Chunhee wore this body's usual school fashion that complimented his pure and innocent appearance. He had jade white skin, innocent peach blossom eyes, a bit dark circles that resembled a cute baby panda and healthy red thin lips. This body actually lived a good, healthy, and comfortable life since infancy, if only he didn't meet Yujin, he would surely have a good future too. Chunhee sighed, pushed the negativity away, and stood and smiled in front of the mirror.
"Let's get you a happy ending, alright?" He told himself, deeply feeling his emotions accumulated from the past lives.
He already experienced being a rich kid from the past so there weren't too much adjustments needed in this life. Chunhee glanced through the car window, suddenly thinking of that life. It almost felt the same, both characters came from wealthy families and were close friends, but during that time, same-sex relationships weren't accepted. All the people around Yujin and Chunhee were opposing their relationship. Even their close friendship was later on ridiculed and considered shameful.
Thinking about the bitter past, Chunhee couldn't help but let out a sad smile. Although this present life didn't condemn same-sex relationships and people accepted them with a warm heart, Yujin and Chunhee were still destined to break apart. They were still bound to have a tragic end.
How funny was that, Chunhee thought bitterly.
Arriving at the school, Chunhee was mentally prepared to greet his 'friends', the mutual circle he and Yujin shared.
They were Kim Youngjae, Kang Daehyun and, Bae Jinho. These sons of big corporations were all close friends of Chunhee and Yujin since childhood. In his memories, all of them shared a harmonious relationship with one another.
"Chunhee-ah!" Kang Daehyun greeted him first with a bright smile. His chestnut-colored hair smoothly bouncing as he met Chunhee and pulled him to the path towards a greenhouse.
"I texted the others, I think they're already in the greenhouse," Daehyun announced.
According to this body's memory, Daehyun was the friendliest among them. He was a grandson of the owner of FALCON, a famous Asian International Airport. He was also the closest friend of Chunhee whom Chunhee shared his secrets to. Thinking of this, Chunhee's heart became suspicious. Was he perhaps the person who would have an affair with Yujin in the future?
"Chunhee, Daehyun, come check this out!" Bae Jinho shouted from the entrance of the greenhouse. This greenhouse was actually exclusively open only for the top five richest students in the campus.
Among the students in the academy, Kang Daehyun, Kim Youngjae, Bae Jinho, Park Yujin, and Han Chunhee were considered the most-privileged being the sons of famous and richest personalities thus, they were the only ones who had this golden access to the academy's greenhouse.
In front of Jinho was a glass rectangular-shaped aquarium, a turtle-like creature inside. Jinho was grinning, his handsome boyish charm radiating, "This little guy really loves swimming eh. Come see for yourselves!"
Jinho was also a close friend and would be considered as the best friend of Yujin. He was a son of a famous gold medalist football player and a grandson of the owner of EMBER, a popular Fashion Clothing Brand in Asia. He had a special and deep bond with Yujin. If Chunhee wasn't mistaken, Yujin shared his secrets with Jinho only. Chunhee glanced at Jinho, thinking the possibility of him and Yujin together.
"Whoa, it's really cute. How were you able to get him in?" Daehyun asked with amused, sparkling eyes.
"Jae helped me of course. With him, I can easily get anything in and out of the campus. Hahaha! Right, Jae?" Jinho grinned and glanced over the man lying on a couch on a corner.
Kim Youngjae, the grandson of YN Academy's Chairman and son of an international film director and producer. His mother was also a well-known musician and actress. Among the five, he was the most silent and mature, only speaking when he desired to.
Chunhee walked over and glanced at his sleeping face, worriedly thinking even this mature man could be a possibility too since as they say, silent people often held the darkest secrets. Could it be, he really was the person who would have an affair with Yujin?
Just then, the eyes that were solemnly closed suddenly opened. Youngjae stared at Chunhee with a serious gaze. Chunhee's cheeks flushed at the sudden stare. Not being able to think of an excuse, he took steps back and hurriedly went to see Daehyun and Jinho.
Feeling somewhat stupid, Chunhee shook away the suspicions in his heart. These people were his friends from childhood. No matter what the future beholds, the current people here wouldn't hurt him easily like that. Besides, the 6th Chunhee still had other friends aside from these three, so he must not conclude anything without having enough evidence. For now, he should only observe silently and gather some proof if he spotted them. Later, he would arrange them and name that person. Whoever it was, Chunhee... Chunhee needed to face it. No matter how much it hurt.
"What's its name?" He asked his friends who were too engrossed in watching the small turtle swim using its small feet.
"Tori," Jinho said and gave a small food to the turtle. "It has a partner but it fell ill and needed to stay at the vet for a while. Tori is too lonely so I decided to take him here. Hehe, isn't he lovely?"
This Jinho really had a heart for animals. Chunhee smiled and watched the turtle playing in the water. He was about to say something when his heart suddenly made a loud pound, stopping his breathing.
"Yujin! You're here," Daehyun greeted happily as he turned around.
One step. Two steps.
"Don't bring unnecessary things inside the greenhouse," someone responded, his voice full of coldness mixed with distaste and boredom.
Three steps.
It felt as though every step the person made, Chunhee's heartbeat falter and went into a frenzy, as if he was on a forest and he was listening and waiting in agony for the beast to appear from the shadows.
Chunhee's heart twisted, his breath hitched, and his face turned pale. Feeling the coldness radiating his entire body, slowly, Chunhee turned around.
Yujin.
