SPECIAL CHAPTER I
2016-2018 — hyung line

seungwoo, seungyoun, and wooseok had a rough start.

and somewhat it started from a kind of cliche plot: seungyoun and wooseok were running late, seungwoo was the one in patrol of the students. wooseok and seungyoun never necessarily interacted with each other, but because they were from the same class and they were faced by the same circumstances, they decided to work together to find their way to into the school without any trouble.

"you got any ideas?" seungyoun asks the latter.

"you're rich, right? a few bucks will do—"

"no."

"it's practical."

"it's illegal." seungyoun says tensely.

"breaking and entering is illegal but i don't see you complaining."

"hey! we ain't breaking anything, we're just entering." they take a peek as to who they had to face. seungwoo sits in front of the gate alone, staring into the distance.

"i know!" wooseok raises his voice.

"hm?"

"you hold him off, i go in."

"and what about me..?"

wooseok features with his hand. "ka-ching."

"no! just, no." seungyoun shakes his head. "why is everything money for you?!"

wooseok pauses to think, then he suggest again. "i know, i know!"

"what?"

"something i saw from a tv show, i swear it'll work." wooseok offers his hand.

"what?"

"rock, paper, scissors."

oh god no. seungyoun definitely knows for sure that he's going to lose, but he did it anyway.

he did lose.

well, at least it was worth the try.

"alright then, get on my back." wooseok orders him immediately.

"i'm sorry?"

"get on my back, i'll carry you."

"are you sure you're not mistaken?" seungyoun sneers. "i'll squish you."

"i beg your pardon?"

wooseok's glare was to scary for him to go against.

seungwoo was sitting in front of the school gates minding his own business when suddenly a voice calls out. "HELP, HELP!"

he immediately gets up from his chair as he sprints towards where the voice comes from. turns out a student he wasn't familiar of were running towards his way, carrying a student twice his height behind his back. "HELP, HE'S UNCONSCIOUS, HELP—"

the student tumbles to the ground, automatically bringing down the person he was carrying with him. seungwoo eyes widen in shock. "oh my, are you okay?!"

that wasn't planned out, wooseok was just too small to carry seungyoun's tall body.

so seungwoo helped to carry the 'unconscious' seungyoun to the infirmary, with wooseok following from behind. seungyoun could clearly feel that they were now indoors, and he's relieved because he finally got into the school premises without getting into trouble. he gets placed on the bed gently. wooseok quickly eradicates. "i'm going to call the nurse."

seungwoo nods as the boy exits for a bit, leaving him and seungyoun behind. he sits down beside the unconscious boy and sighs, before a thought suddenly appears in his head that might help the boy recover.

seungyoun listens to the boy's thoughts thoroughly. what if i massage him slowly, perhaps the fire will help his tense muscles?

seungyoun escapes seungwoo's touch by rolling himself out of the bed, falling against the hard ground.

"yah, are you okay?!"

wooseok appears from the nurse's cabinet, staring at the in concern. "what happened, what was that noise?"

"you were about.. you were about to burn me," seungyoun says in fear as he quickly gets up from the floor, resisting the pain of his aching body. "i know i did a mistake, but don't just cremate me alive like that!"

"cremate you— what are you talking about?!"

"and you—" seungyoun points at wooseok dramatically. "wow, your heart's beating so fast. are you scared that because i've exposed him, i'll be exposing you right? right?"

"no, i'm just scared of you," wooseok turns to seungwoo. "i really thought we were faking it but turns out he really does need a doctor. you want me to call one?"

"yes, please do tell that we have an escaped mental hospital patient right here."

"ah, you're both going so defensive, it's becoming too obvious." seungyoun grins. "scared, aren't ya? your heartbeats are increasing." he points at seungwoo. "fire."

seungwoo gulps at the mention of his power.

"and you.." seungyoun points at wooseok. "ah, i'm feeling lucky today.. is it the exact opposite, water?"

and in just a second the things surrounding wooseok turns into ice. seungyoun chuckles. "gotcha."

"how did you know this?" seungwoo asks carefully.

and just like that, each of their powers are exposed.

—

"he's going to kill you." jinhyuk reminds him.

"correction, he's gonna kill seungyoun first then he's gonna kill me." wooseok says cooly. "it was his idea, and i was the one who chose to not to elaborate."

"well why didn't you?" the latter coincides. "you're the one in charge of the election, he might as well blame you."

"he enjoys being the school body president, i don't see why you're so against this."

"yeah he likes it, but do you really think he wants to do it again?" jinhyuk sighs. "you really are unbelievable. he won't forgive you, ever."

