Since that day some time has passed and the winter break is nearing. Just two days and the students will be free for a month, not needing to show themselves at the school building. Most of the students are happy about it. But SeokJin isn't one of them.

Being aware that he won't have any escape is making his will to live go away. The thought of being stuck for a longer time in the place he badly wants to be out off, is making his mood go down more than it already is. But he can't do anything about it and he plans a lot of walks and days at the library or other places, where he can spend some hours far from home. 

He's sure that this month that he'll spend on the winter break can be worse than previous ones. Year by year it was like that. Every next year his family is more and more hostile, making him balance on the brim of madness. Only his plan for the future and the will to accomplish it holds him back from doing something he could regret. But still moments like that happens. Well, not like anybody cares. 

With a quiet sigh he walks into the school building, as usual going to the classroom as soon as he finishes his locker routine. He has all resources of his project with HoSeok that he was supposed to do with himself and is going to give it to the other boy as they planned. Jung is supposed to connect it with his materials and give the project to the teacher at the next day. After their first meeting they hadn't meet up. They decided that they planned everything enough to work separately, so SeokJin wasn't insisting. And even if he wanted, the older seemed very depressed the very next day after their meeting so his friends were always by his side and SeokJin didn't want to put himself in troubles because of those five who clearly don't like him. Jin wonders what happened. He wanted to support the boy, but as we said, he didn't want to be near the other boys, that seemed to be doing a good job with cheering HoSeok up. 

Today however he has to talk to him, the resources won't fly to him by itself, but if he only could, he would just leave everything at  Jung's desk with a note. Propriety however makes him to behave like an adult person and fight with his fears and anxieties and do it by himself. If he wants to accomplish his plans of moving out he has to be more confident or his life could be hard. 

So as the lunch break comes, he walks toward HoSeok, before he'll leave to the canteen. He clear he throat quietly, gaining the boys attention, as he rises his brow. 

"Here. There's my part in the project, as we agreed." SeokJin says, handling all the said stuff to the boy. "I tried to make it interesting with examples and all. You'll se yourself. There's maybe too much so you choose what will be looking good with what you've got. You have my number if you need something." Kim tries to talk as calm as possible, not wanting to show how stressed out he is with this conversation. 

"Oh, thanks SeokJin." HoSeok smiles joyfully at him, while hiding everything into his backpack to not to forget to take it after classes. "I'll try to finish this for tomorrow. I'll show it to you then and we'll submit it." He adds before JeongGuk appears near them. 

"You're coming Hobi?" He asks while glaring at the younger boy with unpleasant stare. 

"Yeah, yeah. I was just talking with Jin about the project. I'm coming now." Jung says and then waves to Kim who is still standing near. "Thanks once again." He says and walks to the exit with Jeon doing the same, but not before sending one more evil glare to SeokJin.
