The World of Elm
All I Ever Wanted


After class ended I said goodbye to Han and Hyunjin, each of us going our separate ways. I had a lot on my mind as I walked.

Y/N
What am I even doing here, honestly...

As I glanced up I noticed a familiar figure walking towards me.

Y/N
...


Changbin
Are you here to stop me too?

Y/N
I'm sorry?


Changbin
You're the spitting image of your mother, ugh...

I could sense his discontent with me, despite us never properly meeting before.

Y/N
Everyone seems to know about me and my family...but I'm completely clueless...

I sighed, the lost feeling that was creeping on me now taking over. Why did I have to come here? Can I even survive this place, this world?


Han
Hey. We need to talk.

I felt someone gently grab my shoulders and pull me back, making me come back to my senses. I shook my head slightly confused.

For a moment there it felt like I was being possessed by some sort of dark presence.


Changbin
About what?


Han
You know.

Han glanced down at me for a brief moment. He had a serious look on his face but it quickly changed to a cheeky smile.


Han
You should head to lunch, Y/N. Jeongin and Seungmin are probably waiting for you!

Y/N
Oh! Right- I'll see you around then.

I awkwardly looked at the two before running off to find the dining hall.

Before I completely disappeared down the hall I could barely hear Changbin's words.


Changbin
All I ever wanted was for people to view me the same way.

Y/N
Why does it feel like I'm slowly getting dragged into something...

I didn't have a good feeling about this school. Jeongin and Seungmin seemed like nice people, but was everyone as nice as them?

What if there was someone with a motive...a motive that could destroy everyone here?

??
Hmm, you're making friends quickly.

I paused as the voice spoke, looking around to see who was there.

Y/N
Hello?


Minho
Don't worry, I'm not your enemy.

A boy with soft black hair stepped out from around the corner, his dark pupils showing no sense of hostility.


Minho
My name is Minho.

Y/N
Er...Y/N. Why would you be my enemy?

Minho circled around me, scanning me up and down before standing in front of me. His arms rest behind his back, and he had on a warm smile.


Minho
Mm I dunno, that's a good question. Then do you not have any enemies yet?

Y/N
No...?


Minho
No?

Y/N
Well Jeongin and Seungmin can't be my enemy, they've been so nice to me. Han has looked out for me too.


Minho
Mm...?

Y/N
Hyunjin...seems like a good person...and Changbin...

I trailed off. Were they all good people?


Minho
Y/N, I think you should think carefully about who you choose to hang around. In Elm we like to stab each other in the back...

Minho gracefully walked past me, a small smirk forming on his lips.


Minho
...literally.
