Hyungwon grabbed his sling bag as he walked out of his apartment, not forgetting to lock the door. Another day to waste. He never fixed his bed (only the pillows) because what's the point when it gets shitty again anyway. He washed the dishes today (surprisingly), the piling plates on his sink was a bothersome sight. The only thing he likes doing was throwing the trash.

Throwing rubbish. Filthy things. Things he won't bring sooner or later.

Why not throw himself too?

He arrived at school, instinctually greeting the school guard as he make his way inside the campus. Small wave, constant bows, mere smile. Like a broken cd, he has grown accustomed to it.

He enters the classroom and seats down on his seat, the first chair near the door. He stared at the board, thoughts running through his head. Have I made the assignment? Will Sir Shin finally attend his class? Why is this girl behind me so annoying?

The school bell rang, halting his thoughts. He sat properly as their teacher came in and greeted them for their first period. Arts, how nice. (To those who read this with sarcasm I salute you because, I can only draw eggs.)

As their teacher were writing on the board a knock was heard on the door making Hyungwon shift his gaze to the door beside him. He checked the see-through glass, finding no one. He stared at it longer, and the unknown person knocked again.

Feeling his patience run out, he opened the door and was surprised to see a foreign person. By foreign, I mean a new face. (Which was a relief because there's this point where in he gets sick with everyone's faces.)

The teacher ushered the new student in and made him introduce himself.

"Hi guys, I'm Minhyuk. I hope we all can get along." The new bow introduced and smiled.

"You may sit next to Hyungwon. Hyungwon, do raise your hand to be recognized."

He raised his right hand, and placed it down when he saw Minhyuk, or so he was, making his way to the seat beside him. He muttered a small hello and went back to writing back his notes. But something has been bothering him since the new boy came in.

His smile.

He's always been smiley, and his lips has been curved up when writing his notes.

Makes him wonder. When was the last time I smiled like that?
