Masks and Grades [Daehyun x Jongup]

Mask Was Kept

As Jongup's grades went high so did his confidence to do other things so he got himself involved with the drama club and the dance club.  He had acted and danced before but he was so nervous that he would mess up the act or the dance steps but now, that he had confidence, he was able to bring out his true potential.

As Daehyun's attitude changed, he started tutoring others and also decided to run for the student council which he ended up being the vice-president in.  He also became the president in his class and in the Math club, and sometimes he helped teachers with grading papers and other stuff.  He also stopped wearing his mask.

At first, their relationship had been good and they praised each other for their improvement but as time went on, they became too busy and they start getting jealous about how the other is spending too much time with other people and how the other had gotten close to certain people and their have been gossips about Daehyun and Youngjae, who is the secretary in the student council, and also Jongup with Himchan, the popular actor in the drama club, and Zelo, the cute dancer in the dance club.  Jongup and Daehyun started fighting a lot which eventually lead to breaking up.

Then they started to revert back to their old selves.  Jongup started messing up with his tests, acting and dancing.  Daehyun started to either ignore or talk rudely to people, and he felt irritated every time someone asked him a favor or to do something.

A month after their breakup, they received their grades for the semester.  Daehyun found Jongup on the exact same spot where one year ago, Jongup had disappointed written all over his facial features when he saw his grades.  Currently, Jongup still looked disappointed.

"Disappointed with the grades?"  Daehyun asked the exact same question he asked one year ago.  He just had the feeling that he should be asking that question.

Jongup was surprised to hear Daehyun talking to him after their last fight and breakup one month ago.  He even felt more surprised as memories of how Daehyun first approached him a year ago came to his mind.  "Yeah but at least they're still passing grades."

Daehyun took a glance at Jongup's grades.  It was definitely higher compared to a year ago.  However, the grades obviously dropped compared to last semester.  They both knew that they were affected badly by their breakup.

A year ago, Daehyun had placed a mask on Jongup's face because he thought it was weird for Jongup to be smiling when he was supposed to be feeling sad.  Today, Jongup took Daehyun's mask from his pocket.  He had been keeping Daehyun's mask inside his pocket since they broke up.

 "I couldn't bring myself to get rid of it."  Jongup broke their de ja vu scene as he said those words because those words belonged to the present and not from the past.  

As soon as Daehyun saw the mask, he knew that Jongup still had feelings for him and deep inside, that made him happy because he wasn't over Jongup either.  "Do you want to start over again?"

"No."  

Daehyun could feel his heart breaking.
