Ignorance 2

"How was the coffee?"

Soobin scratches the back of his head, "I don't like how it tastes," he answered to Taehyun's question.

"Want me to make you a new one?" Taehyun suggested and heads to the apartment's kitchen.

"I'm good," Soobin just replied and open the TV.

"You should really careful about going out at night," Taehyun said while preparing for dinner as what he heard from the TV news. "I heard there's another kidnapping case and the victim ended up dead," he added.

"We're still going to die so why careful?" Soobin just stated.

Taehyun just nods at it, "You're right," he agreed and took out the vegetables that he's going to use. "Why Choi Yeonjun?" he asked out of the blue.

"He shines," Soobin replied and look at Taehyun's direction. "He shines so bright, Taehyun."

"That's all?" he asked again and glanced at the other.

"Others are yet to be discovered," Soobin answered.

"Will he still like you after witnessing you slap a woman that hard?"

"He should..." he pauses and smirks. "I'm Choi Soobin." Taehyun just scoffs at him after hearing that and continued what he's doing. "Did you just scoff at me?" Soobin asks.

"Nope."

"Did you just lie?"

"Yep."

"Want to die?"

"Not now."

Soobin laughs at their conversation. "I'm still wondering why you stick around me when I can clearly stab you anytime," he wonders and stood up. "That goes already because I'm Choi Soobin," he stated and went to his room.

After Taehyun heard Soobin's door closes, he quickly let go of the knife and he calm himself. He made a fist to hide how his hands shake. Taehyun feel confident and strong in any situation but not when he's with Choi Soobin.

Because he knows him well.

Of course, Soobin never considered him as a friend. He's just this someone who got tasked to clean up things for Soobin. He's nothing in Soobin's eyes but a person who can receive Soobin's rage in any minute that he will.

Well, if only he wasn't in great need, he won't be in this situation.













"He slapped someone? Hey! You shouldn't meet him again!" Kai blurted after hearing the story from Kai.

Yeonjun sighs and stirs his blue lemonade. "You're right... He's... unbelievable," he commented and sips.

"Yeonjun!"

Both look behind and saw one of Yeonjun's classmates approaching them. "Hey, what's up?" Yeonjun asks and the lady sits on the opposite of the table.

They started talking about a particular subject and Yeonjun being an approachable classmate made it easier for the woman. Hueningkai with his drink, noticed that Choi Soobin is approaching their table. He quickly poke Yeonjun with his elbow.

"Yes and we could edit this— what Kai?" Yeonjun got interrupted and Kai pointed Soobin that's already near them. "Oh God," he mutters.

"W-why?" the woman looks back in curiosity and her eyes widen in shock when she saw Soobin coming their way.

"Hello Yeonjun!" Soobin greeted enthusiastically to Yeonjun alone and didn't mind Kai and the lady.

"Hi Soobin," Yeonjun raised his hand in little to welcome him. "W-what's the matter?" he asks trying to composed himself.

Soobin didn't reply at him instead look at the woman. "Aren't you leaving?" he asks.

"W-why? Ah, I still have some things to discuss with Yeonjun," she reasoned.

"Go," Soobin simply commanded with his poker face.

"Ah, Soobin," Yeonjun calls him. "It's okay. You can sit beside her. Can you wait for five minutes?" Yeonjun tried to negotiate with a smile.

"Ah..." Soobin nods and smiles. "I can't," he opposed and quickly grabs Kai's drink and poured it onto the woman's head.

"H-hey!" the woman stands up and glares at Soobin. "You crazy son of a bitch!" she cursed him and dashed out.

Soobin wanted to grab the woman's hair but luckily Yeonjun grabs Soobin and they started walking away. Hueningkai laughs at what he just witnessed.

"Anti-social disorder, huh? Pretty interesting," Kai mutters. "Argh, that guy just poured all my drink," he irritably sighs.

Kai's about to stand up when a green-colored drink was placed on the table. "Lemonade went sold out faster than I thought. Will cucumber do?" the man who placed the drink said. "I'm Kang Taehyun, by the way."












"Let me go," Soobin commanded but Yeonjun refuses. "Let me go," he repeated and Yeonjun stops dragging him and stops walking on the empty hallways.

"You need to apologize," Yeonjun stated.

"Why would I?" Soobin frowns. "I told her to go and she didn't. She's the one who's wrong," he reasoned.

