Chapter 04: The new boy

"Go and sit beside Beomgyu. There's a blank seat." the teacher told Soobin. Soobin was very obliged and nodded gently. Then he went to the blank seat and took off his bag and sat down on the seat. He took out his notebook and pen from his bag and put it on his table again. Then he directly stared at the beautiful lady who was going to start the day's lesson. Beomgyu's eyes were still stuck on Soobin. Now that he knows the boy's name he felt relieved for a while.

"Hello! I am Beomgyu!" Beomgyu whispered.

"Hello!" Soobin replied gently but he didn't say anything more. Beomgyu thought he was avoiding him for what happened before. So he felt upset and pouted while looking at the other side. The teacher started teaching. Soobin was very attentive to the lecture and took notes from time to time. But Beomgyu didn't know why but he wanted to talk with him very badly and that's why he couldn't be attentive to the class. Instead of taking notes, he looked at Soobin from time to time and judged how he looked from his side. His nose looked very sharp from the side and the cheeks were nearly invisible. It seems like it was a living sculpture. But suddenly he remembered the smile on his face which made him look very cute because of those dimples.

"What are you doing? Come back to your senses!" Beomgyu told himself in his mind and shook his head side to side. After finishing the lecture the teacher left the class and the students felt relieved because there will be a relaxed class next and they have a ten minute break.

"Hello! I am YeonJun." YeonJun came to Soobin and greet.

"Hello!" Soobin looked up at the handsome boy. Kai also came to greet him.

"I am HyuningKai! You can call me Kai or Ning Ning." Kai said cutely. Soobin noticed most of the boys are quite handsome here. He thought he was very handsome but seeing others his confidence level went down.

"Hey! Only I can call you Ning Ning!" YeonJun slapped Kai's shoulder lightly and said.

"Are you two dating?" Soobin asked randomly and smilingly.

"What! We are brothers! HAHAHA." HyuningKai laughed at his question and replied. But YeonJun was quiet about the question and it seems like Soobin said something to hurt him. Soobin noticed it but couldn't understand the reaction so he asked again,

"Real brothers? But don't look like brothers! I mean, you both have different looks." Soobin smiled again and said surprisingly.

"Yes, we are actual brothers. Our mom gives birth to both of us and we have the same dad. Hahaha." Kai was explaining everything to make Soobin believe.

"Okay okay, I got it." Soobin said while smiling. This is the first time his teeth have been visible. He had nice teeth. And this smile was more pretty.

"Oi! Are you ignoring me? Did you already forget what you did to me?" Beomgyu came to bully Soobin because he ignored him before.

"Eh? Have we met before?" Soobin looked at Beomgyu with his innocent eyes and asked.

"Whoa! Whoaaah! You forgot me already! NO! HOW CAN YOU FORGET SUCH A HANDSOME FACE! DIDN'T.... WE MET... LAST NIGHT? Y-YOU... BUMPED...TO ME....AND....THEN... THEN....HIT.....MY NOSE!" Beomgyu acted very angry and he was showing with gestures what he did to him last night.

"Ah! You are that boy? You are really looking different from last night! You look so cute that I couldn't recognize you! Ah! I am sorry about last night. I really really didn't mean to hurt you." Soobin remembered and stood up to apologize again. He made a cute face which nobody can refuse to take his apology. Beomgyu's heart is also flattered by that but he needs to act cool in front of his friends and classmates.

"Oh! It's okay because I'm too kind. If it was someone else, do you think they would forgive you?" Beomgyu faltered while talking and looked at the other side.

"Thank you! I am glad that we are classmates from now on. Let's help each other for any kind of necessity." Soobin smiled and extended his hand to shake with Beomgyu. Beomgyu took his big size hand and shook it with the warmth of his heart and Soobin's hand felt so comfortable and warm enough.

"Oh! Soobin Hyung! How are you? It's been a long time! And why are you here?" Taehyun came and went to Soobin directly.

"Taehyun! You are also here! I didn't notice you!" Soobin was quite surprised and left Beomgyu's hand to have a proper talk with Taehyun. Everyone was looking at Taehyun after he greeted Soobin.

"Do you know each other?" YeonJun was surprised and looked at Taehyun.

"Yeah," Taehyun replied without saying anything more and looked at Soobin again.

"But why are you calling him Hyung?" Beomgyu asked Taehyun with a shocked face.

"He must be older than you guys!" YeonJun gave the answer instead of Taehyun.

"But! What are you doing here? Don't you have classes to join?" Taehyun asked YeonJun after remembering that he was not from this class.

"Oh! Yes, I just came to see Hyuning and he told me about the new boy so I was just curious." YeonJun shrunk his eyebrows and replied to Taehyun's sudden question. But Soobin felt relieved that Taehyun overturned the situation and they couldn't ask much about him. That time another teacher came inside because the break time was over.

"Guys! I need to go. See you later!" saying this YeonJun turned around and walked away. Everyone took their own seat and their chat time was over.

[After the class]

"Where are you going now?" Beomgyu asked Soobin.

"I need to go to the store. Please visit there if you need anything." he smiled again and took his bag on his back. Beomgyu wanted to follow him and so he also took his bag on his back and walked behind Soobin. He couldn't understand why he was so eager to talk with this boy or why he wanted to follow him.

"Did you see Taehyun Hyung?" a cute type of boy came to Beomgyu and asked smilingly. He was looking just like a cat and Beomgyu wanted to take him and adore him as a pet.

"Oooooo.... I think you can find him in the library. I can't really answer." Beomgyu tried to remember if he saw Taehyun to go somewhere or if he told Beomgyu that he was going somewhere.

"But can I ask who you are and why you are looking for him? So that I can inform him later?" Beomgyu asked out of his curiosity not to inform Taehyun.

"I am Yang Jungwon from year one and I came to ask him something." He smiled and replied to Beomgyu.

"Ah! Okay, I'll inform him later." Beomgyu smiled and said then he looked for Soobin again but he was gone long ago. Beomgyu felt quite disappointed and pouted again though there was nobody who could see him pouting. He thought of going to that store but it'd be weird if he went there and bought nothing. So he didn't go there.

It was late at night but as it was the main town, it wasn't looking like it was late at night. The city was full of lights. The river was looking very beautiful. There were very few people on the riverside. Soobin was sitting near the river alone. All alone. It seems like he was thinking of something very deeply. But if someone would be willing to know what he was doing, he would have to go to him and look at his face carefully. Though there were no expressions on his face, there were tears which were dropping from his eyes through his cheeks.
