The boy next to me

A day to remember

Day one
ChanHyung pov

I fix my collar, as I tuck my shirt in I finish it off with buttoning the last button. I took one finally glance at myself to the rest of the world before I was ordinary i had short black hair(that was in a bowl cut I might add), my height was normal I wasn't crazy tall like basketball players but I wasn't short like kids

My "normal" appearance lasted until middle school, in 6th grade i promise myself that i would change truth be told i was ready but there was still fear that i would be bullied or society would frown upon me it was a lot for my 11 year old self to handle. But over the summer, i bite the bullet and proceeded with my plan

My stomach flip, and did turn as I wall down stairs the smell of pancakes filled up my nose with each step I took. My eyes first meet the back, of my cousin he was hunch over the table chowing down food it wasn't an unusual sight to see him stuffing something down his throat. Next was my uncle, unlike my dad he was quite simply he work at an office for a decent company when he's not working or reading the newspaper he outside playing sports, going hiking etc he was your typically man mans that in his word "don't give a what others think"

i reach the bottom of the steps, walking towards the table my auntie flip one more pancake before she turns her whole body towards me and greeted me with a smile

 "Good morning changkyun", her face was glowing with a toothy smile

"good morning aunt jae eun, thank you for the food", my voice was low and flat even with the kindest people i always have a way to appear to be an

As soon my sentence escape my mouth, a chain of "thank you" followed the most prominent being Mijin her high pitch voice pierce everyone ear drums. She was the youngest out of the bang siblings, she was vibrant and enjoyable to be around out of all of them mijin is the closest to my heart i always like to think because we spend most time with each other but there a small part of me think because she reminds me of what i want to be

"KYUNGIE", she hops out of her chair and came charging towards me I bend down and open my arms wide open for her I brace myself I was 3x her height and weighed more than three of her combined but she still shows great strength. She jumps into my arms, wrapping her skinny arms around my neck I fell back landing on my a sound left my lips but I returned the hug holding her close to my chest

"Mijin, what have i told you about hugging people", he lowered his paper downs 

His voice was stern, but his face failed to match there was a goofy grin on his face. I could feel her, body relaxing she let out a small breath mijin look back at me and gave me the same blinding smile like her mother I let go of her she unlatches her arms from around my neck she steps back while I pick myself up swiftly from the ground

We walk back to the table, and continue on with breakfast later on eunHa (another cousin) joined us it was peacefully we all just eat. One custom they did was, every morning while eating we don't speak aunt jae eun always said when you wake up your tired and you have nothing to say that why diner exists for you to come together before you can go to sleep and discuss your day

When I place my last bite, of pancake in mouth my uncle place his paper down "you ready changkyun ?", he voices boomed i jump up a bit I glance up at him praying he didn't see me reacted his eyebrows was knitted I could tell he was concern but before he could ask I practically jump outta my seat "lets go uncle jun" words rush outta my mouth

He simply shrugged it off, mumbling OK he grab his plate and went towards the kitchen i followed suit i stood by him at the sink i quickly look at him he looks at peace my uncle was the type to mind his own business he never probes people to tell him about their feelings or thoughts so whenever you told him "i don't wanna talk about it" he takes your word for it

I always appreciated that, especially around 9th grade those time were rough and it helps that he wasn't breathing down my back. We finish washing, I grab my bag and he grab the key aunt jun eun stand at the door waiting on us my uncle was first to reach the door he greeted her with a kiss it lasted a few seconds they pull apart and he was out the door 

She open her arms, i lean into the hug i rested my arms on her back we stood there for a second before we let go i place a kiss on her cheek her eyes went wide and was ajar "goodbye aunt jae eun", I whispered

i hop into the car, setting my bag on the ground as soon as i shut the door uncle jun back out and then we hit the road. The car was silent, music was playing in the background we never talk my uncle and i were the quiet type whenever we were alone nothing was said but the beauty about that was nothing need to be said we mostly communicated through looks

"hmm i never knew the day would come that i like your hair", amusement was clear in his voice

He reaches over, and ruffle my hair i quickly fix my hair a blush wrap around my cheeks before starting school i had to change my hair color in the summer it was a pastel pink it was longer than now and i fell in love how the way it looks. But the school strictly said "natural hair color", after long thought i dyed it midnight black with navy blue steaks

"that good, and did you have any trouble covering your tattoos?"

"it was rather...difficult"

"i could imagine so"

We transition into silence once more, the drive lasted few more minutes before he pulled up to the school i could see a some students sitting in the courtyard or walking inside. I gave one more "goodbye", and step out of the car he watches me walk towards the sidewalk before he storms off leaving me standing there

I keep my head up, but avoided eye contact human interacts is something important the average human needed some type of interacts with others. I repeatedly told myself that but it never stuck i could feel people eyes burning a hole inside of me i it knew was because my hair and tattoos

I couldn't cover my ink fully, they were nearly all over me the most that stood out was the hands, neck, and behind my ears i knew how to cover them but i was running dangerously low on my color corrector and foundation so i couldn't properly cover them the best i had was covering with my clothes

But the show must go on right?, i quicken my pace walking past those judgmental eyes. I was successful in my quest, the main entrance was cold my body automatically cool down i reach to my back pocket grabbing my schedule i had this remember to the tea all the class i have i least seen or been in. looking down at my watch, it was still early which left me a ton of time to explore

Tightening the grip on my bag, i started to roam the nearly empty hallways. Walking around bring back memories, i went through a lot during my stay here. Our school was bland, with a touch of color here and there the hallways had white walls with brick on every other wall

Lockers was a bright red, and each door was a brown some darker than others due to rather it was old or not i continue my journey around the school. Every once and while, i stop to find my class

I finally stop at my homeroom class, sitting at the back i enjoy the silence our class was up high which gave a great view to look at. I place my earphones in, drowning out all the noises it was heaven right now i was all by myself with no interruption

Time went by, all my attention was towards winning this level i could hear in the background the door being bust wide open and laughter followed after. I delivery the finally blow, but the other got the best of me he killed of my character with a shot at the chest

I left out a huff, crossing my arms i lean back into my chair i finally raise up taking note of my surroundings a few desk down a crowd of boys was round one boy. At first i thought they were about to fight but their body language said other wise base off their looks alone i could tell their popular

My eyes kept bouncing back to them, i didn't stare too long but I took every inch of them in it was addicting so far it was going good i got a good look at all of them they were handsome. One stood out more than others, Marjory of my attention went towards Him i was able to get one more look before i got caught

My face went red, my heart speed up i look to my right i could see them looking towards me i slid down in my seat closing my eyes in the background you could hear footsteps getting closer and they got closer and closer the room went silent but was interrupted by the chair beside me screeching as they were being pulled out

I slowly open my eyes, the empty seats around me was full the group of boys grab all of their bags and decided to sit by me it was obvious i was nervous. They didn't talk, all them sat and stared straight at the front all of them were like statues

Not long did the teacher barge in, she sat all of her stuff she look a little unorganized we waited as she got herself together
after a minute or so she sat down and look at us

"I hope every body choice a good seat because that your assign seat for the rest of the year"
