I pulled Krystal into the most biggest soft toys shop ever and almost fainted due to a heart attack. I had just 3000 won and each of those toys were legit, wayyyy over 3000 won smell like cash, my ass. With a morbid heart I dragged myself out when a small blue-ish black phone decor caught my eye. As simple as it looked, it was so much like him, black and crude, while there was this air of faint cuteness hiding in there somewhere, and plus, it's kinda cheap too.

I took the subway alone, my thoughts as usual aimless. I had no idea how tomorrow was going to be, and how I'm even going to give it to him. The thought freaks me out, but there is this dangerous thrill that pumps out the adrenaline, that makes me really want to dare for more. I looked at the polaroid of Jongin that I had treasured for so long, when a tap on my shoulder startled me. I turned around to face a guy with a wide smile on his face, his blonde hair blowing with the wind. I quickly hid the polaroid and had to look up because he was pretty tall.
"Wasn't that Kim Jongin? Of Nugyen High?" he asked, quite confidently.
"Umm yeah? Do you know him?"
And there began my conversation with a complete stranger with good looks.
       "Nice to meet you, Kyungsoo. I'm Oh Sehun.
        I hope we can be very good friends."

Oh Sehun, let's be very good friends then.

"My place is nearby. So I'll see you tomorrow then?"
"

Oh okay, bye!" said Sehun and I went ahead without him. Surprisingly, Sehun was the new transfer that people were talking about, good that I became friends with him. But, how does he know Jongin? It's just, the Jongin I know doesn't have any friends at all, but he's the kind of loner that people crave. Aish, why do I care so much anyway!

The morning sun streamed into my room, waking me up earlier than ever. I decided it was better if I go to school earlier, just so I'd save myself some embarrassment, so I skipped my breakfast and texted Krystal that I'd going without her. From what I know, myself and Krystal go pretty early to school, because we don't want uninvited attention(not like we get anything even if we go late..but still) and I've never noticed Jongin coming later, which pretty obviously means he comes way earlier. Wow, only if my brain worked this well in calculus.
As expected, the school looked like a dope rip-off from a horror film, like you know what I'm talking about right? The hallway looked hellish in a way, it made me more excited than scared, the small beam of light from somewhere carrying the dust with it, a phantom of nothingness spooking around in sinister silence...blah I'm being too poetic. I was confident with my steps and went to check the cafeteria, the infirmary, the gym, but he was nowhere..But something in me, told me to check the most unusual places a person can use as a hideout, because Jongin is just so unpredictably predictable for me. Our school being pretty big, we have almost 15 known exits and 5 unknown exits that only lifeless people like myself know. I decided to check the 5 unknown exits. Exit 16 and Exit 17 failed me, well let's see if Exit 18 shows me what I need to see.
