Time brings changes.

📝

The two years of high school would end from today onwards. The senior high schoolers couldn't help themselves from releasing a relieved sigh now that they could officially enter the society and fend for themselves inside the circle. Those who wanted to earn earlier can take technical training then hunt for a job and those who wanted to study further to establish a career can take entrance exams for higher universities. But it was all for the future.

At present time, the foremost was to participate in their graduation ceremony draped in those cultural black robe and black hats. To encourage their enthusiasm Neon high school had organized a formal program to congratulate the graduates. After the boring part of the program that was the speeches of about five to seven pages long, the graduates were at last left on their own. The last day of school mean parting with their peers ,their young lovers, the canteen's aunt , the security guard and yeah of course the teachers as well. It was also a chance to share their heart to each other because after today they wouldn't know what the uncertain future waiting for their arrival actually has planned for them.

Making the use of this opportunity, many young Romeos' were confessing to their soon to be Juliets' promoting their one-sided suffering to that of two-sided sufferings.

Within the sea of black heads four figures seem particularly eye catchy. And why wouldn't, when three of them were basically the school's male idols and last one; an outcast.

The group of three young handsome men were surrounded by noisy girls making them no less than wanted criminals circled by police officers from all four directions blocking their retreat. And for MinJun the situation at hand was by means nothing out of ordinary rather if someone were to greet him instead, than that would probably freak his soul out of his body. Thus with conscious he had chosen rather an isolated place stuffing his gloomy self underneath the shadow of a tall tree constantly trying to catch a glimpse of the figure veiled behind the group of those noisy girls.

Failed in his objective MinJun entered the school building and walked towards the classroom on the third floor where the window was built so that it made convienient for him to take-in the scene outside to his heart content. MinJun sat near the window and like a maiden in love drown himself into his imaginary world made out of pink bubbles.

The group which was originally supposed be of three boys was now left with only two but for head over heels MinJun whose mind and heart were glued to HaeSung only, he didn't notice this change in the script.

"I see. You are same as before."

The sudden voice intruded his thoughts and made MinJun jump five feet high in his mind. He turned around to see if he can identify the extra person in the formerly empty classroom. Of course, here MinJun treated himself as air just like everyone did.

"Why are you shocked white? Didn't expect someone approaching you?"

En.You are correct. Morever I absolutely didn't expect one of the male idol would speak to me on his own accord.

That's what MinJun wanted to say. And don't they say that the male idol no.2, Keet was a man of few words and do not like to approach someone then why would he feel otherwise.

Keet who was filed as an OOC pulled a chair and sat on it facing MinJun eye to eye.

[OOC-Out Of Character]

"What are your plans afterwards?..Uh..About studies?"

Although MinJun do not understand why he would be talking face to face with Keet but he thought it wouldn't be wrong to simply reply to what was being asked. Anyway it was not always that someone would care to talk with him.

"Dropping out."

Keet was shocked and then smiled pleasantly. He was unsure that he would get a reply from MinJun. Feeling encouraged he continued-

"Why?Financial problems or anything else."

Now it was MinJun who was overly shock. Are they continuing??

"En. Something like that. Beside I am food major and can be said professional after acquiring some trainings."

Food major do not require high academic certificates. Now what he needs to pursue is some skills and working experiences.

"I see. You got it easy,huh. I am psychology major and need higher academic qualifications."

MinJun could only smile which was later replaced with that of bewilderment.

"Hey. You do not remember me, do you?"

Keet further added to clarify himself.

"Um..I mean not as an adult Keet like right now but as a kid. That....do you remember a fat kid who used to get beaten into a pulp by you.. Say..Do I resemble a bit."

Unable to immediately function his mind MinJun took his time to dig out some of his memories when he was a tyranny kid and indeed there was such a fat kid as much as he can remember.

"Shit. You are that round ball."

Realizing how his words seem rude MinJun covered his mouth and turned his apologizing gaze towards Keet.

"Hey~How can you compare a handsome man like me to a round ball. I am not that fat anymore."

Though Keet meant to sound angrier his dazzling wide smile betrayed his intentions.

"Ah..You...that...how...."

It was not easy for MinJun to identify this young master and that fat meaty kid as one.

"I was adopted into a rich family."

"Oh.". MinJun remembered that the fat kid used to live in an orphanage and often cause trouble for him then would be beaten red and purple in return.

"I am sorry." MinJun felt embarrassment after all he used to beat that fat kid until he cried.

"Haha..It was all in past. But how did you change so...so uh...drastic?"

Keet had always disliked interfering into someone else's life but had he known earlier that this timid and easily bullied MinJun was same as that gangster kid from his memories then no matter what, he would have protected him well.

Keet hadn't met his birth parents. As much as he could recall he had been living in that small orphanage till he was adopted by a rich spouse later on. During his living in the orphanage he didn't make any friends. Because of his unsightly fat stature other kids wouldn't make friends with him. That's why when he saw kid MinJun who was friend with almost every kid and one of the kid ;HaeSung would practically glue to MinJun he felt envious and jealous thus after he began to bully the kid HaeSung and make trouble for MinJun and would be beaten up thoroughly by him.

"I didn't recognize you at all. Only after the hospital incident did I have some doubts. MinJun.You were really not like this...uh..so..easygoing type."

Keet wanted to chit-chat more but the continuous ringing from his phone disturbed their harmonical re-union. He promised to catch up later and turned to leave. Watching the 'now' tall and slim back MinJun could only smile rather sad. Time do bring changes. He wonder when was it that he had changed unrecognisable. Was it after his parent's death??

MinJun turned his attention towards the figure being surrounded by the crowd. He thought, no matter how he had changed, for HaeSung, he does not remember his past-self at all and must not want to have anything with his present-self ; not a little bit.
