@min yoongi Walking into the music room, Donghyuk surveyed the class to see if there were any empty seats before noticing one in the back corner. With a grin, he walked over to the seat, taking a seat next to another male; he had never see the student before but shrugged, turning to face the stranger, "Hi! I'm Donghyuk!" He stuck his hand out in a handshake, grinning widely at the other student, "Are you new here? I've never seen you before! But then again, I'm not very attentive when it comes to my surroundings." He tried to joke, sheepishly glancing at the other male.

@Ω☪jung jaewon✦ℋ [Please take your time. I am super busy with work, trying to find time to relax and teaching my nephew. I am so behind already that soon I may not be on as much, so don't worry.]

Even if the omega didn't think it was a big deal, Jiyong was extremely grateful. After all, he had no family and he wanted to make this place his permanent home. That wouldn't really be possible if he didn't do well in school. And while he didn't put any other pack down, he didn't know much about any of them. Heck, he barely knew anything about the pack he now belonged to. As he was let the other look over his notes, he was surprised when the male snorted and he felt a bit annoyed. Did the kid think he was dumb or something? When he heard Jaewon had already done this, he frowned. How old was this kid? "Well, that's how I am with languages, math and science, but history and me just don't seem to mix." He hated it too, because how could he teach someone else if he didn't even understand it. Pulling out the 3 main questions he was to address in the paper, he read them. "What was the purpose of the Red Valencia being formed and who was their leader? What was the biggest problem these wolves suffered each year? And why was their population dwindling faster than the other packs. I know the last answer, but I can't find much for the first." He knew that originally there tended to be more females born into the pack and thus it was difficult to provide them all with mates.

@kwon jiyong ( sorry again. school is taking a lot already. idk if you're on right now and honestly i'm too lazy to check but- i'll be on for a while tonight and then i'll have to head out tomorrow, but i'll be back friday and the weekend )

/chuckles lightly and I give my head a little shake, my hand waving fairly lazily to try and kindly dismiss your thanks without doing so in a rude manner, or seeming rude by doing so in the first place, a smile on my lips the entire while as I eyed out the book and notes that you had; humming lightly I reached over to take a few papers to see what the generalized idea of what you're learning about now would be before letting out a soft snort, shaking my head firmly when you say about heading out to look for information- I'd done this already about half a year ago, finding that I had some harder classes to begin with before moving on with some slower paced, easier classes these next few years/ No, it's fine. I already did this. History sticks like glue for some reason. /shifting my body, I lean in, pushing your notes back towards you as I give a little wave for you to read away the questions so I can give some information without giving answers, but strong enough hints that it should be fairly easy to catch on/

@Ω☪jung jaewon✦ℋ [No worries love. I've been busy, so I understand. :) Take your time.]

Jiyong continued to smile lightly and he was grateful that the other was willing to help him out. That class had him stressed and it was the reason he was afraid he wouldn't have time for Minki, but if Jaewon was willing to help him, he could relax a bit. At this new bit of information, he grinned and nodded. "Thank you. I'm really grateful, because I just can't seem to understand it and it's stressing me out." Hoisting his bag higher onto his shoulder, he nodded. As he followed the other boy to a table, he sat down and pulled out his book and notes. Then, reaching into his bag once more, he found the questions he had written out that he wanted to answer in his paper and laid it out on the table as well before opening his book back up. "Well, I'm writing a paper on the history of the Red Valencia pack. I am currently trying to outline my paper, but I can't seem to find much information on their origin in our book." He frowned, wondering if he should just go to the library and dig around.

@kwon jiyong ( sorry for taking a bit. i had some school preparations for tomorrow and some party that took a lot longer than expected )

/my head shook slightly when you thanked me for understanding with a smile on your lips, feeling somewhat happy that I was able to make you happy in some way after making you worry that you had made me upset to begin with; my fingers lightly scratched at my arm as my head gave the subtlest of tilts, waiting patiently for you to take in the information I gave to see if there was anything I could help you with before a smile made way to my lips this time around, my head giving a somewhat lazy nod when you asked for some help/ That's fine. I offered after all. Plus I'm pretty good with teaching. /I give a faint little coo to make my words somewhat playful/ C'mon. Let's find a seat. /hums pleasantly as I head off to find a nearby table that's empty enough for text books and whatever papers you have to work with; eventually I find one and immediately slide my way into one of the chairs to make myself somewhat comfortable/ So what kind of history are we talking about?

