Another day at school after the election day, the gossips about Soobin and Yeonjun started to spread out like a wildfire. Soobin doesn't care, of course he did what he wanted but on the other hand, students became uneasy towards Yeonjun after that. Some started doubting him, some started hating on him, some avoided him with the thought that he's on Soobin's side now— and that they are actually dating.

Choi Beomgyu, who's walking on the pathway while on his free time, noticed one of the students posting some flyers on a wall. He approached her and says, "Hey, excuse me?" and the woman turns around to see him. "I'm sorry but you're not allowed to post flyers on the wall. We have information corner for every department, I can help you with it," he suggested with a smile.

"Beomgyu," she calls him and the other paid attention. "Beomgyu please help me. This is my friend, she doesn't study here but she lives around the area. She went missing for two days and we don't know where to find her," she states in her shaky voice and reach for Beomgyu's hand which he quickly hold on back. "Please, Beomgyu," she pleaded, eyes wanted to cry out.

"Of course, I will. I will help you with all I can, okay? Come, give me some of those. I'll make the council help too. Don't worry about this anymore, okay?" he assured her and smiles.

"Thank you, Beomgyu. Thank you so much," she expressed while giving some of the flyers and left.

Beomgyu sighs and reads the context of the poster before flipping his phone to open, presses the keyboard to look for a number to dial. "Hello, Detective Jeon?"

(Oh, young Choi! How are we these days?)

"Ah yes... Well, can I get some help?"

(Anything for you, Beomgyu. Tell me, what is it?)

"There's another woman missing right now. Her name's Tak Sae Ron, 21 years of age. Folk said she's missing for two days now without any trace. Can you help me with this?"

(A missing case again… Sighs. When is your free time so we can discuss more about this?)

"Oh, I can make my way there tonight, Detective. How about the last one missing student? Have you found her?"

(Yes… Unfortunately… She's already dead and in a really bad shape.)

"H-how bad?"

(Mutilated... Her face is barely recognizable. If it wasn't for one thumb that hasn't been damage, we won't identify her...)

Beomgyu pauses for second can't really process what he just heard before they continue talking about what time they will meet for tonight and the call ended. He sighs before he shoves the phone back to his pockets and continued walking. While at that, he sight Soobin eating alone in one of the outside tables of the campus. He moves towards his direction and sits adjacent to him. Soobin doesn't care at all.

"You seem to be alone..." Beomgyu speaks up. "Where's Taehyun?"

"I don't know," Soobin shortly replied.

Beomgyu just nods at his reply, believing the other. "How are you going to face Yeonjun after what you did?" he asked again.

Soobin raises his gaze to meet Beomgyu's. "Why do you care about the things I'll do?"

"Because I don't want things to happen again, Choi Soobin," he answered him straight and serious.

Soobin smirks, "Oh really? I don't think you can stop me this time though?"

"Really, what do you want from Yeonjun?" Beomgyu frowns.

Soobin's smirk turns into grin. "I'm not sure... What really is? I wonder," he replied and let out a chuckle before eating again. "No need to worry. This time, it'll be totally different."

"I don't believe you..."

"And so I am to you."

Choi Soobin made his way to where Yeonjun's class hall is but before he could even enter the hall, Eric blocks him. "What the heck are you doing here?" he said right away.

"Where's Choi Yeonjun?" Soobin just asks.

"Why the hell do you care? You're ruining him right now," Eric stated and Soobin frown a bit. "You don't know? Most of his advertisements and sponsors withdraw about what you did. If you're a fag why involve my friend?" Eric taunted on him.

"So he's not here?"

"How can he even show up after what you did? You know what, just get lost and don't ever show your face agaiin," Eric states and aggressively close the hall door in front of Soobin.

Soobin remains unfazed and walk away while dialing Yeonjun's number but it just keep on ringing so he just ends it. With desperation, he went to Kai instead to ask. "Why do you want to see him after what you did?" Kai asks in a calm manner, suppressing his attitude towards Soobin.

"To apologize," Soobin just replied.

Kai frowns, "You know how to do that? Does that even mean anything to you?" he asks.

"Will you tell me or I'll smack you right now?" Soobin smiles at him.

Hueningkai suddenly felt chills after Soobin did that expression which creeps him out. Kai clears his throat. "Look, if you're really apologetic just please be sincere, can't you do that? Knowing how soft that guy is, he'll surely forgive you in a minute but at least... be sincere," he requested and breathes out.

"That's why I want to meet him," Soobin replied.

"Because if I were Yeonjun… I won't really let it pass," he continued instead and sighs once more.

"Where did you bring Taehyun yesterday?" Soobin asked out of the blue.

"We just had some ice cream outside and talk about some things," Kai answered. "He looks like he really needs a breather so I took him out and I think I made a great help," he added.

Soobin stares at him for seconds before nodding. "Now, tell me where Yeonjun is," he demanded.

