Bab 3: butterfly effect
He dropped at the teacher office before making his way to class 2-2.
He could see a bunch of students in the hallway, laughing and chatting among them.
He didn't smiled or instead, he couldn't.
"Who is that?"
"A first year?"
"But he looks tall to be first year,"
"Nah, you just short."
He could hear murmured as he walked past them.
Yeongje tried his best to appear calm as he swiftly walked along the hall. After he felt like internity, he finally arrived in front of the door 2-2 classroom.
But before he could step inside, someone from the classroom ran and bumped him, almost making him fall backwards.
"A sh*t watch where you going," he says in an annoyed tone before he runs toward the stairs that lead to the 3rd floor where the 9th grade is.
I don't remember this happening before...is it because i decided to arrive early?
The butterfly effect is already taking place. Oh well, i knew that sooner or later, it's gonna be different since i will change my course of action.
He ignored the boy who bumped him as he made his way to the classroom.
YeongJe could see a few students already arrived and was having a conversation among themselves. He assumed it must be related to their holiday.
Yeongje felt the stared that was directly thrown at him, he walk in an unhurried move before stopping briefly in front of one particular desk at the very back.
He stared at it for a second before glancing right and left. He then made a U turn as he chose to sit the very front seat at the first row beside the door.
I can't make the same mistake, just with one action, this could change my life.
As he ponders quietly, he feels a few presence walking towards him. He turned his head to the left as he saw a few people coming in his direction.
It's them...
"Hello! Are you new here?" A short boy with a cheerful voice greeted him
"Obviously, duh! Hey, what's your name?" Another boy with charming eyes slid into the conversation.
"You the one who to talk," the short boy says as he looks towards his friends, with deadpan.
"That's called basic courtesy," the boy with charming eyes argued back.
As the two of them bickering among them, their's other friends shook their head as he looked at Youngje with a warm smile.
"Hello, there's! My name is Lee Minho, and that two over there is Park Jiho and Park Jiwon, and this guy beside me is Sam Dongyul."
The guy beside him, Dongyul awkwardly waves at him.
Youngje waves back as he gently smile "my name is Han Yeongje, I just move here from ulsan."
"Ulsan?" The short guy Jiho chime in as he quickly runs beside him.
"Do you know Lee taek?" He asked excitedly.
The boy from before hit Jiho head as he said coldly, "Are you dumb? How could he know Lee taek?"
Jiwon shook his head before shifting his gaze toward Yeongje.
"Sorry for my dumb friend, anyway..." He glared at Yeongje before continuing his sentence."Who do you vote on, flower boy?"
Jiwon glared intensely at Yeongje, and he felt as if a hole would appear on his face.
"Uh, sorry about that," Minho apologized as he dragged Jiwon to the side.
They were whispering about something, and before Yeongje could read their's lip, Jiho appeared in front of him, blocking his view excitedly.
"Hey, do you know me?" His eyes twinkling as he expected an answer.
Yeongje pretended as if he was trying to recall some of his memory.
"Ehmmm..." After a few seconds, he finally done pretending as he act surprised.
"Oh my gosh, aren't you the 4clover!" He stood up and clapped his head in excitement.
Jiho grinned as he raised his chin before replying proudly. " Hehehe, Behold! Your favourite 4clover here are standing right before you!"
"UWOOOOO," Yeongje screamed dramatically as his mouth almost turned into 0, as his eyes were so wide that it almost dropped his eyeballs. His whole body is treambling in excitement.
It's a ridiculous scene where Yeongje acts dramatically , and he almost looks cartoons.
With such commotion, both Jiwon and Minho turn around in perplexed, while Dongyul, who had been watching the intired thing, stands nervously.
...
Jiwon watches Jiho like how Lion looks at its cub. Jiho smiled guiltily while standing in the corners hiding behind Dongyul.
A few minutes ago, both Minho and Jiwon closed Jiho mouth in synchronise.
According to what Minho explained. Turns out they aren't supposed to tell other who they are as they have to hide theirs identity.
Moreover, their's parent already signed a contract with the producer.
"Don't worry, I will keep this secret between us!" Yeongje shook his head as he put both his index finger on his mouth, crossing each other, forming an X shape.
Minho sighed in relief as he glared at Jiho.
"Seriously, Jiho,you keep doing this. If the manager hears about this, we gonna get scold again,
Again?
