The next day came quickly and he woke up and groaned. He would be starting his project today, he knew this was going to be a bit frustrating so he was mentally preparing himself at the moment. He got dressed and walked to school. He was tired as he couldn't sleep all night because of the project, his eyes were heavy and he looked almost dead. He walked half asleep to class and sat down, he laid his head on the desk tiredly and waited for the other students. Jisung fell asleep unknowingly but realized when a student tapped him, Jisungs eyes looked at the familiar face.

Minhyuk.

Jisung sat straight up embarrassed. "W-What do you need?" he asked. Minhyuk smiled, "That's my seat. Your seat is right there." He pointed at a seat two chairs away from Minhyuk's desk. Jisung choked, and began to cough frantically. Minhyuk hit the Jisungs back softly, "You good there sungie?" Jisung put his hand on his mouth but began to cough as he nodded. He stood up and bowed as he went to his desk. He can feel the stare of Minhyuk and he felt more embarrassed but sat down. Jisung looked at the front, and put his hand through his hair. The teacher walked in with a beaming grin. "Okay this project will be after school of course! I have the questions for each group. Please come up when I call your group." She began calling groups and waiting for them to sit before announcing the next group. "Group 12." Jisung sat up and went to get the cards for the first 3 days including today. The subject shifted back to normal day schedule, they went to their class and started working.

Jisung walked to lunch, he didn't talk to anyone during lunch because he doesn't sit in the lunchroom, but today he wanted to discuss the project with the people, he had no idea what they looked like but he'll still try. Jisung walked into the group of people in the lunchroom and looked down, he was still the talk of the school. Jisung bit his lip hard, and looked up and gave a cold stare. He felt a tap on his shoulder, he turned around and saw Minhyuk, joy filled his body, he wanted to hug him. For some reason his presences gave him great comfort and made him feel less nervous. "Ah! You don't know how happy I am to see you!" Jisung said eagerly, still feeling lifted and happy. Minhyuk, taken aback, gave a small smile, "Oh is that so?" Jisung awkwardly smiled realizing his words, "I was just very nervous till I saw you." Minhyuk nodded.

"Jisung!" a familiar voice called, Jisungs head and Minhyuk's head shifted to the voice. Seungmin came running over, Jisung gave a brief smile. Seungmin stood in front of both, no one talked though. Minhyuk looked at jisung like he was wanting answers, Jisung looked at him back, his face expressed friendliness, "Minhyuk this is Seungmin, you'll meet him while doing the project." Minhyuk gave a bow and Seungmin returned one also. Seungmins face twisted, "We have another group member?" Jisung nodded, "Yeah, the teacher forgot to add him to a group so she just said group 12." Seungmin nodded.

"Oh, yeah, by the way," Seungmin looked at Minhyuk and Jisung before continuing, "I put together all the people in the group together at a table, but...Hyunjin refused." Jisung nodded, "Okay." The 3 males walked to a table, when they arrived everyone's eyes shifted at Jisung, the sounds of talking from the table stopped. Bangchan waved, "Hello Jisung!" he beamed. Jisung waved back. Minhyuk put a hand on Jisungs shoulder, Jisung looked at him and gave a genuine smile. Minhyuk looked at them all, "Hi, My name is Minhyuk. I'll be joining your group as well, let's all get along." they all stood up and bowed. The 3 boys sat down together, and everything was still quiet. Jisung ate quietly and was uneasy about the atmosphere. Seungmin looked at Chan and Chan looked at Seungmin, Minhyuk coughed and laid his head on his hand, "So where are we gonna meet? And I don't know why you guys are so quiet but we need to start talking." Seungmin looked around, "Good point, but let's start by introducing ourselves."
