Sorry its been so long! Hope everyone enjoys!
Yona sat down on a warm black metal bench that was located in the middle of the park across from the school. The trio had decided that this was the perfect spot to sit and eat their curry buns. After leaving the class Soo-Won had suggested that they go to a small street vendor who sold, as he put it, "the best curry buns in town". Fortunately for them it was only a couple blocks from school. Both Yona and Zeno had found it odd that they had never heard or seen this vendor, but they decided it was best to trust him. When they arrived they where shocked to see a respectable sized line trailing off from a small blue and white street car.
Curry bun in hand Yona stretched her arm above her head, breathing in the warm morning air. There was a slight breeze that was making the tree leafs softly dance. The bright sun was fluttering down phasing in and out of her vision. It hadn't been long sense the school day had started but she was already pretty happy with the way the new school year was going. She had already made a new fried, or maybe two? She wasn't sure if she could consider the class president her friend, but she was going to make it happen. Even if him and Hak didn't get along. She let out her breath thinking about Hak. She was still curious as to what he was doing.
She lazily turned her head to look as Soo-won, who was talking to her blond classmate. His purple eyes lit up with a joke Zeno had made. She hadn't heard it but she couldn't help but smile when she saw him smile. Zeno plopped himself down next to her, biting into his spicy curry bun. He thoughtfully chewed his first bite, seeing if Soo-won's opinion lived up to its hype. His blue eyes softened a little as an agreeing grunt came out of his mouth.
"I have to give it to you," he said, mouth full of curry, "This is pretty amazing."
"Well you seemed excited about it so I thought I would show you my secret curry spot," he smiled, eyes crinkling.
"Well it was much appreciated," he thanked.
Yona was curious. She slowly took a small bite. Her eyes widned when she fully tasted it. The sweetness of the bun complimented the different spices baked into it.
"Do I get your approval as well," he asked looking at her.
"Hmmmm… I'd have to say that I'm impressed," she answered swallowing the bite that was still in her mouth.
"Good," he laughed cocking his head. "I was worried what you would think. Sense you're so picky."
She quickly stuck her tongue out in reply.
Laughing he pulled out his phone. She watched as his eyes darkened as he read what was on the small device.
"I apologize but I have to go," he quickly said picking up his backpack, finishing off his food.
"I'll see you after school then?"
Yona nodded her head confused as to what was going on. She waved good-bye as he jogged away from the both of them. Both of her friends had been acting strange today and it was really confusing the crap out of her. She finally decided that it was better if she didn't question it anymore today. She was confident that both Hak and Soo-won would explain things later.
Taking another bite she turned to Zeno. "I'm sorry to be rude but I haven't seen you around before. Did you just transfer to this school?"
He smiled at her. He was always smiling. She didn't know anyone who smiled so much. It wasn't forced either. It always seemed to be from the heart.
"I travel a lot. I'm never in the same place for too long," he said raising his head at a bug that zipped past the two.
"If you don't mind me asking, why do you move so much," she questioned crumpling her bun wrapper into a small ball. "Do you move because of your parents jobs?" She watched as he shifted his blue eyes downward.
"No. I don't live with my parents," he faltered, his smile fading.
She internally kicked herself. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring anything up. I was just curious," she fumbled. Shuffling her feet she watched as his signature smile was painted back on.
"No reason to worry. You didn't know. You know you have to talk to others to learn about them. Even if their past is good or bad. We all have a past. That's one thing we cant change about ourselves. You just have to move on and not let it bother you," he said softly rising from the bench and walking towards the school. She froze for a moment at the abrupt movement. Hurriedly grabbing her bag she ran to catch up to her friend after the shock had faded.
They walked back in silence. It wasn't an awkward silence. It was the type of silence between two close friends. She smiled looking ahead. Even though she had only met him not even two hours ago, she had a feeling that he would become important to her. Finally reaching the steps to the school she turned to him and laughed. He had another curry bun hanging out of his mouth and a map in his hands.
"Lost?" she joked.
"Of course I am. On top of this being my first time here it seems like the person who made this school liked mazes," he replied tilting his head all sorts of ways.
"How did you find your way to class this morning? I'm actually impressed that you made it there to be honest."
"Laugh all you want," he smiled, slowly walking up the steps. "The kid with the white hair. He's the class president right? He was way to excited to help me out. He kept talking and I got lost in the conversation, and before I knew it I was in class. Everything looks the same here too."
