Then There's Us. [ Hyunsung ]

1

The sun was up high, clouds were scattered everywhere while the colour of blue painted the sky like a canvas. It was a normal and happy morning yet a sigh of tiredness could be heard early of the day.

"I told her I didn't want to" in front of the school gate was a good looking guy with a beauty mark under his eyes. With his slander fingers, he pushed his hair back and licked his chapped lips before pushing the gate. He looked around and wondered if he had arrived earlier than the others.

With the wind blowing towards his direction, he shivered and and walked towards the school building. It wasn't his plan to come to this school. He didn't want to but his mother insisted and as filial son, he just couldn't bear to say no the lady who had held him since he was a newborn. "Good morning, I'm Hwang Hyunjin I just arrived a few days ago because my mother got a new job here" he rehearsed as he walked along the empty corridor. Just a few days ago, he had already went to the school and walked around. So, he knew where his class should be. "Good morning,----" he kept whispering the same words under his breath as if it was a mantra and finally arrived in front of the classroom that was located at the furthest back inside the building.

When he finally arrived in front of the classroom, he looked up to look at the class number. It was indeed his new class.

Click, he twisted the door knob and the sound of the door opening erupted inside the classroom, creak

Once he entered the classroom, it was empty. He sighed. He was nervous for nothing. He didn't want to be bothered early in the morning. It wasn't a bad idea that he came early or else he will be the center of attention for coming late on his first day of school.

He looked around and found a seat by the window. As cliché as it could be, he enjoyed looking out the window and the point that he will have less seat mate made it even better. He walked towards the seat and sat down. He didn't want to be the at furthest back since he wouldn't be able to hear what the teacher teach but he also didn't want to be at the middle since he would be at the center again— in short, he just didn't want to have many seatmates and there was a probability he would hate them.

So, he sat at the front row. He placed his bag and rested his elbow on the desk.

He placed his chin on his palm and shut his eyes, trying to get himself some sleep since he had been up all night playing on his phone even though his mother told him to sleep early. As much as a filial son he was, he wasn't such a goody two shoes.

Click. He didn't realized that there was another presence accompanying him as he had started to drift in his sleep. Creak.

Step,"this is not your seat" he immediately opened his eyes, perplexed by the voice he heard. He turned his head around and looked up. He widened his eyes and slightly gapped his mouth. "Wah..." He whispered unconsciously. The other didn't heard him and continued telling Hyunjin. "This is my seat"

Hyunjin blinked a few times before he stood up. "Right, sorry" he took his bag and placed it at the seat beside the other student. "That's someone's seat too" Hyunjin sighed. "What about this one?" He asked.

"I don't know" The new guy answered coldly and Hyunjin felt disheartened. 'Am I annoying?' he thought while observing his classmate who seemed to be not interested of his presence nor what he was doing. His eyes slowly went down to the name tag on the student's chest. 'Han Jisung'.

A smile made it way to his lips when he found out the student's name.

"I don't know but...I think it would be fine to sit here"  Jisung said as he tapped the desk behind him, not looking at Hyunjin's face. Hyunjin nodded and smiled at Jisung, wondering if Jisung was always this quiet as he didn't think he would be quiet person.

"Where are you from?" Hyunjin held his tongue. He had been asked that ever since his classmates saw him. "I'm from Seoul" he kept saying that, he couldn't keep count of it and was getting tired of answering all of this."Cool! Then--" although his classmates tried to attract his attention, he was only fully paying attention to Jisung who was sitting quietly while reading a book.

He appreciate all the attention he received but he would like to stay low key. He wasn't that friendly to begin with. He was friendly but he didn't like getting to know someone and acting like they had been friends for 10 years. Even he would feel that would be to burdensome.

Ring!!

When the bell rang, nobody bothered to go out although it was already lunch time. The one getting out was only some students who didn't care about him and Jisung who was fast on his feet. " excuse me! " Hyunjin said as he stood up and escaped his classmates that was circling him. He really didn't think his classmates would be this interested in him. It's like they never see a transfer student.

"Wait!" He yelled at Jisung, not minding that many students were looking at him with curious eyes. "Ji-" he stopped himself from calling the student's name when he saw Jisung bumped into someone. Jisung knitted his eyebrows. Rather than 'bumped into' it was more like he deliberately walked towards the other guy. 

The other person frowned but didn't dare to say anything. Jisung didn't say any words either. He merely stared at the other guy before walking away. "Jisung!!!" Someone yelled before locking Jisung's head around his arm.

Hyunjin clenched his hand. "Who the hell is that guy?" He said when someone asked him. "Which guy? That guy or that guy?" Hyunjin flinched and turned around to be greeted by a warm and friendly looking guy. He was wearing the full uniform like an exemplary student and he was smiling subtly. Hyunjin bowed at him as he recognized him as an upperclassman.

"You're the new student,right?" Hyunjin nodded."Hyunjin was it?" The upperclassman asked whilst tilting his head. He offered his hand and smiled again.  "I'm Lee Minho. I'm one year older than you"

"The principal asked me to show you around. Are you going to the cafeteria?" The principal did say that someone would show him around but he was still quite surprised since Minho was very friendly and gentle. He had never meet anybody like this before but he could still sense something tense about Minho— like he knew he shouldn't offend him and he decided to put on his guard, still. After all, his mother taught him that quiet people usually would be scary if you offend them.

"Let's go then. I also haven't eaten yet" Minho said once Hyunjin nodded. He followed Minho and although he was trying to not stand out, it was difficult thing to do when he was a new student and very good looking with a hint of extraordinary charm. He wouldn't call it extraordinary charm but that was the first thing he was told when he met the teachers yesterday. They told him he would be very well liked by his classmates.

Although he had agreed to go with Minho, his head still turned around to look at Jisung who had had disappeared from his previous position. "What's wrong?" Minho asked.

Hyunjin shook his head. "Nothing, just thought I saw someone familiar" Minho raised his eyebrow. "Then is it really someone you know?"

Hyunjin shook his head , a stiff smile on his face. "I saw it wrong"
