Chapter 17: Acknowledged

[Wonho's POV]

We returned to our classroom after we wrapped up everything. I stayed there for a bit, telling Changkyun that I'll catch up. Little did he know, I carved something on the tree's body to remind me that we shared our time together telling stories and the sweet kiss that we shared under this tree.

I took a picture of it and walked up next to Changkyun. I guess he's finally comfortable with me beside him or whenever I talk to him so suddenly. But I want to know more about him. I want to know every bit of his past to know him better than anyone else.

I placed my arm on his shoulder, tugging him closer to me. He didn't budge or try to break free. He just let me do it. When we arrived at our room, I noticed a small box on my desk. As we drew closer to our seats, it was a box of chocolate. I eyed Changkyun if he knows something about this but it seemed like he doesn't have a clue about it. There's a folded note sticking out of the box. I pulled out the note and read it.

"I know what you did and it breaks my heart. Please stop seeing him. –M."

What a rude thing to say!

I crumpled the note and trashed it under my desk. I could feel the anger suddenly boiling up inside me.

Stop seeing him? Who? Changkyun? Like I could do that?!

I clicked my tongue in disappointment which Changkyun noticed.

"Is something wrong?" he asked.

"No. Nothing." I just smiled at him and seated.

Who are you, M?

[Changkyun's POV]

Time flies fast. After a little discussion with our last teacher, it would be homeroom time after. What surprised me is that my seatmate didn't have the chance to sleep during class hours. I would casually tap his shoulders if he's about to slump his head on his desk to sleep. Sometimes, I would see his face squint whenever I shrug him in which I find cute. He needs to pay attention in class since exam week will be on its way. We need to focus on studying and reviewing everything we learned so we won't get any low scores in our subjects.

The teacher finally finished her lesson and took its leave. As always, the room goes into chaos whenever a teacher is not around. The two of us just stayed in our seat while the others roamed around, forming circles with their friends.

"Have you heard about the bully from the higher year?"

"No? What about it?"

"I heard that he's targeting lower years."

"Seriously?"

"What's wrong with us? Does he have a life?"

"Just stay out of his way."

"Yes. That's it. We should stay out of his way."

"But isn't he the one who's sending gif– "

"Okay class. Back to your seats."

I just heard the conversation from a certain circle of classmates not far from our place. Their conversation was interrupted when our adviser, Mr. Yoo, came in. I glanced at my seatmate who's sound asleep. I didn't notice he dozed off when I was eavesdropping from that circle earlier.

Bully?

"Okay class. Please pay attention." Mr. Yoo commanded the whole class.

I tapped Wonho's shoulders, mouthing the words 'He's here. Listen.'. He sat up properly and yawned. He focused at the person talking in front.
