As soon as my English class ended, and Mr. Kim signaled that we could leave, I picked up my backpack and scrambled out of my seat.

But a tug on my hoodie me fall back in my seat. I turned around and mock-glared at Wooyoung, who raised an eyebrow in question.

I waved the letter I was giving to Seonghwa, in Wooyoung's face and he blinked for a few seconds, the understood, ushering me out of my seat.

Last night, after I'd written my letter to Seonghwa, Wooyoung and San had woken up, and San blushed madly at the compromising position he had been in with Wooyoung and scurried back to his room after a good night kiss from Wooyoung.

And speaking of which, Wooyoung and San were starting become a thing, and according to Wooyoung, they were going to see how this thing goes. Good for them.

And then had arose the topic of my supposed love life, and I had told Wooyoung everything about outlast meeting. From the apple candies and Mullet boy, to the letter writing idea.

And Wooyoung has squealed and hugged me, saying that he was of course very happy for me and that Seonghwa actually like me more than a friend and that we were the more closer to Seongsang happening. Whatever Seongsang is. I didn't ask.

I pushed past people in the bustling corridor, tentatively taking the stairs to Seonghwa's Art class, the one I've never been in, but have passed by many times.

As this was Seonghwa's free period, the class was empty. I peeked inside the half open door, to see Seonghwa sitting with his combat boots clad feet propped up on the desk. The sleeves of his green sweater were rolled up, his usual glasses resting on the edge of his nose as he worked on his sketchbook, his tongue peeking out in concentration.

After admiring the sight for a few more seconds before it become creepy, I rapped on the door.

Seonghwa looked up with a start, but then his face stretched into a beaming smile as he beckoned me in. I smiled back nervously, tugging at the sleeves of my hoodie as I walked in.

Seonghwa lifted his feet off the desk as he grinned at me and signed, "So what brings you to my class?"

I laughed lightly, and pulled out the letter from my front pocket, handing it to Seonghwa, who was confused for a few seconds, then remembered.

He set the letter down.

"The letter? I can't wait to read and of course write you back. And of course give you another little surprise along with it. Thank you", Seonghwa signed, that heart-warming smile tugging at his lips.

"My pleasure--", I started to sign, but Seonghwa was looking behind me.

I turned around and cursed in my head. Stupid Mullet boy. Just who we needed.

Hongjoong greeted Seonghwa, and then raised the pile of office files in his arms to emphasize something, making Seonghwa smack his forehead as he must have forgotten something.

Hongjoong then noticed as he fully sauntered inside, looking ridiculously sharp and classy in a long winter overcoat, and setting the files down on Seonghwa's desk. He then reached over and ruffles my hair.

I snapped my head away and shot him a murderous glare, but he didn't even flinch. Asshole.

I know I shouldn't hat him so much, but I do.

As Seonghwa and Hongjoong were immersed in a conversation and forgot I was there, I slipped out of the room.

But I have no idea why I went back. Maybe to ask Seonghwa if he'll swing by the bench today, because he had said he wanted to give something else to me before Hongjoong had intruded.

I stepped back inside but stopped dead in my tracks, my fists clenching at my sides.

Fucking Mullet boy had an arm hooked around Seonghwa, who had his arm lightly draped around his waist, and Hongjoong was whispering sweet nothings in Seonghwa's ear.

I know it must have been something else as Seonghwa then playfully punched his shoulder, but I felt my heart breaking right then.

I compared myself, the stupid deaf kid to Hongjoong, the sharp gentlemen.

I really am deluded.

Stifling a sob, I blindly ran towards the dorm building, not giving a single fuck about my other classes. I needed to be away from everything right now.
