Aaa

Genres: school au, slight angst, slight fluff
Pairing: Goo Junhwe x Ahyoung (reader)

Would it be weird if he found himself staring at the people around the classroom without speaking? Well now, that was more like a habit he had gotten. Observing was easier than pulling himself into a huge net of sensations he didn't want to feel. Since when was he this detailed when it came to understanding what other people were feeling? He had no idea, truth was, he didn't need to know people to understand what they were going through.

Ahyoung was usually quiet. Her dark brown hair fell over her soft shoulders. She was never into long hair, that actually was a lot of work for her but since her crush was into long haired girls, she let it grow. That risky choice had paid of with a lot of attention from the female crowd. She even dyed the ends of her hair with blue and pink. She liked that. That was attractive to the point some guys have already confessed to her. Her crush, however, didn't seem to mind it. He thought her hair was okay. Her looks were okay too. That was not what he was looking for in a girl. She wasn't that tall either.

The lunch hour soon was being wasted with quiet whispers about how it was obvious for everyone that Donghyuk was her crush. The female didn't like it one bit but there was nothing she could do about it anyways. Ignoring the people around her, the female successfully bought lunch for herself. Her best friend always whined over the fact she never bought him lunch.

The bell rang, expelling everyone from the cafeteria, back to their respective classrooms. Mrs. Lee proudly walked inside the classroom, clicking her high heels on the wooden floor. She smiled and the students understood right away something was about to happen. The female presented them the full list of partners for their next project. Ahyoung bit down her lip as she noticed her best friend was paired with no other than her crush. She was stuck with someone she didn't even know. Goo Junhwe the quiet guy in the back of the class whose grades were so so. Truth was, he knew a lot about this specific subject they were working for but Ahyoung had no idea.

"Library, lunch." Junhwe said to the female who actually sat just behind him. He knew everyone as creepy as it sounded, but he simply didn't let anybody get close enough to meet him. It was not fair. He acted like a cold block of ice. The class ended quickly but those minutes before like the bell rang were thrilling for Ahyoung. She didn't know what to expect from the male. She bit her lip nervously before watching the male get up and head to the library with his backpack. Ahyoung looked over at her best friend, apologizing for not being able to have lunch with him.

   Junhwe wasn't the one to come late but truth was, Ahyoung was waiting for him for some good ten minutes. Just when she was about to give up, he showed up and sat in front of her. "You can divide the work. Whichever part you want is fine by me" he spoke to her more than two words for the very first time. She liked the sound of his voice. It was just not a simple voice. His tone was giving her goosebumps. His voice was like music to her ears. It was addicting; why didn't he speak that much? Her eyes watched the male in front of her before she actually nodded and started choosing the parts she'd like to work on.

   After what seemed like two billion years, both of them were done with the project; the female didn't expect Junhwe to finish the work this quickly and easily but truth was he was pretty good when it came to that specific class. How come she never noticed him?

   The lunch hour was almost over and she wanted to eat something but she still had to get ready for the next class,  therefore, she headed to the classroom.

   Soon, the bell rang, making the female sigh and sit down by her desk. Besides having to apologize to her best friend about not being present during lunch, she actually had no lunch to eat as she was actually planning on buying it. The female stood still when she noticed something was set by her desk. The hand let go of the sandwich that was deliciously set on wooden desk she somehow owned. Her lips were pressed together as she heard people whispering around the room; her cheeks were slightly colored in a soft red color. The person who previously set the food on her desk was staring somewhere else. At the board, focusing on whatever was said by the teacher who she was supposed to pay attention to.

"Goo Junhwe!" she called out loud, making the male lift his head to stare at her thin figure. She waited for him to speak but he didn't. He simply kept the ongoing stare war. Just when she was about to speak, he parted his lips and said "Don't take it the wrong way. I took your lunch hour away, I had to repay it. " he explained, as if reading her mind. She was transparent to him, just like everyone else. The female simply nodded and smiled softly at him. He ignored that and looked down at his book, reading a few words off it as if tasting them.

Ahyoung bite down the sandwich the male previously gave her. It was pretty tasty. Did he buy it?  Or did he make it by himself? Why did he close himself to everyone else? Those questions suddenly popped into her mind, making the female look forward, to the male who sat in front of her. He seemed so close yet so distant. She suddenly wanted to know him and kick away his loneliness.

The bell ringing signaled the end of another day wasted at school, either learning or simply burning patience. Junhwe had already picked up his backpack and reunited his belongings that weren't that much before he walked out the classroom. "Junhwe, Goo Junhwe!" Ahyoung had waited until he exited the room to shout his name. The male sighed, recognizing the voice from before. He rolled his eyes, stopping his tracks before turning around to face the female. She walked up to him and smiled softly, as if trying to comfort the male. He sighed quietly once again. "What do you need? " she shrugged her shoulders. After taking a deep breathe, she looked up at him. She was used to look up as her best friend was taller than she actually was. "Do you want to hang out with me and Chanwoo, after school?" she asked, tilting her head slightly to the side. Junhwe stared at her but his answer was no other than turning around and leaving.

Yesterday's events were enough to push Junhwe over the edge. He was mad over the fact there was someone who was messing with him. Having friends was never his goal. Junhwe had arrived earlier than usual but something was different about him. He had a can on his hand, holding onto it tightly.

