One mistake, Darling 〈stray kids〉Hyunsung» Hyunjin x Jisung

-30-

There were so many people in the Assembly Hall it made me feel anxious. I lost had lost Minho and Jeongin a while ago, so I was all by my own trying to get to one of the first rows. The director hadn't started his speech yet, due to this everyone was speaking and my friends wouldn't have heard me even if I had screamed. I kept trying to pass through the crowd but I was too small and none noticed me. I tries to push them with my elbows and I received a lot of bad stares. At one point I started to suffocate and just wanted to get out of there. Luckily I saw Minho's back and ran to him as I could while my breath was getting worse.

As I was approaching I noticed that he seemed taller, anyway I didn't have time to think about it and just took his hand. As soon as I did that I started to feel how my breath got back to normal. I hold it tighter because it kept me on earth. Not just he looked taller, but his hand also felt bigger and softer. Its touch was so comfortable I didn't want to let go off him. Minho felt different, yet I liked that change.

And of course he must have felt different, he wasn't Minho, I didn't discover it until he turned to me and made me look deeply into his eyes. It was my first time seeing that overwhelming handsomeness from so close. At that time I didn't it wasn't going to be my last time seeing him, therefore I used every single second to save his facial features in my memory.

“Are you okay? You look so pale”. He approached his hand to my forehead and lifted up my bangs to see if I had fever. I believe I instantly recovered all the blood in my cheeks. “It must be something bad, you're having so many temperature changes, it can't be anything good. Changbin, I'll carry him to the nurse's office”.

He made me pass my arm over his shoulders and surrounded my waist with the hand left. Sure I needed some medicine, but it was already next to me. It was easier this time. That boy was tall enough to be notified and we didn't have any problem to leave the Assembly Hall.

On our way I couldn't take my eyes off him. I was used to see Minho, who was stupid, but handsome, but I wasn't used to see that beauty, that delicate beauty. Minho had a mole on his nose, when that boy had one under his eye. And it looked absolutely perfect, like it had been put there on purpose to make him even more beautiful.

People would say that boys ain't beautiful, but handsome. No, he was absolutely beautiful, that kind of beauty which you can only find in paintings.

We arrived at the nurse's office, but there wasn't anyone. The fact that we were there alone made my heart run like crazy. He didn't let go of me and led me to one of the three stretchers.

Without any word he left me softly on the stretcher and started to walk outside the place.

“Are you going to leave me alone?” I asked unexpectedly. I didn't pretend to, those words just came out of my mouth without permission.

“Yes, why? Are you scared of being alone?”.

“Yes, I am”. I had recovered my breath, but my voice was weak still. “I hate being in a crowd because everyone look at me, but I hate more being alone. It's sad having none. Please remain by my side until the speech is over”. I was playing with my fingers on my lap. I wasn't lying, it was so bad for me having none by my said. I've been before surrounded by lots of people, but Minho or Jeongin were by my side, that's why I almost passed.

He looked once again the door, sighted and ended up sitting on the stretcher next to mine.

“What's your name? The speech will last and I'm not going to be in a room with a stranger”.

“My name's Jisung, and you?”, I felt like a child making friends, it was so stupid.

“I'm Hyunjin, are you new? I've never seen your face before”.

“That's probably because none pays attention to me. Anyway you don't look like a new student, but I haven't seen you before either, can I ask if you're new?”.

“I took a year off this school to attend one in Ireland, I've probably changed a bit since then, but I've been studying here for over six years”.

Well, I had never noticed him before. It was a bit awkward, we had nothing to talk about. But I didn't want to tell him to go because, appart I that I didn't want to be alone, somehow I liked his presence. I didn't felt judged, he just seemed to not care at all about his surrounding.

“Was it good studying abroad? I mean, I would never be able to because I'm from a somehow poor family, but it would be interesting to know”, I started to talk to much looking for excuses.

“I guess it was, I got to visit some amazing places. I was able to visit a countryside covered all in green. It's impossible to find one like that in Seoul”, I wanted to look to another place, but my eyes were fixed to him. He then moved his to me and our eyes met.

“Wow, I wish I could visit Ireland at least once. Do you have pictures?”.

He nodded and took out his phone. I waited a few seconds and he showed me a picture. But I couldn't see more than a blurry green spot.

“Sorry, can you come nearer? I ain't wearing my glasses”, after, I noticed that it looked like I wanted to be closer to him instead of being just see the photo.

He bit his lips. Yes, I had fallen for him already, but I didn't notice until later. He told me to move to the opposite side and I did that to le him enough space to sit next to me.

“Oh, now I can see it clearly, can I zoom it?”.

“Yes, sure”, he held me his phone. I took it, our fingers almost touching each other.

“It looks so clean, like I place you could go and breathe fresh air, do you know somewhere near like this?”.

“I think the Seonyudo Park is the most similar place”.

“I've heard of it, but I haven't visited it yet, have you?”.

“Me neither”. He remained in silence. I deduced it was his way of ending a conversation. I kept passing photos to entertain myself. Ireland was truly beautiful, I had never thought about visiting it, but then I wanted to. “Well, I'm probably going soon to that park, would you be interested in going with me?”.

Do I need to say what happened next?
