The Hoodie Boy || Yang Jungwon

#10

Y/n sat down with Kyujin and Eunchae on the bench in the hallway, the three of them discussing Jungwon's behavior.

"I really think it has to do with his family," Y/n said with a frown. "Every time I bring up the topic, he just shuts down."

Eunchae nodded in agreement. "Maybe he's going through something tough with them. It could explain why he's been so closed off and anxious lately."

Kyujin chimed in, "But we can't just keep pushing him to open up about it. Maybe we can just be there for him and let him know we're here for him."

Y/n nodded, "Yeah, that's a good idea. We don't want to make him feel uncomfortable or pressured."

The girls sat in silence for a moment, thinking about how they could be there for Jungwon without overstepping any boundaries. Suddenly, the bell rang, signaling the end of break time.

"We should get going," Y/n said as she stood up from the bench. "I'll see you guys later."

Kyujin and Eunchae waved goodbye, and Y/n made her way to her next class, still thinking about Jungwon and how she could help him.

Y/n felt bad as she saw Jungwon quickly get up and walk away without saying a word. She hurriedly picked up his books and followed him. "Jungwon, wait!" she called out as she caught up to him.

He stopped walking but didn't turn around to face her. "I'm sorry," Y/n said, handing him his books. "I didn't mean to bump into you like that. Are you okay?"

Jungwon didn't say anything. He just took his books and continued walking. Y/n tried to keep up with him, but he walked fast and didn't seem to want to slow down.

Y/n felt frustrated and confused. She didn't understand why Jungwon was so closed off and distant. She wanted to help him, but he wouldn't let her in. She sighed and decided to let him be for now. Maybe he just needed some space.

As she walked into the classroom, Y/n wondered how she could reach out to Jungwon and make him open up to her. She knew she couldn't force him to talk, but she didn't want to give up on him either. She decided to keep trying and hoped that someday Jungwon would trust her enough to share his secrets.

Y/n felt confused as she walked into her classroom, unable to shake off the encounter with Jungwon. She couldn't understand why he acted so differently towards her after she accidentally bumped into him. Was it something she did wrong? Did she offend him in some way?

She tried to focus on her class, but her mind kept wandering. She kept replaying the moment over and over again, trying to figure out what went wrong. Did she hurt him? Did he get embarrassed? Was he angry with her?

As the class ended, Y/n quickly packed her things and made her way to the door. She saw Jungwon standing outside, his hood pulled over his head, waiting for her.

"Jungwon," she called out as she walked towards him. "Are you okay? I'm sorry if I hurt you earlier."

He shook his head, still avoiding eye contact with her. "It's fine," he muttered, then turned and walked away.

Y/n couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong, but she didn't want to push him. She decided to give him some space and hoped he would come to her when he was ready.

As she walked home, she thought about how much she had come to care about Jungwon. She didn't know much about him, but she wanted to help him in any way she could. She vowed to be there for him, no matter what.

As they were walking, Jaehyun suddenly said, "Unnie, let's play a game! It's called 'I Spy'."

Y/n couldn't help but smile at her little brother's attempt to cheer her up. "Sure, that sounds like a fun game," she replied.

Jaehyun then started, "I spy with my little eye something that is green!"

Y/n looked around and noticed a tree nearby. "Is it the tree?" she guessed.

"Yes, you're right!" Jaehyun exclaimed happily.

As they continued walking, Jaehyun kept playing the game with Y/n, making her forget about her worries for a while. She was grateful for her little brother's ability to lift her mood.

When they arrived home, Jaehyun said, "Unnie, can we bake cookies?"

Y/n smiled and replied, "Of course! Let's bake some cookies together."

Jaehyun cheered in excitement as they headed to the kitchen to start baking. Y/n felt grateful for her little brother's presence in her life and the joy he brought to her.

Y/n sat on the bench, watching Jaehyun play with his friends in the playground. The sun was slowly setting, casting a warm orange glow across the park. She smiled to herself, feeling grateful for moments like these, where she could just enjoy the simple things in life.

As she watched her little brother playing, Y/n's mind drifted back to Jungwon. She couldn't help but feel confused and worried about his recent behavior. She had tried to talk to him several times, but he had been distant and cold.

Lost in her thoughts, Y/n didn't notice someone approaching her until they spoke up.

"Hey, Y/n."

Y/n looked up to see Jungwon standing in front of her, looking slightly nervous.

"Jungwon," she said, surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"I...uh...just wanted to say sorry about earlier," he said, looking down at his shoes. "I didn't mean to act so rude. I was just...having a bad day."

Y/n felt a sense of relief wash over her. Maybe there was still a chance for them to be friends.

"It's okay," she said with a smile. "Do you want to join us? We're just hanging out here for a bit."

Jungwon looked hesitant for a moment before nodding his head. Y/n's heart swelled with happiness as he sat down next to her on the bench.

As they sat there, watching the kids play, Y/n couldn't help but feel grateful for the unexpected moment of peace and happiness.

Jaehyun ran up to Jungwon and started talking excitedly about the cookies they baked earlier. Jungwon, who had tensed up moments before, visibly relaxed as Jaehyun chattered away. Y/n was relieved that Jaehyun had unwittingly diffused the tension between them.

"Did you really bake cookies?" Jungwon asked Jaehyun, his voice soft and gentle.

"Yes, yes! And Y/n helped us too!" Jaehyun exclaimed, tugging at Jungwon's sleeve. "Do you want to try some?"

Jungwon hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded. "Sure."

Y/n couldn't help but smile as she watched Jaehyun and Jungwon share cookies. Jaehyun had a way of making people feel at ease, and she was grateful for that.

After a few minutes of snacking on cookies and chatting with Jaehyun, Jungwon stood up and said, "I should probably go now. Thanks for the cookies."

Y/n nodded, feeling a little disappointed that their time together had been cut short. "See you tomorrow in class then?"

Jungwon nodded and walked away, his hood and mask once again covering his face. Y/n watched him go, wondering what it would take to get him to open up again.
