His new pink cotton candy hair swayed back his head when the fresh morning wind blown them away. His eyes roaming around him like looking for someone but the he realizes, there's no way anyone would waiting for him in the school gate. The news he heard this morning from his mother made him beyond too excited, of course that person wouldn't wait for him like they used to after all the mess he made. He put his hands on his pocket and took a deep breath before walking towards the building. His eyes catched a silver head student arguing with a small brown hair boy under a tree, of course he had to rolled his eyes when Byun Baekhyun started to hug Park Chanyeol's long leg, he just doesn't get it why they still act like kindergarten student when they should start to act like an adult

The hallway seems different that morning, the tension feels tight in the air and some people keep pointing on their cellphone as they show something to their friends. Jongin keep walking, feeling lost like a puppy. He missed the first day of school and the whole school already got something new to gossiping really early in the morning?

They should have been shocked seeing him walking around the school again, afterall he is the y Kim Jongin and everyone always wants a piece of him. Jokes, no one wants him that way but still. His eyebrows furrowed when he got closer to his locker, seeing Gong Ara turning her key on her locker. The next second was so absurd and Jongin might burst out laughing if he didn't see how pissed off Ara was when a pile of trash falling out from her locker, so he decided to bit his lower lips, holding on his laughter. He just realized everyone staring at her and laugh their off, so she was the attention center this morning. He guessed

 

Jongin and Ara never talked before despite they're in the same class for the last four years. Ara separated from her best friends in sophomore year and she reunited with Chanyeol in Junior year, All of those years she had to stick in the same class with Kim Jongin and she find it frustrasting. But Jongin fine with it, he never knew why Ara hates him so much. He never done anything wrong to her or say a word to her except if he had to and he planning to keep it that way until high school over

 

For the first time in forever, something in the back of his head giving him encouragement to walk up and speak to the girl, "Why do you keeping trash in your locker? Are you collecting trash now aside from books?" The words just slipped through his mouth like that. He mentally slapped himself when the girl eyeing him

"Shut up Kim Jongin" She snapped. He just shrugged his shoulders, not making it as a big deal and opening his own locker right beside Gong Ara's locker

 

The books were dusty and ugly since he never touched them before. He never had a motivation to touch a book back then but right now is a different story. He has a million reason to touch and reading his books like how a good student supposed to do. He mopped the dusts from his locker with a wet tissue that his mom prepared him for lunch so he doesn't have to go to the bathroom to wash his hands. After finishing clean up all the cover of his books, he took one of it and shoved them into his backpack. Ara was throwing the last piece of her trash when he hang his backpack on his left shoulder

"Wait..." She eyeing him again from head to toe. Finally someone shocked seeing him still walking around the school

Jongin raised his eyebrow, "What? Do I look that handsome to you?" He said confidently

Ara exclaimed and hit his head quite hard, for a girl he got the power above average. Jongin quickly regret for opening his mouth, "Why are you still here?"

 

"Are you stupid or something?" He can't help himself but feeling annoyed when his head start to sting, "I'm going to school of course"

"Hah! I thought you were dead after missing a week right before summer holiday and you didn't come yesterday"

This is new to Jongin. He never knew the girl knows him exist because she always ignore him for four years, "I thought you didn't talk to me at all but now seeing you remember I was missing before summer, you must be missed me that much"

 

Once again, Jongin regretted his words choice when Ara's hand hit him in the exact same spot as before, "You wish" She snorted

 

Jongin watching as the girl turned her back and wslk away from him. Out of all people, why she had to be the first person he had to talk to? After getting hit twice and the pain start to burn, he thinks maybe he should keep continuing to be a non-existent human being in front of her. Maybe trying to be a good person for her is not a good choice to start the last year of his high school life. He should've know that, she only being friendly to the three dorks. He had no chance to have a good relationship with her

 

After Ara left him, everyone seemed to get back to their conscious state and now looking confused and scared at the same time seeing a pink hair boy in the hallway. Jongin let out a sighed... this is gonna be a really long day

 

 

 

He tailing behind the tall boy as he enter the class. As soon as Chanyeol's eyes catches Ara in his sight, he go straight towards her while Jongin go to his seat beside a girl named Krystal Jung who secretely has a crush on him but she knows Jongin will never feels the same way as her, she doesn't even know if Jongin has any interest towards girl. Jongin just watch the conversation between Park Chanyeol and Gong Ara in the corner of their class, his eyes gone wide when he realized Ara got a new chairmate. He shake his head, maybe he saw it wrong but no matter how many times he blinked his eyes, the new chairmate didn't change

"Krystal" Jongin whispered

Krystal gasped when she heard Jongin's voice, he barely talk to her or anyone, "Yeah?"

