HYYH The Notes Chronologically

Seokjin, 12 July, Year 20

As I stood at the entrance of the school, the sound of cicadas was stinging. The sports field was buzzing with children smiling, joking around and running around competitively. The beginning of the summer holidays everyone was terrifically buoyant. In the midst of them, I bowed my head and stepped past. I wanted to slink out of school quickly.

"Jin." Someone's shadow appeared. With a jump, I lifted my head. It was Hoseok and Jimin. Like always, shining their big and pure smiles and watching me with their mischievous, young eyes.

"It's holidays today, and you're just going to leave" Hoseok spoke, dragging my arm. I agreed, saying a couple of meaningless phrases before turning my head back.

What had happened that day was definitely an accident. It had not been planned. I had not thought at that time in the storage classroom, Jungkook and Yoongi would be there. The principal had a suspicion that I was defending my friends. He said that he could tell my father that I wasn't a good student, I had let my father down. I had to say something. I spoke of that hideout because I thought it would be empty. But Yoongi had gotten expelled. Nobody knew that I was involved.

"Spend your holidays well, Jin! I'll call you." However, he noticed my ignorance, Hoseok furtively let go of my hand and said goodbye even more brightly. This time, too, I was not able to respond in any way. There was nothing I could say. As I came to the school gates, I remembered the first say at this school. We were late and were all punished together. And so, we were able to laugh.

I ruined those times.
