Chapter Text
Wooyoung was the typical 17 year old teenager. He had group of friends that he hang out with, his classmates liked him and overall his life was good. He wasn't a top student but also his grades weren't bad. And on the contrary to most people his age he liked going to school.
Maybe not the aspect of having exams but the rest was okay.
It was 7:20 a.m. and he already was in a classroom. That was the bad thing about living in a place where there are only a few buses and not having driving licence.
But Wooyoung was content because in the remaining time he could do homework that he didn't do yesterday. The thing that changed recently with him being in school so early was that he wasn't alone in the classroom.
Since the beggining of the second semester there was one more person with him.
The outcast, as everyone said about him, who never talked with anyone but had really good grades. He always wore hoodies and jeans, even in summer and never changed for PE with the rest of the boys.
Wooyoung found it unexpexted but never really tried to ask him about it or anything.
He was deep in his thoughts when he heard a loud shout and Yeosang with Yunho entered the classroom.
They were his childhood best friends so all three of them knew each other for over 12 years. There were no secrets between them. When they entered high school Yunho met Mingi they fell in love and started dating.
This is how they became a group of four best friends and Wooyoung was really happy with the outcome. Mingi fitted perfectly with them and had the same sense of humour as him.
They were in the same class for two years but in the senior year Mingi got to class A, Yeosang to class C and Wooyoung stayed in class B with Yunho. Even though they got seperated they spend every break together and meet outside of school.
"Woo!!! You won't believe what we just saw!"
Yunho ran to him and sat on the table Yeosang was right behind him. "Remember Yeri? She is the student council and is in the same class as Yeosang?"
"Yeah I remember. But what's the deal with her?"
Everyone in third year knew who Yeri was. She was the best student council president this school had. She changed menu in school cafeteria to make sure that it was edible and got rid of the bad smell in changing rooms (no one knew how she did it). She was basically a godness.
Wooyoung got to talk with her a few times and she was also really nice.
"Since the beginning of the third year she got so many love confessions from different guys right. And everybody thought that she was taken and all. So now picture that: me and Sang were going by the cafeteria about 5 minutes ago and there in one of the seats is our president with no one else but Ryujin from class D holding hands! And accidentaly we heard that Yeri confessed to her today. And guess what? She said yes!!!"
Wooyoung was really shocked by it. He didn't know that Yeri was into girls and that she was confident enough to confess. But good for her. They are going to become the power couple in school now.
"Both of them were smiling so much. Even I thought it was cute." Yeosang grinned at them while saying it.
"Think about all the cute things they'll do together and we'll get to see it! Ohh...I need to tell Mingi about it."
And with that Yunho was out of the classroom calling his boyfriend and being his romantic self. "Yunho is going to make a fan account for them." Yeosang said with sarcasm and eyed Wooyoung text book.
"When you'll be done with this subject bring this book to my classroom. I have no idea what it is about and you are already halfway done."
"Did you look closely into this book?"
Yeosang looked at it and sighed. "Why are you writing random letters? And I really thought that you were good in at least one thing. I was wrong." Wooyoung only rolled his eyes and looked at Yeosang.
"There is no one in this class who is good at english. This is why our teacher makes easy tests. She wants to be sure that everyone passes."
"There is someone who is good at it." Yeosang looked in direction of the guy who was sitting in the corner with hood over his head.
"Choi San? The outcast?"
Wooyoung couldn't believe what he just heard. How could Yeosang know about it. As if his friend read his mind he said, "We sometimes study together in the library. He helps me with Math and English. And Wooyoung it's not nice to call him an outcast. He is actually pretty cool he just doesn't like people."
"Since when do you guys hang out and why I didn't know about it?"
"Don't be such a drama queen. We started in the beginning of this year. I got to know about him a little. Did you know that he has a younger brother? I even asked him to hang out with you guys but he prefers not to."
Wooyoung looked in the direction of the boy who was staring at his phone. In the meantime Yunho came back and they started to talk about different things untill Yeosang needed to go to his classroom. During this whole time Wooyoung's eyes never left San.
It was already lunch break and the four of them sat in their usual place. As they predicted Yeri and Ryujin were the talk of the whole school. Mostly in positive aspects.
Mingi and Yeosang started to argue about something and Yunho just ate his lunch laughing from time to time.
Wooyoung looked around the cafeteria to see where San is but he never spotted him. After this morning he became really interested in what kind of person Choi San is.
When he and Yunho got back to their class the black haired boy was already there. Sitting in the same position as in the morning and looking at his phone.
"Hey! You coming?" Wooyoung after hearing Yunho voice realised that he froze. He moved quickly to his seat but he catched San's gaze on him.
After classes Yunho went to basketball practise to cheer for Mingi and Yeosang had his debate club so Wooyoung had to go to bus stop alone.
Before he was able to get out of school he saw Yeri talking to San.
He didn't know that they knew each other and what's more is that San answered her questions. Wooyoung never saw him talk with anyone except for teachers. He didn't hear what they were talking about but Yeri patted San on his arm and he smiled at her.
And wow.
His smile was really pretty. Wooyoung was starstruck. And he is going to blame this on why instead of going home he followed Choi San to his house.
Wooyoung walked for over 30 minutes and only then he saw San entering an old looking building. Why he didn't take a bus when he lived so far away?
Wooyoung has no idea what is he supposted to do now. There is no point for him to walk back but he also can't just knock on the door and ask about San.
He walked around the house and saw a back entrance that was wide open. There was also a small hole in the fence. Too small for Wooyoung to get through but big enough for an animal or a child.
He climbed the fence and walked in. He didn't know why he did it. He just felt that he needs to do it.
He walked into one room that seemed to be a small kid place and then he remembered what Yeosang said, that San had a little brother. He took one more step and froze. Right in front of him was a boy that looked about 5 years old staring at him.
He wanted to run away but before he could do anything the kid said, "Hi, are you my hyung friend?"
Wooyoung didn't know what to say or if even say anything but he couldn't just leave after the boy saw him. "Hello...I'm your brother classmate. I'm Wooyoung."
The kid smiled and showed all his teeth.
"Hello Wooyoung hyung i'm Jongho and i'm 6 years old. Do you want to play with me?"
Before Wooyoung could answer San appeared out of nowhere. "What are you doing here?"
It was the first sentence that the boy said to him. Wooyoung didn't know what to say he couldn't just answer that he followed him and basically broke into his house.
"Hi...listen I didn't mean anything bad I just..."
Before Wooyoung could end his explanation there was a loud bang and the entrance door swang open. He got a glance of a middle age looking man, probably San's father, before his classmate closed the door to Jongho room.
He looked really panicked at his brother and Wooyoung.
"Jongho, hey look at me. We are going to play hide and seek now. Go to the same place that you went to last time and hide there I'll count to 50 and look for you." Jongho nodded his head and smiled at San.
Then the boy looked at Wooyoung. "Listen, get out of here. Now."
"What do you mean. Hey San? I know I shouldn't just come inside like this but I can explain. I can even talk to your father so you won't have any troubles..."
There was a sound of glass breaking in the kitchen.
"Fuck! Wooyoung I'm not joking. Get out! Now!"
Wooyoung looked at his eyes and he saw so many different emotions but the leading one was fear. He wanted to say something but San was quicker. "Jongho, Wooyoung is going to play with us today. You two can go hide together." Jongho was ready to go he shouted 'yes' took Wooyoung's hand and dragged him to the back entrance that he used to get into the house. He looked at San for last time but he was already locking the door after them.
