I looked at my schedule nervously as I read again the room number I'm supposed to go to for my 1st class. Unnie Eunji and her friends went to their respecrive classes already keaving me finding my room. I sighed as this is my 1st time in this building and no school guard or teacher is nearby for me to ask directions. I walked fast guessing that my room might be somewhere at the end of this hallway but as I was scanning the room numbers I bumped into someone hard and I fell on the floor.
"Ugh.. Sorry" I muttered while trying to stand up.
"Oh I'm so sorry kiddo, are you hurt?"
A boy slightly taller than me with a funny face asked.
"Uhm yeah" I said as I was about to pick up my schedule from the floor. He seemed to notice the paper and picked it up for me but he looked at it 1st.
"Omg you're a freshman and attending literature class under Mrs. Song?!" He exclaimed and he was all cheerful and had this goofy smile plastered on his face.
I nodded and he suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me while walking fast.
"We're on the same class kiddo! Now hurry up and we're 5 minutes late already@ We don't want to really make a bad impression on our 1st day right?"
Oh so we're classmates. Well that's good right? At least I know someone even before getting to my class. But the way he talked and called me kiddo it is as if we are not of the same age.
"By the way I'm Jung Hoseok. Just call me Hopie hyung okay?" He turned his head slightly to look at me abd smiled.
"Hyung? But you're a freshman too right?" I asked.
"Well, I'm a transferee from another school and I'm supposed to be a sophomore now but this university didn't credit the subjects I took from my previous school so yeah, I have to go back to 1st year." He laughed bitterly but then his laugh turned to something so cheerful. "Don't worry I'm fine with it anyway! That means I'll have an extra year with allowance!"
"Wow, you're so positive" I mumbled.
"You didn't say your name kiddo"
"Ah sorry, I'm Jeon Jungkook, freshman." I said and he nodded. Then we stopped and as I looked up, we're already standing outside our room. The door is open allowing me to see the students already gathered inside, some were already chatting with each other, some are busy rrading something or eating their food. I waited for Hopie hyung to go inside 1st but then he mumbled something while looking at someone "This is going to be an exciting semester." He then entered and I followed his gaze and it landed on a pale boy with blonde hair. The boy looks so small and thin but he gives off a cool aura around him.
"Oh look who it is. It my dear Hopie! How have you been my ex-friend?" The pale boy suddenly blurted out upon seeing Hopie hyung. He stopped from walking causing me to bump at his back.
"I'm perfectly fine my ex-friend! It has been really a wonderful year without you thank goodness!" He said with a smirk and walked again on the other side of the room. I can feel some tension building so I quickly followed him to seat at the last 2 remaining available chairs at the back of the room.
Based on what just happened, they were ex-friends and for some reason they are both bitter with each other. I wonder what happened but nah, I don't want to meddle with this things, it's only the 1st day of school and I don't want to get caught in any drama. I relaxed on my seat and let my eyes wander around the room and I saw the pale boy looking in our direction smirking. I turned my head to Hoseok and he was staring back, jaw clenched and hands balled in a fist.
"Hyung relax" I told him since I'm afraid they might fight just by the intense stare they are giving with each other. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"I'm fine. I just can't believe the idiot is still here after what happened." He said and I was aboutto ask more when our professor came in so everyone went silent immediately.
"I'm sorry I'm late class. Now welcome to Literature where words will be your greatest weapon. It's gonna be one exciting semester for sure!" She said happily.
"Yeah right" Hoseok said and I just looked at him wondering what happened between him and that pale boy. Guess I'm gonna find it out soon.
