Summary: It’s your first day at a new school, in a country you’ve only heard about in History class. Can you really fit in this place when you’re only an “American”?
The bell finally rang as a sign that school was over for the day. Slowly, you collected your things and shoved them into your bag before leaving. Almost everyone was gone when you stood up to leave. Tired from the stressul lesson since you aren't perfect at Korean, you gaze out the window for a bit. The sun was playing hide-and-go-seek with the clouds while classmates were leaving from the school doors and fooling around in the courtyard. From where you were, you could spot Shingdong and Kibum talking to Eunhyuk and some other people you guessed were the friends Shingdong had mentioned during lunch. Then, something caught your eye. For a few seconds, a tiny blur of gray rushed across the whole courtyard, no one else seemed to notice and continued with their shenanigans, so you shrugged it off and left the now fully empty classroom. The hallways echoed as you took every step down the halls and stairs until you met with the open sky outside. You tried to take in the scene before you, something you'll see for the rest of your high school years here. Minutes passed by before you started to walk again, but came to a halt as the blur from earlier passed by you again, this time, you chased after it. Only out of sheer curiousity, but nevertheless, you ran like you're on fire.
After what seemed like hours running around the school building like a madman, the blur stopped, along with you panting to catch your breath. The gray object turned around to face you, and opened it's mouth.
"Mew!"
It was a cat (a damn speedy cat), it's eyes were a nice light blue like forget-me-nots while its coat was a soft and gentle gray. By instinct, you reached out you hand to let it sniff you, but instead, it hissed and swiped at you. Startled, you yelped and pulled your hand back.
"He doesn't like stranger's, trust me I know from experience." someone spoke from behind you. You were a little surprised this person was still here, and turned to face him.
"What are you doing here?"
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Heehcul smirked. You made a face at him, making him laugh slightly. Suddenly, he stopped laughing in the middle of his fit and stare at you with daggers in his eyes. "You going to keep you're face that like? Be careful, it'll freeze that way forever, and then you'll get wrinkles faster." he warned. For once his voice was icy and thick as it sent chill down your back. Frightend you let your face relax, he bent down next to you and held his hand out to the cat. Surprisingly, it walked up to him, sniffed his hand, and pushed its head his hand, demanding attention. After stroking the cat forawhile, Heechul picked it up by its sides and held it toward you. Once the cat saw you again, it hissed and tried to escape Heechul's hold. "Aish, Heebum-ah, you need to learn some manners! Your temper is just as bad as Hangeng's when he finally gets mad..." Heechul scolded at Heebum, in a way it was kind of cute the way he made his voice more childlike to sooth Heebum.
"Take off your jacket." he ordered at you. Heechul didn't even look up to your surprised face when he repated himself, "Take off your jacket."
"Excuse me?" you squeaked.
"Jacket, for Heebum to get used to your smell." he explained, after a small silence he added, "Get your mind out of the gutter! Are all you Americans like that?!", you hung your head in shame as you slipped the jacket off and handed it to him. Heechul took it quickly and folded it into a square. Walking over to a nearby wall and place it on the ground. "Heebum-ah~ Bed." Heechul cooed to Heebum, patting your jacket. Heebum hesitated for a moment, then carefully made his way over, the moment he put his paws on the jacket, he rolled onto his back with his belly in the air. Astonished, you look at Heechul with your mouth open.
"Yah, you look like a vaccum cleaner with your mouth open so much." he teased. You quickly shut your mouth and then opened it to speak.
"So, then, could Heebum be the reason why you weren't in class today?" Heechul shrugged in response.
"Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, does it matter? I skipped class before I met him, doesn't mean I'll stay in class after that." he commented. Once he finished talking, Heechul stood up and waved a goodbye to you. You waved back at him smiling, he may be a Prima DOna, but this was a different sid eof him you're pretty sure only of had seen before. Leaving your jacket behind, you stood up and left Heebum with a small wave.
"Bye-bye Heebum-ah, I'll see you tommorrow."
The next morning you walked to school with much more confidence than yesterday, you had made friends so quickly, and haven't made a single enemy, the only comments you've gotten about your American heritage was honestly innocent questions and nothing insulting. Though, in truth, the day would be much better, if your jacket was on, leaving it with Heebum seemed to be the only way 'to win his heart' it's true, but that thought doesn't make you feel any less cold. You stalked up the hill toward the school with your arms plastered to you sides as you feigned tolerance to the biting wind.
"____-sshi!" a bubbly voice rang. Up from behind appeared Sungmin as he was dragging with him two other boys, one was Eunhyuk from yesterday, and the other....you didn't recognize. His dark brown hair was straight as his bangs were swept to his left. Neither looked like they enjoyed being held against their will by the pink bunny. You smiled as your friend came up to you, not paying attention to his prisoners' grimaces.
"Sungmin-ah! Is everything okay?" you questioned as your eyes darted from one person to the next. Eunhyuk scowled at Sungmin before he looked over to the other boy, and snapped his head into the other direction when the boy looked at him.
"____-sshi! I need your help with these two! Every since a few days ago, they've been fighting with each other and it's scary!~" Sungmin wailed. Eunhyuk tried to pull his arm back away from Sungmin, and once he tried, you could have sworn Sungmin's expression darkened and his grip tightend for a brief moment.
"Hyung, we'll stop arguing if you let us go, please! the other boy begged, Sungmin eyed him carefully before loosening his hold on thier arms. The boy that pleaded slipped his arm out from Sungmin's hold and rubbed it gently. Eunhyuk looked over to the boy and then down to the ground.
"I'd help if I knew what was going on Sungmin-ah" you said gently. Sungmin paused for a mintue to think, but his words flew out in a jumble.
"Um, um, um! I don't know everything, but what I do know is that becuase Heechul-ah told Donghae that Hyukkie was cheating on him, but Hyukkie isn't cheating on him. And Hae doesn't believe him, but Hyukkie won't say anything else to help..."
"Eunhyuk-sshi, answer this first, which would you yourself forgive someone for faster, if they cheated on you, or if they were watching porn?" Eunhyuk shifted his weight from one foot to the other. Donghae looked at Eunhyuk expectingly, his eyes a bit puffy and red, was he crying earlier??
"I would forgive them for the porn first..." he said meekly. You huffed once and put your hands on your hips, standing tall.
"Good answer, now, is it possible for one to still love someone else even if they watch porn?"
"Yes!" Eunhyuk cried out, as if the answer was that obvious, Donghae and Sungmin watched with interest and confusion at the scene before them.
"Good then, explain what really happened to Donghae-sshi then, go on." you gestured you hand toward Donghae and Eunhyuk faced Hae, uncertain about something.
"Hae....I...I have never cheated on you, not before and certainly not now. But I have been...watching porn and I guess Heechul-hyung found out and twitsed it to look like I was cheating on you. Please believe me, I didn't tell you earlier because I was embarrassed about it and a little ashamed. Can you forgive me?" Hyukkie looked at Hae hopefully. Donghae sighed and scratched the back of his head.
"I don't know, I guess I'm glad you aren't cheating on me, but you still didn't tell me the truth y'know? I think it'd be better if we talked about this some other time Hyukjae." you saw Eunhyuk flinch a bit as Donghae said 'Hyukjae'. With that, Donghae looked at the three of you and shook his head to himself before heading inside the school.