Ahyoung, on the other hand, still felt embarrassed over Junhwe's actions. He didn't bother to even answer it. He ran away. And she was too shocked to even run after him. Her eyes widened as soon as she noticed what the male was holding onto. Beer. He was drinking beer. On a classroom. Inside their school. Anger grew inside of her; she walked up to him and slapped his hand, taking away the can from him. He didn't bother to speak, staring at her instead.

He was taller than her and probably stronger than she was. The female had walked towards the window and poured the liquid out just to have Junhwe half drunk walking up to her. "I don't care if you drink. But if you do,  then don't do it here." she glared but her words didn't come out as strong as they should have. He was intimidating. His handsome features up close were scary and that made the female's head spin. "It's my ing life, I do what I want." he calmly commented, taking her wrist, just to squeeze it tightly. Ahyoung wasn't aware of how it was hurting until Chanwoo came inside and shouted Junhwe's name.

"You should be ashamed." Junhwe scoffed over the male's comment. He had always been pictured as the bad guy but deep down, he just wanted to be alone and deal with his problems by himself. Because he had nobody else anyways. He lived in the school's dorm as he had ran away from home. His fingers let go of Ahyoung's wrist as he stepped back. His backpack flew over his shoulder. He just didn't feel like attending to school. He didn't feel like being anywhere in fact. He just wanted to be alone.

The rooftop was excluded of his list. The basketball field was his better option. That was until someone's hand rest over his shoulder and turned him around. He was surprised with a punch that hurt his cheek. Chanwoo had followed him. "Don't come near my best friend again. I will kill you if you do." he warned but before he could leave, Junhwe had fought back. He wasn't the one to fight but he wasn't going to hold back, especially when this has been the closest he had been to someone in a while. I'm less than ten minutes, the fight was over. He only felt his ear being pulled by their homeroom teacher who kept saying how disappointed she was of the both of them.

The clock had been ticking louder than the usual. Junhwe's eyes followed the clock's hands. How long had it been since he had taken a break and stared at the clock, just to watch time tick by? Long enough to make him realize he was the owner of a loneliness he couldn't get rid of.

"Idiot." Junhwe lift his head to see Ahyoung run up to him and past him, to cup her best friend's cheeks. As expected, it wasn't him who she was looking for. Without loosing another second, he exited the building. The detention was over. Junhwe noticed he had stopped by the basketball field. Chanwoo's words came to his mind. He cared for the female more than his ownself. And Junhwe couldn't understand why. His eyes scanned the surroundings and noticed he was alone. Not for long though. "Junhwe." a soft feminine voice called his name. He didn't need to turn around to understand who was calling him "How are you feeling?" he didn't answer.

Her hands had landed on his face, she took a look at his bruises and sighed softly. She hated seeing her best friend fight yet, he seemed to hate Junhwe to the bone. Junhwe only rolled his eyes "Your best friend needs your attention more than I do" he quietly spoke, taking her hands away from his face. But the female looked hurt with his actions, rather than disappointed. He wanted to avoid this kind of situation, therefore, he kept his eyes down and sighed heavily. Ahyoung took that opportunity to kneel down in front of him. Her eyes scanned the male's features, and soon found out he had to be taught how to be peaceful and stop creating trouble. In less than three seconds, he gasped over the cold liquid that came I contact with his wounds. Ahyoung bit back a soft laugh.

Junhwe was trying to act though but just the fact someone was taking care of him, was weird for him. He couldn't help it. He was not used to this, not at all. But it somehow relaxed him, the though of having someone by his side after Ben though they weren't even friends. Once Ahyoung was done with the treatment, the male sighed softly.

"You can talk to me" Ahyoung suddenly said, sitting next to the male who didn't bother to say a word. The female sighed softly, taking a look at her own hands. "I know you aren't like this. Let me get to know you." she almost begged. Junhwe leaned back, staring at the floor ahead of them "I'm fine by myself. I really don't need you." the female didn't answer. She simply nodded her head, knowing deep down she didn't agree with him. She knew he needed someone.

Her hand now rest on the male's hand. He had released yet another sigh but now, his hand held hers rather tightly. It was his way of saying he was not okay. She understood that. The female leaned on him as if they were long date friends but he didn't move. The slightest move the female made, was enough to confuse his brain. Her thumb caressed the back of his hand.

"Kim Ahyoung, where are you?" the sound of Chanwoo's voice woke Junhwe up. He pulled his hand away and calmly for up from his seat. He wanted to avoid other people, especially the female's best friend. Ahyoung frowned at the male's actions but didn't try to make him stay. She waited for Chanwoo as her eyes landed on her hand. Junhwe was mysterious and she couldn't deny the fact she liked it. Our of everyone else, he decided to kick his way into her life. She didn't know what to do nor say. Truth was, Junhwe was someone she wanted to have close and help and she knew that wasn't going to be easy.

"Here you are" Chanwoo sighed out of relief, gaining the female's attention. She stared at him and nodded. But her mind was somewhere else. Over Junhwe, asking all kinds of questions. "Idiot." she mumbled, rubbing her wrist. Her mind was set up.  Yes, she was going to get through his barrier. She knew it and she was totally sure of it. Aware of the danger but commuted to her mission.
