6

Seonghwa enters the hall with an intimidating look plastered on his face. The students in the hall focused on him for a few seconds before continuing what they did just now.

Hongjoong and hyurin gave him a perplexed look when he walks closer towards them.

Hyurin nudged hongjoong's arm as she raised her eyebrow, "Damn that's hot" she whispered. Hongjoong gave her a dirty look before muttering 'gross' and crossing his arms. Both of them crossed their arms as Seonghwa finally came and sits on the floor and hongjoong trailed after him.

"what, I'm taking care of two babies? Why are you guys sitting? What happened? I know both of you are like two peas in a pod but I exist you kno- "

Her words got cut off when hongjoong grabbed her wrist, pulling her down to seat with them. She is now between the two boys, her crush that she adores for years and her best friend. "hwa should we use tape or stapler to shut her off?" hongjoong asked sarcastically while leaning back with both of his arms behind. Seonghwa did the same before reply, "What about candle wax?"

She scoffs at his reply and turn her body to the back and face them, "are YOU SERIOUS, CANDLE WAX? THAT'S VIOLENCE! HAVE YOU SEEN DEATH BELL? THAT'S SOME TRAUMATIZED SCENE SHIT" she dramatically rants.

Hongjoong had to cover her mouth before she adds more scene, "we're just joking, chill out"

Seonghwa laughs at her explosive rant while hitting hongjoong's shoulder. Poor boy who suffered to endure the pain while the other two laughs.

The 3 of them had fun, talking and laughing with each other. Even hyurin forgets her feeling for Seonghwa on a split second since she's too mesmerized with the atmosphere now.

"WATCH OUT!" somebody yelled. She closes her eyes waiting for any impact on her but she didn't feel anything. No pain, no hits.

Am I in heaven already?

"open your eyes dumbass, Seonghwa saved you." Hongjoong deadpans and she slowly opened her eyes to see hongjoong only sitting, Seonghwa was not there.

Hongjoong gesture his eyes to the front, she then turned her body behind to see Seonghwa's standing with his back facing her. he saved me she murmured; she couldn't help but touched at his move.

Before the ball had hit her back, Seonghwa ran and protected her from getting hit. And he slams the ball back to them before shouting 'Be careful next time!' to the players.

"you okay?" he taps her shoulder and she nodded. "thank you..." she said, Seonghwa waves his hand and sits back to his position, next to hongjoong. "It's fine,"

Hongjoong who is irritated at the event happening right now, clears his throat deliberately. Hyurin who was busy having the time of her life stops when hongjoong did that. She sides glares at hongjoong for ruin her moment meanwhile Seonghwa tilts his head, confused as ever.

-

A short-haired girl waits nearby the entrance of the school, feeling nervous and excited since it's the first time she hangs out with someone other than Seonghwa and her closest friends, Hyurin. The girl who she never knows, the girl who had a bad reputation which all school blacklisted her. everyone know how she is, of course nara have to be nervous and scared.

"Hey!" a girl voiced called out to her and nara turns her head to see hyurin walks closer to her.

Hyurin latches her arm around nara and starts dragging her to the ice cream shop.

-

"which flavor do you like?" hyurin asked as she scans the ice creams inside of the glass. Nara shrugged, "Anything but mint chocolate is an exception,"

Hyurin gasps dramatically before looking up at her, "we're definitely getting along together!" she squeals and nara just laugh.

"can I have chocolate chip cookie dough, 2 scoops in a cup please..." she orders as the server nods, giving her a sweet smile. "I'll have the same one as her, please," nara says and when she's about to pay, hyurin stops her and pays first.

"..thank you" nara mutters before taking their ice cream, hyurin smiled and both of them went outside to take a walk while eating. The surrounding between them was awkward but delightful with ice creams melting their mouth.

As they walk through the park, nara couldn't help but feel like she has done something wrong, this hang out is wrong as if it has an intention.

-

"don't you know falling in love makes you stupid?" hongjoong states emotionlessly, scrolling through his phone.

Seonghwa looks at him, completely baffled at his sudden question-alike. "Falling in love doesn't makes you stupid, the person you're in love with, does makes you stupid." Seonghwa answers as hongjoong smiles, satisfied with his answer.

Both of them are now in their own apartment, they live together with the other 6 idiots but currently, only them are now available as the others are having group class or whatever. they're in a living room, with the tv playing random channels but no one is even watching it, as they're just playing with their phones on their own world.

Seonghwa suddenly puts his phone down and looks at hongjoong who is still busy with whatever he is seeing inside his phone, "do you think hyurin did something to nara?" worry was shown in his eyes. Hongjoong looks at him before letting out a small sigh, "why would she 'did something' to nara?" he emphasizes.

Seonghwa whined in annoyance before sitting straight in front of hongjoong, "You know how hyurin was-"

"was, Seonghwa. It's in the past." Hongjoong cuts him off and continue scrolling his phone back.

"when it comes to hyurin, you defend her. You like her or something?" Seonghwa asked, disgusted look appeared on his face. "well she's OUR friend, Seonghwa"

"yeah, she is, but I don't protect for all her wrongdoings." He deadpans as hongjoong stays silent. Hongjoong know what he meant by her wrongdoings.

They hate her. they despise her. except for hongjoong and jongho. They despise for her past but didn't bother to ask her why she did. They didn't see her trying to change. More specific, Seonghwa didn't see her trying to change. Seonghwa despises her without a reason.

'If hyurin heard this, she'll be shattered.' Hongjoong reflects.

"do you really hate her that much, huh?" hongjoong asked, still tapping on his phone. Seonghwa turns to him, his expression shows nothing but empty. He was trying to find the right words to answer him.

Hongjoong scoffed. "just the same like the others. Hating on someone without a reason," he says before stood up, leaving him alone.

As hongjoong is about to stepping out, Seonghwa utters, "I have my own reason, joong. I don't hate people without a reason."

With that, hongjoong leaves the apartment, disbelieve at seonghwa's reason.

-

"where are you?!" hongjoong screams when hyurin answered his call, making the girl flinched, moving away from her phone. She curses under her breath before answering his question, "On my way to my usual place, why?"

Hongjoong breaths out in a relief, "Oh thank god. Where's Nara?"

"She went home already" she says. Hongjoong stays silent as he remembers Seonghwa's phrase just now.

"I'm on my way there, wait for me." Hongjoong then ends the call before giving her a chance to reply.
