Then There's Us. [ Hyunsung ]

"It seem like you're still not used to the school" Minho said to the taller guy who had been bumping into people as he walked. It had been 2 weeks since he attended the school but the only person he knew was Minho and another student who had been introduced to him by Minho. It seemed like all the person he knew would be from Minho.

"No, I'm just looking fo--" he almost busted out what he was doing. He quickly nodded to cover it up. "Yeah, it's hard to walk around without bumping into people" he faked a laugh and they continued walking down the hallway before the both of them went to their own respective classes. "Hey" Hyunjin said to the male student who was sitting beside his chair. "Do you know where that person is?" His seatmate raised an eyebrow. "What person?"

"Never mind" Hyunjin said while sighing before sitting on his seat. People must think I'm weird...I'm not even close with him. Yet, he was searching for the other person after messing with him in this past 2 weeks.

'Messing with'? That word should be insufficient to what he had done. It should be harassing Jisung. On the first day he came, he had stole Jisung's book that was supposed to be sent to the teacher and returned it shamelessly at the end of the day. "I borrowed it for revision" and left without saying anything.

On the second day, he was supposed to hand out some question paper to his classmates and took the extra papers for himself. He didn't even give one to Jisung. "I must have forgotten" he simply said to the teacher and Jisung.

On the third day, he spilled milk on Jisung's track suit. "Sorry, I wasn't walking straight" He thought Jisung wouldn't wear the track suit during PE but he did. The smell of milk was too pungent that the PE teacher had to shoo him away. "Change into your school uniform" and he was excused to sit at the corner of the gym while some kids laughed at his state.

On the fourth day, he had walked out from the student council room without looking and hit Jisung's face who was reaching his hand towards the door knob. "I really wasn't looking!" Hyunjin had said as he crouched down and saw Jisung's bloody nose. "You're bleeding!" Hyunjin said as he handed a tissue. "Let's go to the infirmary", Jisung shook his head. " I'm fine"

"You're not" Hyunjin said as he placed one hand on Jisung's nape and one behind his knees. Jisung widened his eyes once Hyunjin lifted him and carried him to the infirmary while running. "I'm fine"

"You're not" Hyunjin said,Jisung covering his face to hide himself from being embarrassed. How dare he carried a grown man like a bride? And Jisung went through a hell like weeks.

It would be crazy if Hyunjin said he didn't feel anything while doing all of those awful things to Jisung.

"Stand up" Hyunjin pushed himself up once the class representative commanded them. "Bow" he bowed to the teacher and sat down, his focus back to the vacant seat in front of him. "Jisung is still absent?" The teacher said while frowning. "Did anybody hear anything from him?"

Hyunjin was anticipating. He wanted to know whether someone knew where he was. To his dismay, nobody raised their hand. The teacher sighed again. "He didn't even give me any letter about his absence. I couldn't even contact his parents" the teacher mumbled as he went through the student list. For 6 consecutive days, Jisung had been absent. Just another day and it would've been a week.

He raised his head and stared at the students. "Any of you can go to his house today to check him out?" Everybody was avoiding the teacher's eyes. Hyunjin frowned. He was disappointed. Weren't they classmates? Why none of them knew where he was nor why none of them wanted to see him? But Hyunjin was also his classmates yet he didn't know where he was.
