My mom made outer stairways for Felix. If he ever wanted to go outside, without disturbance! My mom and Mrs Lee really planned it well.
There were two rooms at roof. One just like ordinary bedroom for student, for his bed and his PC and studies. While another was set as Hall. With sofas and bookshelf. Table so sit. From left stairs to inside the house. And from right stands the balcony. And stairs to the yard. And there was even a doorbell for himself.
He opened the door. And Clingy Hyunjin hugged Felix. Well Hyunjin isn't clingy. I got that part of him clear. He just have few friends with whom he becomes clingy.
Just like that Junior of our college And Felix. With Seungmin too. But Seungmin don't allow him to cling.
He made himself comfortable. This room might be specially made to stop ourself (specially us two) from being into Felix's area. We had plenty of space in outer room. And mom said she will be arranging TV for this room. So that we can have our Sunday night movies.
I remember when I asked mom for TV in my room, she was angry. Felix is lucky child. Hyunjin made himself as home. Then he asked if he can see his bedroom. And Felix showed him.
He too was jealous seeing two separate rooms. Well if we see, Felix's original room was somehow similar. Half of his room felt like bedroom and half was for us. Mom just put the barrier with his personal things and things he wish to share.
"Should I bring the PC to this room?" He asked.
"No, it's fine there." Hyunjin answered standing in between the door seeing both the rooms. Mom called us and we went down. Hyunjin followed us through the stairs inside. He said hello to mom. Mom made him sit with us offering ramen bowl.
Mom's ramen bowl is Felix and mine's favourite. And seeing Hyunjin mom divided it into three.
"Did you told her?" My mom asked.
"Oh no!" Felix answered.
"What is it?" I asked.
"I will not be here for week. But Friday evening I'll come early as I can." Felix said.
"WHY?" I asked curiously. Why he can't just stay here.
"Well, we asked in colleges here. But they didn't have vacant places. So, in opposite area. It will take much time to come and go. So it's best if I stay there for week. And come here at weekend" he explained.
I'm happy with fact that he is with me. So I can't complain. And I should not bother him with studies. So I just nodded. There's an unexplained understanding going on these days. I think I'm matured much more. Being with Seungmin does have effect. Why don't hyunjin grow up then?
We enjoyed our weekend and Hyunjin joined us too. Hyunjin made us visit his favourite places in city. And now not only Felix but Hyunjin became by best friend too.
To be considered about Hyunjin didn't said anything about me being in love with Seungmin. But in these months he helped me stay with him a little closer.
Rather that weekdays now I was looking forward for weekend. For whole the week I never stopped thinking about the moments we spend together. Hyunjin have became much closer to me.
Last month I remember, when it was Hyunjin's birthday I wanted to give him surprise. But he told me early that he, will be spending his birthday with Seungmin. And they have plans and I can't join. That was the first time in this year he said no to me.
I gave surprise the next day though. In college with CBC and rest of freinds.
( CBC- Choi Bong Cha - We used to call her Bong, but she declared once that everyone will call her CBC. And we are following that rule.)
The second month of this year went really good. Weeks full of excitement and, weekends to live with those excitement. Sometimes Seungmin too joined us. And one time I brought Bong with me.
It was month of May we sat quitely doing our work. When a person entered the class. He was not so tall, with some curly hairs. Lips so pink, eyes those are expressive. Baby face but still looking matured.
He came with some sheets in his hands. He gave a look over class and then walked toward Seungmin.
I felt I knew this man then I remembered. On last day, the farewell he was person Seungmin talking to. That day too, I felt the person gives off the scent of happiness. And today too I was just staring at that person.
CBC came close to me. I looked at her. I was shocked. She who have that aura of commanding was there sitting looking at that person with puppy eyes.
Well I felt that this person brings out innerself of yours with his aura, but I didn't guessed Bong to act like this.
She whispered in my ear, "Christopher Bang he is!" Not her words but her eyes started giving the hint she love this person.
The person was talking to Seungmin. Discussing something. By Seungmin's guesture I understood he respect this person so much.
Closing his books, Hyunjin too went to look what was going on. And beside me restricting oneself to move Bong was clinging to me, not to restrict me but herself from getting close to that person.
When he was leaving she suddenly stood up, "Oppa!" Calling with eager tone, not requesting yet sounded like it.
He turned, smiled at her and said, "Oh Choi! How are you?"
He just spoke those words and I felt Bong jumped thousand of times inside. I can read that aura of her.
"I'm fine! How are you oppa?" She said with straight face however, I felt it with tremors.
"Am as good as How I should be, after all we are CBC!" He smiled and gave high-five in air. Which was followed by Bong.
