Strange Being | 2park

Chapter 4

Days pass and Jihoon manages to rid Woojin from his mind. However, whenever he passes the hall, his eyes somehow land on Woojin if he's in the area. He won't lie. Woojin is still in the crook of his thoughts from time to time.

Woojin is strange to Jihoon. Almost intriguing in a way.

Woojin who happens to seem like a complete challenge.

Jihoon could respect a good challenge.

Most seem too easy, Jihoon solving the entirety of a person in a swing of his fingertips. Woojin, however, is an enigma. No matter how hard he tries or how much he gets frustrated, Jihoon can never quite pinpoint a place for Woojin. It's what makes him so different from the rest.

So, here he was now, carrying a large stack of papers towards the stairs as he struggled to balance the weight carefully. As he's walking, he suddenly hears some noise.

"Ah! We need to head out now! But we still haven't brought these boxes to Mrs. Son..." Jihoon turns his head as he hears two girls panic.

"If you'd like, I could take it for you?" Jihoon says as he smiles at the pair. The two girls look at each other before staring back at Jihoon.

"Really?! That would be great!" The taller one blurts as she sends Jihoon a lopsided smile and slowly brings her box towards the floor. The two quickly bowed down and send out slurs of "thank you"s before making their way towards the nearest exit. He hears as the two softly mumble to one another.

"Who was that?"

"You don't know Jihoon?! He's literally the sweetest boy in our school! Jihoon-oppa is also really cute, isn't he?~"

"Okay~ Okay~ I'll admit, he is quite cute."

Checkmate.

Jihoon looks down at the set of packages. He lets out a sigh as he places his papers down, kicking the boxes closer to one another before stacking them all up upon each other. He rolls up his selves before using all of his strength to carry the load.

"A-Ah... This is a lot..." Jihoon mumbles to himself. He could barely see in front of him due to the height of the whole stack. Jihoon manages as much as he can before making his way towards the stairs. All goes smoothly before it doesn't. Before he knew it, Jihoon had took an extra step where there wasn't a step to steady him, forcing him to stumble and drop the papers and boxes.

He manages to catch himself before he falls, however, the luggage didn't make it out in he same condition Jihoon did.

"Fuck." Jihoon murmured as he pushed himself off the ground, dusting himself off before throwing his head back as he let out a groan, kneeling down as he began picking up the papers. As Jihoon is collecting the papers, he sees a pair of shoes in front of him. He follows the body up only to see no one other than Park Woojin.

"What do you want?"

Woojin stays silent.

"I thought you said you wanted nothing to do with me? What's your purpose here? To mock me?" Jihoon speaks softly. His eyes stare into Woojin's, Jihoon's expression stays blank as he watches as Woojin bends down and swiftly grab the rest of the papers into one area.

"Y-Yah... What are you doing? This is my job." Woojin makes eye contact with Jihoon before he looks away. Jihoon simply sits there in slight wonder and confusion as Woojin cleans up the pile before placing it on the smaller box, then proceeding to place that upon the largest box. For some reason, Jihoon finds himself unable to move as Woojin begins walking away with all the items meant to be delivered. It takes him approximately ten seconds for the shock to enter his brain before he stands up and rushes towards Woojin.
