the Other Half

Love One, Not Two

 

*riiiiinnnng*

You get up from the ground as everyone around you starts to rush to their classes.

"Sigh...What am I going to do?" you think to yourself. You look around and realize Chohee has ditched you. 

You wander around trying to find your homeroom.

"204," you repeat to yourself over and over again as you circle the halls. Before you know it, a girl comes running into you, and you both fall to the ground.

"OMG I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" she panics as she gets up.

"I'm fine. Are you okay?" you look around to see her books scattered all over the floor.

"Yea...ah. I'm going to be late for class again!" she pauses and helps you up. "Hey, you're new aren't you?"

"Um...yea. I have no idea where I'm going. I'm so sorry."

"Why are you sorry?" she giggles.

"Your books...plus you just said you were going to be late..." you look down.

"Hehe don't worry," she says as she picks up her books. "Anyways, what's your homeroom?"

"204...I can't find it."

"Oh! I have the same homeroom as you!"

"What? Really?"

"Yea! Follow me!" she takes her books and drags you to class.

"Oh ya! My name is Hana. What's your name?" she smiles.

"----------." you reply.

"Ooooh cool. You look really young to be in high school."

"Ya. I skipped a grade."

"And you're in the international program?! You're so smart!"

You blush, "Thank you. How did you get into the international program?"

"Oh. I came to Korea 4 years ago. I'm originally from London, England."

She stops in front of the door to the class. "Are you ready?"

You take a deep breath and reply, "Yes."

She opens the door, and you two walk in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After school, Hana brings you to your locker.

"Thank you for helping me today," you say.

"No problem. I'm happy I could help," she replies.

"Seriously, I would have been lost if you didn't give me that tour."

"But I didn't show you everywhere yet. I only gave you a tour of the international wing."

"Still, you helped me a lot. I wouldn't have survived."

"Aw. You're welcome. Well, I've got to go. See you tomorrow!" she smiles and walks away.

You smile and wave. You can't believe you made a friend on the first day. You look around the halls and see a familiar black-haired boy. It was Kwangmin! You wanted to talk to him all day.

"Kwangmin!" you yell to him.

He glances back but continues walking.

"Wait...he saw me. What?" you think to yourself.

You follow him and repeat, "Hey, Kwangmin!"

He quickens his pace.

You notice a sheet of paper fall out of his bag. You pick it up and rush after him.

"Kwangmin! Kwangmin!" you yell.

He rushes out to the garden.

"Kwangmin!!! Why are you ignoring me?!"

He turns around in anger, "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?  STOP FOLLOWING ME, KAY?"

You stay still, stunned at his words. 

You quietly hand the boy his paper. "I'm so sorry...I thought you were someone I knew."

Before the boy could reply, you hear a voice from behind you calling your name. You turn around to see another Kwangmin running towards you. 

"Wait what. But..." you mumble in confusion.

"Hey ---------!" he smiles and looks at the boy with you, "Oh...hi hyung."

"Hyung?" you ask.

"Yea. This is my twin brother, Youngmin."

Youngmin grunts and walks away.

"Oh wow. He seems to be in a bad mood today," Kwangmin says.

"Crap. I must have angered him," you look down worried.

"What did you do?"

"I thought he was you..."

"Oh...Um...yea. He sort of hates it when people do that." 

"Ah...he must hate me then."

"Hey, don't worry. He's not always like this. He's just in a rage mood," he tries to comfort you.

"I hope so. I feel so bad now. Anyways, why didn't you tell me you had a twin in the first place?" you ask.

"I didn't know it was necessary," Kwangmin replies nervously.

"It is necessary!" you laugh, "It would've saved me from this."

"Mianhe," he says sadly.

"Wait...I'm not mad," you look at him worried. You feel bad for making him sad.

"Kay goody," he smiles.

You can't help but smile back. His smiles are so comforting.

"Oh ya. How was your first day?"

"Okay. I made a friend," you smile.

"That's great! Did you get lost?"

"In the beginning...but I got a tour of the international wing, so I survived."

"Whoa! You're in the international program?"

"Yea..."

"You're so smart! What grade are you in?"

"Grade 9. I skipped a grade."

"Wow...I feel dumb now. I'm in Grade 10."

You giggle. 

"Anyways, do you want a tour of the rest of the school?"

"What?"

"I have nothing else to do," he smiles. "The school is amazing. You'll love it."

 “Do you know there’s an art program here?” he asks.

“No…”

“Good! I’ll take you to the art wing then.” He smiles.

He takes you by the wrist and drags you inside.

~~~~~~~~~

“Hey, I’m really sorry about Youngmin,” Kwangmin says randomly as you two are walking.

“Don’t worry…I just hope he doesn’t hate me.” You force a smile.

“He doesn’t. Trust me. He’s usually really nice.”

You and him reach the art wing of the school.

“I didn’t know the school was this big!” you exclaim.

“I told you, this school is amazing.”

You two continue walking through the empty halls.

“Wow…it’s beautiful,” you say in wonder.

He laughs, “I know right, and there’s more!”

You look around and realize that all the halls are painted.

You stand in awe.

Kwangmin stares at you smiling. “You seem so amazed by everything. It’s cute.”

You blush and look away.

He giggles. “Anyways, you haven’t seen the best part yet.”

“It gets better?!”

“Yeup. Close your eyes.”

“Hm? Why?” you ask suspiciously.

“Don’t worry. You trust me, right?”

“Yea…”

“Just close your eyes.”

“Fine,” you sigh as you shut your eyes.

You feel Kwangmin bringing you somewhere. You think, “What is he doing? What if he ditches me?”

“I’m not going to ditch you,” he says as if he read your mind.

You hear him open a door, and he stops walking.

“We’re there,” he exclaims.

***Youngmin and Kwangmin have the same hair colour at this time.
