Another day, on a boring day on February 14, people falling in love, people holding hands, people confessing to each other, people going on dates.
"Damn. Don't tell me I'm feeling envy of them." Jerry grouches quietly as he does pull up in a public park, wearing sweat pants with white stripes on both sides, black tank shirts, and black shoes.
For a few minutes it felt like an eternity in hell seeing people holding hands, kissing each other, the last straw was when he was running in the park and seeing a man asking her girlfriend to marry him, he then snapped leaves the park, walking back home in a grumpy mood, But before he left he decided to be petty, and go to people and ask them, to switch phones since they love and trust each other.
And yeah it did not go well. These hoes ain't loyal.
"If I can't be happy, no one can." Jerry mumbled to himself being dramatic. But on this day, the park was going to be known as the heartbroken land. And somewhere, in a different dimension, a man with blue eyes, white hair and blindfolded for some reason, as well a man if you can call it that, with tattoos on his face, with 4 arms, as they were fighting each other, they randomly just felt proud not on themselves but for someone else, back to Jerry.
"Oh look at us we're in love. Eat glass and die." Jerry mumbled in envy and a little bit of jealousy as he walked away from the park, not knowing he made so many couples break up.
After a few minutes of walking to his apartment he then sees Hooni just got out of his apartment room. "Yo. Dap me up my boy just like we practiced yesterday." Jerry said a little calm yet excited in his tone. They slam their hands together, making a nice impact, that almost sounds like a gunshot.
"Nice. If We keep this up, maybe we can apply for the dap up tournament." Jerry said in excitement, as Hooni is crying inside, because his hand is hurting.
"Y-yeah, I guess." Hooni said softly as he held his hand in pain.
"Great, can't wait. I just hope that weird green creature and that boy doesn't show up. Hopefully we don't turn into dust. Literally." Jerry spoke, a little concern in his tone, as Hoon hearing this is already, praying to God in his mind.
"I heard of him. His name is Piccolo right? If we ever go up against them, will we win?" Hoon said nervously, he remembered he only watched one match of them and they were indeed powerhouses.
"Win? Hell no, we're dead. Our bodies will be wiped out from existence, I'm talking about, in a split second we're already going to be in heaven, or hell? For God's sake, they once blow up a planet I think." Jerry said in a nonchalant way, like dying or blowing up a planet wasn't a big deal to begin with.
"W-what? They're that strong? They're daps can kill us." Hooni said nervously, and already wanted to run to his apartment.
"Only if we die." Jerry said calmly but also trying to be motivated. It failed since Hooni is looking at Jerry in fear already believing his time is up, at least he'll die with his friend and not alone.
"I'm joking with you, calm down... Probably." Jerry spoke, trying to calm him down, Hooni relaxed not because Jerry calmed him down but because Hooni just gave up, if he dies with Jerry then so be it.
Jerry and Hooni hang out in Jerry's apartment room, as they talk for a bit, then play video games together like plants vs zombies garden warfare, or taking turns in playing 5 nights at Freddy's, then a random two player games in which lend them to talk a lot of snap to each other, in which the landlady scold them about the loud complain, they then eat food, and after eating together, Hoon said his goodnight and went to his apartment to sleep, meanwhile Soorim laying down on his bed about to sleep, he couldn't help but feel left out.
He was.
~Time-skip to the next day.~
The weekend has ended and today is Monday people working, kids are grumpy that they need to go to school, just like Hooni was getting ready for school, Hooni wasn't happy about it tho, if anything he wishes the time will go faster not because he's hates school in general but because all the bad memory of him being bully, to just straight up being assault by them, in a way he's have PTSD he can't help but flinch on every corner thinking he's going to be attacked.
So as Hooni gets ready to go to school, meanwhile Jerry is cussing to himself, as he drops his kitchen knife that he just sharpened, he accidentally dropped it, the knife slipping off his hand, as it fell at the point of the end of the kitchen knife landing on his feet, making a small yet a little deep stab wound a lot of blood coming out, it's not life threatening but it did hurt as hell, as he dramatically walks to the restroom he clean the blood off but more just comes out so takes off his shirt press pressure on it, as he doing that, he reach his other hand to get his phone in his pocket.
"Hey won't make it to school, I'm going to be late, go on without me." Jerry texted Hooni he then put his phone away and started to treat his wound, Hooni hearing his notification sound check his phone and see his texts.
"R.I.P. you will be miss." Hooni texted back being dramatic as he puts on his backpack on and walk out of his apartment, he lock it and walk pass Jerry door room, a few moments later Soorim saw him, in which they talk to each other, well Hooni mostly just listen to him speak as they walk, they then split up going to their own school saying they're good bye for now.
Hooni was walking all fine as usual until he took a step in on the property school and for some reason his instinct starts to kick in telling him to run away from school, he ignores it believing in denial that he's just being lazy and he just being a coward, 4 steps in school now his hair on his arms rise up, 10 more steps and he's feeling cold the despite being a warm day, a few more steps, he is now walking inside, his body begin to shiver, he quickly speed walk to the restroom when he feels his stomach growling he pukes in the toilet, his eyes widen, his body shivering as he is now imaging Hyung-Chul and the rest that bully him, it had been almost 6 days since they last saw him sure he see the others most of the time, but they don't do anything to him... Much and mostly is because of Jerry Hooni and half of the school are fully aware of the fight that happened between them at first Hooni was going to use Jerry as a shield to hide behind the bullies but as times went by, he couldn't help but feel more attached to him, so much he accidentally confused him as a brother more than a friend at times.
