Eyes With Secrets

5

The bell rang and I had a feeling that Jimin was not well. Maybe that's why he was acting weird. I turned over to ask him if he was fine.

"Hey! How are y-"

"Not now!" he murmured in an almost inaudible voice and strode out of the classroom.God ,that was mean! He was so fast I was sure Mr.Beomgyu didn't notice him going out. Because, it was after that he dismissed the class. How is he so fast?! I was sure none of the other students saw it either. No one had seen or heard how mean he was to me! He was alright yesterday, or was it just my thoughts? Was he uncomfortable yesterday too? He probably was. I shouldn't have gone over to sit next to him. There was no way I was going to ask Areum about it. She would get a reason to make fun of me!

I was going to ask him about it the next time I was going to see him. And he would have to give me an answer! No matter how uncomfortable he would be! He can't be this mean to people!

I took my bag, books and strode out of the classroom frustrated. I was lost in thought about Jimin when an unfamiliar voice called out to me.

"Hey! Park Hyunho!"

"Yea?" I asked turning around. A guy, wearing a simple white T-shirt was walking towards me. He had beautiful light brown hair. He was definitely a few inches taller than me. He wasn't wearing any makeup,but still looked pretty. How did he know who I was? 

"Hi" he said just as he reached my side.

"Hello"I said a fond smile.

"I am Park Seonghwa. I'm with you in Spanish. I don't know if you noticed me. I was sitting in the back."

Oh he was in my class. That's how he knows my name.

"Hey Seonghwa. I'm really sorry I didn't notice you. It was my first class and I'm only getting used to the teaching. I got to pay attention in class."

He chuckled, hearing this. "Uh huh. What class do you have next?"

"Uhm I have gym."

"Oh that's great! I have gym too. I'll show you to the gym."

"Okay. Great!" I replied. It was so easy talking to him. We just met seconds back! At least Seonghwa wasn't disgusted by me in any way. It felt nice to have a normal conversation with someone. And I have got to make some new friends in Seoul.

We walked to the gym talking about me. About how I moved in with Mun and if I was liking the school. He seemed really talkative for a guy.

"Is something bothering you?" he asked, when he noticed that I was lost in thoughts. 

That was when I realized that I had not answered his question about Jimin and me sitting in class together. He had said that Jimin was very introverted and did not talk to many people. This was something I already knew. Seonghwa had expressed that he was surprised when I went and sat next to him. No one ever did.

"Oh I'm fine." I said flashing a smile at him. He grinned back. He had a really cute and boyish smile. Unlike Jimin, whose eyes became small crescents when he smiled, Seonghwa's eyes popped up more when he did.

We reached the gym in a few minutes.

"I'll go change. See you at the court!" Seonghwa said as he rushed to the boy's locker room.

 It was basketball coaching for us that day. I went to the girl's locker room to find Areum already changed into her basketball shorts and T-shirt. She was a really sporty girl unlike me and Mun. Areum had 11 line abs, which she developed over a span of three months. It was very hard to get 11 line abs and most people didn't know that Areum did have it.
