Chapter 8: I don't really plan on going back

Lee Chan lost time in the boarding school. Two months with no contact from everyone had already passed and now he's grown costumed to how the Boarding school works. 

*Wake up at 6 AM

*Take a bath (At least five minutes each person)

*five minutes to fix everything

*Go to class

*Do his home works and study

* Sleep

For the past two months that was his life. No phone, no wifi, no contact from the outside world he forgot even the days. He wouldn't even know the date if it wasn't for the headmaster in forming him that they'll be able to leave the said school for a week. 

Although he doesn't really want to go out. 

Yes, he was miserable inside the school. No friends, no human interactions, no Seungkwan or even minghao--but for some reason he wants it, he thinks he deserves it. For making everyone around him miserable. 

Being in that gloomy, miserable school isn't that bad. He met some people: Seokmin, Minhyung, Donghyuk. Yeah, they're not as fun as being with Seungkwan and Minghao but with them he learned how to be thankful from the smallest of things. 

Seokmin was a thief before, then he was sent to the boarding school, Minhyung and Donghyuk were selling some illegal drugs. 

They were troubled. Just like him

At first he was disgusted by it. By the thought that his three roommates are that troubled, but through time he learned that those three did those illegal stuff to survive. Unlike him. He hurt people because it was fun to hurt people. 

He didn't do it for the sake of anything. 

"Hey Chan, you're not eating that?" Donghyuk asked pointing at the disgusting mashed potato on his silver tray that really looks like a prisoner's tray. 

He nodded, and Donghyuk started munching Chan's food. Minhyung laugh and Seokmin whined about wanting some of the food. 

He looked at them and he can't help but smile. That how he and Seungkwan used to argue back when they were friends.

He really missed Seungkwan and Minghao. 

"You okay?" Minhyung asked and the two stopped bickering looking at him. 

"Yeah" he sighed. 

"You know, you'll get to leave this place tomorrow right? Don't be that sad" Donghyuk said and smiled. 

He can't help but feel scared. 

What if the others haven't forgiven him. Two months isn't that long, after all. 

"You'll lucky you'll leave this poor excuse for a school" Seokmin joked (although he knows Seokmin's not joking. He doesn't have any family and will be staying in the school for the school break, Minhyung and Donghyuk too) 

"My Dad's the King. Want me to take you guys with me?" he offered and he laughed when the three looked at him like lost puppies with sparkling eyes. 

"Yes please" they all said in chorus and he can't help it but throw a fit of laughter. 

&&&

Lunch ended really quick and before they knew it, they were all in their respective class. Seokmin was a grade higher while Minhyung and Donghyuk was a grade lower. They don't have any classes together and only met because they're roommates.
