"Fuck you Vernon!" I screamed between breathes.

I woke up this morning and he was gone. I checked the clock and I. Am. Late. For. Class. By. 1 Hour. He could've just woke me up when he left! What kind of roomate is that-

"Excuse me?" Someone grabbed my arm, stopping me from my running and thoughts.

"God damn don't you see I'm late for class?" I shouted, not looking at him. I struggled, hoping that he'll let go of me. But he didn't.

I finally looked up at him angrily. He was holding his laughs in, "Is only the second day of schoo-" His eyes focused on me. Then he gasped, "Seungkwan?"

"What?" I replied impatiently, "And why do you even know my name?"

"Seungkwan it's me! Remember me?" He shaked me hard, "I've waited years for this!"

"Who are you-" I asked, scanning his face and trying to search through my mind of bits of memories about him.

"Don't you remember? I was in your middle school!" He said.

"Just tell me your name alread-" I stopped, his white cross pierced to his ear... "Joshua?"

He pulled me in for a hug. I wouldn't forget or allow myself to forget about this. Joshua, my secret crush during middle school. He's always so perfect- good grades, good at sports, good personailty, good looking, he understands me, take care of me... Although he was super shy back then. I became best friends with him and slowly brought out the best in him, the confident side of him. He's like a big brother to me, but... He never had the chance to know that I liked him.

He transferred out from my middle school, the day when I decided I would finally tell him how I feel.

"Joshua..." I hugged him back, his comfortable smell surrounded me, "I missed you so much."

"Me too," He pulled away and smiled, "You haven't changed a bit, Divaboo."

"Sorry about the shouting and stuff," I looked down.

"It's okay," He gently patted my head, like how he would back then when I cried, "But help me get to the main office? If you have a little bit more time... I see you're late here."

"Totally fine! I'm already late anyways," I laughed and started leading him.

"Did you transfer here?" I asked while we walked.

"Yeah, I major in American food," He replied. He's still taller than me, about Vernon's height, "How about you?"

Vernon! That Asshole...

"Oh dessert making," I answered plainly, Vernon's sleeping face is all I can think about now. Something is wrong with me.

"Thank you Seungkwannie," He said after we arrived at the office, "Better get to your class now..."

I smiled, "I'll see you during lunch!" I shouted and started running towards my class.

Hopefully he'll hear me.

-----------------Time Lapse-------------------

"I'm sorry!" I pushed the dessert making room's door open while trying to tuck in my uniform.

Everyone stopped and looked at me, the teacher walked towards me. "What time is it? Mister?"

"It's..." My eyes went around the huge room to search for a clock, but meets Vernon's eyes instead. I couldn't take my eyes off, it's like there's something magical about it. I want to explore all of it.

"Enough! It's the second day of school and you're already late for school by almost 2 hours? What were you thinking?" She pushed her glasses back to place and hissed at me, "What if there's a fire emergency and you're late? What would happen? We school have-"

"Just let him come help out already!" I heard Vernon's voice. The teacher pushed her glasses again, threw a dirty look at me, "That's an immediate C for your grade!" Then she walked away. I rolled my eyes at her.

I slowly walked through the whispering tables and found my spot to stand.

"We're making different flavors of pudding today," Jeonghan hyung explained, "5 flavors."

"Thank you Jeonghan-hyung," I kept my voice steady.

"What? No thanks for me?" Vernon complained.

"You could've just helped to wake me up," I said angrily, "Roommates are suppose to help each other. You didn't finish doing my homework, though you promised to do it."

"You should've just wake yourself up in time," He lowered his voice and looked away.

"Just because I did what I promised and made you hot chocolate, and you didn't do what you promised...." I felt tears forming, no, there's no way I was going to cry over this, "I had to stay up late to do my homework."

"Seungkwan... Listen, I-" He looked up to search for my eyes, but I ignored him and looked away.

"No, stop," I breathed hard, "You've always been so mean to me. What did I do to you? And sometimes you just suddenly change and... I'm..."

Then my vision became blurry, some liquid formed in my eyes. The liquid was hot and it somehow managed to slip out of my eyes. I blinked rapidly and looked up, everyone was staring at me. Again. This time, I don't feel good.

"Enough! Go back to your works, right now!" Vernon demanded harshly. Surprisingly, not towards me.

I wiped my tears away harshly and my feets started running away. Towards the door. Away from him.

"Seungkwan wait!" I heard him call, but I pretend not to hear.

My feet kept running and running. I don't know where I'm going, but it was away from him.

I never felt so great before when I knew he wasn't chasing me.

I lay on a flat piece of land, not knowing or caring where I am. Then my eyes closed.

Everything felt so good without him.
