Jerry went outside then closed the door and put the chair behind it then sat.
It was a good and quiet day, the wind blowing through his hair, his playlist of songs in the right organized way for him to listen.
The mood was just good, maybe too good as he relaxed his shoulders, releasing a sigh, letting the rest of his stiff body relax."Man this feels good, letting down my guard, and just relaxing and feeling comfortable, and listening to all my songs I like in my playlist." He thought as he was feeling like his body was floating. "This is what I live for. It's moments like these that matter." He thought to himself as he smile a little.
*BLECH!*
The sound of a door slamming on the ground, as well as someone coughing like they were just drowning for a moment as well as the smell of smoke.
"Hooni?!?" Jerry said in a surprise loud tone.
Jerry opened his eyes and widened in surprise as he saw Hooni on his knees coughing aggressively as black smoke and cockroaches came out of his apartment room Jerry quickly moved to Hooni then picked him up to not have cockroaches climbing on him.
"What the hell is going on? Why is your room covered in black smoke?" He said in a worrying tone like a big brother freaking out that his little brother actually listened to his terrible advice.
"MMPH." The noise Hooni made as he puffed his cheeks, Jerry seeing him knew what was going to happen so he quickly moved him to the fence and let go of him. "BLECH…" Hooni puke over the fence.
Jerry, seeing this, tried not to vomit, but it didn't help due to him having a full stomach and the smell of smoke did not help him out.
A second later he also moved to the fence then puked over the fence too.
"F life. It's not worth living anymore." Jerry dramatically thought to himself like the world is ending.
~Time-skip to the next day.~
Jerry and Hooni run to school and luckily make it on time, they walk in class that they are together, they take their seat and not even 4 minutes a random student is already picking on Hooni.
Hooni, clearly uncomfortable not wanting to be bothered but is too much of a coward to do anything.
"Shut the fuck up. Jaehoon is trying to study." A student with short hair smirks and chuckles, having fun treating Hooni awfully.
"S-Sorry…" Hooni apologized to him.
Jerry, seeing this the whole time let out a sigh, seeing Hooni is not going to do or say anything to him so he got up and walked to them.
"Hey Buzz cut. Cut it out alright?" He said calmly not trying to start a fight with him. As the Buzz cut student felt a little annoyed.
"The fu-" The Buzz cut student was about to talk back to him until his friends called him to go out for a smoke he left with them wanting to smoke too.
"Thanks." Hooni said softly.
"No worries bro. We're friends, remember?" He lifts his hand up and grips it into a fist, as Hooni is nervous at first but then quickly getting the gesture, he fist bumps him.
Jaehoon and the rest of the class watch in shock.
"So the rumors are real. He and that guy with the scar are friends." He thought to himself, Jaehoon didn't care much about the rumors about them but it was still interesting to find out.
"Still. They're a Bunch of losers I despise them with all my will, even this guy. He is the kind of stupid that can't even resist when he's bullied, so he needs help from him." Jaehoon thought to himself as he side eye stared at Hooni in disappointment
"At least he knows how to stand up for himself. Probably why he isn't a punching bag like he is." Jaehoon thought to himself. As he stared at Jerry. "Still he simply just does. He doesn't bully anyone, he doesn't show interest at anything or anyone or really pay attention in class, does he even study?" He thought to himself again as Jerry went back to his seat and right after that the teacher came in.
As the teacher continues Jerry's zone out and Hooni is thinking about how he is going to survive the next day due to almost having no money, maybe he should use craigslist after all he desperately needs money, what can go wrong?
Hooni looked for a pencil but couldn't find any, he looked for a little more to see if he was sure, he then looked at Jaehoon.
"Um... Jaehoon? Will you lend me a penc-" Hooni was cut off when Jaehoon made a TSK noise, Hooni understanding right away.
"O-Oh Nothing." He said nervously as he looked down.
Hooni was about to go to the restroom but then he starts to think about Jerry, that maybe he could lend him a pencil, but at the same time he was worried that he might annoy him but then again they were friends so surely Jerry wouldn't mind. Right?
Hooni stuck with two choices about going to the restroom or asking Jerry for a pencil, Hooni was nervous as hell, not understanding why was it so hard to ask him for a pencil.
Hooni mind racing about what if, like one of them like, what happens if he annoys him or stops being friends with him, he doesn't want something like that happening, after all Jerry is his first friend since... Since him... And the last thing he wants is Jerry to hate him.
Meanwhile as Hooni is having a war on himself thinking what choices he'll make Jerry was zoned out the whole time thinking about what's better, powder donut or glaze donuts.
"It's the powder donut." Jerry thought to himself as he craved for a donut for thinking about it. "Still I don't understand why some people like sprinkles donuts?Like cheese just say you're insane so they can lock you up." Jerry thought not understanding why a donut with sprinkles is like by other people, he ate one and he just wasn't a fan of it.
He doesn't hate it but he wouldn't eat another one that's for sure.
Jerry then felt his left shoulder being tapped on by someone, he looked and saw Hooni sweating bullets as he looked like he was carrying tons of pounds on him.
"I-I was wondering if you could lend ... Me a pencil?" Hooni nervously says to him as he tries not to stutter.
Jerry's eyes are a little bit wide open as he nod and instantly just gave him a pencil, Hooni looking relief like somebody just took off a lot of weights off of him.
"T-Thanks." He thanked him and went back to his seat.
Jerry meanwhile was still a little surprised by what he saw. "Jesus Christ. he looked like he was really going to pass out just asking me for a pencil? The hell he has been through for him to be like this." He thought to himself as he was feeling worried for Hooni.
Jerry can tell besides the bullying that everyone in school knows, he can tell he has other issues, and he looks like he needs help the only problem is how can he help?
After all he has his own problems too.
