Avoided•Han Seungwoo

➯Chapter 5

Jinree's POV

Me and Eunsang was walking home from school. Our first day was tiring, A lot happened but im happy. "Hey sis, so how'd you feel on the first day?" Eunsang asked me. "Its very tiring but fun, We made a lot of new friends today. Im soo happy! and the school is soo full of handsome and beautiful faces" I said. "True" He replied.

"You? how'd you feel about first day?" I asked. "I feel good, but also tiring. Its just been one day and girls are everywhere" He said. I laughed at him. "Hey! stop laughing its true! You saw when we entered science? Their glares at you made me want to laugh" He said and smiled. "Thats because you're soo handsome they can't get their eyes of you" I said to him.

Its actually true, my brother was really handsome, specially with his red hair. If I wasn't his sister I would actually like him myself. "wow, you're complimenting me now?" He said. I lightly punched his shoulder and ran home "Hey wait up!" he shouted and I laughed at him while he was catching up with we head home, greeted our parents, and did our night routine.

That night I couldn't sleep peacefully, Something was bugging my mind. Wait, Its not something its someone. Seungwoo.
I don't know why but I feel like I really need to protect him from the hate and stuff. Its not that im saying that I like him or what but I just really feel suddenly attached.
Just then I got a notification, it said I've been added to a group. I opened up the group and saw it was the squad.

Wooseok added Lee Jinree and Lee Eunsang to the group.

Wooseok: Yow, welcome to the chat Lee sibs

After that series of chats, I turned off my phone and went to dreamland.

Next day

"Jinree yah!!!" I woke up to my brother shouting at my face and shaking me. "Shh im awake im awake!!" I said. "Hurry up or you're gonna be late!" He said and left my room. I took a quick shower, changed into my uniform, and did my hair and a bit of make up before I went downstairs.

"Goodmorning everyone!" I greeted everyone in the dining room. A series of Good mornings could also be heard.
"Hey mom, dad! Me and Jin are going to the mall later after school with our new friends" Eunsang said. "Oh okay sure but be home before your curfew okay" Mom said. we both nodded and started eating breakfast.

We walked to school and entered our Science class. We both sat at our assigned seats. I noticed Seungwoo was still not around and class was almost gonna start.
I suddenly felt the Seungwoo's seat move. I looked and saw it was him. "Good morning!" I said "Good morning to you too" He said and smiled at me.

Class started and we didn't have much things to do it was like a free time because our professor didn't come. At recess we were suppose to tour around the school. Though I don't know who would tour us.
"Hey guys" I looked behind and saw Wooseok. "Hello" I said, "You two are suppose to be toured around today right?" He asked, I nodded.

"Seungwoo hyung! you don't mind touring them around don't you? The council is quite busy for an event" Wooseok said. "I don't mind, We could start now if you like" Seungwoo said. "Sure" Eunsang said. "Great! see you three at recess!" Wooseok said and left with Junho to the Student Council Room.

"So come on, lets start with the ground floor" Seungwoo stood up and ushered us to follow him. "So I think you two already know where the Cafeteria, Bathrooms, Principal's room, Guidance Office and Registrar is. That over there is the student council room, or SCR for short. Thats were the council holds meetings and such" He explained and we nodded. "The stairs are all over one staircase for each building." he continued

"The ground floor are really not that important" He added. We went up to the second floor. "So yeah lockers, lockers, lockers, classrooms, faculties" He toured us around until we reached the top floor.

"And this here is the top floor, no one goes here except if a teacher needs someone to get something from the rooms here. Its just used for storage really, since the basement is used to store decorations and other stuff. This is where the Teachers store stuff they dont need in the faculties but might need in the future, each room is for one subject and stuff" The continued telling us stuff while walking around.

We reached the end of the top floor. "Why is this room empty?" Eunsang spoke up. "This place is not really used, This was where I'd spend Recess and lunch or free times at." Seungwoo said. "Why here?" I asked, "Because I was too shy to come to the cafeteria" He said. I feel sad for him, He had to spend free times alone up in this classroom just to save him from embarrasment.

"Anyways, thats just it lets go down now. Recess has probably started already" Seungwoo said and smiles at us before he lead us to the cafeteria to eat with the others. "If you don't mind me asking, How long did you stay up there?" I asked Seungwoo.

"I started staying up there after I came back from my 3 month suspension, Its probably a year already" He said, Sadness clear in his voice. "Its okay, Atleast you're finally getting back to your original state before the rumors right?" I said to him, He smiled at me and nodded.

Seungwoo's POV

Why is it that every time she talks to me I feel really calm? I have never felt like this to any girl before, or maybe its because of the less contact I had with people and for the first time in a year someone new was nice to me.

We went to the table and sat at our respective seats. "Oh you three are here! hows the tour?" Saemi said. "It was great! Seungwoo hyung is a really good tourguide" Eunsang said giving his gummy smile. "Thank you" I said and smiled, I've never smiled this much since the rumors. I think its really time to open up again and ignore the hate.

"Im sorry for disturbing you hyung, It was suppose to be me who would tour them but the council was very busy for the upcoming concert" Wooseok said, Yeah Every year the council is really busy at this time preparing for the yearly concert held by our school. Its just like a talent show where you can do whatever you specialize at.

"There will be a concert?!" Jinree said as her face lit up with joy. "Yeah, The council prepares for a school concert yearly. The performers are also students. Its kinda like a talent show." Hangyul explains "Are you guys gonna perform again?" I asked the rest. "Maybe, Were not really sure." Seungyoun replied.

"Why? you guys didn't perform last year also right?" I asked. I used to also perform with them, I'd love to perform again but the students might not like me being on stage again. "Well, We feel missing without you hyung. Its been our tradition to perform together since the first time" Minhee said. Wow, are they serious? "Wow.." Was all I could say. I really miss the stage.

"We could perform again hyung like old times, Eunsang could join us too if he'd like" Hangyul said. "I'd love to" Eunsang said smiling. "But what would the students think of me on stage? they used to love it, Now they might even start throwing rotten tomatoes at me" I said sadness clear in my voice.

"You know they won't do that, don't mind them and just enjoy performing hyung. Plus Saemi noona will do something about that, right noona?" Dongpyo said and Saemi nodded. "Im still keeping my words that if they dare hurt one of you guys... they know what would happen" Saemi said. Her still being Council president, Students have huge respect towards her.

"You should perform with them, I'd love to see you on stage" Jinree, who was next to me patted my shoulder and smiled at me. I felt soft for her smile. Like all of my problems were suddenly gone. "Okay I will" I said to them and smiled.
