odyssey
“The school bell rang as the students and teacher trickled in, “Good morning, class.” The teacher said trying to shush the students,
“Good morning, Teacher. ” A few students replied, and started sitting in the old creaky desks. “We have a new student today,” some of the students started murmuring, he paused smiled and pushed what I only could assume the new student. “Say hi, Hoseok.” Hoseok just stood, after the most awkward 30 seconds of my life, he broke out into a smile and waved, managed a little nod, what’s his deal?
He sat next to me in the empty desk no one sat in, because it was next to me. I looked over and he was looking me in the eyes, the smile still on his face, “Hello, it’s been awhile Yoongi.” I froze, “How have you been? ” he smiled while saying that, how the hell does he know my name, how the hell does he know me.
“h-hello. ” I state so quick, I think it startled both of us, he smiled and opened his mouth to say something, but closed it soon after. I wonder what he was going to say, Hoseok didn’t say anything the rest of the day.
Chapter one: an odyssey
“ Hello? Yoongi are you in there? “ Oh no, I must have zoned out. I wake up to the sound of Hoseok’s voice I could wake up too that every morning. A blush covers my face. “ are you ok, yoongi?” what the hell was that thought, it’s not like I like him! He’s a guy!
“ huh..oh yeah I’m here. “ what the hell is wrong with me, I look over at the clock
9:23
“Shit!” I scream without thinking, did I say that out loud, a confused look covers Hoseok’s face then he looks over at the clock and starts chuckling.
“ Woah, that clocks are broken it’s only 6:23” he laughs, my face gets red from the embarrassment, and I swear for a split second I see Hoseok blush too.
“ so about you knowing me without knowing you-” he cuts me off with a look of shock.
“ you don’t remember me?....” he trailed off, well now I feel bad god damn it Hoseok with yo- the thought was cut off by sniffles, I look up and see him..crying?
“Ahh! I-i didn’t mean it to sound like you’re not memorable I just have a really bad memory!” and just like that Hoseok hugged me. W-what the?! And he let go just as fast
“ Sorry! I didn’t mean to- I-I’ll get out of your hair!” then he ran out of the classroom, me still in shock still like a statue, “ it’s okay.” I whisper to myself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I follow him a few minutes later, 6:40. maybe a bit more than a few minutes. I walk down the hall to my locker; it’s raining, I should get my umbrella. I grab my shoes and pull the umbrella out of my bag.
The sound oh my shoes petering on the wet ground filling my head, I hope Hoseok’s okay, wait why do i care i barely know him! I slap myself trying to get a hold of my dumb head, then I see Hoseok in the rain sitting on the bench by the convenient store down my street, “Hoseok what are you doing out in the rain? you’re going to catch a cold.”
“That’s okay, i can’t go home anyway.” why did he smile when he said that,
” You still shouldn’t be in the rain!” i protest,
” I don’t have a choice!” he yelled back,
” Come with me, then you won’t be in the rain.” i couldn’t help but feel like i’ve known this guy for years, but why was that.
By the time we got to my house, he was almost done eating his Samgyeopsal on a stick, “How are you feeling?” I asked still a bit worried.
“Great!” he says with pork still in his mouth
“Don’t talk with food in your mouth!” I scold but he just laughs
“Are you a kid Hoseok? ”
“Maybe a little, but I’m still more grown then you~” he smirks.
“Yeah right” I mutter,
“What was that? kid,” oh your just being an ass now
“Oh shut up we’re here, and the rain isn’t going to stop anytime soon” I lead him to my room,
“You live alone?” Hoseok asked.
“My mom and dad live in Japan, so yeah. well at least till they come back to Seoul” Hoseok’s face reddens. I lead him to my bed “Here you can sleep on the bed I call the floor” i get the blankets out of my closet and hand Hoseok one, “In case you get cold”
“T-thanks” why is he so worked up, I what could it be- a blush covered my face, fuck I probably look like a tomato, no ones fucking home and he’s sleeping in my bed. i start to feel the tingle. fuck fuck fuck, “Ah I’ll shower first!” Hoseok smiled and nodded. oh my god if i don’t get out of here quick I’m done for;
