"HYUNJIN WHAT WAS THAT." Felix stomped angrily on the tiles in the hallway.

"I just saved your ass from a huge embarassement, you should be grateful." Hyunjin lazily replied.

"Ah rEALLY? AND WAS BECOMING HATED BY CHANGBIN AND THE REST OF THE SCHOOL A PART OF YOUR AMAZING PLAN TOO?"

"He already hated you before, exept that now he has a reason."

"Oh, gREAt. Thank you very much."

"You better. I went out of my way to do something for you."

"Look you evil soul. These are the things that are acceptable." Felix made a small circle with his hands. "And the thing you just did is is there." He pointed at the opposite side of the hallway.

"..."

"..."

"Whatever."

"..."

"It's not like this changes anything. Words has already been said and things done. The one who you should be mad at is the person who bumped into you."

"...Yeah, you're right."

"See? What would you do without me."

"I don't know, maybe live a peaceful and easier life." Felix said ironically.

"You wish." Hyunjin snorted.

The afternoon lessons went in peace. Occasionally Felix would get sideway glances from the other people but otherwise it was fine.

After school they went to the library.

"Well now, let's look up some stuff about you." Felix clapped excitedly and went to the section about ancient Korea.

"Hm, where should we start? Hyunjin do you know which dynasty you lived in?"

Felix took out a random book about kingdoms from two thousand years ago.

"I don't know, it was a long time ago. Besides we classified the years other way."

"You're not helping." Felix frowned as he was mindlessly listing through the book.

'I was never good at history. I always slept on the lessons, now it would be great if I had at least the basic knowledge. It would make my search much easier.' Felix sighed and closed the book with a snap.

Suddenly he heard some steps in the next isle.

Felix panicked and tried to shove the book back into the bookshelf.

The footsteps were getting closer so he left the book half stuck in the shelf and quickly ran away from the library.

After a while of running Hyunjin asked Felix a bit confused. "Wait why are you running?"

"Huh?"

"Why did you run off when you heard someone coming."

"Oh. Well, I didn't want them to know what we're looking for."

"???"

"..."

"History is forbidden or what?"

"To be honest I don't know why I ran away. I just felt like we were doing something forbidden."

"You're weird."

"Yes, thank you. It's called social anxiety."

"Social... what?"

"Nevermind."

"..."

Meanwhile, in the library, the half stuck book fell down.

The person walking around heard the thud and came to look.

"Someone doesn't know how to put back a book properly." He sighed as he leaned down to pick up the book.

It was Changbin who just came back from his volleyball practice.

He came to look for a book to read. Not many people knew but he liked to read historical books.

He always found interesting to read about how the world worked in the past and how people lived many years ago.

Changbin flipped through the pages.

"Oh wow, this was like one of the darkest dynasties ever." He stopped on one chapter. "One with many wars and dethronings."

"..."

"Why would someone read this? It's too depressing for a leisure reading."

"..."

He shrugged and put it back into the shelf.
