"Yeah, Chan you should stay and hang out maybe you can make use of the tutoring." Seungmin smiled as he stepped aside to let us in.

I let go of Chan and turn my attention to the house I walked into, something told me that I should keep him close.

Even if it strangely made me feel like I knew him my whole life, I felt that he was important. I think I would have to learn to open up to him like I did with Hyunjin.

  • • •

"That's the end of the problems, you all did great, you'll be ready for the test on Friday." Seungmin said as we all begin to pack up.

"Thank you." I smiled at Seungmin and stand up.

"You're a genius, you should be a teacher or something." Chan chuckled as he did a handshake with Seungmin.

Jeongin left earlier than us because his mom called him sadly, I wish he would've stayed longer.

"I'll call Hyunjin and tell him—"

"Can you walk me home instead?" I interrupted Chan as I looked at him in awe.

"I mean— Sure," Chan was caught off guard as we began to walk. "It's a far walk though."

"I don't mind," I replied with a content look. "I enjoy long walks."

A few minutes go by as we walked, it was a comfortable silence though.

"Why are you so nice?" I questioned as I looked at him.

"Huh?" Chan looked at me with furrowed eyebrows.

"You're nice to everyone regardless what they say or think of you, why?" I repeated.

"I think that the world already has negative people, why add to it? If I'm not genuine or nice then I would be a horrible friend." Chan replied as he looked down and dug his hands into his jean pockets. "You might never know what someone is going through so its important for me to be nice regardless how people treat me."

Ah. He seemed genuine.

He better stay true to his word.

Another gap of silence passed before I turned to just stare at him. He was pretty. I think his eyes were the prettiest ones I've ever seen.

What am I saying? Ugh, why do I feel so amazed by the details on his face?

Why do I feel like I've known him my whole life even if I knew nothing about him? There was a hook that didn't let me go and it's beginning to scare me.

"Why are you staring at me?" Chan looked at me to which I quickly look away in shock.

"Um." I say before feeling my cheeks heat up.

I felt embarrassed, why did I stare at him for too long? I'm such a dumbass.

"I guess I was just lost in thought, I was zoned out." I replied.

"You're beginning to scare me." Chan chuckled.

"Scare you?" I scoffed as I stopped walking and looked at him. "What have I done to possibly scare you?"

There it was again, that rise in anger that awakened. I normally wouldn't get this shaken up on a simple comment, I'd just ignore it and not reply but now? I was annoyed.

"What if you're plotting ways to kill me?" Chan shrugged.

"Hey!" I caught up to him and narrowed my eyes at him. "If I was a killer don't you think you'd be dead by now?"

"Then I guess you suck at your job." Chan snickered which earned him a punch from me, he laughed louder at the action.

Does this dude not feel any pain?

Is he crazy?

"Stop!" I growled as I walked faster.

"I got you to talk more, I feel so accomplished." Chan smirked.

"Chan, this will be the last time you treat me like this okay?" I spat before shaking my head and walking up my porch.

"Whatever, you say Lani." He smiled as he walked away.

"Lani? You're in no position to use my nickname, you're nothing but a friend!" I protested at the name.

"Friend? Hmm... I like that, at least I moved up from base one... Lani." Chan giggled before getting to his house as I got into mine.

Ugh! He was annoying! How could he be so kind and then tease me the next chance he gets?

"Why were you hanging out with Chan?" A voice interrupted my thoughts as I opened my bedroom door.

"Jesus! Hyunjin you scared me! What the hell are you still doing here?" I jumped as I quickly closed the door.

Hyunjin was laid onto my bed with his phone in his hand, he paid full attention to me as I came and sat down on the bed.

"Well, I didn't think that study session with Seungmin would take so long... You didn't answer my question though, did you finally make a new friend?" Hyunjin wiggles his eyebrows at me which made me even more annoyed.

"Shut up, leave me alone I don't want to talk about it." I groaned before pushing him to the side and got under the covers.

"Someone's on their period," Hyunjin shot me a disgusted look before turning away. "I'm sleeping here since my mom and dad are fighting again, you won't mind right?"

"Not at all, how are you doing?" I asked as I turned to face him when he gets under the covers as well.

"Okay.. I just feel so over their arguments, like at this point I wish they would just divorce." He replied with a shrug. "It doesn't really affect me but it's just so repetitive."

"I'm sorry you still have to deal with that." I sighed as I leaned on his shoulder. "I love you."

"Love you too, Ulani." Hyunjin pats my hand softly. "Now let's go to sleep before your mom wakes up to us talking."

"Night." I nodded as I laid my head on my pillow.

I was honest afraid to fall asleep, I've been getting these weird dreams and visions for some reason. It wasn't pleasant at all, it was so scary and I could feel the physical pain in my heart. I just wish I knew why I was dreaming of it. What was the point!

I just knew it all started because of Chan.

Something about him is off.
