The Mysterious One

Washroom Talk

"HEY! JAEHWAN! WONSHIK! GET YOUR BUTTS UP FOR SCHOOL!" Umma yelled at us.

We woke up on the couch, in the same position we both fell asleep in last night. Taekwoon's gone for good now, things'll be different without him.

"We're up Umma!" I yelled.

"Morning Jaehwannie." Wonshik said, and gently kisses me on my forehead. "Hey, what's on your cheek?"

He peeled a yellow sticky note off my face and we both read it. It said:

Is this why you couldn't say yes? When were you going to tell me? I thought we were friends... I'll return your uniform, don't worry about that. Already left to go to school, don't bother talking to me at school either.

-Hakyeon

"Oh no..." I said loudly.

"What's wrong Jaehwan? What's does he mean when he said you didn't say yes? Did he ask you out?"

"H-he did... I can't lose him. Why? How could I let this happen?" Tears were falling out from my eyes, and I curled myself into a ball.

"Hey Jaehwan... Don't beat yourself up for this." Wonshik said, trying to calm me down.

"It's all my fault Wonshik, Hakyeon isn't my friend anymore." I said muffled. My fave was buried in my knees and I was still crying.

"Then we'll just have to talk to him about the whole thing and explain it to him. Come on, we have to get ready."

I uncurled myself, and stretched my arms out. Wonshik grabbed my hands and pulled me off the ground. I wiped my tears away and looked into his eyes.

"Okay Wonshik..." I moved closer to him and gave him a hug. Little did I know, Umma was watching us.

"AWWW!!!! JAEHWAN!!! We're talking about this later okay?" She winked at me, then put her work shoes on. "Wonshik, can you walk Jaehwan home please?"

"Of course!" He replied.

"Thank you! I'll see you guys later then!" She took her bag with her supplies and walked out the door, then she locked it from the outside.

"If you want to have a shower Wonshik, you can use my washroom. I'm going to go shower in Umma's washroom. Oh! There are fresh towels in my washroom, and you can use my other uniform..."

"Alright, thanks Jaehwan." We both went upstairs, and grabbed our uniforms, then went to the separate washrooms.

After their showers...

"You ready Wonshik?" I asked him. I was in the kitchen, making both of our lunches and packing them in our bags.

"Yep, and Jaehwan?" He said coming down the stairs.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"Your clothes smell nice..."

"Oh jeez Wonshik, you're hopeless." I laughed, then handed him his bag.

"I know, I know. Come on, let's get to school." He told me.

We walked to where the shoes were and then we both put our shoes on, and headed out of the house. He had his bag, and I had mine, and we were just walking side by side all the way to school.

"Um Wonshik, how are you feeling about Taekwoon and all that good stuff?" I asked him.

"Well, I'm still pretty bummed out and whatnot, but it was time to say goodbye. And I'm glad that you're by my side now." He smiled at me and we continued walking to school.

Once we finally reached the school, I got a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach, knowing that something bad was going to happen.

"Lee Jaehwan! What happened?" Hongbin asked, as he ran up to me.

"I-I-it's hard to explain."

"Really Jaehwan? Is it?" Sanghyuk added.

"It is okay! Even if I told you EVERYTHING, you wouldn't believe me. So it's just better by to explain at all..." I said to them.

"Really? Fine then, at least tell us this; why is Hakyeon is such a crappy mood?" Hongbin asked.

"Yeah! We've never seen him like this!" Sanghyuk exclaimed.

"I got to go..." I said, and ran away. Wonshik tried running after me, but I think he knew I needed some space.

I ran to the place where I felt the most relaxing please at school, at times like this; the washroom. I looked in the mirror started bawling. Then I heard familiar voices, walking in the washroom.

"Jaehwan? Is that you?" It was Daesung's voice.

"Really? It's him??" Seungri asked.

"Ssshh.... What if it isn't him, and it's just someone else?" That's Taeyang!

"Nah, I'm pretty sure it's him." Jiyong said.

"Who gives a fudge bucket? Let's just go inside already." Now that voice, was someone I didn't want to see right now; Seunghyun.

They came in and I quickly wiped all the tears from my face and pretended I was washing my hands.

"Oh, h-hey guys?" I shyly said.

"Looks like it is Jaehwan... I've got to chat with him alone guys, we'll only be a minute." Seunghyun told them all.

"Don't hurt him Hyung! Just talk to each other!" Jiyong asked.

"I'll try Jiyong, just wait outside for a second."

Jiyong, Taeyang, Daesung and Seungri walked out of the boys washroom and waited outside for Seunghyun. Oh lawd help me right now... I don't want to die this young!

"H-hey Seunghyun... W-What's up?"

"So, have you thought about Wonshik? Did you ask him what happened?"

"Seunghyun, are you referring to Leo?"

"Yeah. Yeah I am. How do you know him?" He asked.

Oh jeezzzz... Here we go again with the explaining.