Yeongje turned his head towards Jiho, who was still hiding behind Dongyul.
"I-i just...Want people to know about us!" He raised his voice, but then he hid himself again behind Dongyul.
Three of them sigh, and suddenly, the atmosphere turn solemn.
Yeongje noticed the change quickly asked in curious tone, "Is it because of the vote?"
Minho nodded. "That's right, i don't know if you know..."
I don't.
"But our rank in recent episodes are in a dangerous place," he smiled sadly.
Jiwon groans as he slams his hand on the desk beside him. "That just not fair. They have the whole company backing them with tons of marketing."
Dongyul, who was silent this entire time, finally speaks. "A-and since t-they already had a solid f-fanbase-" he stops as he takes his breath.
"S-so that u-nder..und...unde..." He stopped again as he was struggling to say the words.
Jiho, who was hiding behind him, whispered to him.
Dongyul nodded to him. He repeatedly said the words before he finally continued his sentence.
"So i-it's un..der...stan..able?" He stopped again as he looked around, waiting for his friends approval.
Jiwon nodded gently as Dongyul face beams happily.
"Thank y-you," whisper Dongyul to Jiho while smiling happily.
Which in response Jiho nodded before adding, "That's right! Even though they were wearing a mask to cover their face,theirs's fan know it's was them. It's so unfair!"
Jiho said furiously.
Ah, of course it was about this.
Yeongje nodded, indicating he understood.
"Then I will try to spread the words to my other friends to vote for you!" He says in enthusiasm like a fanboy.
Minho and the other smile happily when YoungJe offered to help.
"Thank you," Minho said along with the others.
The bell rang as it had already reached 8 am. All the students quickly take theirs seat and wait for theirs homeroom teacher.
Even Minho and the other went back to theirs respective seat, far left end near the window. With Minho in the front, following Jiwon, Jiho, and Dongyul seat behind him
Yeongje was too immersed in their's conversation that he didn't relised other students had already arrived, and some of them even glanced at him.
Ignoring others, he quickly fell into deep thoughts.
Before this, I was too obsessed with wanting to be the popular boy. That when Minho came over to greet me, i was acting all cocky and thrown insult at him. Resulting Jiwon,Jiho, and Dongyul, look at me in a bad light. Since then that the last time they ever talked to me or even glanced at me.
They are also the very person that i could never pass in terms of popularity.
The whole school know about them as the 'popular' boy, and later on becoming even popular after they are revealed to be the 4clover. They had to change school and even live somewhere else.
At that time, i could still remember how i try to get close to them, acting like we're an old friend or something.
Gosh! Why am I so dumb! It so embarrassing!!
Yeongje feels like punching his past self, stuffed a bunch of dirt before stomping on his head until it gets buried deep underground. Never to be seen ever again.
While he is feeling all embarrassing, he suddenly hears his name being called.
"Han Yeongje"
He raised his head and met his eyes with his homeroom teacher, Mr Kim.
"Would you mind introducing yourself?" He asks again with no unreadable expression.
Yeongje feels goosebumps as the attention shifts towards him.
At last, with no choice, he stood up from his seat and made his way to the front of the classroom.
Yeongje glanced at the intired class before focusing his gaze towards the wall and the window as he spoke.
"Good morning. My name is Han Yeongje. I just moved around here, and i am still new, i hope we could be friends."
He bowed slightly after finishing his introduction.
The teacher nodded, giving permission for him to retreat to his seat.
Mr Kim cleared his throat before he spoke. "Since we now have a new classmate, I hope you guys behaved and show a good attitude towards a newcomer."
Finishing up his speech, he started to check the students' attendance before starting class.
Mr Kim teach them math and moving on to English, continuing on with history. After 3 classes, they finally had lunch.
He walked confidently to the cafeteria and bought his favourite coklat bun along side with strawberry milk without any difficulties.
He was about to exit the cafeteria when someone bumped his shoulder, almost making him lose balance.
Feeling irritated, that person curses him under his breath before walking away.
This is the second time someone bumped him. With no apologies.
He was slightly upset but decided to let it go since he believed being all mad won't be worth it.
He fastened his step, walking towards one location that only he knew.
But he stopped abruptly when he saw the unexpected event that had taken place at the very place he loved.
Yet another butterfly effect...