"Just follow me," she smiled leading the way.
About half way down the hall from class the bell started to ring, causing the two almost start running down the hall. Finally reaching the door Zeno slyly peeked his head in.
"His back is turned," he whispered, quietly walking into the class room and rushing to his seat. Yona quickly got to her seat, letting out a sigh of relief the moment her butt touched the chair. She thanked the gods that her desk was in the back.
Finished writing on the black board Ik-Su turned around and smiled at his two students.
"It wonderful that you two volunteered for after class pickup."
Both of them groaned silently under their breath. Sinking into her chair she heard Hak let out a sharp laugh.
"It's nice that you're offering to help them Hak," he said pulling out a text book.
"But," Hak tried to argue, but Ik-su had already started teaching the lesson.
Kija had a smirk on his face and he turned back toward the front of the classroom. Yona also smiled and let out a laugh. Hak kicked the back of her chair in response.
Kija coughed as Hak clapped the erasers a little to close to his face, causing the dust to linger around him.
"Could you do that by the window?" he snarled.
"But I am by the window," he replied starring blankly ahead.
Kija let out a frustrated sigh. "Near the open one?"
"O," Hak hesitated for a second. "No," he continued clapping.
"Hak," Yona sighed sweeping up the last of the garbage.
"Princess," he sighed back at her.
"Hey," she snapped at him, " I didn't ask for you to help us."
"I didn't either," he growled. "I just got stuck doing this."
"Maybe you shouldn't laugh at your classmates," Kija interrupted.
"No one was talking to you snake," Hak retorted still clapping the erasers.
She walked over to him and snatched the erasers from his hands.
"Be my guest," he said throwing up his hands. "Can we go now? Everything's done. All you have to do is sign us off.'
"You mean Yona and Zeno sense all you did was suffocate me?"
"Perfect!" Zeno whopped dropping the class papers on the desk that Kija was sitting at.
"Did you want to walk home with us?" she asked the blonde who had his hair up in a orange hair tie.
"Don't worry about me. I've got to go to work and its not to far from here."
"You don't want Hak's negativity rubbing off on you. Smart move," Kija coldly said shuffling the papers.
"Hey. I'm the perfect example of positivity."
Grabbing her bag Yona walked over to Hak and grabbed him by the collar. "Lying is unsightly Hak. We have to go anyway Soo-won said he would be waiting."
Waving good-bye to Zeno the pair walked down the hall.
"Actually he texted me and let me know that he had things he had to do. He apologizes."
"Why wouldn't he just text me," she questioned. Hak shrugged.
"He probably didn't want to disappoint you again."
"But I would have found out anyway," she retorted angrily.
"I don't know what goes through his head. Especially lately," Hak said trailing off.
Yona let out a tired sigh. "Whats going on Hak? You both have been acting strange lately and it's confusing me. You know you can tell me whatever it is. I mean I know its been awhile sense we have all really been together but we cant just stop talking."
Hak smiled down at the red haired beauty. "It's cute how concerned you are for us. I can't tell you anything right now. I need to figure more things out. Im not sure how long it will take but it wont be too long. As for Soo-won," his voice grew cold "He needs to tell you what's going on with him. You deserve that."
"Hak?"
"Lets not worry about it now though," he playfully pushed her.
She nodded her head. " I trust you."
"Good," he smiled.
As they approached her house red and blue lights flickered through the air by it.
"What's going on," she asked Hak panicked.
He furrowed his brow "Im not sure."
Reaching her front steps Yona saw her dad in handcuffs, being shoved toward a police car. He seemed dazed and confused. He was still in his work cloths. About three different officers stayed right by him as they reached the car.
"Dad!" Yona yelled while running towards him. "What's happing? Are you all right? Dad!" she kept yelling. As she got to the car an officer, who was incredibly bulky yet small, moved in front of her blocking her way.
"Yona," her dad croaked.
"Get out of my way," she cried at the officer.
"No can do. He's being taken in."
"For what reason?" Hak had appeared next to her slightly holding her back from any danger or aggression.
"You will have to come with me."
Hak scoffed at the officer. "This is ridiculous. Why can't you just tell us now?"
"You will have to come with me," he repeated once again.
"Hak. Maybe we should just go," she insisted.
"Fine."
"Perfect. We have a van over here," the officer said ushering the two into a large off white van.