"i thought of the risks." wooseok hums. "chances of him burning the school down.. is a fifty-fifty."

"and you thought this was a good idea?"

"hey, it's a win-win. if he loses, we won't get in trouble. if we win, school's out forever." he grins. "anyway, putting his name as a candidate was a joke. you really think he's going to win in these circumstances?"

"okay, ladies and gentlemen, we've counted the votes!" seungyoun announces in front of the students, stopping jinhyuk and wooseok from continuing their conversation. "alright then, stay calm everyone. i know you're scared but trust me, the results are from your hands and your hands only. you won't be disappointed."

he receives a card from the vote counters. "alright, thank you sweetie." he heads to the crowd again and waves the card up high. "are you ready?"

"YES!"

"are you ready?!"

"YES!"

"fuck, he's just like dora the explorer." jinhyuk whispers to wooseok. wooseok laughs lightly.

"alright, here we go!" he opens the card. "and the winner is..."

drumroll...

"OH MY GOD!"

he throws the card away, jumping out of surprise. the crowd stares at him strangely, wondering what exactly happened to him. "oh my god.. oh my god.."

feeling mildly disturbed by him being dramatic, joy heads towards the fallen card and reads the card herself. "please welcome this year's student body president, HAN! SEUNG! WOO!"

so what started as a joke became the bitter reality; seungwoo got elected as the student body president two times.

the first one in xigma high's history.

was it allowed..? well, uh..

it's han seungwoo.

everyone wants him as the leader, and no rules are able to abide it.

—

"i hate him."

seungyoun was having a one-on-one practice with an interesting tenth grader who got into the football team because of his natural skills, lee hangyul. he did not expect the session to end up as a time for hangyul to rant about his actual feelings.

"who is this?" seungyoun says. "spill the tea."

hangyul kicks the ball aggressively, letting out his dislike. "KIM YOHAN!"

seungyoun nods his head in advance. "ah, is he a classmate of yours?"

"yes." hangyul scowls. "and i hate him. there's nothing in this world that could surpass my hatred towards him."

"you said the same yesterday for math."

"nothing in this world.. except for math. i hate math."

"what about him?" seungyoun asks softly as he passes the ball again.

"i hate.. i hate how he's so perfect."

seungyoun stops running. "wait, say what now?"

hangyul squirms. "he's just so perfect in everything, it took god a longer time creating him than anyone else. god took my time when he was creating yohan, that's why he's near to flawless."

"near to flawless? wooseok hates that kid to bits, don't think that's the case here." seungyoun scoffs. "what made you think like that?"

hangyul purses his lips. "the teacher wants him to be the leader of the taekwondo team."

"ah.. isn't it obvious, though?"

hangyul shoots him a look.

"what? i heard he's at the highest tier of the black belt for a guy his age," seungyoun points out. "what, so you're mad at him because of that one petty thing?"

"he's handsome." hangyul mutters. "and annoying. and he makes me want to pry my eyes out."

".. well you're pretty much the same," before hangyul could even say anything, seungyoun raises his voice. "oh won't you look at that, that's kim yohan right there!"

hangyul grabs his hand. "what are you doing?"

"let's finish this face to face. kim yohan!"

hangyul wishes for yohan to get deaf even for this moment, but turns out reality has something else prepared for him. yohan turns to the two boys after hearing his name called. "yes?"

"c'mere, hangyul wants to see you— hangyul!"

but hangyul has already escaped from seungyoun's grip, nowhere to be found. yohan heads towards seungyoun, a slight smirk appears in his face. "what's wrong?"

seungyoun sighs. "nothing. hangyul wanted to say something to you earlier but he chickened out."

"ah, he must've had wanted to confess his love for me." yohan has a smug look on his face, fanning his hair dramatically. "i know, i'm really just that attractive~"

"oh god, you both definitely share the same brain cell." seungyoun mutters.

"ah, please pass this to wooseok-hyung, won't you darling?" yohan grabs a couple of colored pens from his bag. "borrowed them."

"borrowed? he's been asking where these pens have been for weeks!" seungyoun exclaims as he snatches the pens and used it to hit yohan on the head. "you don't know how much PAIN i've gotten through because of this, it's like his whole life depends on them! he threatens on draining the water out from my body four times, FOUR TIMES—"

"oh my, how much i would pay to see that." yohan grins widely. "here, return it. i need it for research."

seungyoun throws him a look before returning those pens back to his pockets. "wooseok hates you with every inch of his body."

yohan sneers. "that's not a lot of inches."
