Jisung stared at Hongjoong for a long time, surprised to see him here. Well, he was also at the party so it was normal. But how did he know that Jisung was hiding here ?

— Oh perfect if Hongjoong knows how to walk you home ! Chan exclaimed with a big smile. He looked at Jisung and continued. I'm glad I talked to you Jisung. See you Monday !

Jisung gave him a shy smile. Chan walked back into the house.

— Did you already know him ? Hongjoong asks once the two of them are alone.

— Yeah, he was in the same class as me in elementary school. But he didn't stay long so we never really got to know each other. Jisung explained.

The newcomer didn't ask Jisung why he had run away from the room or even why he had taken refuge in the garden, alone. He simply asked him if he was okay with them going home. Jisung had quickly answered in the affirmative. He wanted to take refuge at home, in his room and opened his writing notebook. He wanted to empty his mind of all parasitic thoughts.

Together, they went back into the house. Felix was surprised to see that Jisung hadn't left without saying goodbye. He hugged him tightly, as if he understood that, in the room, things had gone badly.

Felix promised to pick him up Monday morning so they could go to school together. Jisung felt obligated to accept.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Hongjoong and Jisung left the house to go to the older man's car.

The beginning of the journey was spent in silence. The driver had turned on the radio but the sound was very low. It was past midnight, the streets were almost empty. Jisung felt good in this atmosphere.

— How old are you ? He suddenly asked Hongjoong. He was surprised at himself : He usually didn't engage in conversation. But Hongjoong had managed to make him feel comfortable around him.

— I'm 18. He replied. He quickly glanced at the passenger with a slight smile. And you ?

— 17. Did you miss a year ?

— My parents wanted me to do part of my schooling at United States. I didn't like it at all. I failed the year because of that and my parents made me come back to Seoul.

And they talked like that for the rest of the ride. Jisung learned a lot about Hongjoong in less than twenty minutes. He was a really nice and open-minded boy. He seemed much more mature than his age, you could hear it in the way he spoke. Jisung knew that with him, he would never be judged.

— I live in the neighborhood right next door ! Hongjoong remarked as he pulled up in front of Jisung's house. It's not even a five-minute drive from here !

— Oh really ? How come I never saw you on the bus ? Jisung asked.
