Chapter 2- Bad Bunny Boy (1/2)

Years had passed since that horrible day; and the boys were in the academy. Yongguk and Youngjae had fit in well, both already picking what class they wanted to specialize in. Yongguk had chosen to go onto to a team leader role of a warrior class. Youngjae decided to go more tech, particularly, explosive. Jongup was still undecided, but was leaning more to the bruiser side of the combat lessons. Despite different paths in the academy they remained close. After their classes they met in the lounge to talk, rant or help in the classes they shared. Today was no different as Youngjae and Yongguk waited for Jongup. The younger ran in, slightly out of breath. "Held back after class again Jongup?"

"Who'd you flip out of the classroom this time?" The two chuckled as Jongup pouted. No denying their friend was strong and he sometimes got carried away during combat class. He had actually put a few students into the hospital ward; even the teacher once.

"Very funny guys...I was actually talking to him about joining the bruiser class." He sat in between the two, tossing his bag with theirs.

"Finally picked a specialty!" Yongguk ruffled his hair before patting him on the back. "You'll definitely get in."

"Yeah, teach said I wouldn't even need his recommendation. He gave it anyway though."

"This is great! We've all got our specialities, we're almost at a guard team already."

"You're right, all we really need now is a...medic..." Jongup's ears drooped while the other two sighed. When it was the five of them, Himchan showed great interest in being a Mato guard medic. He was already like a doctor in their group; always having a first aid kit around when either of them hurt themselves. They had lost contact with him while in the academy and didn't know if he even got in too. Youngjae cleared his throat, trying to lighten the mood.

"So, you guys ready for mission assignments?"

"That's right! Since we all have a specialty now we're going to get missions!"

"Hope we get missions together."

"It won't be that bad if we get assigned with other students...well except one."

"You talking about that Daehyun guy everyone talks about?"

"They talk about him combat class, he's a stealth specialist student. He's good, but they say his attitude is terrible."

"Heard he made a new teacher cry."

"I heard one of his mission partners switch specialties so they wouldn't be assigned together again..."

"He can't be that bad can h-" Youngjae cut off as a grey matoki walked into the lounge. He wore a black mask over his mouth and nose; and wore a stealth uniform. He briefly glanced at the trio before turning towards the snack bar. The trio followed him with their eyes before looking back at each other. "That him?"

"Yeah..." Youngjae's glance was longer then the others; but he shook it off.

"Huh...from what I heard I expected he'd look meaner not..."

"Not what Youngjae?"

"Well...he looks more like a pretty boy" the grey matoki's ears shot straight up while Yongguk and Jongup stared at their friend. Before he could say anything else he was cut off by getting grabbed by his uniform collar. He was face to face with the grey Mato; who's mask was down and mouth twisted.

'What did you call me...?!"Daehyun growled at the boy. Yongguk and Jongup got up; pulling Daehyun off of their friend.

"I-I'm just saying you don't look the bad boy type...I thought you'd look more tough!"

"Sorry to burst your bubble blondie but-" he got cut off by the man behind the snack bar.

"Hey Daehyun; your order's up!" He glared at the man before turning back to the trio.

"Just keep your comments to yourself blondie..." He turned and left the trio. Jongup and Yongguk glared at him before turning back to Youngjae.

"You ok Jae?"

"Y-Yeah...I'm fine..." He glanced at Daehyun before shaking his head and looking back at his friends. He was ready to change the subject "So, how're the classes guk?"

Pretty good, decided to take some tech classes."

"Hey, trying to steal my thunder!"

"No, just the robotics classes sounded interesting" the trio went to chatting, with Youngjae still making glances at Daehyun. He only stopped after the latter left the room. Yongguk was the first to notice. "Alright you were staring at the jerk most of the conversation...what's up?"

"Wh-what do you mean?"
