《Smiling Chaos》Chapter 5
Advertisement
The seats were already almost filled.Both the audience and panel had occupied thier positions. A fine looking male student walked over to the mike.Who else other than the reputed and extremely talkative Na JaeMin, this lad really likes a platform.He probably volunteered for the MC position.Anything that puts him on the lime light is definitely what he needs.Its not attention seeking, it's more like he doesn't mind the spot light because it really suits him..Anyway it's not like anyone does a better job than him.His energetic vibe spread across the audience as soon as he smiled to begin his agenda. Furthermore his magnetic aura is impossible to deny.
"Good morning SeJun University. My name is Na JaeMin. I come from the faculty of film -making and screenplay production, currently on my third year. I am honored to be standing here as today's MC for SeJun University.Before we continue let us hear some welcome remarks from our beloved principal", as he announced this ,he looked quite fitted for the duty which makes things less unbearable. Talk about enthusiasm.
The principal Mr Park SungWoong ,stood up to walk to the mike and swapped position with JaeMin.Its quite obvious that when he walked over to the mike, everyone took a deep breath in as they know they are going to be listening for quite a sizeable potion of time.He always had this incredibly nerve twitching habit of talking nonstop especially in front of a large group of people. Rumors even started in the school that Principal Park probabliy gets paid per word he says, which makes senses but is far from the truth.Anyway today was no exception from his usual ways.
As he walked over there he held a diary and if you're a SeJun student , then you must know about the big book of' wisdom'. If that book comes out, it's quite obvious that nothing less than fifty points will be explained.He opened the book and as expected, points from one to fifty where listed.He is going to give quite the speech,very informative but nonetheless brutally boring.
This man probably talks to hear the sound of his own voice. He could talk from sunrise to sunset without losing a single calorie.Honestly this man s talking energy could blur the stripes off a tiger.
Anyway that being said, as soon as he said 'thank you', a thunder of applause broke through the air. Thank God he finally kept quiet.That applaud is probably that he managed to shut up.
He went over back to his chair satisfied that he had said all that needs to be said.As he went to sit down , it was WooJin s turn to say something. WooJin walked over to the mike feeling extremely dizzy. It wasn't stage fright or anxiety,he was just not feeling great.The image from the mirror this morning and the figure standing here seem like completely different people.Even he himself could not understand what was going on with his own body. His vision was blurred tremedously not mention he could not so much as hear anything clearly anything being said. The entire time that Principal Park was talking, WooJin had been trying to clear his ears but he was far from successful.And every minute that Principal Park was talking, WooJin s condition was worsening.

"Heavens !! WooJin looks like he is having a tornado in his brain", remarked Lee Sejin who was seating next to Jeong YunOh.Lee Sejin leaned over to whisper this to YunOh but as he turned his eyes to YunOh he noticed that YunOh was not paying the least bit of attention to him.His undying attention was all fixated on WooJin. Come to think of it wasn't YunOh sitting behind the secretary.When did he move to sit next to Sejin who was directly behind WooJin.Maybe YunOh is worried? No way ,that is very unlikely. afterall Sejin is the one who always liked to be the helping one. He was naturally inclined to care about others, placing their needs before his own.The worst part was that not a lot of people appreciated his warm heart.They believed it was all a facade.But what for?It is his personality otherwise he would have long given being nice on that day..
Anyway as for the ever-serious Jeong YunOh, he tends to always look the other way and not dive deep into things happen.Therefore he might be the least likely person from which to expect a reaction.In spite of this, deep down if one could reach into his heart , they would know that he secretly wished to walk over and support WooJin..His heart ached and the only thing he could do was watch in silence.Yunoh likes to convince himself that he only admired the authoritive manner in which WooJin conducted himself but he knows he is lying to himself.Anyway both of them looked attentively at WooJin so they could see clearly the discomfort that WooJin seemed to be in.Fortunately WooJin had his back turned to the them otherwise,they would have been able to see the large eyes bags on WooJin s face.