@Ω☪jung jaewon✦ℋ Ji was relieved that the other didn't think he was rude and that he understood he was just feeling stressed. The pressure to do well in school was bad enough, but then he'd put added pressure on himself to make sure he watched out for his feisty young friend Minki. That was no easy task, but he didn't mind. It gave him something interesting to do. "Thank you for understanding." This time, he smiled back. While he was no stranger to smiling, he didn't do so often. Not many people could get him to smile. Not yet anyway. As for being touched, it was good that the other had kept his distance. Since losing his family, he hadn't had much in the way of skinship and unless you were close to him, he didn't really like it. He was about to say he wasn't really hungry when the other mentioned his best subjects. "History!" He seized on the word. "Would you be willing to help me. It's my worst subject. Languages aren't a problem and I'm great at science and math, but history is NOT my forte. I find it boring." He frowned as he thought about all of the memorization.

@kwon jiyong /I do my best to smile a little warmer, because I would hate to make you think that I'm upset with you, a light shake of my head as my arms part and one hand waves around lazily to try and carefully dismiss your trying to apologize/ It's really okay. I didn't really take it as rude. I just took it as you were pretty stressed and you weren't thinking right. I'm not bothered, I promise. /I have a slight itch to give a little pat to your arm like I do to most people, finding touching to be a quality of mine, but I know that some people don't really like being touched without permission, so I simply give a slightly sweeter smile with the subtlest of squinting at my eyes/ I'm sorry. Uhm... Did you want to head out? We could.. Head out to eat. Somewhere somewhat quiet so you can do your work too. And my best subject..? Well, I suppose Language and history. I'm fairly decent with math as long as I have a pencil, paper, and not too much noise to distract me.

@Ω☪jung jaewon✦ℋ Jiyong sigh as he waited for the other acknowledge what he'd said. While he was a loner, he generally wasn't rude to anyone. His parents had raised him better than that. As the male walked over to him though, he could hear his mom's sweet, lilting voice. 'Jiyong, be nice. You never know who may be your dearest friend one day.' He smiled at the memory, but he didn't have friends. No one could be trusted. The posture that he normally considered defensive didn't surprise him at all. He deserved it after all. "No matter what the reason, I shouldn't have been rude." He rubbed the back of his neck feeling off kilter. He hadn't rubbed his neck since he was a boy. "Well, I can always work outside of the classroom. I just thought I'd be able to concentrate in here, but I can't." He shrugged and stood after putting the last item in his bag and slinging it over his shoulder. The offer surprised him and he hesitated. "What's your best subject?"

@kwon jiyong /peeks over my shoulder when I hear your voice peeking up, head giving the subtlest of tilts with my eyebrows furrowing in the slightest, wondering why you changed your mind and normally I wouldn't question it, but you seemed so stressed just a little bit ago that I can't help but to want to question you and make sure that you're making the proper decisions that benefit you/
/I turn towards you, arms loosely crossed over my chest as I carefully make my way over to you, a small smile on my face as I give a little shake of the head/
You don't have to apologize for being rude or anything. I guess you're just stressed, so that's fine. But you don't have to drop everything you're doing, you know. Especially if it's important.
/peeks towards the book that you have in your hand, giving a small nod towards it to draw your attention there as well/ I can study with you, or- I don't know- help? As best as I can, and if there's time in the day we can head out and do something if you're still up to it.

@Ω☪jung jaewon✦ℋ /feels bad for my reaction and knows that I am just frustrated over how much I have to do before I can enjoy my night, but knows it's not your fault and as such I shouldn't take it out on you/
It's okay. Sorry for being rude. I'm just annoyed at how much I have to get done and trying to figure out how to get it done and still have free time tonight.
/sighs and wonders if I can get it done later and hang out with you for a bit/
What did you want to do? I suppose I can do this work from anywhere and a change of scenery would be nice. I'm sick of being inside.
/says this loud enough for you to hear as you start walking away and I close my book with my pen in it so I don't lose my place/

@kwon jiyong /I blink a few times when you growl, only to look at me with a smile for hardly any time at all before looking towards your book that I hadn't really paid too much attention as it rested in your hands/
Oh.. Uh. Not really. I have a little too much time on my hands. But that's uh. That's fine. I'm sorry for bothering you. /I offer a sheepish smile, eyes refusing to linger on you now that I feel somewhat uncomfortable for having bothered you without taking any notice as to whether or not you were busy/
If you ever uh- are bored, I guess keep me in mind. Sorry again. /I give a slight bow of the head before slowly heading off, but not going too far since I kind of just want to stand and look around, wondering if there's something else I could do to keep myself occupied/

