C.h.1-
Jumin Han propped his elbow on top his desk in order to rest his chin against his palm, his fingers curled blunt nails digging into his cheek. His eyes had long abandoned his teacher who was busy delving into the lesson they were currently learning. His cold fossil gray eyes gazed out the window. It was a clear sunny day with clouds like brush strokes streaking across a baby blue canvas.
"Jumin, can you read the next verse?"
Tearing his gaze from the window to his teacher whose stare addressed him, he nodded and took hold of his bible. Pushing back his seat he rose to his feet and cleared his throat.
"It reads: And for your lifeblood, I will require a reckoning: from every beast I will require it and from man. From his fellow man, I will require a reckoning for the life of man. "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image."
He looked up watching his teacher nod,"Very good Jumin."
He sat back down once again resuming his prior pose but this time it took the young student a second to realize that something was happening before his eyes.
Almost in slow motion, he watched a thin black notebook fall from the sky. His eyes darted around trying to find its origin but it appeared that the book just dropped out of nowhere. He watched as it hit the grass in the courtyard beside a wooden bench. For a moment he stared at the book. It didn't move nor did it cause supernatural damage around it. It was a simple book that happened to fall directly from the sky.
How peculiar…
The ringing of the school bell disrupted his thoughts and he picked his head up watching as his fellow classmates filed out of the classroom. He closed his bible slipping it into his bag dragging the zipper from one end to the other closing it. He got up picking his bag putting on both shoulder straps.
"Hey, Jumin." Looking to his left he watched as his pastel blue haired friend, Jihyun Kim, make his way toward him wearing his usual small smile.
"Hey."Jumin responded, "Today's lesson was quite morbid."
That was a lie, he didn't think it was the least bit morbid at all. Jihyun nodded as they exited the classroom together,"Yeah it was, especially the verse you read."
Jumin simply hummed as they made their way outside. School had ended, his religion class being his last period. But his mind hadn't wandered far from the book. And now that he was fully thinking about it, ahead of him there it laid unnoticed and untouched.
"I see Jaehee coming."Jihyun suddenly pointed out, "Do you have a Student Council meeting today ?"
Jumin shook his head ignoring Jihyun's chuckles.
"Possibly." he replied,"We'll talk later."
Jihyun nodded and he watched his blue haired friend walk off greeting jaehee as he passed her. The short haired brunette approached him carrying a few of her class notebooks in her arm.
"Jumin, I came to ask you if you were aware that we have a meeting after school."jaehee's monotonous voice said
"I was aware."He lied smoothly,"Let's not keep everyone waiting."
"Of course." She replied turning on her heel and walking back into the building
Strolling behind, jumin looked over his shoulder once again gazing at the slim black book. He didn't know how it happened to fall from the sky or if he was just imagining things, whichever it was, he would not rest until he figured it out.
