The Transferee's Mute ⇥ Luwoo

Chapter 21

JUNGWOO'S POV

The moment I stepped my foot inside the building, the Dreamers came rushing towards me, who were waiting near the Faculty Room.

"Hyung!" Jaemin called out. Chenle was in front, he tripped on his own feet and made the others collapsed on top of him.

They complained to him as I helped them up. 'Chenle, no running.' I signed. He smiled and apologized to his hyungs and Jisung. 'What do you all want?'

They showed me a wide but Donghyuck was wearing a creepy one. I shouldn't have asked but it was too late to take it back.

"Since we're in the same club and we have a club meeting later, after that, you can tell us what we want to know." Donghyuck said with a smug look.

I rolled my eyes and nod. I don't have any excuse to escape them and they will do everything for me to tell the whole story.

They cheered and raced back to their classroom. I opened my locker door and get my Foreign Language textbook to study in advance.

Walking to Literature class, I was looking down on my shoes when I bumped into someone's chest.

I immediately figured out who it was and didn't looked at their face. I pushed him to my left and went on my way but he got a hold on my wrist.

Since I didn't have time to deal with him, I yanked it back and ran but I heard his heavy footsteps behind me. "Jungwoo!" He called.

I didn't dared to look back and ran like I was being chased with a gun. Once I got into the door, I hurriedly got inside and hid behind Kyungsoo, who was talking to Jongin.

He got startled and asked me, "Why?" He looked at the door. "Oh, him." By the time I peeked a little on his shoulder, Younghyun sighed and slowly closed the door.

I closed my eyes and breathed out. Kyungsoo and Jongin faced me. "What was that for?" I shook my head, not wanting to tell him and went to my seat.

Lucas greeted me when I sat down. Taeil was still at home since it's early morning and we have nothing to do for the next two days.

"What did Younghyun want?" He started combing my locks with his fingers.

I started to think about it, though it's normal for me for them chasing me around the building. I refused to signal anything and brought my head on my arms.

The door suddenly opened with a loud bang. I flinched and quickly looked over. "Taeil, are you out of your mind?!" Rose yelled.

He ignored her and walked directly to us. He grabbed both of my arms. "Are you okay?" He checked them, examining if I have a bruise or cuts.

'I'm alright. I ran away from him, don't know what he wants.' I signed. He didn't stopped talking until Mr. Lee came in.

I pulled out my textbook and started reading.

We didn't do anything this day. I was getting excited for the Christmas party and forgot that I have to go to the dance room for the meeting.

I was 20 minutes early but all of my clubmates were there, sitting or lying down on the floor.

I approached to where the dreamers were. "You're here." Renjun scooted over to have space for me. "We're just waiting for professor to come. Want one?" He offered me a gummy bear. I took it and thanked him.

After a long wait, our adviser arrived and quickly gave the announcement.

"Class, for those who are absent for these past months, especially for those who have their rehearsals for the play, please stay here. I'll see what I can do for your club grade. Dismissed."

The others went out, only a few of my Literature classmates, Jongin, Minho, Bin, and Chaeryeong, stayed. The Dreamers said they'll wait for me and stayed at the corner of the room.

We talked and reasoned until it was clear. "You can go now." Our adviser shooed us out.

Jeno asked if any of us doesn't to go home yet. All of us raised our hands and decided to go to an ice cream parlor.

We got there in no time and ordered our favorites. We sat outside the shop while I tell them yesterday's event.

"He didn't kissed you?! That was the perfect time and the sunset there was beautiful." Donghyuck said with disbelief in his voice.

I ate a spoonful of the cold dessert. 'It's early for that.' Then ate again.

Jeno tsked. "Nothing is early, Jungwoo hyung. Four months later, Taeil hyung and Johnny hyung were dating."

I put down the plastic spoon down and wiped my lips with a napkin. 'It was because they liked each other since middle school.'

No, I didn't know about that. Taeil told me he and Johnny hyung went to the same school.

They just sighed and gave up. I know these maknaes can't beat me in an arguement.

We ended up going to my apartment and made them stay for a while then we played Uno. Jaemin thought playing that card game was a terrible mistake.

He was right.

Jisung had a tantrum because he kept on loosing, Renjun thought Chenle cheated and almost threw the deck of cards at him, and Mark had to calm Donghyuck down because of... something.

They went home after the 5th game. I was on my own again so I thought about he date we had yesterday.

It won't leave my mind, not that I want it to. I've never had a crush after I got my condition.

I thought I won't have someone to be in love with me. I take that back what I said to myself being a mute. I was wrong.

He did fall in love with me.