Yeonjun breathes out. "You are the wrong here, Soobin. She came to me first, we're talking something important, and you're the one who poured her the drink. You get what I mean?" he explained the situation.

"Yes," Soobin nods. "I came to you and told her to go which means she needs to stop whatever she's talking to you and leave but she didn't listen to me so I poured her the drink. She's the one who's wrong and I just did the consequences," Soobin justified his action. "Where's the wrong that I did?"

Yeonjun left speechless. He rested both of his hand on his hips and turn around to calm himself. He breathes in and out before facing Soobin again.

Yeonjun nods, "I'm sorry, Soobin," he apologizes instead. "It must be hard on your part as well that things are different from our perspectives."

Soobin frowns. "What do you mean by that? There are no any differences at all. This is what I think things are," he argued.

"N-no, no, I'm sorry," Yeonjun apologizes again and smiles. "I'm really sorry."

"What are you sorry for?" Soobin wonders. "Anyway, let's go. We're going somewhere," he invited.

"I-I still have class," Yeonjun declined and felt worried that Soobin might feel bad about it.

"So?"

"I need to attend it," Yeonjun answered.

"Really?" Soobin asks and Yeonjun nods. "Okay. See you around then," he just replied and casually left Yeonjun.

"That's it?" Yeonjun blinks twice and scoffs. "I should remind myself that Soobin has an illness before I lost myself," he stated to himself before walking back to his classroom.

As Yeonjun walks, he saw Choi Beomgyu so he quickly approaches him. "Beomgyu!" he calls him.

"Oh hello Yeonjun," Beomgyu greeted him full of smiles. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing really. I just wanna ask some tips from you about my campaign," Yeonjun asked.

"Ey," Beomgyu chuckles. "I know you'll win no matter what. Your popularity is at rise," Beomgyu teases him that made Yeonjun shy. "Anyway, just join my party once the campaign starts. Okay? My team will help you."

"Oh really!? Wow! Thank you so much!" Yeonjun bent to show his gratitude. "Thank you so much Beomgyu!" he added his exclaimed.

"We'll win, okay? See you around," Beomgyu taps his shoulders before waving a goodbye.

"Yes! Thank you so much!" Yeonjun continued even if he's already facing Beomgyu's back. He smiles by how Beomgyu showed his kindness towards him.













Choi Soobin stands up in the middle of his class and went out. His instructor didn't bother to stop him because this already happened everytime and even if Soobin ditches the whole lecture, he can still ace everything during practical and lecture exams.

He went inside the art studio 3 which became exclusive to him because his classmates don't want to be in the same room with him. He pulled his large sketch pad and his charcoal pencils. While preparing his things, his phone sounds. He looks at the screen notifications and blankly stares at it for seconds.

[Schedule: Consultation with Dr. Ahn HYBE Cardiothoracic and Transplant Hospital]

He shoved his phone back and starts with random scribbles on the blank paper. When Soobin sketches, there is no specific topic in his mind. He just draws what he feels to draw with. After minutes of blankly sketching he pauses when he realize what he's been drawing all this time. Soobin gently puts down the pencil and tilted his head while looking at what he drew.

"Who's that?" another voice heard inside the room after the door closes. "Why is his face blank? Who are you trying to draw?"

Soobin didn't reply. He stares at his right hand that has some taints of the charcoaled pencil. He tried to rub it away with his other hand but the smudges went even messier.

Kang Taehyun, the one who asked, went closer to him and holds Soobin's hand. He took out some wet tissues from his bag and started cleaning Soobin's palm.

"You know I like it more when you curse than you're quiet, Soobin," Taehyun speaks and Soobin just stares at him. "Something's bothering you? What is it? Tell me."

Kang Taehyun being with Soobin eversince he was a kid up until Soobin's confirmation of his mental disorder, made him knew almost everything about him. He knows Soobin's emotions despite of it being unstable and unpredictable. Well, Taehyun really should, it's his job to look after Soobin afterall. Eventhough Taehyun knows that a sociopath like Soobin who can't feel remorse to others and cannot decipher other's emotion, Soobin himself has self-centered emotions.

"Choi Yeonjun," Soobin mentioned and glance at the almost-portrait that he drew that lacks facial anatomy.

"Hmm? What's with him?" Taehyun asks as he keeps on wiping Soobin's palm but he pauses when he heard what Soobin stated. He slowly looks at Soobin and he's smirking while looking at the sketch pad.

"You heard it right, Taehyun. I want to kill Choi Yeonjun..."