@Ω☪jung jaewon✦ℋ /as I know my evening will be rather busy and I won't have time to do much homework, I'm trying to get most of it done before I leave for the day which isn't so easy since my mind is not on it, but I know that where my mind keeps wandering isn't the smartest of places/
/with a sigh, I close my eyes and rest my head on my arms for a few moments, picturing that adorable face of my only true friend at this point and it makes me smile since he's just so cute and funny, at least to me, but then I know how to take his smart, rude remarks/
/growls and looks up when I feel a poke then gives you a small smile and looks away at my book again/
No thanks. I'm sorry you're bored, but I'm really busy this evening and I need to get this done before I leave. Don't you have homework too?

@kwon jiyong /I had been a little lonely lately, not that my alpha wasn't nice to speak to and hang around, or who I claimed my alpha at this point, but- he wasn't really, so that would explain why I was hunting the halls of the kid I'd helped learn the same paths that I had to memorize so I wouldn't get lost when I had first gotten here a couple months ago/
/it had taken quite a few stops to ask some other students where you were with me occasionally giving the wrong name since our one time meeting was the only time that we really spoke, but in the end, I was able to find you/
/humming pleasantly beneath my breath, I carefully made my way over to you, giving your shoulder the gentlest of pokes to gain your attention, a warm smile on my lips to make sure I don't scare you/
Hey. Jiyong, right? Do you want to hang out? I know we haven't really talked but I'm honestly super bored and need some friends. You're one of the few people I've randomly talked to so I figured- why not? What do you think?

@Ω☄kim heechul Mm that's...surprisingly nice. Thank you, though I wouldn't know how to pay you back
/purses my lips a little with a tilt of my head/
Oh?
/chuckles at your retelling, resting my chin on my knees with an amused grin/
That must have been a sight to see. The alphas didn't try to punish you for that? Seems like they'd call that insolence or something
/hums a little with a shrug/
I suppose so. Though sometimes I envy betas. They're looked down upon because of what they can't do, unlike omegas who get looked down upon because of what they can. Fertile translates into nothing but a birthing machine, to some people. In my pack at home, some omegas aren't allowed to work or go out without an alpha.
/colors a little as I realize how my words sound but nod/
Mhm. It seems fitting.
And I'm sure you did, cats aren't known for being submissive

@Ω☄kim heechul /blinks in surprise, eyes widening a little as I sit up/
You'd do that for me? Why?
/gives a surprised chuckle, eying you curiously/
Really? Wow, that's unexpected. Where I'm from they generally stick to gender stereotypes. So omegas are still treated secondary.
/hums a little and shrugs with a small thoughtful smile/
I dunno, you just do. Cats are very regal and beautiful, and they command respect. I kinda get that from you
/rubs my cheek with my sleeve

@Ω☄kim heechul /gives a hum equal parts disbelieving and placating/
Mm well I suppose that's true. Though I've never been all that lucky so I doubt I'd be that fortunate in the end. But it's a nice thought
/narrows my eyes in thought, cocking my head slightly with an assessing gaze
Hm
Beta? You seem more level headed than an alpha but you don't seem as submissive as an omega.
/brightens up with interest, resting my chin on my knees
Cats are very nice animals. You remind me of a cat
/nods a little

@Ω☄kim heechul /chuckles at you and nods a little/
Yeah I guess. Though I've been told doing art isn't all that lucrative
/tilts my head a little as I listen to you with my full attention before giving a questioning noise at your statement/
Misgendered? Why would they think that?
/gives an interested hum
You like animals? Do you keep any?

