"𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞."

5- New Student

POV:

Wednesday, You were in your lecture, you were taking notes as your teacher continued to ramble about the topic, it sounded like a bunch of nonsense to you since you weren't listening that much. Suddenly, a familiar man walked into the lecture. The professor stopped what she'd had been doing and introduced the man to the class. It was rare to ever see any new students in this college since it's so expensive and advanced that nobody could even come here. The man takes a seat next to you, his face was a certain handsome that made him so familiar.

You couldn't help but stare at his spectacular features. The guy noticed you were staring but looked too shy to say anything, but he had definitely noticed your profound eye contact. You wondered if you should say hi to him, but then again, you are also shy. Why not come out of your comfort zone? Be an extrovert for this one time.

"Hello?" You say hesitantly with a slight mumble. The guy suddenly turns towards you to meet your face. Is that who you think it is? ..Is that hyunjin? The guy that saved you from vampires? Since when does he come to this college..? You thought you'd never see him again or for a while ever since that crazy situation that you got yourself into a week ago.

"Hello? Hyunjin spoke with a hint of confusion. His tone to you gave off. "we are just strangers." Type vibes. You wondered why he was acting that way. You felt a little discouraged to speak with him now. But it made no sense to you. He saved you from vampires and had some deep engaging conversations with him as if your life didn't almost get taken away from you with your intrusive thoughts, you were unable to read his intentions with you at this moment.

You stayed silent as his face turned into a restive gaze, more or less basically waiting for a response. You shake your head in response and just go back to making unimaginative scribbles in your note book. Damnit. You've just lost your chance to speak with hyunjin again after a week..but then again you refuse to blame yourself because he's the one suddenly acting like he doesn't know you for some reason.

Hyunjin sits in his chair with a more tense expression. He wonders why you didn't finish the conversation that you've started with him. He expected you to act least acknowledge him as your hero, it sounds entitled but it seemed like the hard truth to you. Hyunjin just stares into his notebook and doesn't pay attention like you.

Well this is awkward.

What shall you both do now? You might as well just sit in the front if he's gonna be all quiet next to you in the back. But let's be real, who actually sits in the front? The only time you'll see people there is those with terrible vision. Or the wannabe good kids. Like this is kindergarten.

When you can, somehow your eyes find their way back on hyunjin who was staring soullessly into his blank page that he hadn't flipped since he sat by you. You stare deeply into his features. You notice a cherry red diamond stud in his ear. When you looked at it, its shine reflected brightly in your eyes, causing you to look away and rub your eyes. The shiny coating on the stud was blinding.

You nearly were rubbing your eyes for a good minute. It was a strong flash. You were surprised that hyunjin didn't perceive the harsh light on his diamond studs. The bright shine had you light headed for the rest of the lecture. What kind earrings are those? Some expensive ones that you'd see aunties wear at the family reunion?

You couldn't help but get lost in your thoughts. His earrings made you wonder. You could have asked him if you had kept the conversation going. Well it's too late now. The next time you talk to him, you want to keep that question in the back of your mind.

You, Karina, Kai, Sana, and Felix were walking back to the usual table you sit at for lunch but suddenly in the middle conversation, you bump into a tall man. As you do so, spaghetti sauce and noodles fly all over his face and shirt. You look up in surprise and immediately recognize the face from earlier that made everything awkward in 3rd period.

No one other than hyunjin.

Hyunjin looked at you with a blank gaze, seemingly mentally trying to fight the urge to not curse the living hell out of you especially because now everyone is the cafeteria has their eyes turned on you both. Wearing white today for hyunjin wasn't very wise. His white shirt was practically covered in noodles with a little splash of red and staining pasta sauce for color.

Meanwhile you, your white air forces had mini drops of pasta sauce lingering on the laces. You immediately see hyunjin's condition and start frantically apologizing. "I'm really sorry! I'm so sorry I wasted my lunch on you!" You said sympathetically for hyunjin. You grabbed paper towels from nearby and began cleaning his clothes and face.

Hyunjin raises his hand to stop you once you start. "It's okay. It was an accident..don't beat yourself up over it." Hyunjin spoke softly, but his face slightly showed otherwise. "It looks like blood." Hyunjin mutters under his breath. You get confused by his random muttering. You don't hear what he says on the last part and quickly ask for verification on his gibberish sounding mutters.

"What did you say?"

"Don't worry about it."

Hyunjin walks out of the cafeteria and completely leaves the lunch hall to go to the dorm hall. You feel slightly guilty for ruining his clothes and sort of embarrassing him. Especially since it's his first day here. People are probably gonna start judging him and that will be his reputation.

Probably known as the "spaghetti boy". Or anything else corny to get a laugh.

You suddenly feel the need to go apologize again and make it up to him. I mean it's the right think to do. Your friends look at you with a concerned look. It's only best if you follow after him.

You put your hand up as a message "I'm gonna make things right" to your friends and you go the same path as hyunjin out the lunch hall. You watch hyunjin make a corner. It feels stalkerish to be following him since the silence is so loud. You go to reach for his shoulder as he turns a corner but suddenly when you turn right after him you suddenly don't see his figure in the halls anymore.

Confused, you start searching around the halls for him but no sight. How can he just disappear like that? There's no way humanly possible you can disappear from a hall that quickly under 2.5 seconds. It's not possible. Even if he tried to go that fast you'd see him running. Or at least hear his fast footsteps. But there's nothing.

You are completely alone. He just disappeared. How can this be?

How can he just be gone..?
