It wasn't like he expected a 'thank you' or anything, but Donghyun is quite taken aback when the person in his embrace yesterday completely ignored his presence when he tried to say 'hi' during their passing period.
He doesn't know if Yoomi just didn't see him or she didn't know if it was him she was hugging yesterday, but the frown on his face definitely deepens when Yoomi never even bothered to look in his direction.
They are only strangers, yet somewhere in his heart aches without any reason at all.
Donghyun standing in the middle of the hallway earns him stares from his classmates. It is then when he realizes that they were completely opposite.
While Yoomi is popular among the crowd, Donghyun is the least liked by the school for how cold he is. Yes, he does have a few friends, but that's it. He was never keen to making new friends as he's the one who always feels betrayed at the end. Also, according to his classmates, he is unfriendly and unapproachable, which is untrue since they never even tried to talk to and understand him, making it harder for himself.
He is the ice prince.
They are both different in their own ways, but they are similar for they are always feel lonely, and Donghyun notices that.
After school, Donghyun doesn't care if people are giving him weird looks. He runs to Yoomi's locker, panting as he reaches for her shoulder.
The shocked Yoomi turns around and sees a sweaty Donghyun.
"I don't know if you recognize me, but I was the one you hugged yesterday. And this might sound weird, but I want us to be friends. Let's be friends, Lee Yoomi."
