Yung walked slowly through the corridor.It was already ten am in the morning but most students where still idling outside.Those are the benefits of varsity life.Everyone follows their own schedule.Anway even though he is new, he is not likely to ask for anyone for directions around the school.He should not have transferred but then again it doesn't seem like he has much of a choice..Not after what happened, he scholed there to avoid something here but when he was at his previous school something far worse happened so he couldn't just continue there like nothing happened.Plus everyone blamed him so much that he even began to actually believe their lies..
As he walked through the corridors , he reminisced to the past times.He swallowed the lump that has coiled up in his throat.Even though he had moved away, even though it's all in the past, the scars will forever shall.Afterall they were and will forever stay friends
He closed his eyes and readjusted the handles of his back, tightning it to himself.
"Breathe, just keeping breathing" he said to himself slowly as he stood there with eyes closed.His therapist kept saying these lines and they somehow had a soothing effect.They surged deep into his soul and tamed the raging inferno that was digesting him alive.So him saying this he felt the tension inside himself subside.It helped but it was only temporary.Its atleast better that he can manage it.
Lee Chan emerged out of one of the corridors with Jang HyeJi.They had just left a civil engineering lecture together. They are going to be partners for a project so they have to spent an awful lot of time together but to be honest,Chan was getting fed up with HyeRi s voice.There comes a time when enough is enough and he was reaching this epitome.
Anyway he looked at his nails as HyeRi was busy reading requirements of their project.Honestly speaking does she think that he is going to hear whatever she is saying as they walk through the corridors.The least she could is wait until they are sitting but it looks like she doesn't have that patience.She was so focused in reading the handout that she didn't even notice the lack of interest by Chan..She even brainstormed the whole project as she read out the outline..
Chan rolled his eyes that he probably twisted his eye muscle.Anyway five seconds later, he spotted a familiar figure.He smiled instantaneously and ceased walking
HyeRi snapped her fingers at Chan as she noticed the momentary stop
"Chan Chan, are you listening to me..helooo" She kept snapping her fingers.As she was still snapping her fingers Chan ran ahead and he didn't even alert HyeRi.HyeRi just looked at Chan like he has lost his mind.She clapped her hands outwards and turned to walk in the other direction.She might as well go start the project..
"Hey!! Twinkle toes",Chan startled Yung from his position making him quickly open his eyes and blink away the tears.Chan had sneaked behind and ruffled his hair then he proceeded to place his arm around Yung..
"My gosh, we must be fated.You look so lovely as ever.Where you headed",Chan had slightly bent over to look at Yung s face.He was smiling so hopelessly, almost like he had been hoping to see Yung ever since yesterday.But the truth of the matter is he would have loved to see anyone to escape from HyeRi but seeing twinkle toes is just the icing on the cake
"Come on now.Say something..You know I haven't heard your voice ever since I met you" Chan pretended to sulk as he walked steadily with his arm around Yung.Yung had clenched his fist so much his knuckles were turning pale.Its not that he wanted to punch Chan, it's that it's what happens when he is uncomfortable.

Yung was going to be late unless he finds a shortcut to where ever the faculty of science and technology is...Wait does this tree stump hugging hi know where to go..He could ask him but he doesn't look like someone Yung can ask for help...But then again does he have a choice.
"Sheesh, you sure do know how to ignore someone.Tell you what I will do any favour you want if you say something, even your name is fit",Chan beeged playfully.Actually if he wanted to know the identity of Yung he could just ask anyone but then again, Yung seems like he is going to be an interesting fella so him voluntarily telling Chan his name would be a pretty sightful scenario.
"Fine you can ignore me but we both know you are going to need my help somewhere,it just a matter of time",with that Chan removed his hand from Yung s shoulder and crossed them over his chest, He fluttered his eyes and then proceeded slowly in the direction he came..He left Yung there standing like a lost puppy and walked away like a lioness but somehow felt like he had failed mercilessly. Gosh is he losing his tou....
"Kim TaeHyung",Yung murmured with his teeth clenched..
