Letting love in (GTop)

Unexpected

2 years later

"Ji, come on we're going to be late" Minji impatiently calls from downstairs.

I sigh and take another look at my hair that just refused to corporate today "this will have to do" I say aloud brushing through it with my fingers, and doing one final touch up on my eyeliner.

"My god, what have I created?" Minji asks with mock shame leaning against my bathroom doorframe.

I roll my eyes "you're just jealous because your brother is prettier than you" I say and smooth down the sides is my uniform jacket.

She snorts, rolling her eyes "come on, my little diva"

"Yah, I'm older than you" I yell and quickly follow after her.

"Only by like four months" she retorts not slowing down for me.

"Good morning Jiyong" Hwa Yun, says when we come down the stairs.

I smile politely and bow "morning"

She hands me a pop-tart and pats my right shoulder lightly "have a good day at school guys"

"We will mom" Minji beams and grabs my hand, one of my safe zones, pulling me toward the car.

"Any chance on getting you to eat with me and my friends at lunch?" Minji ask.

"As usual Min, I'll pass" I mumble staring out the car window at the large building in front of me. Our high school was one of the best in Seoul, and looking at it, you can see why. I can almost feel the sense of prestige from where i sit. This makes me happy, i've always loved learning. School had become my safe haven when i was younger and that hasn't changed much.

"Are you sure, I think Bom has a crush on you" she giggles.

I lift an eyebrow "and this is suppose to encourage me to eat with you?"

"Aigo, don't be a bitch, Bom is a great girl... unless you have no interest in girls" her voice heavy with insinuation.

"I don't really know what I'm into, I haven't really thought about it" I say unbuckling my seatbelt.

"Maybe if you tried checking out something other than a book, you'd figure it out" Minji says huffing out a frustrated breath.

I glance over at her and raise an eyebrow "I'll see you after school Min"

I get out of the car and walk towards the school, whispers and giggles of 'he's so cute' and 'do you think he's single' following me. This has become the normal for my morning walk into school, then I managed to disappear for the next eight hours. One of my habits that I had picked up when I was younger that I was actually thankful for, I was really good at making myself invisible.

Lunch time rolls around and as usual I am browsing around the library shelves for something interesting to go with my sandwich Hwa Yun made me. I had read pretty much everything in this library, but i didn't complain. Everytime i picked up a book, i read it like it was the first time whether i had read it once or a hundered times. Escaping into a diffferent life everytime i opened a cover of a book, was comforting to me.

I round a corner, heading down an aisle when suddenly I hear an odd sound. I stop to listen, but nothing vibrates my eardrums so I continue to walk, then I hear it again.

I tiptoe down the aisle and peek around the large book case to find a youngish boy sitting on the ground, with his knees tucked to his chest, trying his best to be quiet while he silently sobs. His hair is a mess, and his uniform is disheveled like he had been rolling around on the floor in it. But the most curious part was the heavy blackness that surrounded his eyes, that was getting more and more smudged as he continues to cry.
