After a 15 minute walk from Mingyu's house he finally reached home. It was already dark outside as he unlocked his front door and takes off his shoes and coat. He drops his keys on the table in the kitchen as he sees a sticky note on the fridge.

''Food is in the fridge just warm it up''

He opened the door of the fridge and took out the meal prepared for him. looking around in the fridge to find a drink he sees its almost empty. ''I guess I'll have to go by the convenience store tomorrow..'' he says to himself as he warms up the food.

After he's finished eating and cleaning up he goes upstairs into the washroom. Taking off his clothes before stepping under the shower. Letting out a relaxing sigh he lets the hot water hit his body. ''I guess I won't be really tutoring him after all'' he says to himself still thinking about the brown haired boy.

''I still wonder why she gave me so much money to tutor Mingyu..'' his thoughts kept wondering around his younger classmate as his shower was now taking well over 30 minutes. He shakes his head and turns off the water, drying himself he walks to his bedroom, everything neat and organized not a single paper out of place. Wonwoo took grade pride in keeping his room, or more to say his life, organized. But this new development might change that. He puts on a pair of sweatpants and a plain white shirt.

Taking out his books from his bag and finishes the last part of his English homework. For some reason it takes him longer than normal as his mind keeps wandering off. When he finally finishes its already passed midnight and he quickly brushes his teeth before heading to bed.

The next morning Wonwoo is one of the first to arrive at school. He walks up the staircase and through the dull white hallway towards his classroom. He takes his usual seat next to the window somewhere in the middle of the row.

Seokmin enters the classroom and smirks when he sees Wonwoo. ''Hey four eyes, how does my homework for the day look'' Seokmin says putting his hand on Wonwoo's shoulder rather harshly. Wonwoo jumps a bit from shock as he was to focused on reading he didn't hear or saw anyone come in. ''I-I finished it'' Wonwoo mumbles and bends down to his bag grabbing the homework of the other boy.

As soon as he pulls it out of his bag Seokmin rips the papers out of his hands. ''Thx, and you better not have made so many mistakes again!'' Seokmin says putting pressure on Wonwoo his shoulder. ''Oh and come to the back of the building after schools.'' He adds with a grin. ''I have some friends that want to meet you.'' And with that Seokmin leaves the classroom.

Wonwoo sighed he already knew what 'Friends' Seokmin was talking about. And their encounters usually didn't end that well.

Mingyu pulled up onto the schools parking lot. He missed the first half of the day but didn't really care as he parks his car he checks his hair in the back mirror. ''Good enough'' he mumbles before grabbing his bag and steps out of his car. After locking it he walks over to the school and arrives in his class just in time for English.

''ah Mr. Kim, how good of you to join us on this afternoon'' Ms Lee, the English teacher, said in a sarcastic tone. Mingyu just walked passed her and walked to the back of the class. There was a boy sitting in his chair. He glared at the smaller boy and hissed ''Get out''. But as the boy wanted to stand up Ms. Lee walked over. ''why don't you take that empty seat over there'' she pointed towards the seat behind Wonwoo.

''unless you rather to come here early for the next few days to secure your seat'' she added before walking back to the front of the class. Ms Lee was known for this, she didn't give detention but made her students come in an hour early and make them do extra work. Mingyu sighed and mumbled a ''fine'' as he was in no mood to come early for the next few days.

He sat down behind Wonwoo and stayed there for the rest of the remaining classes. Mingyu never really looked at Wonwoo before yesterday. As he now finds himself sitting behind the black haired elder boy he watched him work. Wonwoo had thick black hair, locks covering his forehead his hair wasn't that long but still longer then his own Mingyu thought by himself. A lighter skin tone, a pair of dorky glasses that Wonwoo only wore when reading, a simple shirt and trousers. Each time Wonwoo turned around to look over his shoulder Mingyu quickly looked away pretending to look outside. There wasn't much special about him, and still something made Mingyu interested in the elder...

During the lessonsWonwoo feels someone's eyes burning in his back, but turning around he saw no one looking at him. ''I'm imagining things'' he thinks to himself. The bell rang marking the end of lessons. He packs his bag as he stands up from one of his seat. He sees Seokmin walking over towards him and he gets grabbed by the arm ''Let's have some fun shall we'' Seokmin says with a smirk on his face as he drags Wonwoo outside the school.

Seokmin pushes him against the wall outside as a group of his friends surround him giving Wonwoo no way to escape. ''I need you to make an since essay for me'' Seokmin says with a smile . ''Can't you do that yourself'' Wonwoo says immediately regretting for talking back as a fist lands in his stomach. He crinkles up from the pain coughing as the punch drew out all the air he had in his lungs.

Seokmin pushes him back up. ''What did you say?'' he ask through his gritted teeth. ''you better finish it before next week you understand. And my parents expect a good grade'' Seokmin threatens hitting him on his jaw. Wonwoo falls down by the blow as a bit of blood runs down from the corner of his mouth.

''He Seokmin, look what I found'' one of the boys says who emptied out Wonwoo's bag and found the $100 in his wallet and gives it to Seokmin. ''Oh where did you get that kind of money?'' Seokmin goes on kicking Wonwoo's knee. ''None of your business'' Wonwoo hisses earning another kick in his stomach making him roll up from the pain.

''Well it seems like our little nerd found himself a source of money, bring another $100 next week okay four eyes?'' Seokmin says punching him a couple of times more before walking off laughing with his friends and Wonwoo's money.

Wonwoo groans as he gets up and packs his emptied out bag. He slowly walks over to Mingyu's house cause especially now he needed the money more than ever. he gives three short knocks on the front door as he hears Mingyu complain and a little later sees him open up.

Mingyu blinks and stares at the beaten up Wonwoo. ''What happened to you''he mumbles out trying to sound like he doesn't care. ''Let's get you cleaned up'' Mingyu says with a sigh and drags Wonwoo inside.
