Chapter 21 - CHAPTER TWENTY: What's Wrong with you?

Another peaceful day in school still worries Han Beom, knowing fully well a storm will come at the end and he was kinda worried what that storm will contain that'll break him down.

That's one of the problems Han Beom has had for too long, after he became conscious of his dreams and what they're able to tell him, he had been wary of the surrounding, that's probably why he looks older than those his age, he has been busy worrying about stuff not worth filling his brain now and at this age.

All those his age have been enjoying everyday in their life not worrying themselves of tomorrow and what it's holding for them, they know fully well they'll age before others if they worried about useless stuff and most of them hated that idea but in cases like Han who had been busy by everything for too long now... As said before, he's different case.

Aera had told him to stop thinking and to just live the moment but such a thing is hard, habits are hard to die after all, but he is trying his best right now. Not only that, Aera had even told him to change his look a bit when he's at school but Han isn't a fan of attention, he can't imagine how everyone would become after seeing him in a new light, so he decided to do it slowly, since this is the first day after shopping with Aera he started by wearing one of the new sport shoes they got.

Luckily for him, no one seemed to notice, only few eyes that whispered when they noticed it but that wasn't troublesome for Han, this is the amount of attention he can deal with, any more and he might take a break from all this new look thingy and leave it only when he meets up with Aera.

Classes started and everything was fine taking Han's mind away from the storm inside his head. Break time came and he went to eat in the cafeteria, everything was calm, no troubles at all, after he finished eating he went to the bathroom to wash his hands, when he entered, he was met with sharp eyes for none than Ho Seok. He washed his hands not taking his eyes off of them, he's afraid if he raises his head Ho Seok will be beside him and staring at him with his scary eyes that are filled with hatred.

Once he turned off the water stream and turned to leave, a big body and two arms blocked all his escape paths, Han Beom knotted his eyebrows and looked Ho Seok in the eyes, the big guy shivered but he then got back his composer, "what's wrong with you? You never dared to look me in the eyes but here you are standing in front of me with a different aura. If I want to describe it... It's like a beast's... For how long have you been quiet to cause such a side of yours to reveal like... That?"

"I'm only showing it to you Ho Seok because you're the only one bothering me" Han said with a clear voice free from shivers and fear. That tune pissed off Ho Seok, he suddenly want to punch his head into the wall from anger but he can't bring himself to do so so he decided to try and use words.

"What did I do to receive such treatment? I have been taking care of you, I taught you a move or two to could protect yourself, I fed you from what we'd buy, I protected you whenever you'd be bullied by other students. So what did I do wrong?" Han sneered at what he just heard from the big guy in front of him, he suddenly had the argue to punch him in his guts as strong as his fist can and watch him fall into his knees so he can look up and feel how it was for him before he correct every sentence he had just said.

"Heh, helping me you say?" Han started his eyes catching Ho Seok's before his expression turned ugly scaring him forcing him to take a step back, "what do you mean by helping? Huh?! Let me correct you mister-not-so-nice! First thing first, you never taught me a thing, all I received was punches by your minions, if there are someone you had taught that'd be the idiots following you around! Secondly, I never ate from what I bought for you all, let me remind you I am the one who'd always go and buy your launch from the cafeteria, and you don't even let me get myself something to eat and if I bring something you and your minions would take it away and eat it all by. Your. Self!!!" He said the last words while poking Ho Seok's chest forcing his body to take few steps back.

"And lastly! What do you mean by "protecting me from other's bullies?" You never stopped your minions to stop anyone else's and if you do that you'd do it to get the girl's attention as the oh-so-good-and-sweet-senior~" Han finished his face getting more and more red from anger, his porcelain like skin changed colors for the first time in front of Ho Seok, he found himself mesmerized by this change that his hand acted on it's own and touched Han's cheek.

"The fuck do you think you're doing?" Han said coldly forcing Ho Seok's mind to come back to Earth and pull his hand away, 'I- I'm so-"

"I don't give a damn about what you want to give as an excuse Ho Seok but whatever it is, never ever dare to think of me that way" He replied coldly his face expressionless, Ho Seok found himself speechless, unable to fight back he only nodded his head and let Han Beom leave.

He fell on his knees and sighed, "you're the one who made me like this though, but too bad, I'm not planning to give up anytime soon" he pulled his hair back and mumbled thinking of ways to get Han Beom on his good side, but not matter how hard he tried to think of a way Aera would be there and stop him from getting closer to Han.

"I'll make it... I hope..."
