Not so Sweet? | Ivantill |

1. Another Start

         Today would be Till's first day and second year of high school, yawning as he stretched out of bed. His ashen hair all ruffled up, and teal green eyes blinking open. He had applied to go to this school for their musical programs. Hence the name 'Byeol Academy'* known for having popular idols and producers attending during their school years. Till has always been inspired to make his own music, being specially artistic at a young age. Showing off cute songs and artworks to his mother. Walking over to put on a white school shirt and the deep blue pants that came with his uniform. Till quickly brushed his teeth, making sure to grab his pair of headphones and messily do his tie as he walked out into the kitchen area.

"Good morning Till, dear" Till's mom said as she set down a freshly cooked breakfast for her son. A sweet smile on her face complementing her short hair and slim figure, Till looked the exact same as her. "Morning mama" he replied, sitting down and eating his food. "Are you exited for your second year of high school?" She asked enthusiastically. "Mhm" Till replied with a hum, his mouth stuffed with food. "Make some new friends, okay" She said grabbing his bag for him as Till finished up to walk out the door. "I will!" He replied accepting his school bag from her arms. Making his way outside, feeling the fresh breeze and warm morning sun. 'Hmm.. I hope today will be great!' he thought to himself. Slipping his sneakers on and making his way down the street.

Getting to the front of the school Till saw many students, some casually talking, running around, and others hurrying around like their late for work. Thinking about how obvious it was to tell the students who have been through a few years and the ones who were new. Sighing he pulled up his headphones ignoring that faint anxious feeling and made his way inside. Walking through the door was a whole different environment, or perhaps more packed with moving people. After changing his shoes he made his way to his first class. Taking out his schedule to take a look 'hmm.. 218.. Hist-'

"AUgh-" He let out while stumbling to the floor, his headphones falling down to his neck. "What, who the hell.." looking up at what the stumbled upon was.. a tall, big, and dark figure..? "Hey, uh you just stumbled into that kid" someone said. "Hm?" The figure turned around staring down at Till lying on the floor. His dark hair moving swiftly as he shifted, and dark eyes glaring down at him. Till felt his heart skip a beat, 'Why is he looking at me like that? It's like he wants to kill me.' "Ah, hey sorry about that" He said reaching out a hand for him to grab. Till felt his blood boil thinking about how he was speaking so kind after looking down on him with that dark face. "What the Heck!, don't you watch where your going." Till responded back 'How could he be so cocky, taking pity on me after shoving me to the ground.' He quickly got up on his feet and moved away. "Hey, wait-" The tall boy said but Till didn't bother to listen knowing very well who that boy was.

Ivan. Ivan Han. Also a second year like Till, though truly fitting of the idol appearance and personality. His silky black hair, dark and alluring eyes. Not to mention tall with a strong physical physic. Ivan is quite popular throughout the school knowing to catch the hearts of many with his extroverted personality and his strong understanding of language and classic literature. Though to Till he was just an annoying suck-up. Managing to run into him in his freshman year of high school, much like today. With that same degrading face looking down on him. Afterwords throughout the year tried talking to him, always hung out around him and messing with his stuff. Till just saw him as a big fly, always buzzing around and bugging him out of pity. He new this year would just be the same as the other.

Making to his homeroom he saw her, her long pink hair pulled into pigtails with that perfect smile. Mizi Yoon, the sweetest and kindest girl in the world. At least to Till. On his first day of his freshman year Till was so lost like a puppy trying to find his classes around the school. Though it was also Mizi's first year she couldn't help but assist Till. So admired by her kindness and willing to help others Till couldn't help but see Mizi as an angel. Ever since that day Till thought of Mizi as his crush, his face warming up seeing such a sweet and confident girl. Much like now as his face was turning pink when Mizi came up to him to say good morning. "A-ah yes, Good morning Mizi" he replied. "Let's make this year great!" She said happily and throwing a thumbs up. "Yeah!" Till cheered too.

