renunciation

Donghyuk continues counting the steps he takes to reach to his destination. Ever since that incident he can't help but make sure everything he did fell in the same category.

The last time he decided to take another route things didn't go well.

"500.. 501.. 50-" he stops counting as soon as he felt his body colliding with another.

He glares at the figure that stopped him from walking to see the petite girl from before.

But this time.. crying.

He just rolled his eyes, knowing its just a cry for attention. It wasn't his place to know what happened to her so why should he care. He didn't even know she existed before anyways.

As he was about to walk past her she looks up, her teary eyes making contact with his stone cold eyes. He couldn't help the way his eyes looked at people.

He just hated attention seekers.

"S-sorry..." is all she says as she runs away into a building.

"Pathetic." He mummbles as he continues counting his steps.

Slamming his locker door he mentally groans. Wanting the guy to get out of his sight.

"Can you just leave me alone already?" He says as he walks accross the hall way.

That didn't stop Jaemin from following him though. Which made him want to internally kill himself.

"My mission is to be friends with you! I'm not going to leave you alone until you befriend me" he claims while walking beside Donghyuk.

"Consider your mission to fail" Donghyuk says as he enters his classroom and shuts the door at Jaemin's face.

"And you consider me cold hearted" Taeyong chuckles as Donghyuk sends him another glare.

"Come on, take a seat. The class is going to start soon"

Sliding his fingers across the books he felt his mind come into peace. This was the only place where he felt like he could do anything.

It was like his little hide out. No one can disturb him. And he liked that.

He stops as he notices a book missing from the shelf. He frowns hating that he couldn't have the satsifying feeling of enjoying every book from the shelf.

"What do you think you're doing?"
He turns around to see the petite girl again or so he would like to call an attention seeker.

"What's it to you" he says with his same old cold dimena and leave the library.

She watches him leave while biting her lip. She turns around and her eyes widens as she notices the diary to be gone.

Next day -- School
The door slides open, catching everyone's attention in the class.

"Sarang, is there something so important you needed to say to the point you had to disrupt my class?" The teacher asks.

"Can I borrow Donghyuk for a second? I need to discuss something to him" Sarang states and the teacher nods.

Donghyuk stands up as he felt the whole class' gaze upon him. He makes his way to the attention seeker and closes the door behind him as they're both outside the classroom.

"You need to give me that book back. Now" she says and he looks at her with no emotion.

"What book?"

"The book you took yesterday. It's something important and I do-"

"Are you really just asking for attention?" He states causing Sarang to freeze.

"If it was truly something important to you then why leave it in a school library that everyone has access to?"

She couldn't say anything as all he stated was facts.

"Don't bring me into your own mess" Is the last thing he says as he goes back in the classroom, leaving the girl to feel hopeless.

He sighs as he felt everyone's gaze upon him. Taking a seat the guy in front of him turns around.

"What did you guys talk about?"

"What about you mind your own business" he states, opening his laptop and typing away as the guy scoffed from his response.

A figure spreads out his arms and legs, preventing Donghyuk from moving any further.

"Want me to walk you home?" the blue haired boy asks.

Donghyuk just looks at him and walks right past him. Taking that as a yes the boy followed him around like a lost puppy.

After a few minutes of the boy non stop talking Donghyuk stops and turns around.

"Look Jaemin. For the last time leave me alone, I'm not going to be friends with you"

"Oh come on Donghyuk~ Don't you feel bad for me putting in so much effort to be your friend?" Jaemin says playfully.

"I never asked for you to be my friend. I like being alone. Respect it" is all he says as he leaves Jaemin alone.

Jaemin sighs and takes his phone out, pressing on the messenger app.

Jaemin
I think it's going to be
hard befriending
Donghyuk. He seems
to really dislike me

???
Just continue. It's your
mission to bring
Donghyuk back to his
old self

Jaemin
Alright hyung. I'll try
my best...
