wooyoung slowly opened his eyes and squinted due to the bright lighting. where am i? he thought. but as the smell of bandages and such hit his nose, he knew he's in the nurse's room. he hated nothing more than the nurse's room, simply because he only gets thereafter he had a panic attack.
wooyoung has had a few panic attacks before, but those were always when he's in class and then just asked to go to the toilet. he, instead, goes to the nurse's room and just lay there for the rest of the lesson. whenever yeosang asks him where he was, he'll just say he had a stomach ache and then he'll just continue the day as if nothing happened.
"wooyoung? you're awake. come on, sit up, so i can thoroughly do some checks." the nurse said and helped him sit up. he tried but it tires him out, so he ended up just lying back down. the nurse sighed, "wooyoung, you have to help me out here. come on."
wooyoung groaned and sat up eventually. he looked around and frowned. someone must've brought him to the nurse's room, but where is that person?
"if you're wondering where he went," the nurse said, "he went back to class. don't worry, san will come here later at lunch." she said and turned to do whatever nurses do.
wooyoung's eyes widened. san was the one that brought him to the nurse's room? now that's a step up. san must've carried him all the way to the nurse's room, which was on the second floor and the last place wooyoung remembered being in was the ground floor.
before wooyoung knew it, the bell indicating lunch rang and two boys immediately went into the nurse's room. yeosang and san both looked hectic, which is funny to wooyoung since he's the one who fainted and yet, yeosang and san looks more worried than wooyoung is.
despite the two boys that rushed in shared the same worries for wooyoung, they seem to be standing a metre apart. it was as if they couldn't stand within a metre radius of each other, or else they'd die. yeosang never mentioned hating san or anything, but everything just seems to point to that.
"wooyoung, how are you? are you feeling better?" yeosang asked, sitting down on the bed and causing the bed to dip down. wooyoung smiled weakly at the boys and gave them a thumbs up. san raised one of his eyebrows but didn't ask any further.
"oh, your friends are here. well, you can go have your lunch, wooyoung. i hope i don't see you any sooner." the nurse side-eyed him, which made wooyoung squirmy, but he waved goodbye to the nurse nonetheless.
the trio went to the lunch hall and was immediately greeted by seonghwa. seonghwa sneered at the sight of wooyoung, "i see you're still with that freak, san."
a smaller boy with red hair hit seonghwa on the arm, causing seonghwa to groan in pain, "don't be mean, hwa! i don't think we've met. hi, i'm hongjoong, and unfortunately, the asshole that called you a freak is my boyfriend."
wooyoung was taken aback. how could seonghwa have a boyfriend that's so sweet and so opposite of him? wooyoung smiled at hongjoong as yeosang introduced them.
"i'm yeosang and the one next to me is wooyoung. nice to meet you, hongjoong ssi." yeosang bowed slightly, wooyoung following suit. the small boy chuckled and waved them off.
"don't call me hongjoong ssi, it's so formal and boring. just hongjoong is fine." hongjoong smiled. wooyoung smiled back. he liked hongjoong, definitely more than he liked seonghwa.
seonghwa rolled his eyes and tugged on hongjoong's hand, "come on, let's go. i don't want to be near—"
hongjoong glared at seonghwa and the taller immediately shut up. "i'm sorry he's such a jerk. if you don't mind, you can join us for lunch! i wouldn't mind, and i'm sure my friends wouldn't, too. the only one minding would be seonghwa, but i'll make sure he doesn't say one bad thing about you!" hongjoong smiled.
wooyoung was honestly in awe. hongjoong is such a kind person. honestly, wooyoung is just surprised anyone would be nice to someone that doesn't even talk to them.
yeosang accepted the offer and the trio went over to where hongjoong's friends were sitting. on their way, seonghwa kept on complaining and stuff, but hongjoong managed to shut him up every single time. either just with a glance or a nudge.
wooyoung can't help but think that those two are soulmates. this whole soulmate thing has been bothering him so much. how can he confirm that he is his soulmate? how does he know? plus, there's no way there are words on his soulmate's wrist since he is a selective mute after all.
the five boys arrived at a table where jongho and two other boys sat. wooyoung glanced at the two boys and remembered them from some of his classes. jongho saw yeosang and his face lit up immediately, "yeo! what are you going here?"
jongho went up to hug yeosang, but yeosang pushed him away. he was still clutching onto jongho's hands, though, "your friend hongjoong decided to invite us for lunch."
hongjoong gulped down a bit of sandwich he was having and looked up at the couple, "you're the cute boy jongho always talks about?"
yeosang looked at jongho up and down as if he's judging his boyfriend, "cute boy, huh?"
jongho rolled his eyes and swatted yeosang's left arm. he dragged yeosang down to sit next to him, leaving wooyoung no choice but to sit next to san, who was chatting happily with one of the two tallboys.
the one with faded pink hair smiled at wooyoung, "hey. i don't think i caught your name. i'm jeong yunho, the one next to me is song mingi. it's nice to meet you!"
wooyoung liked him, so he offered yunho a small smile. san saw this and answered for wooyoung, "this is wooyoung. he doesn't like talking much, so, uh, don't push him."
yunho nodded, as if he understands. "my uncle is mute. it's fine if you aren't and are just shy, though. i'm just saying i know what it's like."
wooyoung's eyes widened. he never thought that someone would understand him. he never thought that someone else in this school has a relative that had his problem. sure, being mute isn't exactly the same as being a selective mute, but it's close enough to make wooyoung amazed.
lunch went by quickly with the seven boys just chatting amongst themselves. seonghwa still wasn't fond of the idea of wooyoung and yeosang sitting with them, but hongjoong just scolded him every time seonghwa said so. yeosang just talked to jongho and if san started a conversation with yeosang, the latter would glare at san and san would just shut up automatically. wooyoung never saw this side of yeosang unless it's directed to the local bullies that bully wooyoung out of boredom. why the hell does yeosang hate san so much?
out of curiosity, wooyoung asked san about hongjoong and seonghwa. through text, of course. apparently, hongjoong found out seonghwa was his soulmate in freshmen year because seonghwa said: "you're the strawberry boy i keep seeing in the neighbourhood!". wooyoung thought it was funny for your soulmate's first words to you to be that, but nonetheless, he's glad they found each other. when am i going to know he is my soulmate after all?
"what class do you have next, wooyoung?" san asked the younger. wooyoung was about to type on his phone, but yeosang answered san quicker than he expected.
"we have korean next, you?" yeosang snapped at san as he packed his lunch box back into his backpack. wooyoung nodded, confirming what yeosang said was true. wooyoung was honestly shocked at how yeosang just snapped at san, but let it off since maybe yeosang is just in a bad mood.
turns out san and yunho have the same class as the two best friends, so the four of them walked to the korean classroom, yunho and san chatting away happily while yeosang and wooyoung at the back.
"i have something to tell you later," wooyoung muttered to yeosang. yeosang was taken aback by wooyoung's voice but nodded anyway.
