SECRET EMBRACE | Jeonghan X Joshua | JiHan

FOUR

All this time, Jeonghan was looking at Joshua. He saw him. He saw him CLEARLY that Joshua guy's miserable look. He had already seen some tears on his paper. The paper was quite blurry with wet drops. Jeonghan felt guilty. He got some weird feelings. He knows that before he had never treated someone like this. This was the first time he said some things. He didn't even know why he said that and why he did that. He was in a question!

He might be a red flag or a tough guy. He might tease others or flirt with them. But he never wanted to make someone cry. He never wanted to make someone's life a mess. But with this brown hair guy, he did not understand what he got to. He couldn't stand him. He couldn't think straight about what exactly he felt towards him. He felt something but yet couldn't find it. He surely got annoyed but still, he felt sorry for him. Even After he had done everything, he wanted to apologize. He wanted to help him.. But why?! Before, He wanted to make him like a loser but now WHY?? Jeonghan's mind was a mess.

He crumpled his paper in anger and greeted his teeth with frustration. He grumbled after looking at Joshua who was already.......

"hyung??" mingyu tapped Jeonghan's shoulder while looking at him in his eyes. "what was all that for?" he squeezed his shoulders further.

"huh?" jeonghan questioned.

"what's with that new guy? You clearly were not in your right mind before, were you?" mingyu asked in concern. He knew that jeonghan would not do such things. Hurt someone.

"I... I mean... He.." jeonghan couldn't find an answer. That time he was so guilty.

"well... You can tell me anythinb hyung. I'm there for you. Hmm?" mingyu rubbed Jeonghan's back giving a reassuring smile.

Jeonghan slicked his hair back aggressively. He wanted to help him, but he didn't know how to.

After a heavy minute, the lecture ended. Mr. Lee had come several minutes before the lecture ended. After he came, the entire lecture remained in silence. None talked during the lesson except the professor asked questions. Joshua's eyes were glued to his books. He really didn't dare to look in front. He didn't look back either. He couldn't have written the damn paragraphs and equation properly. His first day had already been ruined.

Jeonghan, on the other hand, glanced at Joshua from time to time. He noticed the boy hadn't raised his head properly until the end of the lecture. He even noticed his notebook was almost empty. 'Why he hasn't written anything yet?!' he muttered. 'there's nothing to do with me for that. Right?' he questioned himself while disagreeing with the fact that he has a thing to do with himself..... Deny

Soon after the lecture ended, students hurried to their way to go back to their work. Some went to their clubs while some ran for their lunch. Since there was free time until the next lecture, they could do whatever they wanted.

Earlier Joshua wanted to go out of the lecture room and hide somewhere as quickly as possible but he decided to wait until all the students got out of there. He slowly collected his pencils and placed them in his blue pouch one by one. While he was collecting them, he found the eraser that jeonghan threw at him. He carefully watched it and found it was not his. So he turned to look at jeonghan who was about to go. Jeonghan didn't notice Joshua since he had already faced his way to the door.

Soon joshua stopped jeonghan, grabbing his arm. "Wait!"

Jeonghan looked at him in confusion. "huh!"

"th thanks. I guess" joshua put the eraser on the table and turned around to grab his things.

Jeonghan was looking at Joshua who was in a hurry while shoving his belongings into his backpack. He noticed that Joshua's skin was still red, and it was visible. Also, he noticed that his eyes were also red. He guessed that he was still in pain.
