The boy looked back at him, grinning apologetically, and then cocked his head.
“Hey…” He said slowly. “Aren’t you that new kid everyone keeps talking about? The one who walked in on those girls—”
“Yes.” Hyukjae said quickly, and then even faster, “But it wasn’t on purpose, I swear.”
The boy laughed. “Man, I laughed so hard when I heard about that—Hyukjae, right?”
“Yeah.” Hyukjae said, not sure whether to be encouraged the other new his name, or appalled because of why he did.
“Great!” The boy said, his grin nearly blinding. “Hey, you should sit with me and my friends at lunch today. I noticed you're always alone. Oh yeah, I wanted to ask you when I met you, do you really go around punching people in the face?”
Hyukjae sighed. “No. No, I don’t.”
“Oh.” The boy said, looking vaguely disappointed. “Well, anyway, I better go. Find me at lunch today!”
