Maybe there's a part of me that wants to be alone

Maybe there's a part of me that's looking for a home

Searchin' for a place to be, don't wanna leave a trace

I'm tryin' to start my life again, so please forget my face










Renjun was standing outside the teacher's room. He was hesitating. It's not that he didn't like his cousin or that his cousin was rude to him; he just didn't feel comfortable around him. He inhaled sharply when he felt Jaemin push him closer to the door.

Renjun knocked lightly on the door, hoping that the knock was loud enough for the teacher to hear. There was no response.

"Oh my god, just go," Jaemin said, pushing Renjun to the side before knocking aggressively. "Good luck!" he said before running away.

Renjun went rigid when he saw a shadow approach the door. The handle started turning. A male in his early twenties opened the door with an angry expression.

"Who knocked-" The male's grim face suddenly melted into a smile. "Renjun!" He shouted while pulling Renjun into a bone-crushing hug. Renjun stayed frozen, shocked by the sudden contact, and pulled away quickly.

"What are you doing here? I haven't seen you in so long!" He beamed while pinching Renjun's cheeks.

"Yeah...I didn't get any classes with you as my teacher." Renjun laughed nervously while prying the older's hands off his cheeks. Renjun cleared his throat. "Um, Lucas...I was wondering if you could do me a favor?"

"Of course, anything for my little Renjun! But first, let's talk inside." Lucas said as he pulled Renjun inside, closing the door behind them. Renjun looked back at the closed door and swallowed. "What did you want?"

"Well, you see, there are these two boys in one of your classes, and I was wondering...could you possibly make them partners in the upcoming group project?" Renjun asked, his voice a little above a whisper. Renjun fidgeted with his hands, waiting for his cousin's response.

"Yeah, sure. Who?"

"Haechan and Mark."

"Sure." Renjun sighed out of relief and went to leave. As soon as the door closed, Lucas sighed.

"What's with him?"