Chan almost burst out laughing but choked down the laugh.He felt like he just triumphed over a mountain.He punched the air twice and returned his arms back to crossing over his chest.He regained his composure but he was still happy.Their backs were to each other with some space in-between but still close enough
"What, did you say something" he asked sarcastically with a hint of cute mockery in his voice,without turning his back.He knew that Yung propably won't repeat what he said but if he does,there is no way that Chan would be able to hold back his excitement.
Chan was right,there is no way that TaeHyung is repeating what he said..His dignity is not going to die like this
Chan walked back to Yung and stood in front of him just like yesterday.He bent his head to try looking underneath Yung s bang.He was grinning from ear to ear.He saw that Yung had firmly closed his eyes and clenched his fist, he even lifted up his shoulder blades and tinnied his body like he was about to squeeze through a small space.It was so adorable..Chan wanted to laugh but he is pretending to be magestic however that is proving to be hard.
He was looking at Yung so adorably that he felt the need to ruffle his hair but as he reached over, Yung opened his eyes and looked directly into Chan s eyes..This is the first time twinkle has ever looked at him and his gaze is so chilling.Chan s smile melted for a moment but soon he forced it back and he retracted his hand.
"Okay, now tell me where you are going.i will most definitely help" He placed his hand on his clavicle as he said his and nodded like a good servant..
TaeHyung opened his bag and pulled out a piece of paper.There is still no absolute way that he is saying anything..So if he wants help this is the best solution. He showed the paper to Chan and watched him read it
'Kim TaeHyung, Faculty of Science And Technology, Bachelor of Computer Science'
"Uhmm sorry twinkle I don't kno.." Before he could finish talking Yung stormed past him and proceeded ahead.He was fuming!!
Chan pirouetted and looked at him and chuckled softly..
"Am joking,,Please don't be mad..Yunnniee" He called out to Yung who didn't seem to care but was getting even even more flustered the second...
He chased after him and hugged from behind once more and they walked towards the faculty..
As soon as Yung felt Chan s body on him ,he tensed once more..He flinched to shake off Chanes arm but this only made him tighten his grasp.Yung gave up his efforts and submitted to this inhumane physical contact...
This became a ritual for the next five days, Chan would wait for Yung to emerge into the corridor and he would hug him all the way to class.And after class, Yung would find Chan waiting outside.Afterwards he would walk Yung all the way to the cafeteria, have lunch together and then back to his dorm block but he never went in.On the first two days, Yung wished there some way he could escape him but he can't because he still hasn't gotten used to the school grounds.With time he got used to having someone ruffle his hair evey morning, someone who waited outside class everyday and all this entire time nity once did Chan loose his enthusiasm.It was like he was a Donsaeng and he was warming up to it..They never talked much just Chan making pep talk and Yung responding with gestures and onomatopoeic sounds.
Chan didn't care,it was only a matter of time until Yung becaumes used to having him near.
On Saturday, Yung spent it coped up in his room.Sanha had left early and just gave Yung a quick 'see you later'.Yung just nodded and carried on with his mediocre assignment.He has always had the habit of being clued on his PC because Data structures and algorithms is no cakewalk but it seems as if Yung is one of those rare kinds, the ones where beauty actually has brains.. In order three hours he had managed to bypass an encrypted corrupted file on a another domain that wasn't even connected to his PC not mention having a functional operating system...And now he has nothing to do except eat snacks that Chan had bought him during the week..Maybe he can try hacking into Chan s phone..Nah that's too predictable..
He walked over to his bed and laid supine.He was wearing shortsThe bag of crisps was still pretty full so he laid on the bed crunching on them.He still had his reading glasses on as he laid on the bed.He looked at the ceiling and started to add multiples of fifteen to the reciprocals of complex numbers. There is a high possibility he is just saying nonsense but then again the numbers he is saying are afterall imaginary.. Before he got to the twetinth calculation he was already snoozing. The chip bag was in his abdomen and the glasses still on his face...