Kai sighs, "There's an old library called "종결(Jeonggyeol)" it's located near HYBE Hospital. You can find him at the rooftop of the old building," he answered.

Soobin didn't say anything and turn his back but Kai speaks again, "Aren't you going to thank me at least?"

Soobin almost rolled his eyes, "I really wanna slap you right now," he replied instead and completely walks away that made the younger scoffs at him for being ungrateful.

Choi Soobin with his car started driving on the road to find that library. It only took him half an hour to search and he decided to park on an empty space and head in Jeonggyeol.

“Welcome!” the old man, who’s seems to be that owner greeted Soobin as soon as he enter. Yet, knowing this guy’s personality, he didn’t even bother looking back at him and he just proceeds on looking for the stairs but he pauses when he saw who his looking for.

Soobin directed his feet on the last shelf of the old and a little messy library. Of course, there aren’t many scholars who’s inside but he saw at least two students earlier looking for certain book.

Choi Yeonjun is seated on the floor; legs are extended almost reaching the next shelf with his feet. He’s back is rested on the books that are placed on the shelf and his hand holding a book which he reads.

Choi Soobin mindlessly grabs a book from the shelf, sit on the floor, almost adjacent to Yeonjun. He opens the book but his eyes are pierced at Yeonjun.

Yeonjun’s about to flip a page when his eyes noticed Soobin which made him startle for a second. “You scared me!” he reacted in whisper. “Why are you in here? How did you find me?”

“Hueningkai,” Soobin answered.

“That kid sold me?” he frowns and Soobin’s just staring at me. Yeonjun chuckles in softly. “Kidding… Why are you looking for me?” he asks and place the book beside him.

“To apologize?” Soobin’s brows knit a bit, unsure of what he said.

“Do you even know how it should be done and why people do that?” Yeonjun asks him in not condemning way but in his usual kid-talk voice full with calmness.

Soobin stays silent. “You should be grateful instead,” he stated and breathes out.

“Tell me, why did you stop me yesterday?” Yeonjun asks and smiles.

“Just…”

“Soobin,” Yeonjun called him and move a bit closer. “People somehow needed to know what the reasons behind someone’s action are. That’s in order for us not to misunderstand anything. So, if you won’t tell me why you stopped, I might misunderstood it for something else,” he smiles.

“You don’t need to know anything. I did what I should and that’s for you as well. Misunderstood me or what, I don’t care. If that’s how you see my action then it’s fine,” Soobin stated as reply.

Yeonjun bit his lowerlip and let out soft chuckles. He gently nods and smiles at Soobin. “Okay, I’m sorry if I thought you wrong. Whatever your reasons are, I hope it’s really for me.”

“Did I really stop you that day, or did you stop it yourself?”

Yeonjun’s smiles slowly fade out and he stares at Soobin. He blink twice, now that he blinks, he realized that Soobin barely blinks. Anyway, it made him think.

Actually, it could be true. Despite of Soobin interrupting him during his speech and kissing him in front of the crowd, knowing the influence that he has and knowing how student’s treats Soobin, he can actually make Soobin a villain and push through his candidacy that could make him win real quick.

But Yeonjun didn’t do it that way. So, was it really Soobin that stopped him or he stopped himself?

Beomgyu must be right, Yeonjun really needs to be careful whenever he’s with Soobin. He’s totally unpredictable. He speaks something you can get anxious and confused.

And yet…

“Who knows?” Yeonjun chuckles. “Maybe I don’t really wanna run at all,” he smiles. “Maybe it was really I.”

Soobin breathes in and out then he lean closer to Yeonjun. Yeonjun stays still. “You’re so bright,” he commented.

“Bright like…?”

“You shines,” Soobin clarified. “And it’s attracting me so bad. Yeonjun, can I be your friend?”

Friend…

“But friends don’t kiss each other,” Yeonjun cracks a joke.

“Then we could go over that,” Soobin simply stated.

“Hey,” Yeonjun stops him right away. He sighs, “Instead of being a friend, can I be your pin?”

“What pin?” Soobin frowns.

“You’re like a time-bomb, Soobin. No one knows when you are going to explode. That’s why, let me help you. Let me calm you when you’re worked up. Let me take you outside if you needed to breathe. Let’s have some fun instead of smashing people out. How’s that?” he suggested.

“Does that mean we can kiss?”

Yeonjun couldn’t hold it anymore and he laughs, a bit louder than his chuckles. “You, why did you kiss me? Tell me, Soobin.”

“You’re pretty,” Soobin quickly replied. “At some point, I want to claim you mine. I want you to by property. I want to take you in wherever I go,” he stated.

“You know what? If you just said those in a soft manner, I would already fall and my heart will beat like crazy. But, your eyes are so dead,” he smiles. “Soobin, let’s work our emotions up and let’s start understanding people’s feelings, shall we?”

Soobin stares at him before looking down and he smirks before staring at Yeonjun back. “Then be my pin, Yeonjun. Let’s have some fun.”
