CH. 6
Prince Academy
Si Won’s POV
I finally felt peace when Hyuk Jae hyung finally fell asleep. He talked too much, and all about Dong Hae too. I was the one he came to when Dong Hae wouldn’t listen, and now being roommates with him in the school dorms didn’t help at all. I really liked him, maybe more than I should. Truthfully, being a Christian and all, I wasn’t supposed to believe in gay relationships, but whatever. I kept saying I was straight, but inside, deep down, I probably was gay like everyone else. Shin Dong was the only straight one as far as I knew.
As we settled into our respective rooms, I didn’t feel sleepy. Zhou Mi was already passed out, so I snuck out to see the fountain. When our teacher had said camping, he meant that we were going to a nice, neat reserve in the mountains. I heard soft sobs from the fountain. I found Lee Teuk there. “Hyung,” I said, startling him. “What’s wrong?”
He just shook his head and wiped his tears. “Do you miss Kang In hyung?” I asked.
He nodded. I knew something had gone on between them! I sat down with Lee Teuk. “How long is he gone for?” I asked.
He shrugged. “I don’t know,” he whispered.
I took his hand into mine and sat with him. Eventually he fell asleep and I carried him back to his room. I think Shin Dong was in the bathroom showering. Hee Chul was still awake… And not in his own room… His eyes looked like he’d just finished crying. “Han Geng?” I asked. He nodded slightly and then he went back to his own room.
As I went downstairs back to my room, I saw Ryeo Wook sitting on the stairs, hugging his knees, rocking back and forth, soft tears dripping down his cheeks. “Ryeo Wook hyung?” I said.
He just looked at me with sad, tormented eyes. “Is it about Ye Sung hyung?” I asked.
He bit his bottom lip and continued weeping softly. I patted him on the back as I left him. Still going further down, I heard Kyu Hyun shout from above, “Minnie?! Oh my… Sung Min-ah, calm down!”
Sung Min came rushing down the stairs crying. A few moments later, Kyu Hyun came down panting. “Is it about Wookie hyung?” I asked.
Kyu Hyun just glared at me and kept running after Sung min. I sighed and continued on. Han Geng came up. I looked at him. “Hee Chul hyung?” I asked. He nodded. I told him the room number and then he left.
Eun Hyu’s room was right next to mine and for some reason I wasn’t surprised when I heard Eun Hyuk cursing loudly, punching and kicking the wall. I gazed at him and sighed. “Dong Hae?” I asked. He nodded.
I pushed my door open and ushered him inside. Oh the night! How it is filled with such grief of love and problems.
