And Then You Came... [Eunhae] |✔

04.First Glimps

"Life is different when we discover what is deeply important to us"

-Stehpen Covey.

"That prize winning nightmare of a boy!", fumed professor Kim Jong, sipping his lukewarm tea.

"Who?", asked the half-French professor Rumi who taught History of Dancing Arts.

"Lee Hyukjae; who else?!",said the first one gloomily. "It'll be a blessing when he leaves this place."

"But surely you can't deny the fact that he's the most talented pupil you've ever laid your eyes upon", reasoned the quiet History professor.

"Believe me, that's the only reason; the ONLY one why he is still here", declared Kim. "I haven't forgotten the devil dance he lead us last year. We all ended up looking like fools! this time if he ever tries anything stupid on me,I will personally make sure he gets kicked out before he can say the word 'unfair' "
Kim Jong gave himself a self satisfied smile. He had always thought himself above the rest of the staff because he taught Hip-hop and Rap styles, he even had tattoos to prove it, but the proffessor was mostly known for the love of showing off infront of his pupils.

"Then maybe you should say that to his face", muttered Rumi. "Since he is already here."Kim looked up sharply and true enough; there was the little brat standing near the doorframe.

"Oh you", said the man boredly. "How's that mental state of your's?"

"Fine professor, I'm just transiting from extreme stress to light depression now", said Eunhyuk sarcasticaly.

"oh yeah ? and what's the difference may I ask?" he inquired. Hyukjae sighed and went near the gloating man.

"When I'm stressed it is just me trying to kill myself", he explained patiently.

"But when I'm depressed--," with a sudden lightning fast movement, Eunhyuk grabbed the pencil that was lying on the table and held it near the proffessor's face; it's tip dangerously close.

"I might try to kill you as well"

"Lee Hyukjae! how DARE you do that to me! I'll-I'll.." stuttered the astonished tattooed man unable to select a suitable death threat to the boy.

"Professor Kim?", said a politely authoritative voice. "I think we all should give a little allowance for Hyukjae's behaviour. There's no point in provoking him."
The voice belonged to Professor Jung Sook. A fearsome, respected professor who taught Performance Sciences with a no nonsense attitude and so far, the only one Eunhyuk had any respect for.

"As if he needs any provoking", muttered professor Kim angrily.

"Hyukjae", said Sook silkily "This is not the place you should be right now."

"Yes professor", said Eunhyuk, bowing low, he left them. They all watched him leave.

"He will look very handsome if he stopped scowling that much", commented Rumi.

"How come? how come he only listens to YOU?", barked professor Kim.

"I don't know professor Kim...Maybe a little understanding on his side of the story works wonders sometimes", said Jung Sook and sat down to drink his cold tea.

"What's your name?", inquired Teuk from Donghae politely as they walked down the lane lined with huge fir trees.
"I'm Lee Donghae", he answered smiling.

"So you've got any friends here?"

"No I haven't" admitted Donghae a little sadly. Teuk clapped him on the back.
