~POV Jisung~

.

When I opened my eyes, I was in the infirmary. I could hear the water fountain soothing sound as I tried to remember what had happened to me. Fluttering my eyelids, I met Yang Seugmin's warm eyes, as he was busy filing files on a shelf next to the bed.

"Jisung! How do you feel?" He asked as I tried to straighten up.

However, barely seated, I felt dizzy. At once, with a compassionate smile, the handsome male nurse helped me to lie down.

"Stay calm... You were hit in the head by a basket ball... You fainted and some students carried you here." He explained as I was remembering the pain I felt earlier. "You should get some sleep... You haven't sleep or eat for a while, no? And you've been under a lot of stress this morning... I've heard about it."

Seugmin was lovely. He was worried about me and had guessed my condition just by looking at me. Well, I guessed it wasn't very difficult, considering how pale I was, with those huge dark circles under my eyes. He then told me my afternoon classes had been cancelled, which relieved me, even if I was quite ashamed to draw attention of myself again, mostly after this morning's disaster...

"Just rest, okay? I'll get you something to eat." He took a break, before gently ruffling my hair. "You're very loved by the students, you know. Lee Felix from 3A-3 stayed a long time to make sure you were all right."

Him...

Thinking back to what he had said to me before I lost consciousness, I nervously shook my head. But immediately, everything turned around me again. Sighing, Seugmin gave me a sweet smile, advising me not to move so much. Exhausted, lulled by the water sound, I closed my eyes and fell asleep, until I wake up and see my neighbor.

Minho...

He was above me, looking at me with such confusion in his beautiful cat eyes that it had completely turned me upside down. I didn't know if he was real or an illusion... I may have been delirious because of that blow on my head but suddenly, I started crying like a child waking up from a terrible nightmare.

Then, realizing he was about to leave, I hugged him. Even though I was shaking and I looked pitiful like that... I couldn't let him go. It had been an unstoppable impulse but I wanted to free me from that weight making me sick since yesterday. I wanted to apologize, to fix things. But Seugmin had arrived before I could say anything.

Then, someone else had entered the infirmary...

I was sitting on the bed, not daring to look at my student after hugging him like that when my eyes met those of Seo Changbin, the only colleague I still hadn't met...

Instantly, I almost stopped breathing.

Him?

It was really him?!

.

Hey, Jisung... That's a joke, right? Tell me that's a joke... 😨😨😨

.

Damn it...

How was that possible?! Him?! Here? Was the world that small?!

Second after second, I stood motionless, eyes anchored in those of the sports teacher who, like me, seemed totally lost. None of us dared to speak, which made the situation even heavier, but also more suspicious...