I get it. She had crush on our Senior. It is common to have crush on senior. But Bong having a crush is somehow different. The person left after smiling a little. Bong fell into chair.
"Was this the person you were telling me about last year?" I remembered she told me when she was practising she really liked the person guiding them. But I didn't knew she fell for that person.
She nodded. All with excitement and her tremored heart. Look at that brave girl all shaking just by talking to her Crush. For me, I was now freind with Seungmin. And I can not lose my friendship just because I feel something toward my friend.
After all the ruckus when we were on our way to home. Hyunjin came and asked, "Will you participate with me for farewell project?" He started walking beside me.
"Isn't it too early to think of farewell?" I asked.
"It isn't normal one." He ran forward and then turning back to look at me.
"You don't know Chan Hyung, do you?" He asked.
"Was I supposed to?" I said without hesitation. But I realised it that I was wrong only when Seungmin from behind said,
"He is the person everyone should know about." He followed us and was now walking beside me.
"You should try to know. He is interesting person." Seungmin looked at me and smiled.
His words are command for me. I shall look for this person. And next day I asked Bong about him. And she was like encyclopaedia of Mr. Chan.
He started a year late. And to be said he might be the oldest in our college at a moment. He is bright student and every teacher praises him. I do remember teacher saying his name to look as role model.
But for me, who cares being Model person. He was also a person arranging every farewell from three years. And it was the reason why most of the students were always eager for farewell part.
He was also incharge in every little big thing that includes fun. He was like our president. If anything bothers anyone, he was the one to make clear way for them.
And he was like elder brother to Seungmin who really have great respect for him. And he was crush to Bong who have so much love for him.
I never knew Seungmin have such a great respect for him rather than only being favourite, he told me to look for that person. And I don't remember, he ever talked about that person.
With all the examples given by Bong I too, myself, started to admire this Seonbae-nim. Being Seungmin's favourite I will too, like to play a part in it. And I answered Hyunjin that I will be joining them too.
By the given information, Chan Seonbae-nim was this time wanted to make a special performance. What special, unclear but! He have his favorite persons here and he wanted to create a memory with them.
First I felt, I should refuse. Hyunjin didn't explained me anything. It was Bong who explained me. She too didn't knew, she just said what her freinds told her. And if that's the case I might not be needed. As i even don't know about this Seonbae!
But if he want he can let go of me any time. And as soon as I said yes, Hyunjin took me to meet this Hyung everyone adored the most. Bong followed me hearing we are going to visit him.
He was sitting at his desk. Last year students were quite. Maybe they have a lot to prepare. He was sitting beside the window. The light through it made him glow. And I was sure this was that same person Seungmin was talking to that night.
Hyunjin guestured him to come outside. He closed his books and came.
"Hyung, she is Eunsoo and I want her to join our group too." He said.
I gave a bow to him. I don't know but he looked like some older person who will praise me if I bow. Just like some of grannies from my town.
"Oh, no need! No need!" He said bowing too.
"And I too, want to join." Hesitately Bong speak up.
"You are most welcome to Join. But I do need to test you guys. If you don't mind" he said.
I looked at Hyunjin what the test is and so does the Bong. For a moment of silent here came another person opening the door.
A perfect nose, having high bridge and sharp tip. Face looking like a painter's creation. Hairs styled as k-drama star. Glassy skin and pink small lips. Lips little crooked, smiling makes them to tilt one side. The eyes, makes you follow the lead he wanted you to lead to.
"What happened?" He asked looking at Chan.
"They want to participate too." He introduced us.
"Oh!" He explained and bowed. Followed by bow of us three.
Did Bong just bowed, and Hyunjin bowed too?
It's my first time seeing Hyunjin ever bowing to any student. And Bong? She didn't bowed to Chan. Is he some special! I guess I missed a lot of things. If only I have joined their farewell class!
"Come to our class in end of the day. We need to talk some things." Chan smiled.
By saying 'Ok' we were leaving. We saw someone coming and just stand beside the person standing near Chan. And he smiled and said, "Hi !"
Did he just said Hi? How can he?And he smiled not a forceful. It was Han Jisung!
That quite boy of our class. Whom we almost forgot. It was because Hyunjin was not fighting with him these days. And it was like almost our class forget about him.
Me and Bong were shocked. We looked at Hyunjin. And he just smiled and said 'Hi'. We smiled too. But in shock. They three went inside the classroom.
Han Jisung, who dared not to talk to us for whole year, Was freind with last year students? And with whom the most famous and the most model person of our college! Just what in the world he is. And more, how he became so polite to smile to us?
