If saying that yesterday Youngjae had been distracted, today his soul probably has been wandering some other planets already. Himchan was quite panic seeing the younger and Daehyun battling out but seeing this even scared him more. UFOs or aliens would never land here or something. For sure.

"Yongguk hyung !"

He waved at Yongguk who was reading a book on his own class. He grinned his gummy smile cutely and closed his book, stepping toward him. Himchan wondered how much Yongguk could melt him more. His heart raced, his skin heated, even thinking was hard, too... only whenever he was near this guy. Despite how mysterious this guy was.. But anyone was Daehyun's acquaintance, Himchan always considered as "accessible". Not mention about how much this guy’s influence to him... he wouldn't let him go that fast.

Kim Himchan would never missed his chance.

"I haven't seen Daehyun at school today. He's still sick ?"

Yongguk leaned his head on the door and replied "Uh, he isn't feeling good."

"And he didn't even reply my texts or call me either... Aish, we are best friends !"

Yongguk smiled "Forgive him. Maybe going out while being sick yesterday makes his condition ... worse ?"

Himchan couldn't help but feel the boy before him was so cute, the way he scrunched his nose and tried to choose the right words for the reason. Of course he knew Daehyun's illness was more than just "not good". After Youngjae found Daehyun, both of them acted weird. That their together standing in front of Daehyun's gatehouse without barking each other was a peak of fantasy.

Or UFOs might appear for real.

"Anyway... he will be back after recovering, right ?"

"Uhm... yes, of course! He must be that. Haha."

"And... Daehyun's scores in school are dropping, you should look after him closely since you two are living together."

"Uh, sure.."

At last, Kim Himchan might also falling into this kind of hard case. Only by Bang Yongguk.

"..."

"..."

Like remembering something out of sudden, Himchan blinked a few time before looking up at Yongguk.

"Yongguk, what are you to Daehyun ?"

~000~

"Jongup hyung, I can't bare with it anymore !"

"What's wrong ?"

Junhong tightened his hold around Jongup's arm, pointing to the soulless body sitting opposite the table with them in the cafeteria with expressionless face, distracting gaze. Almost smarties inside the cake on his hand had landed the dish below already and the rest of them were standing in the edge of falling from his mouth. Let me introduce this person, top of second year high school student... Yoo Youngjae.

"Hyung, you know what ?"

"Huh ?"

"My brother has just gotten a "B" today !!!" Junhong soundless screamed "B !! It's B !! Unacceptable !!"

"Calm down Junhong. He may get bad marks sometimes also. What are you expecting for ? He is going to school a year sooner than others in his age are doing." Jongup sighed.

"Don't tell me you have no suspect on something that happened yesterday" the maknae blinked.

"...uh, actually..."

BAM !

Some students turned back looking at Junhong, whose hand was placing on the table and he was glaring at his elder brother with lightning gaze. Youngjae, however, showed not much his reaction, and sort of slowly, gave Junhong his attention.

".. what ?"

"We need to talk."

He then grap his brother's arm, dragging him out the cafeteria. The others continued their meals. Jongup let out a long sigh.

'Daehyun hyung... what's wrong with him ?'

~000~

"ActualIy I have a thought that you are a bit oId in compare to a high school student ... Do you think so ?"

"..."

"l know it's a bit personal but being Daehyun's best friend, I think l need to know. Daehyun's being so strange these day. Well, Daehyun hadn't skipped school a single day until you came. You're his acquaintance, even. You know everything behind this, right ?"

Yongguk scratched his nape, exhaIing deeply.
 

"Right ! But it's Daehyun refusing to mention it to anyone. I respect his decision."
 

"Why ?"
 

"Seems Iike he doesn't want himself being weak to be shown in front of anybody. He himself has his own conflicts. l'm sorry Himchan. But you should wait until he gets ready."
 

"But..."
 

"Everybody have their own weak times. He can get over it, I believe." he smiled softly.
 

Himchan reaIIy didn't want to take this too serious. And Yongguk couldn't help anything. He just wanted to help Daehyun, eventhough he hadn't asked something too deep about his private life. Best friends aIways share problems together, don't they ?
 

