Chapter Text
They first day of school is always the same. Nicholas and Euijoo together all the time, they are the supervisors, they don't need to spend too much time studying because when it gets to 6.p.m they have to go open the gates for the night class students to arrive while a bunch of steric girls from the day class scream at the top of their lungs and they questioned each other why these girls didn’t get used to seeing the night class boys.
Euijoo and Nicholas were both chosen to be the supervisors because the principal told them to do so, he basically trusted his heart and soul to them to take care of this school, since the night class is kind of not" humanly" able to be trustful.
“Hey aren’t you supposed to get them out of the way?” says Nicholas with an expression-less face, jaw clenched and arms-crossed. Euijoo looked at his estoic face unwavered about his friend temper.
“How am i supposed to? They are the strongest girls I've ever seen in my whole life, if you want to you can try to get them out by yourself” Euijoo says crossing his arms and looking judgmentally to all of those girls, a combination of really? Why are they like this? clouding his mind
“Nah, it’s okay unless they don’t get hurt” says Nicholas sighing while looking at Euijoo's side profile “don’t tell me you are looking for him”
“I am not looking for him..” Euijoo clearly was looking for someone. The way his almond eyes were scanning through people, the way he tip-toed to look around the crowd even though he was already taller than half of the school.
“I didn’t even tell you who I am talking about” says Nicholas after enphashing the word who a little bit too dramaticaly, with a grin he continues “you can’t lie Euijoo, I told you, can’t you just stop liking him? He is not like us”
Euijoo doesn’t even bother to respond, he is too busy searching for the one he is constantly thinking about...Fuma. In all of Euijoo's life he thought he will forever have a debt with the guy, since he saved his life a few years ago.
Although literally everyone in the school knows he likes him, Euijoo will never admit it.
“Fuma Hyung” Euijoo screams once he saw him in the mass of the night class that emerged through the gates.
Fuma stood distracted while talking with some other night class studeents, Nicholas squinted his eyes figuring out he was standing besides, Yudai and Taki. Euijoo eventually tired of waving his hands for attention, ran to get near him. Nicholas sighed with the view but at the same time already used to that kind of situation. “I'm sorry I couldn’t get the girls away this time” Euijoo says panting after running towards the group
“Oh Ju, it’s okay, you are doing a good job” says Fuma which makes the Euijoo open a shy smile and fluster a little
“Hi Nicholas” says Yudai which Nicholas only respondes with a wave. Yudai the leader of night class and also the one who agreed with all the school "peace-like motto" and made all the school be what it is now “ Euijoo, can I talk with the principal today? we need to sort some things out”
“Oh yeah definitely” Euijoo says but Yudai isn’t sure if he is really talking with him, because the only thing the poor boy can do is look at Fuma.
“Euijoo” Nicholas speaks in a tone that made everyone, even Euijoo, pay attention on him “take all the class students out, the sky is getting dark, and you” he points at Fuma “stay away from me”
“I was not expecting to be near you anyways” says Fuma indifferently and getting out taking Yudai alongside with him and going to talk with Taki and Maki who were already entering the building, also night class students
Not wanting to hear Euijoo's speech about kindness and being respectful, Nicholas grabs his wrist to make sure all of the class students go to their respective dorms. It was gonna be a long night, but it is still their responsability to ensure that no day class student will be in the building before the sun sets.
Once they finish all their tasks Euijoo seems way happier than normal. His almond eyes had more sparkle than usual, and his cheeks were higher than ever, he grinned like he had nothing to worry about and Nicholas observed him, his chest feeling heavy the more he looked, and looked, and looked, and wondered if anyone else could see how much he was holding his own smile.
“Why are you smiling so much?” Nichols says leaning on the school’s balcony, is not like Euijoo wasn’t a naturally happy person but it looks like he is way too happy than normal “is it because of-”
“No, it is not because of him” says Euijoo already predicting what Nicholas was going to say “I'm happy because, today was easier than I thought, there’s no lost day class student wandering at the campus, so I guess we can sleep early today”
“Again I didn't mention WHO i was talking about" Nicholas sighed as he straightened his body away from the balcony "And don’t even think about that, remember the last year when we were not careful, the girl almost died” Nicholas says whispering the last part still with an indifferent tone and Euijoo asks himself why Nicholas can’t not even pretend like he cares
“I know but...” Euijoo says sadly reminding the memories of them trying to rescue the poor girl that didn’t know – like all of the other class students- the reason that the gate has to be closed all the time, the reason why they are so strict with the time they go to their dorms, the reason why they are so protective. “Can’t you forgive them? The person that- you know, killed your-, is not like them I swear- “
“Don’t even open your mouth to talk about-” says Nicholas clearly so angry he couldn’t finish his sentence at the sudden topic, Euijoo knows that Nicholas doesn’t like to talk about what happened with his family, but mentioning it is the only way Euijoo knows how to clarify the difference between the past and the present. "I'llgo walk for a bit" Euijoo doesn't argue and let him go with a sight he thinks about everything Nicholas been through. Euijoo already gave up trying to making Nicholas be friends with the night class students, but at the same time Euijoo knows Nicholas reason to do so, and decides to not talk about the topic again.
