It was 8th period, homeroom, as I began to dread the club meeting. What if they all hated my poem? I wrote it so that Jeongin

No you didn't. Leave him alone.

Felix would like it anyway... I might as well try to rizz him up with my poems!

(I apologize for the use of modern slang, but I need to have it to understand what the retarded author is writing)

Jeongin truly is an enigma, I can't figure out what he's thinking at all... but it's not like he matters to me anyway. But I think Felix'll like the word corpse.

All of a sudden, school was over. And I had to go to the club.

♤♤♤

Uh oh. I need to make the decision... who do I share with first! I mean, I wrote this for Felix, might as well see if he likes it.

"Hey Felix! Can you read my poem?"
"Ok!"

He scanned the poem thoroughly and said, "Corpse? I like that It's really good!"

"Thanks Felix! Can I read yours?"

He handed me his poem.

Kikuo and Masa

Kikuo san always wrote songs.
The songs described my life's aspirations.
And Masa san's songs were what I'd do with my last moments.
I wonder if that squirrel by my house would follow me there.
Masa san wrote a masterpiece
The Spider and the Kitsune Like Lion.
I love that song!
I bet all I'd need is a ferret and that squirrel.
They'd help me!
Someone help me

"Jeongin...?"

He picked his head up off the desk. He was dressed completely differently today, his hair was curled in some places and messy, and he was wearing a black oversized hoodie instead of his typical white or blue. He had put orange highlights in his hair, and he still looked adorable, but he looked colder than normal.

"Yeah? Oh Acheron! What's up? Is it time to share poems already?"

"Yeah! Do you want to see mine? We can exchange poems!"

"Oh well ok. Here's mine!"

Mirai

An endless landscape,
Twisting and turning,
Desolate and full of people.
All wearing masks, like an infinite masquerade that never ends
I am just another one of them
But aren't we all?
If you're not you're nearly as useless as I am.
A failure who can never live up to expectations.
A useless cunt who will never be enough.

"So how is it?"

"Ah! Sorry Jeongin, it's really good! I can't tell what it means though..."

(How stupid are you? But you can't understand yet for the sake of the story. Your dumb ass will get it soon.)

"Bro are you fucking retarded?"

(I apologize for using this word, but in order to emulate the way that kids talk in my 8th grade classes, Jeongin, Seungmin, and Changbin will use this word, but only to tease and insult other students. I don't actually talk like this unless it's regarding myself and you.)

I was taken aback. I mean bro really went NMIXX CHANGE UP LETS GO and called me retarded!?! Can I blame him though? I am worthless and undesirable.

"The meaning is more obvious than your embarrassment around Seungmin and Felix. You need to get your act together and make some sort of attempt to hide your true feelings otherwise you can't join the masks you'll be alone forever and that goes to you too. Hide everything so you can finally be fufilled"
