"—why do you avoid love?"
"Classes should have been suspended today," Donghyuck grumbled as he looked outside, I only nodded and turned around to get my phone and earphones, "hey, can I listen too?" He asked moving his chair a little closer to me, I haven't even replied yet, he already took it, "yes, of course you're willing to share with me, right?"
I just sigh and let him be, "whatever, I guess we'll get to know each other more when we get to know their taste in music," I shrugged and he grinned
"Hurry up and play something," he obligated
I rolled my eyes and look at my songs, it was full of punk and mostly acoustic music, all of the songs were from bands like All time low, mayday parade, sleeping with sirens and so on, "I don't think you'd like my taste in music," I mumbled
He grinned, "it's okay, I wanted to know you anyway,"
And with that, I pressed a certain song, it was Terrible things of Mayday Parade, "What is its title?" He asked
"Terrible things," I simply replied, "close your eyes and just analyze and appreciate the song, because it's actually beautiful," and so he did, and afterwards, I closed my eyes, the sound of the rain tapping against the window adds to the music, which actually made me feel away from everyone, and that's exactly what I want
As the song was about to end, I opened my eyes just to see Donghyuck, still has his eyes closed, I looked around just to spot Jeno, casually laughing at Jaemin along with a few guys on the other side of the room, the Chinese boy was not there, he probably was absent since he already missed first period—it's not like our prof would know, Lee Taeyong, our new and already stressed prof is really not going to come anyway so he's good
"Well that was sad," Donghyuck said, "He was warning his son about love right?" He asked and I nodded, "But why would he?" He asked again
"What do you mean?"
"Why would he want his son to avoid love?" He asked, "it's selfish to be honest—even if you say that it would hurt you, why would you want someone to avoid loving and being loved?" I looked at him, he was serious this time,
"I don't know, it might have hurt a ton I guess?" I replied, waiting for him to contract my answer, because it was amusing to hear him being all serious and all
"But You wouldn't know you loved someone when you didn't felt any pain right?" I was shocked, he was right, "but the song is really beautiful, I love how he told him how wonderful love can be, and how beautiful loving can be,"
I nodded, "words of wisdom from Lee Donghyuck," I joked and he laughed
"Don't you have any, happy song?" He asked, "I don't want to feel sad all day long, (name)," He laughed
