The bell had just rang, promising Sunghwa an hour break. He packed his things, greeted his professor with a small smile and a shy "goodbye" and then left the room. He put on his headphones and crossed the halls before going out. There was a tree near the school which was a perfect place to rest for an hour.

He went through the gate and stopped a few steps from the tree. Who had dared to squat in his corner ?

Leaning against the tree, a young boy, apparently younger than him, had headphones screwed to his ears, the music could be heard three meters away. Sunghwa approached and snapped his fingers in front of his face. No reaction.

He sighed and then patted his shoulder gently, which managed to make the intruder's eyes open. He removed his headphones and stood up before bowing respectfully.

"Hello... Is there a problem...? Asked the youngster with a small voice.
- Actually, this is my corner here, there is no one usually. Sunghwa explained calmly.
- Oh. I'll go then. Said young Dabin taking his bag.
- Hey, how old are you? Shouldn't you be in school ? Curiously asked the hyung.
- I'm thirteen and... Yeah normally... He admitted, lowering his head.
- Aish. Sit down. Sunghwa ordered gently, sitting down himself."

He didn't know why but he wanted to help the young teenager, he felt he needed to speak. Dabin hesitated, then ended up sitting next to him.

"Why did you skip school ?
- I... It is useless... I'm just falling asleep and being yelled at... That's not how I'm going to learn, locked in a room... Said Dabin with a little pout.
- You still have five years and then you can get out if you want. But spending your days outside doing nothing is a bad idea. Retorted Sunghwa.
- Why ? Asked the dongsaeng, turning to him.
- Because there are a lot of bad people, who spend their day hanging out outside and who will take you with them if you don't mind. And your future is not likely to be better with them. Warns the hyung kindly.
- I'm not going to be a dealer either... Rolled Dabin's eyes with a small smile.
- You never know. Listen to me and go to class. Then you'll do what you want. Says Sunghwa.
- Alright alright.
- Then go.
- Now ? Whined Dabin, scowling.
- Yes now. Sunghwa confirmed by pushing him gently.
- But I wanna stay with hyung. Pouted the youngest as a beaten dog.
- It doesn't work on me. Get the hell out of here ! Laughs the oldest while pushing him."

Dabin finally gave in and got up, before greeting him with a small smile. He listened to his hyung and returned to class, ending stopping to skip class.

Sunghwa then closed his eyes, hoping that this boy would listen to his advice, before returning to look after his own future.
