Never Ending Story 《Seungjin FF》

{15}

The winter break seemed to pass by very fast for Seungmin. As for Hyunjin, it was very long. The new year had started and Seungmin and his friends were already in grade twelve. Their last year.

The first day of school and Hyunjin carried a long face. Seungmin in the other hand was however, smiling wider, laughing harder and at stupid lame things. But no one saw the pain behind that, Seungmin himself laughed this way so that he forgets about his dream that he had left, which were still bugging him behind his head. Hyunjin didn't realise this because he alone had a problem. At this point, both best friends were at a really bad mental state. Seungmin didn't want to pour out his feelings to Hyunjin nor Woojin who was clueless about this while thing, because Hyunjin was going through his own problem. He didn't want to be a burden.

The whole group was silent but Changbin was bugging Hyunjin asking him to tell him what had happened because the usual friendly, caring Hyunjin was not there anymore. Seungmin was stealing glances at Hyunjin after every bite of his food because the older had not even touched his food. When Felix finally spoke up, he knew about Hyunjin's grandmother. "Now guys let him have some space. He will tell you when the time comes." Seungmin agreed.

"But Jinnie keeping your feelings with yourself is not good." Woojin said concern evident in his voice. Hyunjin finally looked up and hesitated for a second. "My grandmother is in a critical stage of cancer. She can die at any time. I'm just...scared what if she dies when I'm at school and I get the news later just like last time. I'm scared when she passes away I won't be by your side." Hyunjin said. Unnoticed by Hyunjin himself tears had started slipping out of his eyes. Last time his another grandmother had died, he had gotten the news only later. Like after three freaking days he knew that his own grandmother had died. And now his next grandmother was also at her critical stage.

Everyone was huddling at Hyunjin trying to comfort him. Seungmin stayed fixed at his place. He didn't want to cry. He always cried if he looked at someone's crying eyes. Even if nothing sad had happened to Seungmin, but if he sees someone crying Infront of him, his eyes fill with tears. But this time something was different. It wasn't just someone who was crying, it was his crush and he also had felt what it feels like to lose you beloved grandparent. His eyes were filled with tears that were threatening to fall but he was strong, he wouldn't cry...right?

After forty seconds straight, Seungmin gathered his courage and went to Hyunjin. He wiped his cheeks with his index finger and thank God no was paying that much attention that helped him from further embarrassment. "Now don't cry. You are strong." Seungmin whispered.

Hyunjin was still snobbing but soon calmed down. "I'm just...scared...I don't think so I'm myself anymore guys. It's that, I don't think so I can laugh and fool around with you like I used to anymore." Hyunjin said with shaky voice. Seungmin sighed, "I know you're having a hard time. But... You can get over this soon. Everything needs time. You need time to heal Hyunjin. Just gather up your courage." He said. Hyunjin smiled. A shy smile, because he was ashamed of being like a big baby when he was the oldest by month. March baby.

The last sentence was said in English and was in Aussie accent because Seungmin was working hard to master that. Felix's eyes widened. "Did I just hear Aussie Mate from 'stralia??" Felix yelled. Seungmin gave him a 'Lets talk about it later' look. "Hold up in a minute, we're missing the main point here. Our maknae is giving such a mature advice. I'm proud of you!" Woojin said, clapping both if his hands like a seal. Wait, wasn't he the second eldest by month? Everyone burst out laughing. This time, don't worry about Hyunjin. He was laughing like usual. He was back.

Art class was fun. The teacher had again forgotten he had class with the twelve graders. It was not a surprise fir the students too, since he was a forgetful teacher. No one bothered to go and call him too. Half if the students were outside if the class or inside .And the art room was in a separate building at the top floor. So there was no chance of running into another teacher. The class was going wild.

Seungmin's group were outside. Hyunjin and Felix where streching their legs, to see who is more flexible. Seungmin was staring at Hyunjin and Woojin was giving him a teasing smile. Seungmin didn't even see Woojin at this point. But God was Hyunjin's long legs more stretchable. When Felix actually took a break.

"Oy, mate! So the thing at lunch. Your accent?" He asked Seungmin. These two whenever were in private spoke in English because Seungmin was the only good English speaker there in there batch of friends. Seungmin smiled. "I'm trying for a scholarship in Australia." Felix was confused. Felix had came to Korea so that he could also be an idol. And he was determined to debute in the same group as Seungmin. "But what about our dream?" He asked. "I'm thinking of giving up but I guess imma try in Aus because my parents won't be there to stop me if I get into it. But don't tell others that I'm going out there. If I don't get a scholarship it will be like I'm bringing their hopes up and smashing it." Seungmin said. "But are you sure?" Felix asked. Seungmin nodded. " Then you're going to love it out there!" Felix said cheerfully.

They were interrupted when Hyunjin called for Seungmin. "Spread your legs for me." He demanded. Seungmin was stunned. His face turned into a deep shade of red. Woojin looked at the oblivious Hyunjin with wide eyes. "I'm going to inside you." Hyunjin said. It did make sense. Seungmin was to stand with parted legs and Hyunjin would stretch and one of his stretched leg would be in-between Seungmin's parted legs. Many idols did this. But the way he said it was...

Hyunjin's eyes widened and he covered his mouth with his hands. His cheeks started flushing a little. "I didn't mean it-" Seungmin cut him off, "yeah I get it." Seungmin was trying to get over this as soon as possible. He was trying to suppress his laugh while he looked at Hyunjin's priceless face. But this resulted a grin on Seungmin's flushed cheeks.

->->->->->

Hyunjin always bought snacks for his friends, Changbin and Felix who walked with him till his bus station. Infact it was. His habit to take care if his friends by treating them everyday. Sometimes if Hyunjin had forgotten his money or if he had spent it, he would apologize to his friends. It wasn't like they demanded it to him anyways too. So this was Hyunjin.  He had a big heart. This time Hyunjin asked Seungmin if he wanted to have some snacks. But Seungmin shook his head. Since 2018, that was the year before last year, Seungmin had stopped having those after school snacks from Hyunjin.

Hyunjin's habit of buying snacks for his dearest friends was set up because of Seungmin anyways. Hyunjin just looked at Seungmin for a second and nodded.

Just when Seungmin was going to part his ways, Hyunjin called his name. Seungmin turned around and saw the three friends waving at him. Seungmin waved back but out of no where Hyunjin made a call sign and mouthed a 'i'll call you.' Seungmin nodded and quickly headed away. He didn't want to face more embarrassment because people were staring at them.

Hyunjin was immature for his age. He was talented, good looking. He even was childish at some point but...

He was cheesy without he himself knowing it too.