@Ω☄kim heechul /hums thoughtfully and spreads my fingers out over my knees/
Mm well art, obviously. But I'm not that amazing at it so its more of a hobby I guess
/clears up my things as I wait, putting away my books and throwing away my empty coffee cup before sitting back down/
Ah well okay then. Hmm
/purses my lips thoughtfully and tilts my head/
Well I'm 20 years old, and from the Xaos pack in Japan. I can play guitar and I like to cook
Your turn

@Ω☄kim heechul /gives a little crooked smile and hums quietly/
I uppose so. I wasn't even planning on coming to this school but hey. I guess sometimes your plans can change, so its good to stay open
/tilts my head up when the bell rings, glancing at the ceiling before looking back at you/
Mm. Well I don't really have anything to do after this so I could stay
Though..
/tilts my head a little/
That won't be an inconvenience to you. Since neither of us are particularly interesting conversationalists as I recall
/chuckles softly

@Ω☄kim heechul Mmm
/plays with a string on my sleeve/
Cause I'm not all that smart or really passionate about...anything, really. Plus I'd probably get kicked out in a month for not turning in work. Even if I wanted to, I didn't plan on going these past few years and it's not like you could scrape up everything you need-- money, recs, passion- in a year. 's okay really.
/blinks at you inquisitively, ruffling my hair shyly/
I don't think there's anything about me, though. Mm but I suppose I should respect your judgement
/purses my lips thoughtfully, bringing my knees up to my chest and peering over them/
I think most people deserve to be happy if they'd let themselves

@Ω☄kim heechul /shrugs a little, giving self deprecatingly smile/
I'm not really cut out for college. 'sides, probably wouldn't do me no good anyways.
Oh?
/tilts my head a little and hums questioningly/
Why me then?
Mm. I think you should go for your dreams to though, so you can be happy
/murmurs quietly, resting my chin on my crossed arms

@Ω☄kim heechul Mmm
/nods a little before shrugging/
Well then I guess my record won't really matter then, since I'm not planning on going to college
/chuckles softly and tsks/
Acting nice to students to throw them off, very clever
Hm
/tilts my head from side to side/
Even so, doing something you want to do is good. Then you won't get stuck doing something you hate

@Ω☄kim heechul /hums lightly in agreement, bringing my legs up to sit cross-legged in the seat/
I've always wondered if your permanent record even exists. You never see it but you hear about it all the time, like an urban legend or something
Hm I don't know, you could be a scary detention teacher that just acts nice
/says in mock seriousness before chuckling softly/
Oh really?
/tilts my head a little and blinks at you/
That's great. Its always nice to be able to do what your dreams are
/smiles softly

@Ω☄kim heechul Mm animals are fun to sketch, I think. They're very, hm, truthful.
/nods a little, stretching my legs out/
Ah. Well detention is different than I thought it would be. They always make it sound so scary
/smiles back at you and tilts my head to the side/
Why aren't you a teacher or a tutor f you like to help students do their work?

@Ω☄kim heechul Mhm, most people don't like being stared as. 's why I like sitting by the windows, birds don't care if you stare
/chuckles with a little smile/
/hums lightly in agreement, tapping my fingers along my arms/
True, though wouldn't that be kinda the point? Like you had a chance to do something productive or have fun so now you're punishment is to sit quietly and be bored.
Mm though I'd imagine you might get more work done here than you would at home, since most people don't go to optional sudy hall
/shrugs up and down/

@Ω☄kim heechul /chuckles lightly, rubbing my cheek with my sleeve/
Ah well I suppose so. I'm usually on the other side, I don't really realize I'm staring sometimes
/shrugs a little with a small smile/
Mm well I'd imagine most people don't need to be in detention to concentrate on their work. 's usually 'posed to be a punishment, I've heard

@Ω☄kim heechul /tilts my head to the side with pseudo seriousness/
I'd imagine two hours of staring would be a bit uncomfortable on both ends
Hm neither am I but you seem to somehow be okay with talking to me. I'm not really that special after all
/smiles slightly with a little nonchalant shrug

@Ω☄kim heechul Hm well then that's good. I'd probably go crazy without something to do
/hums a little, picking my head up to glance around the room before resting my head back on my knees/
Mm well I'd have nothing to do if I left. 'sides, its kinda nice talking to someone so
/shrugs slightly, lowering my eyes a little at the unintended admissal

@Ω☄kim heechul /colors a little when you fix my hair and fiddles with a string on my sweater/
Hm is that not boring?
/tilts my head a little up at you and gives a small smile/
Thank you. I think I'm rather wide awake now though, so I don't need one
/taps my empty coffee cup with my nail for emphasis

@Ω☄kim heechul Hm
/blinks up at you in mild surprise at that statement, nodding a little in assent/
Well, that is true after all.
/smiles slightly, ruffling my already messy hair as I him softly/
Well thank you, I'll keep that in mind. I might have to take you up on that
/brings my knees up to my chest in my seat, flipping through my book/
Mm English but it is just reading. I read the chapter last night but there's another one I think
