One last Chance- Seungjin

11

Seungmin was back in school, the difference between now and before is that now he had friends.
School was better now that he wasn't tormented, after being seen with his friends, the bullies had stopped picking on him. He had friends, new clothes, good hygiene and money for food.

Class was boring, especially math class. But there was something that made math class less boring, and that was a certain boy.

Since seungmin had spent some time in Hyunjins house, he felt that Hyunjin might would've been in some trouble. The house was a bit dirty, just some dishes on the counter, a bit of clothes on the floor, nothing that made Seungmin especially worried. One thing seungmin did find something that made him a little worried, and that was blood. In the kitchen sink.

Seungmin didn't only focus on Hyunjin because he had a slight crush, but also because he was worried. Hyunjin hadn't talked to seungmin since that day, Hyunjin had even stopped talking to most of the friend group. He was the schools new loner, but since he had money and good looks no one bothered him for it.

Math class was seungmins last class for the day, so when the school bell rang seungmin practically ran out the classroom. He ran because he wanted to go home and because hi didn't wanna run into Hyunjin.
Seungmin frantically looked behind himself to see if Hyunjin was there, unfortunately for seungmin, hyunjin wasnt behind him.

"Ouch" seungmin said after bumping into someone.
"Are you looking for someone? You keep looking back, it's not very smart to do so while walking forwards"
Unfortunately it was Hyunjin. Seungmin apologized and quickly walked away. Hyunjin became suspicious, seungmin had never acted weird.

Once seungmin got home he was relieved to realize he was the first one to get home. Both Felix and Jisung had atleast 1 class left. Seungmin was still flustered over his recent interaction with hyunjin.
Seungmin could still smell hyunjins perfume which smelled amazing.
Seungmin felt like a creep, but there was something about Hyunjin that was addictive.

Seungmin wrote everything down in his journal.
It was relaxing to realease all his emotions into a book.

Dear diary
Today I bumped into Hyunjin, even when I specifically tried to avoid him. I quickly apologized and ran away. I don't know why, but I became really flustered. Like my face became really hot, and probably red. I got this weird tingling feeling in my chest and hands. Am I afraid of Hyunjin? I shouldn't be, but ever since the day I spent time in his home I've kinda looked at him differently, idk maybe I am scared. It's best to stay away from him.

Seungmin hid away his journal under his mattress, and shifted his focus. Felix and Jisung had finally been able to clear Seungmins room of all their stuff. Now that only Seungmins things was there, the room seemed a bit empty. Seungmin didn't own much, so he decided to make a project out of it. Of course he asked his friends first if his plan was ok, and it was. He wanted to repaint the walls, decorate and rearrange the furniture. The only furniture he had so far was a bed, a nightstand, and a wardrobe.

At the paint store Seungmin picked out the color
#c3d4a4. He loved it since green was his favorite color. He got home, moved all the furniture out of his room and temporarily moved it into the living room and hallway. Then he taped up his room, put plastic sheets on the floor and started painting. He did all this himself, and he was good at it. He followed the instructions and everything was fine.

After a week the painting was done and the room already look so much better. Now Seungmin just needed to buy more furniture. He bought a desk with drawers, a chair, a rug, one more pillow, his own bed sheets, 2 plants, some candles, frames, and a cozy blanket. Most of these were either black, white or gray. For decoration he bought paintings for the frames, pots for the plants, stickers, pens, and fragrance sticks. All the decorations fit the color scheme seungmin had picked out. The candles, bed sheets, paintings and the packaging of the scent sticks. Everything was a shade of green.

Once seungmin was done he felt relieved. Finally after 1 month was his room actually his. It looked, felt and smelled great. Only problem now was that he was out of money. In his mind it wasn't a problem since he definitely could go 2 weeks without eating or buying anything, but then he realized that he needed to provide money for rent and food. Felix and Jisung was really nice. They let seungmin stay the first months without paying anything, but once seungmin got a job as a waiter at a nearby restaurant, it wasnt rude for Jisung and Felix to ask Seungmin to help with the bills. After all Seungmin also lived there.

Seungmin now panicked, it was his day to buy groceries in 2 days, aswell as paying the water bill. How would he do that? He knew one way to do it, but he didn't want to.

"It's the only way..." Seungmin sighed for himself.
"Just one last time"
