Hallways

Hyukjae ran down the hallway laughing unstoppably as he ran his fingers along the wall on his side going to his next room.

He was shocked when she suddenly yanked his hair a bit as she examined it. "Want to try that out? And what color do you think suits me?" Ryeowook then asked her as he removed his arm around her and stretched just to take the opportunity that they might be awkward later. The hallways were merely crowded right now and most of the students have gone back to their common rooms already and not everyone can be outside at this moment but as long as they didn't get caught by anyone.

She nodded, it was nice how he understood her feelings. Yet, she gulped once more when she felt his arm around her. Why was she gulping so much? Probably needed the extra air. She heard her heart racing as she hoped that he didn't heard her. It felt amplified strangely, like her heart in her ear.
"Dy-ying your hair?" Tiffany stammered, as she looked up. She looked at his brown hair and wondered how it would be like black, blonde, purple, blue, etc. She tapped her lips, "You would look different." She bluntly said, "Yet, I can't really imagine you with any other hair colour." She tugged on a lock of hair of his as she examined it, she couldn't help but notice how it looked naturally straight, even though they had ran for quite a bit. She didn't know how to let go without seeming awkward. She awkwardly removed her hair as she suddenly blurted out, "I have a spell that I could use to change your hair colour temporarily!"

"Let's go back to our dorms and sleep," Ryeowook suggested flatly as he walked towards her. "I'm sure you've had a long day as well as I did," he said again as Ryeowook slung an arm over Tiffany's shoulder and they both started walking back to their dorms. Now that she's safe, that's a few things in life he shouldn't be worried about now so he can get sufficient rest.

But Ryeowook can't get the feeling that how she perfectly fits in one arm and that made him quite flustered. He was sure enough she could hear his heartbeat but he doesn't know if that's either from him or from her. Ryeowook just shook his head and thought about putting his hand back down but gosh how comfortable he was with her, he didn't give a heart to do it. "I thought about dying my hair," Ryeowook suddenly said suddenly, trying to make conversation.

She could have swore that her cheeks went on fire as he patted her cheek. "Y-Yeah..." She gulped at the contact. Was her cheeks was on fire? It felt like it as his fingers patted her cheeks but disappeared almost instantly as he dropped his hand. She almost liked the feeling of fire burning on her cheeks and flames dancing in her stomach. She her lips as she caught her breath.

She forced a chuckle as she muttered softly, "Do something to my little pretty face?" She grinned softly as she started to walk. She looked back, as she frowned at him and signaled him to catch up. She half-smiled as she waited slowly, waiting for him to catch up.

It was all de ja vu again; trying to save themselves, but this time it was a bit different from before. Ryeowook managed to stop the bullies from harming Tiffany and he actually expected them to tell him to get lost or something, instead they for protecting her and calling them names like 'lovebirds', 'her boyfiee' and stuff. It actually made Ryeowook kind of embarrassed being called such names before Tiffany dragged them away and her words made him know his place: just a friend.

He doesn't know how to feel about that; should he be glad or be devastated just to be referred as a friend? Once they were already out of the bullies sight, they stopped at one part of the school's hallways as they panted tiredly. "You should stop getting yourself in trouble when I'm not with you," he told her as he was still trying to catch his breath. "Luckily, I was there otherwise they might do something to your little pretty face," Ryeowook stated as he patted Tiffany's cheek.

