I woke up the next morning with a enormous smile that was all over my face, there was nothing on my chest but joy, i could feel it everywhere. The images of both of us walking down the streets with our fingers locked together, (which curiously only took us a few minutes to be comfortable with) played non stop on my head.

There was one thing for sure: it was one of the best nights of my entire existence, and i was certainly head over heels for Soobin. I sighed, jumping out of the bed, and gathering my phone out of the nightstand in front of me.

I was late for classes, and cursed under my breath as soon as my eyes popped out with surprise by looking at the time on my lock screen.

Before i could even think, my eyes also glimpsed the message that made my heart flutter within seconds.

Soobin: Good morning, Yeonjun-ah
I hope i can treat you like this, by the way :)

I almost fell on the floor with such a sweetness overflowing through the text, how can he? It's 7 o'clock in the morning, for fuck's sake.

Yeonjun: why wouldn't you? of course you can
but i thought you'd give me some pet name too, i'm hurt :(

Soobin: I'm so sorry!!!!
i'll think about something as well,please don't be sad

I shook my head, amused, soon after tapping a reply.

Yeonjun: relax, Binnie! i'm just messing with u
but i still want a pet name tho

i left the phone above the blankets and put on my uniform, rapidly. I rushed over the bathroom and fixed my blue hair, looking straight at the piercings i didn't took off the night before. I shrugged, deciding on going with them for the day, hoping no teachers would notice them. My hair would always catch some attention before my ears does, so i couldn't care less on that.

I sighed, placing my black converse beneath my feet, putting on them. I glanced over my phone, and that hasn't been any text from Soobin since my last message.

 I knitted my eyebrows but shrugged, throwing the IPhone on my trousers' pocket and leaving the room with my backpack strap hanging on my right shoulder.

             ✶✶✶

Of course i was used on being eyed here and there, but to my surprise there was a bunch of people following me with their gazes, more than usual.

I felt uneasy at first but soon relaxed, getting my mind occupied by the memories of the night before, replaying it over and over again, concentrating myself on every detail, trying not to care about the students whispering around me as i passed through the corridors.

I tensed when first arrived at my classroom door, but didn't hesitate on opening it afterwards. The chatter died in a bolt as i entered, and i couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed at their eyes burning on my back as i made my way through the rows of desks to my seat.

Ms.Jun wasn't there yet, which intrigued me, but i wasn't on place to complain about it either, i was late that morning as well. I took out my phone and frowned when there was no sign of Soobin on my notifications.

I looked up only to be greeted with all of my classmates eyes, filled with a feeling i couldn't explain at the time, not leaving my every movements. Of course, the girls must've told them, they wouldn't keep their mouths shut, that was for sure.

I gritted my teeth while remembering the scene of a few days before, but ended up rolling my eyes at them, ignoring it once again, and focusing on my phone screen. I sighed, pushing my hair back with anxiety.

Where is Soobin at a moment like this? He's probably having classes, i assured myself, but i couldn't stop the awful feeling, something felt off.

As if hearing my thoughts, my phone vibrates, and i soon opened our chat only to get my stomach twirled when reading his reply.

Soobin: Yeonjun hyung? 

if you read this, meet me at the rooftop  please

My eyes widened, and i tapped a short "on my way" as running off the class leaving a bunch of whispers and confused glances behind.

I ran over the corridors with a few students on their respective lockers, and i couldn't deny the look on their faces, it wasn't about my ear piercings or anything superficial as this... It was definitely something else.

I climbed up the stairs to the rooftop as fast as i could, panting so hard while i felt the hot sweat spreading itself on my forehead.

But i didn't care, i just kept on thinking about him, his unusual behavior through the messages and the whisperings... It couldn't be just a coincidence. As i walked towards the rooftop door, i was finally able to stop on my tracks, but not for the best of the reasons. 

There was a soft sobbing sound behind it, i only managed to shut my eyes as feeling my chest tightens by knowing it surely has something to do with all of the commotion downstairs.

Not standing that anymore, i broke the trance i was in and abruptly opened the door only to be met with the most heartbreaking scene i could've ever think of, the one i'm incapable to unsee and still haunts me every now and then, to be honest... Every time i close my eyes.

"Soobin?!"
