When he woke up the next morning, Minseok felt terrible. He never drink so it couldn't be because of alcohol. His legs felt stiff and his belly felt ... bigger. He streched himself a bit and went to the bathroom. He had a hard time getting into the shower. The warm water helped him a bit. Warm water always help. Except when it turns suddenly cold.

What the ?!

He didn't have anytime to spare for checking any damage in the water heater so he just finished his shower with cold water. It helps too ! I mean it helps you to hurry your sorry out of the shower instead of lazily half-sleep in it !

After drying himself, he went to the mirror for a quick check-up. He wasn't vain. Just liked to be decent at least. Being out casted doesn't mean being a huge shame for humanity. Or at least, having no hygiene. What he saw in front him was the exact opposite of decent. Oily skin full of pimples,  and this face in front him looked like him ... with 20 kg more. He gawked. He didn't go the hard way with his diet, just to have all his efforts crushed. He touched warely his face. Nothing seems real. It was maybe a side effect of what Jongdae gave him ... Or it was THE effect it was supposed to have ...

Nononono I decided to trust him. He is  sometimes clumsy it could have been a mistake. Well I still can't believe it. I will confront him later. Weird though, I can't 

His thoughts were abruptly interrupt by a ringtone. His phone started to vibrate too, making the sink vibrates too.

This old stuff will shatter one day.

"Hello ? ... Yes Junsu-ssi. And you ? And your husband ? ...Oh really ? I'm glad. Oh ... WHAT ?! YOU MEAN ... I AM ... FIRED ?! FOR REAL ??! ... Please. I'm really begging you ! If I don't work, I can't go to school nor live by myself ... I understand ... But really  I ... oh. Alright Junsu-ssi. If you may excuse me, I have school to attend. ... No worries Junsu-ssi. Please take care and live happily !"

Way to start a day : I'm getting ugly and fat by the minute, Jongdae probably hates me and tricked me, I don't have any job anymore. Can life be more sad ... Yes it can : don't have any food left ... WHY ?!

He dressed himself with the most baggy clothes he could find. Hoping that nobody would notice.

Of course, everybody noticed. And everybody (well almost, but what are 3 or 4 people in a sea of 1 000 students) snickered, threw him some dirt, said hurtful things or patronized him. Better be patronized. He started to regret coming to school, even if he really wanted to confront Jongdae. All the courage he gathered just walked away, saying 'Bye you're not a good host I'm leaving'. After another insult, he snapped. He didn't care why, when, where. All he wanted was finding Jongdae, kicking him merciless, and run away.

"Mah mah, who do we have here said Jongin.

- You meant WHAT do we have here  snickered MyungSoo. Pretty disguting thing doesn't need to be treated like humans.

Minseok won't lie : it hurts. Those were the people Jongdae usually went out with. What a shame.

"So Jongdae ; happy about your little potion ?"

That was the last straw. Minseok, even if he was a bit aware, couldn't let the truth sink in his brain. But the found a way to get in anyway. And ... surprisingly it didn't hurt that much he still had the courage to ask, voice cracking :"Why ?"

Jongdae couldn't answer. He really couldn't, he knew by the blank look of Minseok that he went too far. He couldn't stand it, and ran away.

"Ooh scared of his own creation."

Minseok didn't knew he could gather so much hatered towards himself. He ran to the rooftop. Where the wind was. Where his last good memories were. Where the sky was. This is it. The moment, the place. He could end all of this here. His ex-acquaintances, ex-friend, ex-best friend, ex-crush made him the worst scumbag of the school.

Mum, Dad, I can't stand it. Sorry to make your death unworthy. But I can't stand it. I'll join you.

And he jumped.

...

He jumped yeah, but clumsily. First his feet got stuck on the edge of the rooftop. Thus his body did a 180° and he facewall-ed. That knocked him out.Since his brain didn't have any control on his body anymore, his feet went lung and untangled themselves from the edge of the rooftop. He fell while doing another 180°. This time his feet went through a window, and they got stuck there. He was too big for the window though, and the rest of the glass shattered noisily. He then made a huge 4-floors dive head first, and his back banged into a gutter, cracking it in the process. The gutter resisted but gave up and split itself in two. Minseok's body slid along the gutter and landed on the grass.

From Suho point of view, it was quite terrifying. It was so awkward and unrealistic that he even wanted to laugh. He soon called his boyfriend Lay.

"What's up babe ? Missing my

- Gosh Lay I don't have time for this. Just come in the second walk. Someone tried to commit suicide but I think they somehow just managed to wound their body badly.

- But he's still alive ?

- I didn't see his life living him so ... yeah.

- I'm coming." and he hung up.

Jongdae heard a commotion. He didn't give it any attention though, until he heard some of the Student Council whailing about how they didn't need to manage a death, not with all the bullies they shall handle first. He just got a bad feeling about it. So he decided to go and see what it was about.

People were already gathered where Minseok lied. Lifeless. The kingka asked demanded them to leave him  some space (meaning at least, 5 meters). And his heart stopped beating. Tears fillled his eyes. Numbly, he approached the body. Without doubt it was Minseok. He fell on floor. Gathered the bubbly lifeless thingy. And cried. Hard. Everybody looked at him in shock. Was Jongdae really ... crying ? Even his curious "friends" who were here (out of curiousity mmh) didn't understand why it affected him so much, since he himself was the one who constantly bullied the lifeless boy.

No Xiumin no ! NO ! You can't ! I don't you want to leave me ! NO ! Not now that I realized my mistakes !! Don't leave me like this ! I never wanted that to happen. Never. I just wanted your attention, and it was the only way to have yours. I wanted you to have me, my name, my face in your mind ! Always ! Not you leaving me forever !

Oh Gosh he cried. The nature cried with him too. The sky got darker and soon black clouds were above both of them. Jongdae just carried on with his lamentations. Soon lightening exploded and thunderstorm too. The students and even the teachers were a bit tacken aback, and started to fear for their life.

This the moment  Lay and Suho chose to interfere.

"Hey man, said Lay, he isn't dead. I can still feel the life running through him.

- Why doesn't he respond to my touch then, mumbled Jongdae. Then he shouted WHY ! (dramatic effect : violent thunderstorm)

- Hey man do calm down. He did a quite nice fall. But please stop with your electricity thingy, you'll hurt my boyfriend.

- I can't ... I CAN'T KEEP ING CALM !!! (another deafning thunderstorm)

- Ok let's try this."  Lay put his hand near Jongdae's heart and his hairs went blond. And shone. Brightly. His hand shone too. Soon Jongdae felt himself calming down. The thunderstorm and the lightening ceased. Only a dark atmosphere kept surrounding them.

"OK Now my boyfriend will keep you calm. Do relax.

- But ..."

Jongdae saw a water bubble growing up in front him. It kept growing until he got trapped wrapped. Many sounds could be heard not so clearly. Jongdae try to hear what it was. The sounds became gradually music. The music of a waterfall, the music of a lake, the music of a sea. He uncounciously smiled, and started to fall asleep.

On the other hand, Lay put his two hands on Minseok's body. He looked at the guy's face.

His face must be pretty. Even with all his pimples, one can see that he has some nice features.

Those hands started to glow again, same thing with his hair and he started to heal the body, bones after bones, wounds after wounds, pigment after pigment.

Whe he finished, he smiled and started to fall asleep. The sun light had come back, and the highschool's nurse came checking how Lay's work had been. She was quite happy with it. Stretchers brought both boys in the nurse office, and all the students and teachers went back to their activities, still a bit dazed.