WooJin opened his mouth to mime the words he wanted to say but as soon as he stretched his jaw muscles, an sharp jolt of pain erupted in WooJin s temple making him clench his jaw and cling onto the mike stand because he was clearly losing his balance.The stage was begining to spin and at this point WooJin was not holding on properly.He opened his mouth to greet the students but just a the word ' good' left WooJin s mouth, a large smash exploded from the highest window of the university and down came a computer.The whole crowd shifted its gaze from the gaunty WooJin to the computer.Jaemin rushed to catch WooJin was clearly not holding up.As soon as WooJin s body landed on JaeMin s arms, another computer was sent flying through another window of the same room. As soon as this happened, the panel that was covered in shock dispersed to find out the cause of the scandal.The students begun whispering among themselves.

"Hyun, what is wrong with president go?",asked Sejin as he rushed over and kneeled next to JaeMin. YunOh just watched all this happen, how he wished that JaeMin s arms were his own.
"I don't know but let's carry him to the infirmary", answered JaeMin who was deathly concerned.Just as he said that he stood up whilst still supporting WooJin,he was clearly heavy as JaeMin was struggling shamelessly .Jaemin was starting to break a sweat when InYoup jumped onto the stage and prompted them to place WooJin on his back.Honestly at this moment YunOh wanted nothing but to crash a brick on In s head.Who does he think he is.If he is not annoying WooJin ,he would be playing a friend and now he is pretending to be a hero.If InYouo doesn't disappear in the next minute, YunOh is going to lose his cool and no body wants to see that.Anyway the minute WooJin touched his back, InYoup was already headed towards the infirmary.
Another three computers came rushing down the window but this time it was a completely different room of a higher floor
Everyone looked at this and started pointing fingers.Inyoup was so hung over getting WooJin to the infirmary that he didn't have time to entertain such things.He headed straight for the enterance after going down the stairs of the assembly platform.Jaemin didn't remain behind for one moment.As soon as InYoup disappeared from the scene,another computer fell from the same room as is the first room.What on earth is going on?
InYoup navigated through the corridors of the university and finally he and JaeMin saw the infirmary sign. Woojin who was on InYoup s back was sweating so much that he had wetted InYoup s denim blue architecture faculty coat. Jaemin rushed forward to hold the door open for InYoup.In went directly inside towards the white sheet bed.In instructed JaeMin to get the doctor or nurse, just anyone to help.With that JaeMin nodded and left to go hunting.In lowered his body so that he could have WooJin sitting on the bed before he laid him down.He did that and as WooJin s Head went downwards ,In supported it all the way to gently rest it on the pillow. After that he watched admiringly at WooJin s sleeping face and his chapped pale lips. He placed his hand on his temple to wipe out the sweat.This motion revealed WooJin s perfectly shaped eyebrows making him look very much delicate.He stared keenly and the corner of his lip started to curl but was quickly returned to a frown by a rude somebody
JaeMin burst the door open and received a cold glare from InYoup.He could not perseve what he did wrong,but seriously why barge so agressively into an infirmary.In turned his angsted eyes from JaeMin leaving JaeMin embarrassed at himself.Anyway during this ,a doctor came into the room and headed towards the patient on the bed.He recognized instantly that it was WooJin and he didn't look anything close to okay.His details were inscribed on barge written 'Dr K NamJoon'.He stood on the opposite side of the bed not once raising his eyes of WooJin.
"What's wrong?",asked the doctor.As he asked he took out his stethoscope from his neck towards WooJin without waiting for a response.And still again his eyes were glued on WooJin.Was this intentional?
Anyway he placed the equipment on WooJin s chest and gave an indifferent look,after sliding it under his shirt.He searched and searched while listening attentively.This scene is far from reassuring.
As for the principal and other heads , they rushed all the way to the third floor computer room.When they got there , the room was locked after several attempts to open it. A security guard finally arrived at the scene after Principal Park s enraged outburst.To add insult to injury, they had to wait over four minutes as the keys were being juggled endlessly.Honestly speaking why would you keep such a large cluster of keys,what if you lose the entire set.Everyone s heads were dying of anticipattion and this guard was talking his jolly sweet time.Just as another head was about to snatch the keys from the guard ,finally he found the key and unlocked the door and the mystery can unreveal. The heads simultaneously stormed inside the room and one by one they all looked around and then at the board and sighed heavily.Some even scoffed at the scene.Principal Park almost kicked at a table..
You can't be serious!!! On the first day of school!!
