Exams
A Wall In between
Well I hate school but I miss it at the same time.
The week past and my foot was much better. It was monday morning again. One week has past. I can go back to school. But now I have exams starting today for a week. Oh great! I walked out of the house.
"Yo!", Monsoon greeted. Myungsoo was right behind him.
"Yo Guys", I replied with a smile.
"You sure seem happy", Myungsoo said with a dull tone.
"Yep. You sound really... umm. Dull?", I said.
"Hyung didnt get enough sleep yesterday because of a nightmare he got. His sleep talking got much more severe than it used to be." I looked at Myungsoo. I wonder what his dream was about.
"How come you didnt hear him sleep talk. He was and shouting a lot.", Monsoon asked.
"Oh. I'm a really really deep sleeper.", I smiled. Myungsoo seemed to not be his usual self.
"Hey Myungsoo are you alright?", I asked. He didnt reply. He seemed to be in his own little world.
"Myungsoo?", I called him again.
"Huh?", he snapped out of it. "Yah cant you leave a man think?"
I laughed. Thats the Myungsoo I knew.
"We should get going before we are late for the exams.", I said and receieved two nods. We walked to the bus stop and got onto the bus. Soon Sun Hi got onto the bus too.
"Have you two revised?", she asked me and Myungsoo. We both looked at eachother and nodded in response.
"How can you be so calm?", she paniked.
"You are stressing way too much. You are going to lose focus if you stress this much", I told her.
"Stressing is a good thing during situations like this. It stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and tells the adrenal gland to make adrenaline which increases concentration level by inhibiting any other activities such as digestion.", Myungsoo said. We looked at him with awe. He sounded like a robot.
"But if she panicks too much its not good. She will start doubting herself and own her answers.", I said. "Just stop worrying this much. A bit of stress does help but if you stress this much you are going to loose yourself during the exam.", I continued. Sun Hi took a few deep breaths and nodded.
"Sun Hi fighting", I said out loud while pumping my fist. I completely forgot I was in the bus. I looked around. Sun Hi and Monsoon were laughing. But Myungsoo he didnt laugh. He was looking out of the window staring into space. We reached out bus stop and got off. Sun Hi and Monsoon were walking at the front and Myungsoo and I were walking at the back. Sun Hi being her usual self was talking on as if there was no tomorrow.
Myungsoo let out a sigh.
"Hey is something wrong?", I asked.
"None of your business", he answered.
Well seems like he is fine after all.
We arrived at school and dropped Monsoon to his class room.
"Bye everyone. Good luck. Myungsoo hyung, Hyunsoo noona, Sun Hi noona fighting", he said pumping his fist. Sun Hi and I pumped our fists too. Myungsoo left without a word.
"Anyways we'll be gone then!", I said to Monsoon after watching Myungsoo go.
"Shall we look at the seating arrangement for the exam?", I asked Sun Hi. She nodded. Both of us were on the stage. I lost track of Myungsoo. I wonder where he is. He seemed to be a different person. When I thought he started to become closer, he becomes even further than he was.
We soon met up with everyone else, wished eachother good luck and went to the exam hall and took our seats. I looked around. No sign of Myungsoo. I became worried and looked at the time. 5 minutes left. I looked at the door and saw him entering. Thank god he made it. He sat down in his seat. We soon received out first paper. Physics! Throughout the paper I was thanking Myungsoo in my mind for teaching me. Seemed so much easier doing something that you understand. I finished. I looked at the time. 20 minutes left. I looked around. Mostly everyone was still writing. I stretched and looked through my paper to spot any mistakes. I was quite confident. I looked at Myungsoo thinking he would have finished aswell. But when I looked at him, he was still writing. He had his left hand against his head. Something is wrong!
The exam finished and we were given our second paper. Just like that the day passed. I walked out and caught Monsoon who was walking out of the gates with his friends.
"Hey Monsoon wait up", I called before I grabbed Sun Hi and ran towards him.
"Oh Hyunsoo Noona, Sun Hi Noona, how were the exams?", he asked. We both smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
"Good to hear. Have you seen hyung?", he asked.
"I thought you might know where he is", I answered. His expression became worried.
"But he is old enough to look after himself right?", I asked which gave him some hope. He nodded and we all went home.
Just like this the whole week passed. We had exams one after the other. It went pretty well in my opinion. Cant wait to get my results back. I waited until Saturday. After exam week, teachers would normally call students in school and they will get their grades back. It was a pain in the neck but its better to just get rid of this pain all together. I went to Sun His house and waited for her. I was early and she wasnt dressed yet. Its saturday after all. Who wants to go to school? We arrived at school. I met up with everyone and we went to the board with our results and ranks. Its probably Myungsoo. I sighed. Jae Hwa read the ranks out.
"First, Kim Minho", Well maybe its just a one mark difference between him and Myungsoo.
"Second, Kwon Eun Ji.". Well she is really smart.
"Third, omo its you, Lee Hyunsoo!", she said in excitement.
Huh?
"Who is fourth?", I asked.
"Hee Sung Yung". She read out. "Probably someone from a different class."
I walked forward and looked at the board. Kim Myungsoo... Kim Myungsoo... he is 7th! I couldnt believe it. Something is definitely wrong!
I looked for him while I was in school. I didnt see him so after an hour I decided to go home after I got my grades. Mostly A's and some B's.
Sun Hi got of and waved. I decided to get off early and take the route through the park. It was cold and there was snow but its a place to think. I have January exams over and done now it just June! Hyunsoo Fighting!!
The park was empty. Its only 11 am. Everyone is probably asleep on a Saturday morning. I looked at the playground area. I saw a figure on the Swings.
"So early in the morning?", I asked myself. I walked to the playground. From afar it seemed like the figure was in deep thoughts. Maybe I should join them. As I approached the playground, I saw who it really was. Myungsoo?
Thank you to all the new subscribers (and also thank you to all the old subscribers who waited for more than a year!).
