Even If It's Only For A Short Period Of Time (JaeSeong)

Jaeyoon POV:

"So, you're Hwiyoung right?~"

"Yeah." Hwiyoung flatly said.

"Is it alright if I sit next to you?"

"Yeah." Hwiyoung once again flatly said.

"So, do you like this class?" I said sweetly while rhythmically hitting my hands against my legs.

"Yeah." Hwiyoung ONCE AGAIN flatly said.

"Can you say any other word but 'yeah'?" I said trying not to sound annoyed.

"Yeah." Hwiyoung....said AGAIN...flatly.

"nOW LISTEN HERE YOU DISRESPECTFUL PEICE OF-"

"Jaeyoon!" Mr.Luhan shouted my name in anger, and I didn't understand why until I realized that I just yelled that in the middle of class in front of everybody......

I'm mortified.

I looked at Youngbin for help and all he did was give me a look of 'you dun fucked up bro'.

I looked at Zuho for guidance on how to deal with this, but all he had on his face was look of terror and pity as all he can think about right now is the massive mistake I just made.

Mr.Luhan's stern voice brought me back to reality but not in a pleasant way.

"Jaeyoon, if you and Hwiyoung are having an issue then go outside and sort them out."

"I think everything is fine now Mr.Lu-"

"That was an order not a request."

I turn back at Hwiyoung, still feeling Mr.Luhan's eyes burn into the back of my head, then I say:

"Hwiyoung, let's go sort out our issue outside. Is that alright?"

"Yeah." Hwiyoung flatly said.

"*deep breath* Then lets go out and talk."

I can't believe the NERVE of this kid.

Hwiyoung and I go out of the class room and I once again try to initiate a conversation with him.

"Hwiyoung, do you enjoy annoying people?"

"Yeah." He said with a slight chuckle in his voice.

"Do you like annoying me?"

"Yeah." He said a little unsure of himself.

HwiYoung's body was tense and tried to touch his shoulder to help him relax but he scurried farther away from me, avoiding me touch.

"Hwiyoung, there is no need to be so couscous of me, I'm not going to hurt you. You know that right?"

Hwiyoung stayed silent, but his body said it all.

He moved closer to me again, and he was trying to relax a bit, but doubt and confusing was all over his face as he did this.

"Hwiyoung.." I said softly.

"Yeah?" Hwiyoung said confused as he tilted his head to the side like a puppy.

"Do you want to be friends?" I said softly again unsure if this is the right choice.

I want to be friends with Hwiyoung, I don't know why. Maybe I like being friends with difficult people, I mean I am friends with Youngbin. But there is something more than just him being difficult to him, there is something scared and skittish to him, and want to find out what that is and help him.

"Yeah...." Hwiyoung had a crack in his voice when his said that. His one singular word lingering in the air as I try to find a good way to find out more about him.

"Hwiyoung, you seem so preserved, did someone betray you and that's why you're so hesitant to open up and be friends with people?"

After I said that I know I got him spot on, I read him like an open book.

"Maybe..." Hwiyoung said softly.

"OH MY GOD, YOU CAN SAY MORE THAN ONE WORD??!?!" I jokingly said.

Hwiyoung chuckled, softening his expression and relaxed his body a bit.

"Yeah....maybe a I can." Hwiyoung said a little more cheerful with a slight smile on his face.

"Hey Hwiyoung, this is kinda random but would you- "

Before I could finish my sentence, me and Hwiyoung were startled by a giant man dragging another man behind him as he sprint thought he hall as fast as he could.

Neither me or Hwiyoung could see either one of the man's faces because of how fast the giant man was running.

Hwiyoung looked back at me a little shaken and asked: "W-what were you going to say?"

Hwiyoung was clearly shaken deeply by the men running through the halls. His body was rigid and stiff once again, and was a little shaky.

I put a hand on his back softly and rubbed his back up and down to try and soothe him.

Hwiyoung has clearly had something bad happen to him if he's this shaken up by someone running through the hall unexpectedly.

"I was going to ask if you wanted to go to a restaurant with me, two of my friends, and some new people that we want to get to know better."

Hwiyoung had a scared look in his eyes when I said 'new people'.

A put an arm around him and had him lean on me as I said: "It's alright Hwi, I'll be with you the whole time. I promise nothing bad will happen to you while you're out with me."

HwiYoung's  body relaxed a bit when I said that. All he said after was: "Promise?"

"I promise Hwi."

And before we knew it-

*RING RING RING*

The first class of the day was already over.

I looked over at Hwiyoung and said: "Meet me at the front of the school after all the classes have ended. I'll walk with you to meet up with me friends and few others." I said softly and smiled.

"Okay." Hwiyoung said then nodded.

Hwiyoung and I shared a quick hug and then parted ways as I went to go meet up with Zuho and Youngbin.

I wonder what happened to Hwiyoung to make him this way.