As the first bell ringed Till looked up at the board to find his seat. Sitting down next to the window almost near-back of the class he mentally prepared himself for the school year, and his seatmate for the whole semester. As if the world decided to throw itself onto his preparation, there he was. That smug look and one tooth that curved to a fang in the front of his mouth. 'Out of all people, it had to be him.' "Heya Till" Ivan said sitting down next to him "Sorry about bumping into you earlier." He said smiling. "Hm, yeah whatever." Till said looking away and taking out what he would need for class. Setting out a pencil on the desk before grabbing his notebook. Though when he looked back it suddenly disappeared. "...", "Hey, if you needed one just ask." Till said to Ivan, then taking out another pencil. "Ask for what?" Ivan replied "I.. you know what, whatever." Till brushed off and began working. Though what he didn't notice was that Ivan continued to smile at him, then began to take down his own notes. With a pencil perhaps not so paid attention to in Tills eyes.

After being bothered by Ivan the whole morning class time on the first day back to school, the bell rang for lunch. Packing up his stuff back in his bag he got up and left down the hall to the lunch room. After grabbing his meal his eyes wandered for a place to eat. Feeling a bit anxious and quickly trying to find somewhere to go and not be in others way. Finding his way to the outdoor area he found a seat under the shade of a tree, recalling the fresh morning sun that was now higher in the sky. After deciding to rather eat his lunch outside than in the cafeteria he also remembered what his mom asked of him today. 'Make some new friends okay.' or something along those lines. Though Till was somewhat known around the school not many people paid attention to him. Sure popular people like Ivan hung around him, but he always preferred to hang by himself. Sometimes skipping lunch to write music sheets, or finish up a drawing he was doodling in class. "Ah.. what am I gunna tell her.." he sighed. "Tell who?" a proud voice said "AH-!" Till let out a jump in surprise "Pfft- Haha! You're so silly Till" the Tall girl said. It was Hyuna, a fourth year in Byeol academy. Also extremely popular around the school for her bold looks and incredible singing talent. "Come on, why are you eating alone we have been looking for you." She said "Mhm, making my way now." he replied. Picking up his food and following behind. Hyuna had always been a big sister to till. Though he didn't show often both had a chaotic side to them. Always having other people drag Till along out of his introverted shell. He didn't go out much during the break they had, and wouldn't mind catching up. After all it's a normal thing to do on the first day back. Making his way to sit next to Hyuna and their friends Issac and Dewey, they chatted away at all the things they did while school was out.

Before they knew it the time for afternoon classes arrived as he found himself sitting right next to Ivan. 'This is going to be a long semester..' Till mentally said. "Hey Till" Ivan greeted "What.." He replied "Nice first day?" Till looked over and saw his stupid face already smugly looking at his "I found this" Ivan reached over showing a bright red flower in his hand. "Everything's in bloom this time around." He said reaching the flower up near Tills face. "Hey- what are you" Till exclaimed in shock feeling Ivan brush his finger on his ear as he placed the flower gently between. "..." Till didn't have anything to say leaving a blank expression on his face. 'Is this is way of taking pity on me? Giving me my favorite flower with that dumb look on his face.' Till realized Ivan was still smiling at him. "ah.. what are you staring at." Till replied and turning his head away, though he could still feel his gaze upon him. "Hm, Mizi asked if you wanted to hangout with us sometime this week." Ivan said "uhm.. sure I'll come" Till replied Feeling his heart warm that Mizi thought of inviting him out even if it was with some other people. "Great".

Making it home Till felt his mind go crazy, though not because of school work. Because of all that happened today making his head sore. He changed into something comfy and started scribbling down some artwork. Wondering what Mizi had planed for this week. 'Knowing her we'll probably be hanging out with Ivan and Sua.' Turning on his CD player he listened to tunes while drawing. After lazying around, finishing his dinner, and washed up for the night he laid on his bed. Wondering how tomorrow will go.
