FAKE & TRUE.

Chapter 1: Life full of difference.

⤻ YANG JEONGIN.

The raven haired boy gazed out the classroom window, the soccer team seems to be working hard for the sports festival. "H-Hyunjin!" Jeongin snaps his gaze away from the window, instead to the table beside his, he sees a girl shyly standing in front of the table. He watches the owner of the name lift his head from the table, eyes swollen from sleep. "What." The male grumbles, making the girl shift from feet to feet, she's unsure. "W-Wo-Would you like to go on a date with me this Saturday?" Jeongin pretends to scribble in his sketchbook, he's engrossed in this conversation, he wants to know what happens next, it keeps him on edge.

It sounds silly, but this is how his lifestyle is. He has no friends because of how people are afraid to approach him, as an alternative to that, other people's drama or words keep him entertained. He listens well, they just don't notice him to see that. He feels like a shadow, the amount of times people have bumped into him because they had entirely forgotten his presence were too much to count. This is him.

"No." The word rolls off the brunette's tongue bitterly, the girl's lips tremble. She nods, staggering to the doorway where her friends were, already comforting their friend from the brutal rejection.

Hyunjin went back to sleep, Mr. Jung entered the class and Jeongin was already clicking his pen.

"Hey, did you know Yoon Eunkyung got rejected by Hwang Hyunjin today?" Jeongin takes out one earbud, and lowers the volume of the music. "Eh?! She told me Hyunjin just told her he would think about it?" Jeongin wants to scream 'Liar! I saw her get rejected' as he was part of the conversation. "She woke him up from his sleep, and he simply told her no. Talk about harsh." Jeongin thought his train ride back home would be the same, boring and gloomy. "Doesn't everyone know to not wake the Hwang Hyunjin up from sleep? That boy loves sleep more than females." Jeongin did not know that.

"I'm home." Jeongin announces, immediately greeted by his younger brother, who engulfs him into a big warm hug. "Welcome home dear, your little brother baked pizza for dinner tonight!" His mother, warm and vibrant announces with a big fond smile. "Sounds delicious. I'll wash up first, is Jeongbin eating with us tonight?" He mentions his older brother, chuckling when Jeongyoon shook his head with a pout.

His life at home was different. He was always smiling and chatting, his two brothers always accompanied him. His parents were his biggest role models and he had never found place like home.

Eat dinner at home more often, Jeongyoon and I miss you.

He throws his phone on his bed after sending the texts, joining his family at the dining table, the smell of freshly baked pizza lures him.
