“Hey cricket!” I hear from behind me as I get shoved into my locker for the third time today. The first time was this morning when I got to school and the second was at lunch. “Hey Choi, you even listening to me?” the person behind me says, the voice is one I've gotten to know too well in last couple of years of school. The owner of the voice was Kim Jonghyun, better known to almost everyone as JR. “Do we really need to go through this again?” I ask, trying to discretely reach into my pocket and retrieve my cellphone before he can close the door. “He's going to call for help” I hear Minhyun say from behind him, “close the door and let's get out of here before he does.” “Why?” JR growled in reply, “are you afraid of his little friend?” I listened to the sound of Minhyun's feet shuffling against the floor as he shifted his weight and whispered, “Jongup is a little scary despite his size.” I heard JR mutter something under his breath that sounded something a lot like “wuss” then I shuffled around to face out of my locker as he slammed the door closed and clicked the lock shut. I immediately tried to pull my phone out of my pocket, but it was kind of hard because of the small space. After a few minutes I finally got it out and sent Jongup a message saying:

NES, they shoved me into the locker again

A few seconds later I got the reply saying that he was on the way.

     After about 10 minutes I was starting to wonder where Jongup was when I heard the familiar sound of the lock being opened. “Hyung~ what took so long?” I complained. “I had to detour a couple of times to avoid fangirl attacks” he replied with a grin as he put out his hand to help me out of the locker. I shot him a dirty look as I took his hand. Once I was out of the locker, I stretched because I had a few cramps in my legs after sitting inside for so long. “Man, only two days of school and you've already been inside the locker six times” he teased, “come on, Himchan's driving us home.” I just let out an exasperated sigh as I follow him out the door. “Hopefully tomorrow will be better” I muttered to myself as we got into the car.

     “How was everyone's day?” Yongguk called from somewhere else in the house as I walked in with Jongup, Himchan, and Youngjae. The sound of Yongguk's deep voice always made me feel better after a long day at school. “I had to help Junhong-ssi out of the locker three times today” Jongup said, it kind of annoyed me when he used my real name. “Didn't you do that yesterday too?” Yongguk asked Jongup as he came into view. Jongup simply nodded his head with a satisfied smile on his face. Yongguk then turned to me and asked, “Who's the bully?” I kind of just averted my eyes toward the floor and said “I don't want to talk about it” while rubbing the back of my neck. I didn't need Yongguk yelling out threats about killing anyone. “Zelo,” he said as he placed his hand on my shoulder, “it won't get better if you don't say anything.” I found it strange how, despite the fact that he's six years older than me; Yongguk had to reach up to reach my shoulder. “I just don't feel like talking about it right now” I said as I shrugged his hand off and walked toward my room. I decided that I might feel better if I had a quick nap. So I lay down on my bed and covered my eyes with my arm and I fell asleep.

     I was woken up a couple of hours later by Jongup. “Junhong-ssi wake up!” he shouted in my ear. “AHH!!!” I screamed as I fell out of my bed onto the floor. When I had recovered I glared at him as he just grinned back at me. “What was that for?” I asked. “It's time for dinner Junhong-ssi” he replied, still with that goofy looking grin plastered to his face. “Stop calling me that,” I said, “you know I prefer to be called Zelo.” He just continued to grin as he ran out of my room and down the hallway. How is he older than me but so much more immature, I wondered to myself as I got up off the floor and made my way down the hallway following Jongup.
