Kim Hongjoong walked through the school's hallway almost puffing out a breath. His eyes scanning here and there, often landing on females or males who were staring at him or sending signs his way. It made him crawl inwardly.  He hated it, he just wanted to leave and go back to bed continue sleeping.

He wasn't in the mood for school. He wasn't in the mood for anything.

Not today.

And the reason to it couldn't get quite asserted. Maybe because he just had one of these bad days in his life. But that didn't stop him, did it? No. He still was here. Making his way up to the art room. His favorite place. His favorite thing.

As he stops grabbing the doorknob and wants to step in someone suddenly stops him in his tracks by calling his name, which didn't please him at all.

"Hongjoong!"

The red-haired male turns around just to face his art teacher as his eyebrows furrow together.  It was normal but he never thought the elderly woman would be that early in the morning there. Usually, teachers came later than students did. That's how it worked at your new school which didn't make sense but people still had to deal with it.

"Mrs.Ahn?"

The female sent a small smile his way which didn't affect the male much and he still had the blank face on.

"I think you need to see this"

The woman unexpectedly fumbled out of her bag which she was holding a paper, which was folded as she pressed it onto the male's chest making him more confused than he already was.

"She resolved it. I personally am proud of her. It turned really good I think you will like it,"

The woman rambled the words out like a fast engine which looked a little bit funny. If someone like you stood next to her they would be laughing. But it was Kim Hongjoong. He never smiled or laughed. There wasn't a soul at the college who ever witnessed his smile or laugh. No one did. And that for years.

"She isn't here today though, I heard she is sick."

And before the red-haired male could ask who? the woman already turned around on before leaving as fast as possible. Kim Hongjoong sighed out loud his eyes glued to the folded paper on his hands. He didn't know how to react or what to do. But first, he decided to step in the certain room which was waiting for him.

So he does he steps in taking his black jacket off before pulling his white shirt's sleeves up and going with his hand through his distinguished, outstanding red hairs. His other hand still holding the certain paper as he looks down taking a deep breath before he moves to his place.

What could possibly be on it? What is so interesting that it amazed Mrs.Ahn? Sitting down he decided to open it before his questions increase.

He feels kind of nervous even though he didn't want to quite show it but right now he was alone so no one would see him would they? So the male groans a little before he opens the paper frustrated.

His heart stopped beating as soon as his eyes meet the image which was engraved on the paper softly yet beautifully. He sharply inhales and he can't believe what he was seeing. What his eyes were seeing.

It was him, himself on it. And what made him shocked was the fact that on the drawing, Kim Hongjoong was smiling. And shockingly it was on point. His smile. It was the exact smile he never showed to somebody.

His eyes widened before the male lets out a breath not knowing how to react. He felt his body shiver all suddenly as he reads the sign which was at the bottom of the picture. And he couldn't acknowledge either believe what prevailed on it as his heart started beating faster. On that intriguing paper was nothing standing more to it than your name written as a sign and the date.
