Colours || mashikyu

chapter 2

mashiho scampered towards the school's large entrance, followed by his friends and cousins haruto, yoshinori, asahi, keita, and mahiro.

him and his friends had just transferred a little over a week ago, but he still gets confused of the surroundings and new faces.

"you're wearing your contact lenses right mashi?" keita asked, slightly turning his face to try to get a better look of latter's eyes. "yep." he simply replied.

mashiho had many problems with bullying in his old school back in japan. he has a special eye condition that shows his emotions when they flicker a certain colour. although it may seem cool at first, people began coming up with ways to use his abilities to their advantages, and one of the most popular ways was to use his eyes to make money or for manipulating others.

mashiho hated his eyes. after nearly the entire school found out about his ability, they'd befriend him just for the purpose of using him, and when mashiho would not comply, they would throw him harsh words and physically harm him for hours at a time.

after many trips to the school nurse and principals office, mashiho's parents finally had enough and decided to move to south korea, where his father was staying for a few months for a business trip. followed by his closest friends and cousins, mashiho was given a fresh start in seoul, where he will be attending his new school, treasure heights. their only condition being that he cannot under any circumstances let anyone know about his eyes.

the six students entered the school and left to their respective classes. asahi and mashiho had very similar schedules as they're studying in the same year. they had all but one class together. the two went up the stairs and towards their first class together.

as they enter the class, the teacher, mrs. lee shows the new comers her cheerful smile as she gazes back to her book, preparing for today's lesson.

because they had transferred in the middle of the semester, they weren't able to choose where they sat, so mashiho and asahi parted ways to their respective seats before the lesson began.

half an hour into the trigonometry lesson, mashiho feels a small tap on his shoulder. he turns to his left and sees a boy turning to him with a smile. "hi! my name is jaehyuk. you're new here right?" he whispers. mashiho smiled before replying, "i'm mashiho. yes, i just transferred a couple days ago."

after silently conversing for the remainder of mrs. lee's class, the bell rang, saving the rest of the students from their boredom. "alright class, make sure to review the cosine law formula and finish your textbook work!" the teacher yelled as her students began dispersing out of her class.

"it was nice meeting you mashi! i'll see you tomorrow yeah?" jaehyuk asked as they walked out of the classroom. "yeah, i'll see you tomorrow jaehyuk-sii" he politely replied before jaehyuk quickly rebuttled, "ahh, just call me jaehyuk, we're friends n-"

"there you are mashiho." asahi said as he walked out the door. "ah, asahi! let's go to the canteen?" mashiho asked and got a nod in reply. "i'll see you tomorrow jaehyuk!" mashiho said and waved to his new friend.

their walk to the canteen was silent, a comfortable silence until asahi hesitatingly asked who jaehyuk was. this had mashiho raise an eyebrow at his question, as he rarely paid attention nor cared about anyone who weren't his friends or family. after a short conversation on mashiho's new friend, they arrived at their destination.

"do you guys wanna go to arcade after school?" yoshinori asked to which everyone agreed, or nearly everyone. "ah sorry, i can't. there's a dance club meeting scheduled after school and i don't wanna be absent on my first day there." mashiho apologized. the rest of his friends understood. dance was his passion and acted as an escape from reality you might say.

after spending the remainder of the lunch period happily conversing and teasing one another, the bell rang, signalling the end of their break. as mashiho walked to the trash to throw his empty juice box, he bumped into a very tall man which made him stumble and fall to the ground.

"watch where you're going shorty" he spat out, making mashiho to stand on his feet and continuously repeat apologies. he then looked up to the man and noticed how despite his rude behaviour, he looks.. adorable? like a koala?

the tall boy looked at him questionably before huffing and walking away without a word. mashiho snapped out of his trance a couple seconds later and scurried to his next class as it was about to start.

as students made their ways out of the large school gates, mashiho ran to try to find the dance studio in the school without being late. after finally arriving at his destination, he opened the door, hoping that they wouldn't mind that he was a couple minutes late. everyone in the room looked in his direction which made him feel uneasy, not until the leader of the club spoke up in a loud, cheerful tone, "hello! mashiho is it? welcome to the dance club, i'm the leader, jeon woong !" his introduction made mashiho felt a lot more at ease as he replied, "yes i'm mashiho, i'm so sorry for being late, i'm new here." he looked down, a little embarrassed.

after being properly introduced with everyone in the small club, the newcomer felt open enough to talk and joke around with some of the members as they practiced several dance techniques. he immediately became friends with these two boys, jihoon and doyoung, and it turned out they have many similarities and common interests.

the two joked around about doyoung's not-so-secret love for his best friend while the latter blushed and covered his face in embarrassment. all was well until finally, practice ended for today.

the three walked out to the schools entrance before jihoon asked which direction mashiho lived in, to which they coincidently found out they only live a few blocks away from one another. deciding to take the bus back home, the three dancers enjoyed each other's company before finally parting ways.

mashiho entered his house to his mother's sweet voice asking what he wants for their dinner. after briefly replying, the small japanese made his way to his room and collapsed on his bed, letting the soft silk sheets envelop him as he slowly drifted off to dreamland.
