MY BROTHER (NCT)

MY BROTHER (NCT)
PERFECT STUDENT


Sunlight began to fall upon this Earth, slowly eroding its heat over time accompanied by a charming dance of abstract wind.


Rejun still set foot towards the intersection of the highway, so it is easier to find an empty taxi there.


And it just so happens, he also does not have Alda to go home too soon so it does not matter also if he is a little walk while enjoying the atmosphere of the afternoon today.


However, when traveling through several large buildings towering along the edge of the road. Renjun unintentionally listened to the noise of a commotion from one of the small alleys that were between the two large buildings.


Renjun who was a little curious about the sound, he immediately approached the source of the sound for fear of something happening there. Moreover, such small alleys are often used to bully others, so no wonder Renjun had thought of directly calling the authorities if there was bullying there.


And as soon as he looked there, he found nothing related to bullying other than Jaemin who was shouting in disrespect while kicking the trash can there.


Jaemin's face was filled with a very burning anger, like he had just experienced a very heavy disappointment.


Runjun who saw the gloomy atmosphere, had intended to rush away from there because he did not want to get involved in other people's affairs let alone become a victim of the anger of others.


But it seems , before Renjun could go suddenly Jaemin glanced at him and realized the presence of Renjun there.


And in an instant, Jaemin's anger began to fall one by one like the fall of cherry blossoms. In fact, Jaemin instead gave a happy smile in front of Renjun for a while.


After he made sure that Renjun could see his happy expression, he immediately walked backwards until his body could lean against the wall of the building while sitting limp and lowered his head, he said, even though his hand still holds the Exam paper with a score of 98 which makes Renjun astonished.


Rejun leaned next to Jaemin, then thrust the bottle of water that was still fully filled from his bag to Jaemin.


"Drink first!" forcibly Rejun who was only obeyed by Jaemin.


He immediately sipped the water in the bottle until it ran out, before he finally thanked Renjun while smiling .


"Thank you, bro."


Renjun just nodded.


"So, what are you doing here?" jaemin asked as he raised his head up, his annoyed face started to subside upon seeing Renjun's face.


"You go home" replied Rejun who did not like pleasantries.


"Where are you out of, bro?"


"Group work." Jaemin just nodded as a sign of understanding.


"If you're alone, what's the rambling here?" ask Renjun.


The friendly smile on Jaemin's face faded away, he handed the test paper he held to Renjun.


"I'm really sorry, because it was in school got this value." Jaemin clenched his hand, looking so annoyed that he wanted to curse himself.


"Value 98? Less satisfying?" ask Renjun who feels amused himself.


"Yes, try I'm not one."  Jaemin lowered his head, his facial expression grew even more moody to the point of making Renjun feel guilty.


"Your grades are good, why are you upset?" ask Renjun.


"In this world, only one champion will be seen in the eyes of others and only one person can get a title that is recognized by everyone. Moreover, the test score, pass only 100 points which are considered as intelligent people," Jaemin said while standing.


"Somehow, my parents would be upset if I didn't get a 100." Jaemin smiled, he laughed at himself.


"I know, but whatever the exam is, I have to be the perfect student in everyone's eyes." Jaemin laughed, he patted Renjun's shoulder gently.


"I know you're hurt, stop pretending to smile." Renjun showed his upset face, he was a little unhappy to see the expression of Jaemin's face that was inversely proportional to all his words.


Jaemin who listened to Renjun's words just now, was immediately stunned and wrinkled his face.


"You're right, I feel too tired. For me, life is too hard and I'm sick of it! I was tired of always trying to be the perfect child in their eyes, just because my sister failed and now I have to bear all their expectations. I really want to be a fool like the others, " Jaemin threw his eyes out of Renjun, he was too afraid his emotions were getting visible so he hurriedly turned to the other direction.


But instead of the support and concern that Renjun gave, he even hit Jaemin on the head with his relaxed face.


"You don't have the right to complain like that, you should be grateful to have intelligence and be a top student." Renjun frowned, his eyes as if he wanted to just come out with an intonation of his irritated voice.


"Basic stupid! Even you should be happy to be the proud child of your parents," said Renjun, who made Jaemin smile happily.


"You turned out to be creepy too yeah, I thought you were quiet." Jaemin stroked his head which was hit by Renjun.


"I'm not quiet, it's just males!" Rejun tried to find a defense.


"But I'm glad 'Is this really what it feels like to be noticed by a friend? Are friends really fun?" jaemin asked, Renjun paused for a moment to digest Jaemin's question.


"I don't know, I haven't had any friends in years either." Rejun returned Jaemin's exam papers back.


"Ah, here behind my bottle!" ranjun's command glared, but whatever expression he emitted always made Jaemin feel comforted.


Jaemin snatched Runjun's hand to shake hands, "Let's be friends!"


"Son," Rejun's raw repulsion immediately pulled his hand in an annoyed tone.


"Why? You'll even be lucky to be friends with me, I think this is your second refusal today."


Renjun sighed, "For me to be friends and not befriend you at all there is no profit and loss. So, I also have no reason at all to be your friend!"


Renjun spoke bluntly, he did not care at all what Jaemin thought because he also thought Jaemin was not troublesome to be hostile like Heechan.


"Please reconsider, I beg you!" lirih Jaemin's.


"You can be friends with others, you don't have to be friends with me at times."


"I just want you to be my first friend, after all I've never had time to make friends other than study and study. I completely forgot how to make friends, so please be my first friend!" pinta Jaemin enthusiastically without hesitation, Runjun who listened to it so shuddered with goosebumps as if he remembered what it was like to live a lonely life without a single friend at his side.


He just shook his head, "You can think of me as your friend, but for now I need time to think of you as my friend."


Jaemin smiled listening to Renjun's words just now, while Jaemin immediately pulled the bottle back and prepared to leave from there.


Renjun actually did not really intend to say that, he just tried to resign and try to defeat his ego.When in fact, he is still traumatized to make friends since the events of the past Junior High.


But it seemed, Jaemin seemed happy to hear it and immediately shook Renjun's hand.


"Thank you, buddy." It was just silent and awkward.


Actually Jaemin really wanted to spend a lot of time with Renjun who had just become his friend but when he saw his watch suddenly he remembered that he had a bill for a few more hours .


"Next time we hang out together!If so, I go to tutoring first, my friend!" jeemin's screeches went straight from there.