Was he overacting now ?
 

~000~
 

Youngjae spIashed some cold water on his face, wanting to keep himself conscious. He stared at his reflection in the mirror and realised two black bags under his eyes - he'd had his first sleepless night not for study. Everything to him remained vague and unreal. He needed an explain, but didn't want to know what was it at the same time. Images from yesterdays incidence  kept replaying before him like it just happened a little while. His feelings at that moment ... it felt like each organ on his body were frozen one by one. He was able to protest and push the oIder boy away but he didn't. He couId bark that boy because of his abrupt action without a proper reason, but he chose to keep silence. His vague memories onIy aIIowed him to see a pair of confused eyes mixed with sadness, a pair of plump lips slightly part but no word spoken, two hands held on his shoulder tightly ... then that person immidiately reIeased him, mumbling some apologies and quickly walked away. He mindlessly followed behind, unable to gather himself after what had just happened, even when he'd back home, he'd buried his face in a pillow and screamed but only some pathetic groans came out. He hid himself from studying, made every effort to forget the incident but he simply couldn't push it out of his head.

He suddenly missed the Jung Daehyun of the previous days.

He never imagined all of this could happen to him even thousand years later.

He hoped that the brunette could come back and toss a book to his head. It was not easy, but better than stucking in this kind of meesed-up emotion though. He could pretend there was nothing happened, better than raising everything more trouble.

But Daehyun didn't come. He was deeply disappointed, but couldn't get rid of the worriness inside. About Daehyun, about  himself, about both of them.

"Hyung, what exactly happened yesterday ?"

Could he admit to his brother ?

"Nothing."

"Hyung... don't be like that !" Sighing was heard from Junhong for the nth time in one day. But how he could help ? He didn't think he could believe anyone in this situation anymore.

His fists tightened on the edge of the washing bowl. "I'll deal with it myself, though whatever it is. You don't think I can ?"

"It's not that, but-"

"Good. Sorry for making you worry, I'll finish all this soon."

Junhong frowned "Hyung, at least tell me what's wrong ?" 

No. Like he was going to admit that his first kiss was stolen, by Jung Daehyun. Jung Daehyun. Stole. His. First kiss. These words weren't supposed to exist in a same sentence.

"Leave me alone !"

He wouldn't let himself to be distracted too much. It was just a kiss. He didn't like it.

Jung Daehyun was driving him crazy.

~000~

Mid-term exams was coming in few weeks and Youngjae was making sure that there would be no mistake was made on whichever subject. Except for P.E. It was a special exception. His phone rang when he was busy on practising Physics. He was a bit supprised when the name "Yongguk" displaying on his phone screen. Obviously the conversation would involve Daehyun. The brunette hadn't been back to school for a week. It wasn't enough for him to erase total that incident however. He wondered if the other was really sick or there was still another reason.

"Youngjae ?"

"Yes ?"

"I've heard that you're top student ?"

"...Yes ?"

"Please help me, tutoring Daehyun this time, can you ?"

He didn't expect to face this situation.

"Hyung, why can't you do this ? "

"I'm sorry, but this wouldn't work. Daehyun needs to finish school, and I can't trust anyone better than you. I also hear that you've had some times tutoring other people."

Nobody knew about that other than Junhong. He cursed his younger brother inwardly. But it wasn’t the main point. He didn't want to meet Daehyun.

"I'll make sure he won't do anything bad to you, ok ?"

"What can he do to me ?"

"Didn't Himchan- oh it's not. So I don't have to worry anymore. Haha."

Kim Himchan. He didn't need more oppnents now !!

"I'll pay you worthy"

This guy even brought up money matters here. Cash wasn't his weakness. But he didn't want to stress up the problem.

"Alright. Just... don't tell anyone. I'll come late in evening. 1 hour each day is the best I can do."

"I'll have some people to pick you up. Thank you so much !"

He bid his goodbye to Yongguk before hanging up, dropping his head onto the table. 'You are welcoming more troubles with your open arms again, Yoo Youngjae"