The night just started, and the moon was bright as ever in the sky Euijoo realized as he gazed up at the sky. “What are they doing here?” Euijoo whispers looking down the balcony. There were some girls wearing the uniform of the Day class, he looks around and Nicholas seems to be too far away to go alongside with him. "I guess I'll have to do all by myself"
After almost falling on some long flight of stairs, Euijoo finally gets to the patio and walks toward the girls “Hey you can’t be here" Euijoo waved his hands in a frenzy, but he tried his best to show authority. He hated when this happened, Euijoo wasn't good at commanding, his palms started to sweat, and he hated even more when people didn't follow what he says. "You need to go to your dorms right now” He says trying his best to sound polite and not panicked
“Who are you to tell us what to do?” one of the girls says clearly annoyed “Ee are not getting out”
“If you don’t get out, you’ll get three weeks of bathroom cleaning you know that right?" says Euijoo now confident, to be fair he just made that rule up but it seemed to be working, he stood proud of himself while watching the girls discuss if it is worthy to stay there
“Ok we are getting out” says both of them while Euijoo smiles proudly of all of his threating about cleaning which is not true but they don’t need to know that. Euijoo watches them getting out, and he notice one of them have a cut in one of her hands. She is bleeding.
“You need to get out right now” Euijoo says rushing to take them out as fast as possible. His hands on their uniform trying to rush them into the building.
“We know, jeez why are you so annoying” says one of the girls totally not aware of the situation they are. With the moon this high, and the bleeding of their hands it was only a question of time.
“Hi girls” a night class student suddenly appears in the dark hall “I smelt something interesting, something I've been thirsty for a long time”
Euijoo rashly put the girls behind him
“Did you took your pills?” says Euijoo worried that the same unfortune event from last year is going to happen again. Ifhis hands were sweating before, now they are drenched. It doesn't matter how many times he goes through this, he can never make the beating of his hear disaccelerate.
“Do you really think the pills are enough for us? We need more, and we will get more, just wait, no one is taking this peace with the humans thing anymore” says the night class student with a voice so deep that made Euijoo get goosebumps
“Please go to your dorms” says Euijoo firmly turning around to look at the girls “right now” With his voice now strict as ever Euijoo said as he pushed them towards the dorms.
Euijoo watched as the girls with confused faces run, Euijoo himself didn't know he could sound that commanding. He turned to face the night class student, his eyes started to turn the yellowish color Euijoo was already used with
“If I'm not taking them, you are going to be my meal tonight” The night class student takes the opportunity to take Euijoo by his hand and put their bodies close, so close Euijoo feels the other boy’s hot breath on his skin. The night class student takes Euijoo by his hair and push it to the side which makes Euijoo do an unsatisfied noise. With Euijoo's neck more visible the night class student put his mouth close to his neck. Euijoo doesn’t know what to do, he is too shocked to do anything. The night student's mouth open in a monstrous size, the amount of teeth in his mouth very much not human-like. Euijoo squints his eyes shut waiting for the pain to come.
“Stop what you are doing” says a very familiar voice “Now” the voice is calm but also demanding.
Suddenly the student start to lose his strength on his hands that are holding Euijoo close, when they are totally apart, something push the night student a few meters away with some inhumane stregth. When Euijoo finally has the courage to open his eyes all he sees is a furious Fuma. Euijoo never saw the blond guy like that.
“I'm sorry, I didn’t mean to...” The night student who two minutes ago sounded extremally intimidating, now had a soft voice, he limped with his left leg after being launched a few meters away
“I don’t fucking care what you meant to, just get out of my sight” says Fuma with the deepest voice Euijoo had ever heard. After that the Night class student cowardly got out of there while limping with his left leg, the yellowish color that conquered his eyes now fading the more he walked away.
While Euijoo was questioning himself how Fuma, someone that was so gentle, could have such a deep voice and stregth, Fuma was walking towards him
“I'm so sorry Euijoo” Fuma says reaching out his hand to touch Euijoo's face, he didn't know this but a single tear fell from his eyes during this whole attack, the adrenaline too strong in his blood veins. Fuma seems to regret reaching for his face so he put his hand beside him right away “I'll talk to him to make sure this never happens again”
Euijoo is still processing everything that happened so he opens his mouth to speak but doesn’t say anything
“You are cute Euijoo” says Fuma all of sudden, and Euijoo turns bright red “I'll get going right now. Be careful, you are too sweet to be walking around like this”
And Euijoo stands there watching Fuma turn away and go to God knows where, he stays like that for about ten minutes until Nicholas finally shows up
“What are you doing standing like this in the middle of the hall? our duty is already over” says Nicholas waving his hand in front of Euijoo face “you look like you saw ghost.. did something happen?”
“Nicholas” Euijoo seems like he is aware of himself now “am I cute?” at least it seems like it
Nicholas surprised with the question stays silent for a few seconds and then like a wave of sunlight he gets reminded of the stupid grin Euijoo had a few minutes ago at the balcony "You are" he says with a grin, this time not holding his smile “now let’s go to our dorms”
