Why So Lonely? || Minsung 1/3 ✔️

4

After first period ends, Minho offers to walk with me to my Arts and Communications class. Regardless of thinking about how much passing time he would have left to get to his own class, I agreed and we walked down a few hallways before reaching it.

"I'll see you around," he says before leaving.

I was happy to be able to have this class. It was more of a free period. Once the teacher gave us our project theme at the beginning of the month, she let us do whatever. Yes, she was there if we had any questions, but other than that, we were able to work by ourselves.

No friends of mine had this class, and I was a bit grateful. I plugged in my headphones and played relaxing music, which was Day6 and The Rose, and grabbed out my stack of paper.

Our theme was fears and insecurities made to overcome or at least be expressed. Since I had quite a bit of fears, I decided to make origami.

I had hot glued two wooden rings together into a laid down criss-cross shape. With that, I tied different colored strings to it. I would make origami acorns and tie them as a chandelier of fears.

We could've honestly done anything we wanted with this project. But origami pulled me into a different artistic path, and I'm glad I chose it.

Art soon ended, leaving me to find my way to my psychology class with Changbin. Fun. Not that I didn't like having Changbin there with me, I just didn't like psychology as much as I thought I would.

"What's up, Sung? You look like shit," the older laughs, making me roll my eyes.

"You can't say anything. I only look like this because I'm tired. You're stuck with... whatever that is," I point and laugh while ducking away from his slaps.

"But seriously, are you okay? You seem really off today. Did your fish die? Oh my gosh, wait, you found yourself a girlfriend but she realized you're actually gay!" he exclaims, making me hit him in the back of the head.

"Shut up, dipshit," I say, not telling him that, that had actually happened a few years ago.

I dated a girl named Choi Jisu. Lovely girl. Too bad she had noticed something about me that I hadn't even noticed, and then proceeded to dump me. What a shame.

"What? I'm just saying. It could happen to anyone," he shrugs, not really caring or noticing that I hadn't answered if I was okay or not.

To be honest, I wasn't sure how I was feeling in that moment. I was still sad as ever, trying to push those bad feelings away even though they had broken out in first period. But the fact that Minho and I's friendship bloomed into something really made me happy. I'm sure those feelings wouldn't last, knowing that they never really did with the friends I had. Everyone always found someone better. It was just something that I couldn't control.
