it was a monday monday, and your class got the opportunity to go to jeju island for a week for history class. you were on your bus, having gotten on first as you normally arrive to school 30 minutes before everyone else to study. you were just listening to music, specifically wave to earth's new ep, play with earth 0.03, and before you knew it, the bus was pretty much full.

"excuse me?" a shy voice stutters
"can i sit here?" you look up as the voice continues.

hanjin, his real name being han zhen, often found himself the target of teasing from other kids at school purely because he was a foreigner. he looked clearly shy and hesitant as he spoke to you. while you typically kept to yourself to avoid drama, you never hesitated to stand up for anyone being bullied.

as you glanced around, you noticed several classmates whispering and laughing, mocking him for asking to sit next to you.
