Chapter Text
It is very late now, 00:32 am to be exact. A guy is sitting at the desk in his room flipping through a book that he has probably read through for the 12th time now in the span of 30 minutes.
There are many books scattered all over his desk, social, math, and biology are all the subjects of test he has to take not long after this.
He has already prepared a short note to the side for him to occasionally glance at and memorize the important details in the book. He figures that these note might just come in handy for the upcoming test he has tomorrow.
-So he just keep on rehearsing until his body is begging for a break and —okay, it’s not like he’s not confident about the test or anything. After all, there isn’t a subject that Soohyun is not good at in the end anyway, is it? It’s just that, it’s better to be prepared than loosing to a certain someone again, right?
Right.
So he continues. The concerning part is that, he has around 3 tests from 3 separate subjects to take tomorrow. It might be hard for him to balance everything out and rehearse every subject in one night but he sure as hell will try his best to.
so naturally he wakes up feeling exhausted the next morning. He groans, rubs his eyes sleepily before heading straight to the bathroom to get ready. His brother is kind enough to make him some breakfast and even drive him to the academy, he’s just too tired to give him a proper farewell before stepping out of the car.
First period, social studies. Soohyun makes his way to the familiar table on the left, pulling out his stationeries and waits for the teacher to arrive.
Whispers came from his classmates, saying stuff about how tired and out of it he looks which only elicit an annoyed sigh form him. It takes some time, but the teacher finally arrive once the first-period bell has rung. He quickly orders the students to sit back in their seats and he will start handing out each of the exam papers.
The test went well. Well, except for the part that Soohyun almost fell asleep during the middle of it. The next period is chemistry which lucky for him, doesn’t have any scheduled test to worry about, giving him some time to actually relax. His luck would extended to the next two periods before lunch where there is no test waiting for them to take.
The same cannot be said to the afternoon periods though. On the fifth and seventh period he has both Math and Biology exam to take respectively. Of course, it’s not a problem to Soohyun one bit, if he manages to stay awake through it that is.
Afternoon rolls by, Soohyun gets back to the room after having a stomach full of jajangmyeon that his brother had made and packed it into his bag. He even wrote a little note on the top saying ‘Good luck with your exams!’ So with that encouragement, Soohyun sits back in his chair, flipping through his notes again one last time before he has to put them down again one the test starts.
Students make their way back into the room with one of them in particular sitting down right next to him. A red hair guy to be exact, and judging by the looks of it, he probably is just back from playing basketball, maybe even with someone he would rather not mention.
“Kim Seojoon, you forgot your jacket.”
oh fuck you, I literally said not to mention. -is probably what the black hair guy is thinking right now at this moment. A figure standing tall next to the forgetful man, hands holding both his friend’s jacket and his own bag, much to the friend’s delight. And Soohyun’s demise probably.
”Aw~ thank you Eunsung! Yea I thought I was forgetting something- I guess it is this then.”
Turning to take his leave, the blonde is stopped just before he can walk back so far, this time by one of the random guy who’s always hanging around their tables.
”Hey Eunsung, say I heard your class also had a test this morning. What was it again?”
”.. Social”
”Shit really?? That’s the same as us then. How much did you get?”
Don’t
”…….”
Idiots
”Full score. Why?
”Aw what??! Dammit I thought I’d really get you this time.”
“Dude you got 14. What did you expect???”
A third person chimed in and the conversation continues.
idiot. IDIOTS. You really think this simple quiz will be enough to bring THE Jung Eunsung down?? YOU IDIOT.
To be honest, Soohyun doesn’t need to hear this. He really doesn’t. But now that he does, he makes a mental note that the next two test he’ll do better, and be better will he be.
”You don’t even wanna make a chance for our little second place here?”
”….”
Oh you asshole