After Hooni was done puking, he flush the toilet and walk out, his body feeling a little lighter now, but his instinct, and his mind, not so intense now but still telling him to just skip school, of course he chose to ignore it as he continues on as he walks in the cafeteria to eat breakfast, he froze in shook then in fear when he slowly turn his face when someone call his name out loud, his voice similar, it was no other then Hyung-Chul, the one with a orange hair who mostly bully him the most.
"I see your boyfriend isn't here. No matter, come over here you little Sh×× and eat this." He said in a mocking way but behind it Hooni can tell he's pissed off what gave it away was how he looked at him, his eyes full of anger and hate, as two of Hyung-Chul's friends dragged him to their desk as Hyung-Chul held a spoon.
"Take some fried rice, put some kimchi on top, then some chocolate, a sprinkle of juice and finally a spoonful of miso soup, done. Now eat it." Hyung-Chul spoke in a demanding tone, clearly not asking a question. "Oh wait, just one more thing. KHHHAAAKKKH, Spit." He said then he spit on it adding more salt on the wound, Hooni hesitates for a second but knowing they're going to jump him if they don't at least not for today, he opens his mouth slowly trying not to tear up, Hyung-Chul not waiting for Hooni to fully open his mouth he forces it into his mouth, then pull out the spoon as Hooni hold his mouth, as he failed to hold back his tears he quickly ran away to the restroom as the others laugh together and at Hooni, as Hooni cry to himself after done puking, he softly crys to himself.
He flesh the toilet and just sits on the toilet and grips his arms tightly with his nails digging into his skin cutting the surface of his skin, as blood comes out slowly. "I want to die, I want to die, I want to die, I want to die." He repeat himself in his own minds as he holds back form screaming, as the bell rings meaning class had started, he continues to sit still, trying not to have a mental breakdown, then a notification ring on his phone, he then stopped and just look at his pocket, he then slowly take his phone out of his pocket and open his messages and see Jerry texts.
"F you, I'm not dying. Anyways I'm already coming, tho I'm going to be a little more late, some homeless guy is challenging me in a dance off. See you soon bubby." Jerry texted back as he put his open away, and they danced, as people gather around slowly enjoying the show, then a few seconds later some people drop some cash on the homeless men hat, some cheering for the homeless man and some cheering for Jerry, some people were recording it live as a music name: L'Art Du Savoir - by VDYCD plays in the speaker.
Meanwhile while Hooni reading his texts giggle to himself imagining Jerry having a dance battle against a homeless guy, as Hooni is now calming down. "Alright, hope you win. See you soon bro." He replies back then he puts his phone away, he then cleans the blood off and bandages his arms, warping it around, he walks out of the restroom and walks to his class he gets a bit of scolding by the teacher for bit then sit on his seat after class they then were switched science with PE today.
"F×××." Hooni said in defeat knowing physical is not his thing. Actually nothing is, his things he sucks at almost everything so as the students walk to PE and Hooni grab his PE uniform and change in the restroom then came out, Jerry then jumped scared Hooni making him scream a little, in which made Jerry laugh a little, as he slam his hand on the wall trying not to laugh himself to death.
"Damn. Sorry I couldn't help myself... Hey what's up with the bandages warp around your arms? You're okay?" Jerry said a little concern in his tone ready to beat anyone ass if he needs to. "No, no. I'm fine I fall and scrape off some of my skin when I land on a hard concrete floor." Hooni responded back quickly trying to cover it with a lie, Jerry just looked at him for a moment then just nod as they walked outside with the other students.
Hooni instinctively walks behind Jerry as Hyung-Chul passes by Jerry, they lock eyes, daring to try something. "How is your puss boyfriend?" Hyung-Chul said insulting Jerry and Hooni. "He's fine. How is your jaw? You need another hand?" Jerry replied back casually not caring about the insult, Hyung-Chul instinctively rubs his jaw softly. "Lucky punch." Hyung-Chul mumbled as he walked a bit faster putting distance between them.
A little moment later the students are doing 25 jumping jacks.
"T-tired. I c-can't make it." Hooni mumbled to himself as he sweats bullets, not literally.
"Alright last one without the chant, one, two, three." The coach yells at the students in which Hooni yells twenty-five. "Damn. We weren't supposed to chant on the last one, Hooni." Jerry leans sideways a little close to his ear and mumbles to Hooni next to him, Hooni watches in fear and embarrassment, they did another 25 jumping jacks one last time.
Jerry and Hooni sit aside, Hooni sitting down thinking bad about himself and Jerry just being lazy napping while the PE Teacher, Jung Cha-Ryuk watch them from a distance. "These kids just don't seem to mingle with the other kids at all, but they do seem as friends tho. Still at their age they should be running around out there together and having fun. Then again as long as these two are having fun in their own way, then I overlook it." Jung Cha-Ryuk mumbled to himself as he continued to watch the other kids then joined in to play soccer with them.
As school finally ended for the day, Jerry and Hooni walk home, then meet up with Soorim, and of course, Soorim blabbed almost non-stop as Hooni just mostly listens and Jerry talks a little with Soorim as they walk, and talk along the way to they're apartment, heading to they're apartment room to hang out.
Meanwhile from a distance another kid around their age watches them, mostly at Jerry for a while, he then looks and walks away.
