Sehun POV
Promotion from a student of high school to a college freshman had been a lengthy process. But a freshman to sophomore happened in no time. At times I forgot responding to someone calling me 'sunbae'. *I gotta come out of the 'newbie' spirit.* Jongin and I were in different major and in different college. Since that was my first time being alone, I was nervous around people at first. So I put on a cold face and isolated from others. As I was handsome (not to brag) and cold, students started to admire me. I was placed second in the 'hot males of university'. The first was a senior from film and theatre major, named Junmyeon, only son of my division chair, Mrs. Kim. He was the first person in my college I opened myself to. We met exactly an year ago. I could remember the incident.
I was waiting outside my division chair's cabin to submit my assignment. Suddenly, he stormed out of the cabin with a bewildered look. He held my hands and looked deep into my eyes. "Can you help me... I...I ...I mean can you help my mom." he stuttered. I was panicked and asked him to detail me so that I could help him. He grabbed my hands and pulled me inside the cabin. I shocked to find Mrs. Kim collapsed on the floor and struggling to breathe.
"I already called 911, they will be here anytime soon. She needs fresh air as for now. I shall lift her, can you empty her table? We can make her lie on the table," he said. I did as per his instruction and also wide opened the window screens to let in more air. As we were fanning for her with some thin books we found on the book shelf, ambulance arrived. He asked me to come with him to the hospital, I followed him.
Once we reached the hospital, I volunteered myself to do the papers so that he could stay with his mother. The tests were done and Mrs. Kim was shifted to the hospital's inpatient bed.
I was standing outside the room. After everything got settled, Junmyeon came out of the room. He thanked me and asked my name. I introduced myself as Sehun, a freshman from fashion technology department. He hugged me to thank again. " Our family owe you", he wiped his sweat. I managed to ask him what exactly happened to Miss. Kim. He replied, "My mom is allergic to fish oil. She ignorantly had some dish made of fish oil for lunch. But she found out after few bites. So she called me to aid her. Before I could arrive, she collapsed on the floor."

I pursed my lips and starred at his eyes. He escaped an awkward smile, "she will be alright in a day or two."
"Ndayanghi dha" (I am relieved) I sighed.

"Ah! Sehun-ssi, I need to fetch some basic stuffs for mom from my home. So I shall drop you at the university. We reside at university quarters, you know. Are you fine with that?" he asked. I agreed but sooner I realised that if we both left, then Mrs. Kim would be alone. " Geulonde (but) Junmyeon sunbae, Mrs. Kim would be alone if we both leave. Why can't we call your father?" I asked him with the humblest tone I had.
" My dad is out of the city for business. I gotta manage alone. Don't worry" he paused a bit and continued with a smile, "address me as hyung not sunbae, arassoyo?
I nodded, " then you too drop the honorifics and call me 'Sehun'... Hyung".
"Geolae, Sehun- ah" he ruffled my hair.
"Then hyung, I stay here with Mrs. Kim. You get the stuffs you need. But make sure to come before 9 pm. My hostel curfew is at 10 pm." I winked.
"Sounds like a plan, Sehunah. Take care of my mom. I'll be back asap. Thank you a lot." he rushed to the lift. I went in to the room of Mrs. Kim to check on her. She was in deep sleep.

Junmyeon came early than expected. He had bought some sandwiches and coffee for me. I had them without any hesitation as I was hungry. I left the hospital.

That incident favoured me to become a favorite student for Mrs. Kim and gain a friend, Junmyeon hyung.

Phone beeped. I checked the messages and it was from Junmyeon hyung. He wanted to meet me at the Cafe Universe we frequent. I put my phone in my pocket and started walking towards the cafe.
