Chapter Text
Jisung took a deep breath, adjusting his backpack. He was a little bit early, he knew it, but it was better than being even a little bit late considering it was his first day. And a new college. He pulled his snapback deeper in his head and turned the volume of his music higher, wanting to drown any other sound around him. Familiar faces were hard enough for him and now there was a whole ass school and all the new students - or well, old students. He was the new face. You know, since it was his first day in there and all that jazz. Jisung shivered even from the thought alone of how many stares he was going to get today. He took a deep breath, pulled out his famous (as his old friends used to say) smile and started walking towards the big, ominous front door. It was going to be okay.
It was not going to be okay. Jisung had gone to the student counselor getting his schedule and a map for the school. When he was walking out of the office he walked straight into a door. After that he almost tripped on the stairs and broke his neck. And now he was lost. Fuck, it was definitely not going to be okay, in any shape or form. Jisung let out a loud groan, letting his forehead bang against a locker. It seemed to be empty, at least judging by the echo and Jisung could feel the vibrations travelling through his body.
"Hey, dude... are you okay?" a quiet, deep voice asked making Jisung whip his head around. He wasn't prepared to face the person. The voice and the face which was staring right back at him didn't match. Like, not at all. That deep ass voice couldn't have come out of that petite, freckled face.
"No. My morning has been a living hell. I've embarrassed myself, almost killed myself and on top of that I'm lost", Jisung whined, throwing his hands in the air showing how desperate he was. The other boy chuckled.
"Ah, you must be a new student then? Don't worry, I'll help you to find where you need to go. The teachers are usually very strict but because you're new I'm sure they're gonna forgive you." The guy offered Jisung his hand, smiling. "Lee Felix at your service." Jisung took the offered hand, shaking it with a matching smile.
"Han Jisung."
"So, Han Jisung-ssi, what year are you on? We all have homeroom for the first day."
"Ah, I'm a sophomore. What about you? Wait, if the teachers are as strict as you say how come you're out here? Are you one of those dudes who do nothing else but cause trouble??" Felix let out a giggle - Jesus Christ I'm gay Jisung thought - and shook his head.
"Nah, I'm the worst boy around here" he said with a smile that could rival a sun. Jisung narrowed his eyes at the other.
"Pretty boys like you don't cause trouble", he said. At that Felix let out a loud laugh.
"You're right, I'm not one to cause any trouble around here. At least not alone" he said winking. "But yeah, I had to take some papers to the student counselor, what a pain in the ass am I right?" He started walking forward, signaling Jisung to follow him.
"Oh yeah, I'm a sophomore too. We're gonna have so much fun!" Felix said, turning towards Jisung and clapping his hands together. "I'm gonna introduce you to my friends who are in our year! There's Hyunjin and Seungmin. Hyunjinie and I have dance class together and Seungmin is taking vocal classes which are right next to our practice rooms! Oh, do you dance or sing? This is gonna be so much fun! When's your birthday??" Jisung laughed at Felix and the flood of information he was getting.
"Ah, I don't really dance or sing, but sometimes I like to scribble some words down, and kinda rap?" Jisung said, even though it sounded more like a question. "And my birthday's on September 14." Felix gasped at that.
"No way! Mine's September 15!" Jisung gaped at Felix.
"We're practically twins! You, my sir, are gonna be my new best friend!" he declared loudly, swinging his arm around Felix's shoulder.
"Oh my god I told you this is gonna be amazing! And you need to meet Chan and Changbin hyung, they sometimes write and produce songs and they rap too!"
Okay, maybe it really was going to be okay.
"Lee Yongbok, you're late. What took you so long?" a stern looking teacher, professor Min asked when Felix and Jisung finally arrived at the right classroom. Jisung looked around looking confused. Yongbok? Who was that?
"I'm sorry professor Min. I ran into a new student, Han Jisung while I was returning back. He was lost so I offered to get him to the right class" Felix answered bowing. Jisung hurriedly followed the gesture, muttering an apology.
"Ah, yes. Yongbok, you can go and sit down. Han Jisung-ssi, please step in front of the class and introduce yourself." Jisung gulped, eyes following Felix - Yongbok? - for a second before he stepped next to the professor, facing the class and ohmygod so many people were staring at him. He straightened his back and bowed down.
"Hello, My name is Han Jisung and this is my first day in here. Please take care of me!" He got up slowly, eyes finding Felix's who sent him a grin and a thumbs up. Professor Min nodded approvingly.
"You can go sit down next to Seungmin. Seungmin! Please rise your hand!" After that a hand shot up next to Felix. Jisung bowed slightly before moving towards Seungmin. He sat quietly down next to the brownhaired boy with round glasses. They nodded at each other and so began Jisung's first day - for real this time. He turned slightly to his left, finding Felix smiling at him and he couldn't help but smile back. Maybe this wasn't going to be a catastrophic year after all. Or at least he hoped so.