Tiffany tried to keep a neutral face as the bottom of her lip started to tremble slightly. She hugged her textbook closer as she stepped back. Her pupils grew larger as she realized what was behind her. The ground, it didn't help how they were on the fifth floor, a fall that could possibly sent her to the hospital. She gulped as she turned to them. "Leave me alone. Please." She told firmly.
The gangleader smirked and rolled her eyes mockingly at her. "The mighty Miyoung Hwang. Bowing down to mudbloods?" She cruelly smirked. Tiffany's eyes narrowed slightly at the use of her full name, her hands gripped tightly around her wand. The more petite girl who looked like a cat, smiled devilishly as she pointed her wand to her. Her wand drew lines that left a red trail as she pretended to cut her face. "How would Miss. Hwang look with some ...changes to her face." She cocked her head slightly as her wand waved dangerously close to Tiffany's milky skin. "Please stop." She half-begged, half-pleaded as her voice cracked. A sly smile as they drew closer, whispering, "Even mudbloods like us at least have a little pride, Missy,". Tiffany shut her eyes, mentally preparing as a loud cry was heard and darkness over her eyes. She opened slowly, surprised at the tall figure that was in front of her. "Ryeowook?" She softly croaked, her voice slightly cracking. Confusion flooded her mind as her arms grew slack, textbooks crashing on to the ground.
"What are you doing?" Her voice rose as colour rapidly came to her cheeks as people started looking and whispering. She didn't realize that reason wasn't just because of the whispering. "I'm fine." She hissed as she tugged softly on his robes. She quickly whispered a spell as her textbooks floated to her hands. Ignoring the loud wolf-whistles and taunts from the bullies. "He's just a friend!" She snapped at them as she dragged him away. Dread filled her heart the moment the words were spoken. *Why do I feel so bad.* She thought to herself as she tried to hide her warm cheeks.

@Hwang Miyoung It's been a long day for everyone; they just wanted to go straight to the common room and catch some extra z's before another long usual day tomorrow. Ryeowook was already yawning on his way back to the Ravenclaw common room and took the long instead just to take his time. Before he turned to make a left at the corner of the hallway, he noticed a group of people crowding over something. Interested, he approached them although feeling a bit lazy but he did anyways. Getting closer to the group, they were actually surrounding somebody as Ryeowook already guessed that they were bullies but what shocked him the most was the person being bullied.

Tiffany who's expression was worried, tried to defend herself even if she still has her wand with her. The bullies were taunting her, teasing her about the fact that she's a pureblood and how everyone despises them. "Even mudblood like us at least have a little pride, Missy," said one of the bullies with a sly smile, slowly getting closer to her. "Hey, leave her alone!" Ryeowook cried out as he made way through the bullies, trying to protect Tiffany.

@Do Kyungsoo Jaejoong was a little mad. Actually jokes, he was a lot more than mad because Suji had conveniently left an extremely ambiguous message on his pillow and it had been confusing him for the entire day. It was surely a stupid idea, walking the opposite direction to the crowd, but stubbornness was a sore trait this Slytherin carried and he didn't /care/ whether anyone cursed at him for pushing through rudely. And it was all too soon when something crashed into his chest. There was a sound of paper crinkling and Jaejoong stopped in his tracks, looking down in surprise. He watched a shorter (if not by much) boy was bend over to pick up whatever he had dropped. When the boy straightened up again, Jaejoong immediately noticed how flustered he was and attempted a smile because he honestly needed to find Suji first before dealing with a Gryffindor. (Jaejoong assumed the boy was a Gryffindor, evidently by the red stripe on his robes).
"No it's fine," Jaejoong replied coolly to the other's stuttered apology. He grinned this time.

And boy were his facial muscles getting sore.

@kIM gAYJOONG [screw it, i'm going for it]
Taehyun, completely focussed on his comic, failed to notice the boy walking towards him. As he attempted to turn the page, he his face buried into the chest of one of his seniors.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" He stuttered, backing away quickly. "I wasn't watching where I was going."
He felt his face going red at the snickers coming from the crowd around him, as he picked up his books, preparing to go on his way and spend the rest of the day forgetting about the incident.

@Son Naeun "Ah, already leave?" Onew said, can't hide his disappointment. Onew himself didn't know why, but he just felt.. like he want to spend more time with Naeun. She seemed nice and kind. Onew wanted to know more about her.
"You know, I know a nice place for you if you want to spend your time reading books. I can show you that..." Suddenly he lost his words. The place he wanted to tell her was outside their castle. And now it's raining so hard outside. Nice.
"Stupid rain" He mumbled.

