Silently Watching You - Ryeji

Chapter 1

Ryujin's POV:

Another Day. Monday.

I sighed uninterested by it walking my way up towards the school's rooftop. The third floor wasn't crowded that much since the faculty room was located here and club rooms as well. No one would notice that i would go at the rooftop at every lunch time and no one would even care about my existence at all.

I'm Shin Ryujin. I'm 17 and in my second year trying to survive High school and get my life over with. Students around me would portray me as cold as ice no one would ever go near me either they were scared or they thought i was bad a person. I don't blame them anyways it's my decision after all.

To say the least. Ever since we moved here in Seoul everything was so new for me and for my dad. We moved from our previous home in Daegu after their divorce, sad isn't it? Apparently Dad caught Mom cheating behind his back and even i saw it with my own eyes. I was still 14 back then and that was when my life changed. I became a cold and lonely person not wanting to see anyone nor any interaction from anyone except for my Dad.

Dad basically raised me not just a Dad but as a Mom as well, He put up a strong image for me, to support me, to care for me ever since. He understood why i was like this but he didn't push me to talk to anyone instead waited for me to find someone who could change me.

But i didn't believe it. I had no one else for me except for him so I just hid myself in my room or when I'm in school I'll stay at the rooftop looking at the sunny sky alone.

I snuck my hands inside the pockets of my jacket. I was just wearing my favorite oversized green jacket with a black shirt inside and black jogger pants. As long as I'm comfortable with what I'm wearing i really don't care what they think about my choice of clothes.

When i finally at the top i slowly opened it as usual so no one would hear it opened from nearby.

I walked my way towards my usual spot at the corner where i was slightly hidden from the sun.

I sat there watching the blue sky and how the clouds slowly moving as usual. I had nothing to do i was done with homework already so waiting for the time to pass by was the only thing I'd do.

I would sighed from time to time and close me eyes feeling the warm breeze hitting me. If i could just nap here the whole afternoon but i can't. We had exams today so skipping class wouldn't be good and i dont want to disappoint my Dad.

I slowly leaned my head at the wall behind me as i closed my eyes for a good minute. My ears slightly twitched hearing a distant noise but i shrugged it off. No one even goes here except me.

Changing into a distant and cold person after a family member left/deceased is quite cliché isn't it? but honestly it's hard to accept a family member's loss nor being replaced/left knowing that you don't have a complete family.

I opened my eyes as i noticed a not so little paperbag beside the door.

'Is that why there was noise that i could barely hear earlier? Someone went here and left this paperbag?'

I slowly stood up and examined the paperbag without touching it.

"This might be a prank." i muttered to myself trying to be cautious.

No one else knows that i had access to do this rooftop and no one dared to come here.

Saying that they saw a ghost here before when they tried to come here when in fact it was just me scaring them off my turf.

I swear if this is another prank from Beomgyu and his friends. I'm tired of his antics towards me.

But they're scaredy cats they wouldn't come here. I just rubbed my nape as i had no idea who would put this here when everyone is scared going here.

'Why am i even worked up to whoever did this anyways'

I looked at my phone and it was almost time for class so i just walked passed by the paperbag went down before someone sees me.

I have no time for a mysterious paperbag i just want school to be over already so i can just binge watch movies or something at my room.

I am no Detective Conan or Sherlock Holmes so pass.

I hurriedly speek walk my way towards the other stairway. When i arrived at the second floor i slowed my pace as students were already coming and i went inside our classroom.

As per usual they ignored my existence except for beomgyu and his friends mocking me but i didn't mind.

I walked towards my desk located at the back just right beside the window for me to sun gaze.

All of my classmates are slowly coming one by one and only our Professor hasn't arrived yet.

I grabbed one of manga inside my bag to read for the meantime until i heard footsteps coming towards me.

'I just want to read manga.'

I sighed slightly when i already know who's coming.

"Well Well Well.. If it isn't Weirdo Shin reading another stupid Manga" Beomgyu says as he took my manga from my hands.

"Give it back Beomgyu" i coldly say giving him a death glare which he just scoffed while his friends stood behind him like he was some kind of demigod to be obeyed.

"And why would i? Are you gonna cry weirdo?" He laughed followed by his friends while i just sat there with no expression in my face.

"You said it before right? Those who are holding Manga are weirdos now why are you holding one, are you a weirdo as well?" I coldly say as the whole class was listening intensely.

He gritted his teeth as he threw my manga at me which i caught successfully, "Whatever weirdo come on guys" He says as they went to their seats while the class had a little gossip about the commotion.

I ignored them as i went back to reading where i was rudely interrupted by an idiot.

'I hate it here for real'
