Chapter 4 (1/1)

The following day during break, Jiyong was staring at Seunghyun, who was bent over his desk and writing in a notebook furiously, when he felt a slap on his head.“Ya! What was that for?” Jiyong pouted, rubbing his head. He looked up to see Taeyang standing in front of him, smirking.“That was for making me worry yesterday.” Taeyang declared rather loudly. Probably so Seunghyun hyung could hear, Jiyong thought, speaking of Seunghyun, what’s he writing so feverishly about? He glanced back at Seunghyun and noticed that he was looking their way now but instead of looking at Jiyong, he seemed to be starring daggers at Taeyang. However, Taeyang paid no mind to Seunghyun it seemed and was looking at Jiyong, waiting for some sort of response, probably an apology.“Sorry, hyung.” Jiyong had a sincere look on his face, making Taeyang relax a little. “Seunghyun only wanted to talk to me. He didn’t harm me and I don’t think he will.” Taeyang looked doubtful about that last part.“What would he want to talk to you about? That’s really odd, Jiyong. Choi never does things like that. He might be tricking you or something.” Jiyong’s eyes widened, he had never thought about that possibility before. What if Seunghyun was only tricking him into thinking he was nice and then would turn on him and humiliate him? “See, you can get where I’m coming from. So just be careful. Please, Jiyong.” Taeyang pleaded with puppy eyes. “Nothing ever turns out good when Choi Seunghyun is involved.” Jiyong only nodded, deep in his thoughts, trying to determine if this could be what Seunghyun was doing. When Taeyang pulled him into a hug, Jiyong was surprised but nonetheless reciprocated it.“I think you’ve trash talked me enough for one day, don’t you think?” Jiyong immediately ripped himself from Taeyang’s arms when he heard that voice behind him, causing the other boy to pout.“Only where it was rightfully due.” Taeyang said, glaring at Seunghyun. Growling in response, Seunghyun took a step toward Taeyang but Jiyong quickly moved in between them.“Er—don’t fight. Please.” Jiyong pulled out his super duper puppy dog eyes out on Seunghyun. They worked on almost everyone, so he figured he would try it out on him, too. Seunghyun looked torn. He kept glancing between the cute, pleading Jiyong and a smug looking Taeyang. “Please!”“Fine.” Seunghyun finally broke under Jiyong’s eyes and beseeching voice. “But I’m warning you, bastard. Stay away from me and Jiyong.” With that, Seunghyun quickly grabbed Jiyong’s wrist and started guiding him toward the door and down the hallway. Looks like he’s headed toward the same place as yesterday. After a few twists and turns, Jiyong’s suspicions were confirmed when the elder boy stopped in front of the same empty classroom as before. Why is this room always empty?, was Jiyong’s last fleeting thought before he was suddenly let go of and the door slid shut.“Why do you even talk to that asshole? Let alone believe him! He’s the one always putting these thoughts about me in your head, isn’t he?” Seunghyun seemed furious, pacing back and forth across the small room.Jiyong got a little irritated at the names he was calling his new friend. “First, stop calling Taeyang hyung those nasty words. He doesn’t deserve it. Second, he’s my friend so of course I’m going to talk to him. He’s only trying to look out for me. You probably haven’t given anyone the best impression, have you? How can you blame him for worrying when you always beat people up?” By the time he was done with his little rant, Jiyong was breathing a little harder than usual and had his fists clenched. Seunghyun had stopped pacing during this rant and was now directly in front of the smaller boy, one of the saddest looks Jiyong had ever seen was present on Seunghyun’s face.“For some reason, I thought you would be different. How cliché.” Jiyong thought he heard the older boy’s voice crack on the word different, but assumed he heard wrong.“Wha—“ Jiyong started but Seunghyun had already left, slamming the door behind him. Jiyong felt like his heart had been shattered by that slammed door.                                                                               Sorry again that it's been awhile and that it's short!
