Chapter Text
The day on Wēili Community University started peacefully but it didn't last long. Soon enough students came out of their dormitories and hallways were filled with people and suddenly another wild day started.
It was now around 3 p.m. and the corridors are still swamp by students trying to go to their last class for today or are going to their clubs or organizations for their after school activities, but this was not the case with Jay and his friend group, namely Sunghoon, Jake, Sunoo, Jungwon and Ni-ki.
"Do you know why we're called hyung?" Ni-ki quietly muttered from behind them, worry evident in his voice as he played with his hands.
"I really don't know Ni-ki, but I'm sure it's not that much of a big deal," Jay quickly reassured not just the youngest but everyone in the group including himself.
"Yeah!" Sunghoon said, side hugging the youngest, he gave a bright smile before continuing
"It's probably just an special rescue assignment or something."
"Yeah, it definitely is," Jake agrees, positive as always, smiling brightly at everyone causing them to have a smile as well.
After the small conversation, they continue their way to their destination, which is the headmaster's office.
As they arrived, they were greeted by the sight of K, their squad captain, and his own team along with the headmaster.
"Good morning sir," Jay started as he is a team leader of their small group of friends.
"Ah, good morning, good thing you are all here," the headmaster replied "If you remember, earlier this day, your squad leader, K and his team," he continues while gesturing at the other side of the room to where the said man and his own team is situated, "conducted a special rescue assignment."
"Ahuh? Is there something wrong?" Sunoo asked confused.
"Of course not, Sunoo-ssi,"
"Then what is it though?" Jungwon asked, probably as confuse as Sunoo if not more.
"I'm going to drop the ice, I want you to take him, the new one, in your team in order for you to help him adjust and train," The headmaster said, and true to his words he really did drop the ice, not to mention bucket of cold ice as they can all feel the incoming chill through the shivers that went down their spine.
It was like they are not allowed to say no.
But of course, their curiosity got better of them and they asked the older man why.
"Hmmm, I felt like you guys are too serious, and is probably in need of someone a bit different, don't you think?"
"What do you mean too serious? We're basically balanced already." Jake said, trying to counter the older man, all six heads turn to K for helped but all they got was a shrug and an encouraging smirk.
Silence went through the room, as they were trying to silently prove their points, each side building tension, and no one know how to break it. Until Taki spoke (bless the child, he is so precious.)
"But Jake hyung, the new recruit, Heeseungie hyung is really nice, the animals said so and I can feel it too."
"Wait, can you repeat the name again?" Sunghoon asked, curiosity and shocked slipping on his tone for a second.
"Heeseungie hyung, his full name is Lee Heeseung though," Taki replied, oblivious to the confusion that suddenly rise in the room.
Jay, Jake, Sunoo, Jungwon and Ni-ki all stared at Sunghoon, they are the only people that aren't confuse.
"Yeah hyung, he is really nice, he just gave me a smile when I lifted him with my powers, usually when I do that people trash around and it makes it harder to carry them," Daniel said (another pure soul bless him), interrupting the silence that grew.
"Wait, is that really your basis of nice?" Geonu joke, looking at Daniel as he do so. Everyone try to hide their laughter as to not offend the youngest. The atmosphere suddenly lighten up a bit and everyone seems to temporarily forget about Sunghoon's slip earlier.
"Well I assume you guys are okay with the sudden assignment, then I will send you off to meet him now." The headmaster said as he signal them of the room.
"Well, let's get going. We will assist you don't worry," K, their ever reliable hyung said.
Everyone followed K out of the room, once they are outside chatters fill the atmosphere and everyone finally relaxed.
"K hyung, where's Hanbin hyung?" Ni-ki asked, finally noticing the absence of Hanbin.
"With Seon in the infirmary, he's helping with the care for Heeseung," came a reply.
"Oh, okay-- wait Seon hyung is also there?"
"Ahuh, he volunteers to assist the nurse today,"
Excited chatters follows after that, especially Ni-ki who is excited to see his two hyung, and well to see if that Heeseung is really it...
-----------///-----------
They arrived at the clinic just few moments after they left the headmaster’s office. The scene that they saw was unsurprising yet surprising to some.
What they saw is Seon fretting around the clinic as usual, as he try to tend to the guy—Heeseung’s wounds, and Hanbin is sitting beside the table smiling at Heeseung as they talked about something.
It’s really usual and unusual at the same time. Usual for Seon to fret over the wounds, and for Hanbin to calm the patient down, unusual though, for the said patient to look calm and immediately trusting.
‘Does this guy know no sense in danger?’ Jake thought as he look at the scene.
“Hi hyungs!” Taki immediately greeted, interrupting Jake’s thought.
Various hellos replied the younger as Taki, Daniel and Ni-ki all bounded together to get closer to them. The rest follows just as instant.
“Hey Heeseung, these are the guys that’s going to be your group,” K started, as he motion towards Jay, Sunghoon, Jake, Jungwon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki who came bounding as he introduce himself enthusiastically.
“Hi hyung, I’m Nishimura Riki but you can call me Ni-ki since everyone calls me that.” He said as he stretch his hand out for a handshake, and Heeseung accepts it gratefully, smiling as he do so.
“Hello, I’m Lee Heeseung,”
“Nice to meet you hyung, anyways this is Jungwon hyung, Sunoo Hyung, Jake hyung and Jay hyung,” Ni-ki replied excitedly, pointing at each member respectively.
“And finally this is Sunghoon hyung,” he continues as he points at the mentioned guy.
Heeseung looks over to where Ni-ki pointed and widens his eyes, but before he could say anything else Geonu interrupted him.
“They can introduce themselves you know, anyway Hee, even if they’re going to be your teammates you will be rooming with me and another one named Youngbin. The rooming system is by age if you’re curious by the way,”
“Oh, okay I’m fine with that,” Heeseung replied, disappointment immediately masked from before.
‘Hee? Geonu already warmed up to him? That’s new.’ Jake, Jay, Sunghoon, Sunoo and Jungwon thought looking at them confusedly, a lot of thoughts running in their head a mile a minute in their surprise.
Hanbin clapped his hands interrupting their train of thoughts, “Well now that everyone in here is familiar with each other, how about we move to the new location which is our dorm and Heesuengie’s new home,”
Everyone agreed, K and Seon helping Heeseung up, and Ni-ki, Taki and Daniel are close to them constantly conversing with random things they could talk about. Everyone does not mind and pitch in some ideas here and there, including Heeseung who is a newcomer.
‘Is it really him?’ Jake thought while looking at Sunghoon as he does so.
-----------///-----------
It was now 10 p.m. and everyone is settled in their respective rooms including Jake, Jay and Sunghoon.
“What do you guys think of the newcomer, Heeseung hyung?” Jay opened up the topic that has been bothering them since earlier events.
“I mean he is okay, doesn’t seem like he has a sense of danger though,” Jake replied.
“But the better question though, Is it him Sunghoon?”
Both Jake and Jay looked at Sunghoon’s direction as he wait for his answer.
“Yes, yes it’s him.”