"Who's that kid?" He pointed to the blonde guy who is watching Chanyeol's mouth speak

Krystal's gaze followed where Jongin pointed, "Oh that blondie? He's Oh Sehun," Jongin can feel his heart skipped a beat hearing that name, "And I heard he's Gong Ara's boyfriend"

Jongin stunned by hearing the news, "Boyfriend? Since when?" Krystal shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know either, but he said he transfered here because Gong Ara"

Jongin's jaw slightly open as he try to process this new information. That kid, Oh Sehun is Ara's boyfriend and he transfered just for her? It's not like he doesn't know Oh Sehun at all, he knows that boy more thann everyone but due to circumstances, their friendship didn't go well for the last three years. But he knows Oh Sehun is not that kind of guy who transfered to any school just because of his girlfriend, usually Oh Sehun would act like an to his girlfriend despite he likes the girl very much because an is the root of his personality. But most importantly he never knew Oh Sehun had a girlfriend, no matter how much Oh Sehun tried to avoid him, Jongin always ended up know what kind of information he wants to know about Oh Sehun and on top of that, why Gong Ara? Since when they know each other? One thing Jongin surely knows is Gong Ara is not that type of girl who opened up her heart just to anyone especially an like Sehun and three of her dorks always walling her up, not letting her dating just any guy

How can Oh Sehun got her as his girlfriend?

Maybe his personality had changed, Jongin thought, But... No way! In that short of period time? I mean the last time I meet him, he still pulled out his soulless expression and done everything to make everyone pissed off, Jongin watched as Oh Sehun tried talk to his girlfriend, but Ara seemed like not in the mood to talk to him because she keeps ignoring Sehun, But people changed... In unpredictable way and time, maybe this time Oh Sehun really changed

 

 

 

Jongin can hear the voice of girl squealing and fangirling over him even though he already set up the music volume from his earphone to the maximum level. He got up from his laying position on the bench and put the book he read to his side as he groaned feeling frustrated. A few girls around him seemed caught off guard seeing Jongin gaze at them feeling annoyed. Some of the quickly go from their spot and the rest pretending to busy on their stuff. Jongin sighed and rest his back on the bench. Sometimes he regret for having the handsome bad boy image, girls just won't let him spend his day in peace sometimes but it's not his fault either, he can't control what God has given him and the fact that girls in his age loves bad boy more. The reason why he dyed his hair in pink is to lessen his bad boy look, but that doesn't seem work and make it worse, even though he is not look as manly as before, he look cuter It's a plus point for someone who can pulled out a bad boy but still look cute looks and Jongin is one of them. He make a mental note to dyed his hair in some weird color next time, like light blue or neon green. He doesn't even care anymore if he looks stupid with that color

 

While enjoying the silent moment, a tall guy with his flat expression walked towards his direction. His name is already on the edge of his tounge, but nothing come out. Oh Sehun even didn't glance at him when he walked pass by the tanned skin boy, he just think him as non-existent human being just like Gong Ara. But Jongin can take off his eyes from Oh Sehun's figure as he walked by. The back of his mind force him to stand up and his mouth opened without his intention, "Sehunnie" he called out

 

Sehun stopped right when the voice reached his ears. He froozed in his place, suddenly his whole body just stop function from Jongin's voice, "Sehunnie" he called out again

That name... He used to liked it when Jongin called him like that, he used to smile when Jongin use that name because Jongin only use that name when he wanted something or wanted to say something to him. But now is a whole different story

 

"Don't call me that" he coldly said. Not just his tone become cold, but his calm and flat expression become colder and as if he can feel winter is in the corner
