Enjoy Your Life

Apparently Zhang Yixing is getting dropped out because of his low grade in academics and continuous drawings on the wall despite the school's warning for many times. The news spread like a wildfire. And it reach Sehun's ear just as he step into the class.

Yixing is expelled?

He's leaving?

"Have you heard?"

Yes, he had.

"How do you feel?"

Nothing. Just. . . nothing.

"Are you alright?"

Of course he is.

"I can't believe it. Yixing's getting dropped out."

Yes, he knows. Stop saying it.

"I feel bad for him."

Why so?

"I'm gonna miss his art."

Sehun doesn't.

"I'm gonna miss his pranks."

Sehun really doesn't.

"I'm gonna miss his presence."

Sehun really, really doesn't.

Is what he tries to believe. But when he walks home and find Yixing's figure walking away, his chest twist in a very unpleasant way. His shoulders were slumped down, his arms have blotches of paint, his dirty converse making no sound as he walks away. Yixing looks lifeless for the first time.

And so Sehun finds himself saying, "Yixing."

The said boy stop on his feet, glancing at him with a raised brow. Sehun wants to scream at his face, to tell him how much he wanted that frown gone.

"Is it true? You're getting dropped out?"

"Yes."

Sehun knows that, yet it still pains him. Images of the rest of his highschool year without Yixing calling him his love and without Yixing's murals, those are not what he wants. Those are what he can't stand.

There were so many things he wanted to say, like how sorry he was for being rude, like how he appreciate his art. But the only thing that he managed to blurted out was, "You painted the wall with all you murals back into white except one. The one where you painted my eyes." He inhales deeply, "Why?"

Instead of getting a reply, Yixing smiles at him. A genuine smile, a smile that is specifically for him after days of being ignored by the older. Sehun should be happy, this is what he wants, yet it made the twisting feeling inside him pains him even more.

"Enjoy your life, Oh Sehun."

And then he left.
