The faint rays of the sun penetrated the window of the room about right into the face of a young man who was still lying twisted on his bed. The radiation woke him up from sleep accompanied by the sound of his cell phone alarm clock.
He got out of bed and started getting ready to go to school. The white uniform and dark blue pants were sheathed. A name tag written 'Kim Junkyu' was worn on his clothes. Then, he checks the condition of his hair and face in the mirror to make sure he looks neat. Finally, smile.
That's the habit for a Kim Junkyu. Before leaving the house he would definitely check his smile in front of the mirror. For him, a smile is the most important thing. After being satisfied with everything, he went downstairs. As usual, the room was still dark. His mother was still asleep on the couch. Bottles of soju fill the living room. The
very strong smell made him feel a little dizzy.
"I'll go first!" Junkyu shouted hoping his mother would hear him.
I'm too sad to cry, too high to get up
Don't even try 'cause I'm scared to f*ck up
Don't like to talk, I just lay in my bed
Don't even try to go out with my friends
Lied to my doctor, she knew I was fakin '
Gave me some pills, but I'm too scared to take 'em
I try and I try, but I'm too sad to cry
Sasha Alex Sloan's song 'Too Sad To Cry' is what always accompanies Junkyu's days. Especially today which was his first day at the new school. A few days ago, he and his mother moved to this neighborhood. Finally ... they managed to move.
Junkyu breathed in the fresh air happily. The sound of birds chirping as if they were accompanying him to school.
"Annyeong." Junkyu's steps stopped when he saw someone suddenly stop right in front of him.
"Annyeong." Junkyu replied politely. Junkyu just smiled at the man and tried to leave but he was stopped. When Junkyu went to the right he went to the right. Junkyu to the left and he to the left. Junkyu tried to look at the man but the man replied with a sharp stare.
"You ...." the man began to speak.
"You're not from here, are you?" Said the man. Junkyu was stunned for a moment. His brain doesn't seem to function temporarily.
"Oh ... yes. Our family just moved here a few days ago." Junkyu replied with a sweet smile.
"I should have never seen you. So ... you're a new student, aren't you?" Said the man.
"Yes ..." Junkyu replied. How can this guy know?
"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Jihoon, Park Jihoon." The man held out his hand to shake Junkyu's hand.
"Oh, I'm Kim Junkyu." Junkyu also held out his hand.
" Let's go.."
"Let's go?" Junkyu asked in surprise.
"If I leave the new student alone, I'll probably get hit with Hyunsuk hyung." Jihoon pulled Junkyu's hand and started walking.
The situation became very quiet asthey walked. Each locked his mouth and did not want to speak. There were times when Junkyu thought of starting a trial but he himself did not know what to try.
Even so his heart felt a little happy. This is the first time ... he's walking with someone to go to school.
"Well you keep those earphones." Jihoon suddenly spoke.
“Yes?” Suddenly? So far no one cares if he brings earphones to school. In fact he heard it throughout the class.
"Did you see the man at the fence?" Jihoon pointed his finger at a student in front of the school fence.
The man was neatly dressed from head to toe everything looked in order. The Perfecto Black Leather Watch by Massa Collection completes her outfit. Based on his watch and shoes ... he must be the son of a millionaire.
"He's Hyunsuk, Choi Hyunsuk. If you meet him, you better run if you don't want to enter the discipline room." Jihoon began to straighten his clothes and hair.
"The man is the son of a CEO who holds the second largest company in Korea. The man ... can't be brought up for discussion." Jihoon looked at Junkyu and shook his head.
"So if you find him, run." Jihoon continued.
"Have you saved it yet? Let's go in." Jihoon pulled Junkyu's hand.
They both walked very fast past Hyunsuk. Jihoon from the beginning has looked the other way to avoid 'eye contact' with Hyunsuk. While Junkyu tries his best to see Hynsuk's face but is stopped by Jihoon.
"Park Jihoon!" Jihoon's legs froze when his name was called. No need to turn around, he already knew who was calling his name.
"Oh, Hyunsuk hyung. Why?" Jihoon turned towards Hyunsuk.
"Tie the shoelaces neatly. You'll fall." Hyunsuk said pointing his ruler towards Jihoon's shoes. Hearing Hyunsuk's verse made Jihoon relieved. Finally he was able to breathe again. Junkyu just laughed at Jihoon's behavior.
They both continued their journey towards the classroom. However, Junkyu's feet suddenly stopped stepping when he saw many female students standing in front of their classroom door.
Why are they crowding in front of his class?
"Don't worry. It's a normal scene every morning." Jihoon said when he saw Junkyu who started to tremble.
"Did you see that man?" Jihoon once again pointed his finger at a man who was sitting. The seats are surrounded by female students.
"Who is he?" Junkyu asked.
"He is Watanabe Haruto."
"Watanabe Haruto?"
"He is the son of a famous artist. His mother and father are successful artists. His very handsome face has been inherited from both his parents."
"Artist?"
"Yes. But their identities are kept secret to keep their children safe. Hyunsuk's parents are good friends with them." Jihoon explained again. Junkyu just nodded a sign of understanding.
"Ready? We're going in 3, 2, 1 ..." Jihoon suddenly held Junkyu's hand and started counting.
“Wait a minute!” Junkyu shouted but was ignored by Jihoon. They both began to penetrate the women who were swarming in front of the classroom door. The situation is very crowded. Junkyu gripped Jihoon's hand tightly so as not to let go. Everyone pushed each other to get into the classroom.
..................................................
"Finally we managed to get past them." Jihoon said. His voice was hoarse because of fatigue after wading through the human river just now.
"Yes ..." Junkyu replied with a smile. Honestly this is quite fun. Jihoon walked over and sat in his seat. He looked at Junkyu and waved, telling Junkyu to sit behind him. Junkyu just smiled and walked towards the seat Jihoon showed him.
“Does this place belong to anyone?” Junkyu asked Jihoon who was in front of him.
"Don't worry. He won't come." Jihoon replied. Junkyu nodded and started removing the book from the bag.
PAK!
Suddenly someone hit Junkyu's desk hard. Junkyu was shocked to hear that very loud sound. He looked up to see the man hitting his desk.
"Who ..."
"This is my seat." Junkyu hadn't finished his verse yet, the man had already intercepted.
