Finals.
Ji ho walked the halls of shinwha academy with a smile.
His final exam is officially over. No more late night studying and he could spend his time playing the music now. Smiling, he walked over to the library to hand in the books that he borrowed for the exam week, noticing some students still busy making last minute study.
"hi, I would like to hand these back please." He said politely to the middle aged lady behind the library counter who knew him very well.
"is your exam over, ji ho?" she asked with a smile.
"yes. I had my last paper 10minutes ago." He smiled, before excuse himself as fished out his phone to answer an incoming call outside the library.
He grinned when he saw Yi jung's number and picked it up "done with your maths?" he asked, not bothering with a hello.
Even over the phone, Ji ho could hear Yi jung smiled as he spoke. "Yeah, Jun pyo and I totally aced it." He said with a chuckle. "Wanna go out and celebrate?"
"Yeah, sure. We'll meet up at the lounge yeah?"
"Cool, but hey Ji ho." He paused. "Have you seen or heard anything from Woo bin? I can't reach him."
"Woo bin?" the soft spoken boy asked. "I thought he's with you two?"
"He was, but we didn't see him after the test."
"I'll call him." Ji ho decided and Yi jung agreed. They hang up and Ji ho stopped to think. Woo bin, Jun pyo, and Yi jung are suppose to be in the same class. Except for Ji ho who took extra three subjects have to take the test at different times. It's unusual for Woo bin to miss out a after finals celebrations. After all, he is the one who always make a party more alive.
Dialing for his best friend's number, searched the school grounds. After 8 calls, Woo bin finally picks up. "What." He said flatly, sounding slightly pissed off.
"Where are you, woo bin? We're going out to celebrate" ji ho inquired as he sat down on a wooden bench in the yard.
"You guys go ahead. I'm busy." He said quickly and quietly, almost like a whisper before hang up.
Frowning, Ji ho stared at his phone screen. 'Did he just hang up on me?' He questioned feeling slightly pissed too. Its unusual for woo bin. Woo bin rarely use that tone when he talks to the f4. Ji ho recalls the 5second call and analysis it over. Woo bin was almost whispering even though his background was eerily quiet. Barely 10 seconds later, Ji hoo figured it out.
He's in the library!
Running, Ji ho quickly went back to the library and searched for his brother. Sure enough, Ji ho found Woo bin sprawling on the floor at the very back of the old library.
Hands in his hair, eyebrows frowned and his eyes never left the book on his lap, reading ever so hard.
"I thought we're done with exams." He said quietly, making woo bin jumped, almost threw off the book in response.
"What the hell are you doing here?" he bellowed, forgetting that they are in the library.
"I was looking for you." Ji ho said calmly before pulled out his phone and typed in three shot sentence.
Don't wait for us. Cant make it. Sorry.
After pressing send to Yi jung's number, he shove back his phone into his pocket and lowered himself beside woo bin. "What are you studying?"
Not looking away from the book he was reading, Woo bin answered "history."
Eyebrow raised, he asked "you skipped history paper yesterday?"
Sighing woo bin looked up and meet ji ho's eyes. "I didn't take the test with the guys. I had another paper."
"but you were in the same room with them?" ji ho asked.
Sighing, Woo bin snapped "for a genius, you are sort of shallow." He said before sighing again "you can take different papers in the hall, ji hoo." He said harshly but ji ho shook it off. "What paper?" the young orphan asked again.
"nothing. Forget about it okay."
Ji ho looked at him hard and reached out for the book on woo bin's lap. Holding it in his hands, Ji hoo asked again "what paper?"
Groaning, Woo bin snatch the book from Ji hoo's hand "what the hell, ji ho. I have an exam in one hour and you are here bothering me. Go away." He huffed, clearly pissed.
Lady came and shhh-ed them before walked away after a quick apology from Ji ho.
"What did you do, woo bin?" Ji hoo asked softly, fearing that his brother might have done something illegal or something.
"God damn it, nothing!" Woo bin cried. "Did you honestly think I cheated and had to retest or something? Damn it ji hoo," he said, clearly didn't noticed how Ji hoo slightly winced when the young mafia in training inserted swear words next to his name "I had advance physics okay. now shut up or go away. I have to cover 2more chapter."
Ji ho fell silent. All this time, he thought he was the one who had extra classes. His friends never seem the type to study beyond what they needed.
"Don't look so shocked, ji hoo." Woo bin looked up. His voice were slightly softer but tint of annoyance is still present and ji ho turned to look at him. "yi jung was in advance music class too. And I took social studies."
That's it. Ji hoo dropped his jaw as he stared at the brother he thought he knew. "I knew Yi jung is in my advance music class but you took social studies? What next, you're in my advance chem?"
Still not looking up from his book, woo bin nodded. "Actually, yeah. I am."
Eyes went wide as Ji hoo gasped "what?!"
Sighing, woo bin grab a nearby highlighter and highlighted some sentences in his history book. "you were too busy sleeping in that class, of course you never notice me. I couldn't blame you though. The lecture was damn boring" he said in a matter of fact voice
"I can't believe you're in my class. Why didn't you say anything?" ji ho questioned but Woo bin sighed.
"Listen, jihoo." He said, putting down his book and stared at Ji hoo "can we do this conversation later? I have only two hours and I really really need to cover these two chapters" he said, sounding almost like begging to the latter. "I've had four papers today and I'm tired so can you please let me be?" Woo bin continued but he didn't wait for an answer before picked up his book and start reading it again.
Ji hoo studied his bro for a while and looked at the worry look on his face. His face crumpled together and cold sweat appeared on his forehead. His eyes kept reading the page line over and over again, groaning occasionally. Finally, Ji hoo stood up and left Woo bin alone.
And came back with two cups of coffee.
Shaking his head lightly, Ji hoo extended his right hand "have these. You'll be fresh in no time." He said as he hand the cup.
Woo bin looked up to ji hoo and finally flash the boy a smile, showing gratitude at his brother "Thanks ji." He said, using ji hoo 's nickname.
Smiling fondly, Ji hoo again took a seat next to the worried looking boy and grab his book. This time, instead of fighting, woo bin looked at him and raise an eyebrow.
Ji hoo cleared his throat and said "I may have not know that you took 2 extra classes WITH me but I do know that you are not a last minute person." He added. " I can bet my head that you have already learned these chapters three weeks ago. You're just not confident and I can't blame you. History is never your best subject. "He smirked and Woo bin chuckled.
"So instead of wasting your time reading that same page all over again," he grinned, throwing Woo bin a playful dirty look "why don't we do what we always do.." he paused and exchanged knowing looks with Woo bin.
"lets play a quiz" they both said it simultaneously before breaking into a small laughter.
Woo bin grinned and light up instantly as he positioned himself so that they are sitting across each other. Handing Ji hoo his book –who confidently snap it shut – and they started the quiz, occasionally laughing and earned his head getting smacked by Ji hoo when he got an answer wrong.
But two hours later, after a quick thanks and agreement that they will meet at the lounge after he's done with the paper, Woo bin ran out from the library smiling.
AN : I PASSED MY DRIVING EXAM! Well, I passed the first stage. Haven't got an official licence yet though. Hoho. I'm sorry I didn't post any new chapters these few days. I was busy with family and exam. Huu~ anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this one. And yes, ji hoo isn't the only genius in f4. WOO BIN IS TOO! I mean, he's supposed to be managing TWO company right? The contracting company hence the advance physics and chemistry and another company would be the underground mafia company hence the need to have social studies~ what do you think about this one? Hehe, please tell me. And oh, I am truly sorry for any grammar and spelling mistakes. Anyway, take care! And review please? :)