@Jay Park Whoa, the astronomy tower. It was really pretty up there, and Sica had thought about going up there once, but never really got to it. "I'd love to go there!!" She jumped and clapped her hands. "Let's go shall we?"

@Jessica Jung He had been just about everywhere in the castle, but the best place he could think of, was the Astronomy tower. He wondered if she'd be up for it. "Hey so, I'm not sure if you ever been there, but the astronomy tower is really dope. And no one should be there right now." He suggested, biting his lip

@Jay Park "Yeah, sure! Where would we hang out?ouo" Jessica was hoping he'd ask her sometime. She'd always stay home,being bored.

@Jessica Jung "So. Since we are both out of class and clearly aren't on the way there. Did you wanna hang out?" He asked, hoping she'd say yes. Everyone else always said no for some reason

@Jay Park "No, it's not silly. I'm sure you have your reasons, Jay." She grinned, afterall he has been through a lot and she understood that.

@Jessica Jung "I guess it's trust issues yanno? I dunno. It's just hard for me. Seems silly aye?" He said with a laugh. Nineteen years old and half of his personality was that of a shy 6 year old.

@Jay Park She nodded, smiling. "You were. I regret thinking you were some cold azz before though." "Ah, why is it hard for you to talk to people? I just don't like some people, so I avoid then." Jessica nodded and shrugged, some people were just so annoying and dramatic. She didn't have time for that. No one did.

@Jessica Jung "I was?" He asked with a small chuckle. He knew he could come off as stony, but he had no idea how stony. "I'm sorry. It's hard for me to talk to people." He scratched the back of his head embarrassedly. //no it doesn't omg~~~~~~/

@Jay Park Jessica grinned, when she saw Jay's smile again. Is this what they called "charming oppa"? Cause if so, Jay fits the definition perfectly. "Of course! Well..I gotta admit I thought you were hard to talk to at first, but I was totally wrong." She grinned. /sorrydoes this reply cos i kno it duuuuu~/

@Jessica Jung He raised his eyebrows in surprise. Ice Princess? Her? No way. She was like, super cute and sweet, well, from what he knew. "You didn't treat me like an outcast." He smiled, and the smile stayed there

@Jay Park She nodded again and said," Ah I feel ya on that. They don't call me ice princess for nothing." She shrugged as well. "Eh? Different? How?" She was curious.

@Jessica Jung He nodded slowly and sighed. "Most people don't get past how I am. They see me and get scared." He shrugged again. "I'm used to it. Nothin' new. But...you're different."

@Jay Park "Ah, I understand." Jessica really did understand, her parents weren't gone yet they were so busy with work she understood how lonely it must've been on Jay. "Really now?ouo" Jessica grinned. But she felt a little sad inside for Jay. "How could this dude here not have a bunch of friends?" She thought to herself.

@Jessica Jung "I taught me. I was alone a ton growing up, and I honestly didn't have anything else to do." He smiled and nodded his head, he wasn't happy his parents were gone, but none the less, he did see it as a small plus. "You're my only friend." He chuckled in embarrassment.

@Jay Park "But how? Who taught you?" She was in awe. Learning these spells are freaking hard, and here we have Jay freaking Park mastering them like they're nothing. "Ah..yeah, I guess. ouo You're such a good friend, Jay." She nodded again. Even though he seems like a cold person he's actually pretty nice.

@Jessica Jung "Of course I do. I've known em for a long time." He smiled and walked up to her. "Well. You're welcome. You're the last person who deserves to get stepped on." He said in a soft, peaceful tone.

@Jay Park She tapped her head. "Well, I'm sure your brain cares if you miss class or not. Wait wha-- You know all the spells?" She had forgotten that Jay was a freaking genius. She remembered how he had mastered all the spells before in front of the class. "If you hadn't come I would've looked like this x____x" Jessica lied back down on the floor and pretended to play dead.

@Jessica Jung He shook his head and stood up. "Nah. No one cares if I miss class or not. I know most if not all the spells anyways." He smirked happily. He had all that learned and memorized years ago. He then nodded. "Of course. I wasn't finna let you be a bug" He said with a chuckle.
