinking water bottle. Bangchan leaned against the wall beside you, a hint of hesitance in his expression. He fidgeted for a moment before speaking, searching for the right words.

"I wanted to talk to you about something... sort of personal."

He paused, scratching the back of his head, almost unsure how to start. i furrowed my eyebrow, looking confused, "something personal ?? What is it?".

Bangchan took a deep breath, his expression serious now. He spoke in a low tone, trying to keep the conversation private.

"It's about Jeongin. I've noticed he's been acting a bit... off lately. He didn't say anything, but I could tell something was bothering him. And I have a strong feeling it has something to do with you.". My eyes widen, "me?? No no .. you ask seungmin, he is the one who always pissed him off..".Bangchan nodded, acknowledging your point.

"Yeah, I get that Seungmin has a habit of getting under Jeongin's skin, but this feels different. It's not just annoyance. It's something deeper. That's why I wanted to talk to you."

He paused, studying your reaction before continuing.

"Have you noticed anything strange between you and Jeongin lately? Anything you might have said or done that could've upset him?".

" I swear , me and jeongin is fine.. i think something happening from his personal side, and definitely not from me.." I said seriously and hoping Chan will believe. Bangchan observed your expression, seeming to believe your words. He sighed, running a hand through his hair as he spoke.

"Okay, I believe you. It's just... Jeongin's been distant recently. He's not his usual self. But if you say it's not because of you, then maybe I'm just overthinking."

He paused, a hint of concern in his eyes.

"Just... keep an eye on him, okay? He might need a friend right now, even if he doesn't say it out loud." I nodded. At the moment , Minho came in the studio with another girl student. My eyes gazing at them. Bangchan noticed your gaze shifting towards Minho and the girl student. A small smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Ah, Minho and his admirer. They've been quite the topic of gossip lately, huh?"

He chuckled softly, then nudged your shoulder lightly.

"Don't tell me you're interested in him, too?".

"Are you crazy, ? He is the most student i hate ..after seungmin ," i roll my eyes, annoyed.

Bangchan chuckled at your adamant response, finding your dislike for Minho amusing.

"Wow, you have a strong dislike for those two, huh? Can't blame you, though. They can be quite a handful."

He leaned against the studio wall again, his gaze lingering on Minho and the girl student, who were engaged in conversation on the other side of the room.

"You know, Minho might come across as cocky and arrogant sometimes, but he's not all bad. Deep down, he has a softer side too." I chuckled, "yea right .." . Then i saw Hyunjin came in with Han . I wave at them. Hyunjin noticed you waving and quickly nudged Han. The two of them made their way toward you and Bangchan.
