Escape you || Woosan

Last first day

(8 years later)

(Wooyoung pov)

I groan as I sit up. Mondays are the worst. I slowly trudge down the corridor to get ready. It's first day back at school again, but it's at least my last year of high school, but it's a new school. I moved away from Seoul a few years ago and now I'm back again. I lost touch with Yeosang sadly so I don't even know what school he's at. I sigh and look at the mess of my brown hair. I brush it and style it a bit and get dressed into my new uniform. Black pants, white dress shirt, black, navy and silver striped tie and a plain black blazer with the school crest on it. It suits me at least. I check the time and realize I'm gonna be late, so I grab my stuff and run out the door.

"Bye Jin have a nice day!" I yell at the chef

"Bye bye woo! You too!"

We kept the same house over the years while I was gone. My parents stayed in Seoul while I was in a boarding school in another city. I only visited back home for Christmas every year, but that was for a few days only. I run to catch the bus on my way to the new school. I missed being back here. I sigh and draw a smiley face on my wrist for my soulmate. Him and I have a close relationship now. I never told him I moved away in fear he'd panic that he'd never find me. He replies with a smiley face also.

I run off the bus and into the school gates, but it's empty, meaning I'm late. I walk up to the front office and introduce myself as the new student.

"You're late." The front lady said

"I got lost sorry." I reply nervously.

"You have a guide waiting for you around the corner. Here's your time table. Have a nice day."

"Thanks you too." I say and walk around the corner and I'm met by a tall figure leaning on the wall

"You Wooyoung?" The figure says coldly

"Yeah? Who are you?" I reply matching his tone

"Oh. Hey I'm Yunho. Sorry I'm in a bad mood I just had a rough night. Follow me." The boy says lightening up a bit. "I hear you're a transfer?"

"Yeah. I used to live here before though, but I don't recognize you haha."

"Yeah I was new a few years back. Here's the science and math wing and on the other side is the language classes. Downstairs is the practical rooms and creative arts rooms. And out back is the Phys Ed gymnasium. What's your first class?"

"Oh um English with Mr Wang." I say looking at my schedule

"Oh same as me then. We have different schedules but they're similar, so you can chill with me today if you want." Yunho said smiling

"Oh that's nice of you thanks." I say returning the smile.

"Here's the English class. I'll go in before you, cause chances are you'll have to do introductions." Yunho said walking into the class

"Mr Jung! Welcome to the class. I understand you're late so please come introduce yourself please!" Mr Wang said. I nod and walk to the front of the class

"Hey I'm Jung Wooyoung. I just transferred here again recently but I used to live in the area. That's um all I guess!" I say laughing

"Thank you Wooyoung. You can go sit next to Hongjoong at the back there. Hongjoong lift your hand please!" He said as I snap my head to look at the back of the class where Hongjoong has his hand raised. He has bright red hair. He smiles at me and waves. I shakily walk up to the back and sit down next to him. He must've not recognized me because he introduces himself

"Hey newbie I'm Hongjoong. Nice to meet you." He said with a nice smile.

"Yeah hi I'm Wooyoung." I say kinda coldly remembering him from the past. I know for a fact he can't recognize me because I've changed a lot since then. I'm a lot taller and muscular, and I fit my facial features much better, cause my eyes were always a bit big for my face as a kid. And my hair is also a bit longer and a different colour.

"Woah no need to be so cold.....Did I do something wrong?" Hongjoong said defensively

"Yeah you stood back and let them bully me!" I whisper harshly

"I don't think I under- wait your THAT Wooyoung from middle school!?"

"Yes I am thanks very much. I can tell you're a nice guy, so leave me alone please." I say turning my attention to the class

"I'm sorry." He said and turned around to face the teacher.

If he's here who else is? I look around the class for other familiar people. I recognize some of them but none of them were my friends. The bell rings signaling the start of break, because that's just how late I am. I grab my stuff and walk up to Yunho.

"Hey ready to go?" He asks standing up

"Yeah let's go."

"Oh you can meet my friends! My soulmate doesn't sit with us because his friends don't know I'm his soulmate. You might know him though. Song Mingi."

I freeze at the name and just stare blankly ahead

"Um Wooyoung? You okay?" He waved a hand in front of my face.

Fucking great. So that means Seonghwa and San are probably here also. I laugh and continue onwards

"Did you know your soulmate used to bully me along with three others?" I say to Yunho

"No ways you're lying. He'd never!"

"Don't be so sure. Anyways show the way to the cafeteria." I say as Yunho walks ahead directing me into a huge room filled with tables and people. He directs me to his table where two others sit.

"Here put your bags down and we can go get food and then do introductions okay?" Yunho said as we put our bags down

We grab our trays and a sandwich with a bottle of juice and make our way back

"Yunho whos this?" A voice said belonging to a smaller boy

"Ah yeah! This is Wooyoung! I'll let him introduce himself."

"Oh um I'm Wooyoung. I just transferred here but I used to live around in the area. And due to that I've seen some....people I dislike strongly." I say opening my juice

"Oh okay well I'm Jongho nice to meet you!" The shorter boy says smiling

"I'm Yeosang nice to meet you." The shy boy says looking up. My smile drops as I stare at him

"Y-yeosang?" I stutter

"Yeah that's me?" He looks up fully staring back at me "Can I um help you?"

"You don't remember me?" I say tears welling up in my eyes

"What was your name again?"

"It's Wooyoung, Yeosang. Jung Wooyoung. I thought you'd remember my name or at least recognize me!"

"Wooyoung?" He blinked
