This time it is different

"Hello, my name in Kang Dongho. Some might know me and one of them will never be able to forget me. Please take care of me."
He bowed and stared at Sewoon.

Sewoon stared at his desk and hold onto Gwanghyun as if his life depended on holding his friend's hand. "Sewoonie? Are you okay?", his friend whispered, worried for obvious reasons.

"Your face is so pale, it's not even real anymore. You want to leave to the nurse?" The older boy simply shook his head but kept holding his friend's hand. "Just don't leave me today, please.", the boy requested. "Please, I am begging you, don't leave me today."

Gwanghyun's eyes widened a little but he nodded nevertheless. He could sense that his friend needed him right now and any question would only scare him.

"We won't leave you, I promise."

Keeping an eye on the transfer student Gwanghyun patted his Hyung's back. "We got your back, Hyung."

-Gwanghyun's point of view-

Something was wrong with Sewoon-hyung, I was sure of that. During the entire lesson he did not listen to Mr. Hwang at all. He simply stared out of the window while holding onto my hand, which he never did.

I looked at the new student, Kang Dongho. Who was he and why did his presence scare Sewoon-hyung that much? Hyung wasn't someone who showed his feelings openly. So why was the fear for Kang Dongho so evident on his face? It's not that I would judge Hyung, but since I have known him it had always been difficult to read his emotions, and for the first time I wished it would be like this today as well.

Taking my phone out of my pocket in secret I sent a message to Euiwoong and Hyunbin. "Guys, Sewoon-hyung asked me not to leave him today. I got no idea who this Dongho guy is, but he is scaring Hyung. It's way worse than when the other boys from Busan transferred. We need to protect him this time!"

When both looked at me and nodded I knew they had read my text message. Hyung wouldn't need to worry, because we were there to protect him.

-End of point of view-

Sewoon tried to avoid any eye-contact between him and Dongho. He was simply too scared to look at the older boy again. The memories of his last night in Busan were still alive in his mind.

The reason why he had decided to run away and find Minhyun, how could he ever forget about it?

During the entire class Sewoon did not listen to Mr. Hwang at all. All he did was holding onto Gwanghyun's hand and looking outside of the window, thinking about Busan and Howon.

The boy just wanted to get his guitar and run home. And maybe lock himself behind his doors, so he could cry, scream and let out the pain he was feeling inside.

Oh how much he hated himself at the moment.

It had been almost easy to act in front of the most important people but acting in front of Dongho almost seemed impossible for him.

And he hated himself for that.

What would Howon think about him, if he was watching?

Not being aware of it a tears made its way along the boy's face.

"Howon-hyung. He found me. Just like Jaehwannie, Youngminnie and Donghyunnie, Dongho found me. Was I meant to be found again? If yes, why didn't you tell me to hide again? If you are watching, why aren't you helping me?"

Sending out his thoughts to heaven Sewoon bit his lower lip.

He felt helpless again, just like during his last night in Busan.
