Chapter Text
The rays of the morning sun shone through the window reflecting their light in the quiet classroom, the only noises were produced by the students walking in the hall and the pages of a book being flipped. A black haired guy sat in the back seats near the window as his eyes focused on the book he was holding.
Sehyoon liked coming to school early just to enjoy these little tranquil moments before his classmates would storm in to ruin the silence. Another reason why he would come early was because he disliked being the center of attention, whenever he would enter the room everyone would either go quiet for some seconds, steal glances at him before going back to whatever they were doing. He knows well that his classmates are intimidated by him because of some rumors that were spread about him, he just wished he could explain everything and clear his image about this, but it has already been three years so bringing it up would just be too awkward.
This is the third college year for him even though it should have been his fourth considering his age, but he spent a year working part time jobs before getting into the school to get enough money to move from his hometown to Seoul. Right now he is living by himself in a small apartment the pay isn’t too high, but his parents still give him financial support which he is really grateful for. The constant support he receives from his family is what makes him want to go on and work hard for his future at least that way he can pay them back for everything they do for him.
The silence in the room was suddenly disrupted as his fellow classmates started making their ways inside, their chitchats made Sehyoon lose his concentration as he closed the book and started looking at the scenery outside the window. As the class was filling up with students he heard a familiar laughter which made his head head turns automatically towards the door, it was the class president. The brown haired boy’s laugh radiated so much warm that it could even catch the attention of the aloof Kim Sehyoon. Class president Park Junhee made his way into the classroom as he greeted everyone, his strong sense of presence turning all the attention towards him. His warm smile combined with his gentle but sharp features was so pleasant to the eye that it would make it hard for one to divert their look form him, like it was happening to Sehyoon right now. Before he could look away he made eye contact with Junhee who smiled so bright at him that he could go blind. The black haired guy shyly looked away turning his attention towards the window.
According to Sehyoon, Park Junhee is like the sun he always shine so bright whenever he is present everyone’s mood is suddenly lifted and when he smiles it makes you forget all your worries. What about himself ? He was the opposite he was cold like the moon, he is always surrounded by a dark aura making him unapproachable. When he is present the mood always gets awkward, his quiet and mysterious self made people scared of him which resulted into self isolation.
As he was lost in thoughts a finger tapped on his desk, he diverted his attention away from the window as he turned around to take a look at the damned soul who dared disturb his peace. The frown on his face faded as it got replaced with surprise once he looked up and saw the blinding smile of the class president.
“So bright” he mumbled subconsciously making the guy in front of him looking at him confused “what?” Junhee asked and Sehyoon realized that he thought out loud, he panicked inside but shrugged it off fast and adjusted his composure “No, it’s nothing.” He said in a low tone and the other guy just nodded before putting a sheet of papers on top of his desk. “If you are interested on doing extra school activities, here’s a list of clubs that could interest you. The hours of presence will give you extra credits for the final exams so I really recommend it maybe you can also make some friends.” Junhee explained passionately but the last part ticked off Sehyoon a little ‘Do I look that lonely?’ He thought, but where’s the lie in Junhee’s words? It’s the truth he has no friends because he is unapproachable. He knows that the brown haired guy probably didn’t have mean intentions with his words, but he couldn’t help but feel bothered. He cleared his voice before answering “Oh, alright I will take a look.” He said before taking the papers, Junhee smiled and nodded at him before moving to the next desk. Sehyoon started taking a look at the paper sheets as he read the list of activities, he already made his decision to not join any of them that is until his eyes landed on the ‘dance club’. His eyes brightened because he really loved dancing it was one of his pass-time, but the brightness in his eyes faded when at the thought of interacting with others they will probably just isolate him like his classmates are already doing so he shook his head and pushed the papers away.
The next day he did his same usual routine, when classes ended he strolled towards the lunch hall. As he was walking by the corridors he heard a familiar music that made him stop in his tracks, he looked around to find the source. It was coming from a room by the other side of the wall, he walked following the sound before finding himself in front of the said room which had “dance club” written in big font on its door. That song had a special place in Sehyoon’s heart since it was the first song he learned to dance to when he was a beginner, he danced it so many times that his body still remembered the moves. The top part of the door had a glass frame so he could clearly see in the inside, he decided to peek to see whoever was dancing to that song. The guy who was dancing had his back facing towards him, but he could see him from the mirror it was no other than Park Junhee. Sehyoon was surprised because he would never think that their all mighty and perfect class president would have a thing for pop dance. Now that he remember Junhee did ask to leave the class early because of some club activities, he expected him to be in the literature club or something but who would’ve expected this. What surprised him even more was the brown haired guy’s dance moves, his moves are so sharp like they are cutting the wind but there was also this flow in it making the choreography seems easy. His body moved so well at the rhythm of the music and his facial expressions matched very well with his movements. The choreography was the same with the one Sehyoon learned but their styles were completely different while Junhee’s style was graceful like the wind, Sehyoon’s style was powerful like fire. Sehyoon couldn’t help but feel a little conscious about his dance skills as he observed the other guy. As he spaced out the door suddenly opened making him jump in surprise, he came face to face with an unfamiliar face who gazed at him confused “May I help you?” the guy asked.
Sehyoon gulped trying to find the right words to respond as the guy waited impatiently “Uh I- I- uh-“ he stuttered cursing inside his head for not being able to even form a proper sentence, while the other guy was going to lose his patience an angel came to his rescue “Sehyoon hyung!!” Sehyoon looked where his name was coming from and saw Junhee walking towards them with a blinding smile. Sehyoon sighed in relief as he was put out of the awkward situation, little did he know that all mighty Park Junhee was nothing but a trouble maker. The latter shoved away the guy that was blocking Sehyoon “Move Donghun hyung, Sehyoon is a classmate of mine” the guy called Donghun just said “oh” as he went back in the room. Sehyoon was going to excuse himself but Junhee caught both of his hands as he held them “You want to join our club right? I am so happy! I didn’t know you were interested in dancing but I am so glad you joined our club, you know we are only in four so we are lacking in members.” Sehyoon was phased out because of the sudden physical contact he wasn’t used to, only after did he realize that Junhee misunderstood his intentions so he tried to protest “No you got it wrong I—“ the happy go luck guy didn’t let him finish as he held his wrist and dragged him inside the practice room “Guys we have a new member!” He said as the three guys in the room turned to look at him, his hands started sweating as he was put on the spot. “Don’t be shy Sehyoon they are nice people.” Junhee reassured giving him that smile of his ‘Nice my ass!!’ Sehyoon thought.
This is one of the reasons why he can’t get along with people like Junhee, they are so talkative and invasive their friendly natures makes them act without taking into considerations other people feelings even if they have good intentions. He sighed and took a deep breath before saying “I am Kim Sehyoon, please take care of me.” he bowed politely, yes he decided to give up because how could he say no to that warming smile.
