MINSUNG - Broken mind

CHAP.40 - True happiness

JISUNG POV

He was standing in the hallway waiting for Minho anxiously. Unexpectedly he had slept well but the stress about performing in front of the whole class was there. The worst thing possible was if their teacher didn't like their presentation because they had used so many hours working on it. Luckily, Minho was the person who was never late. Jisung saw him walking in the hallway way too early and that made him really happy. Maybe Minho would be able to calm him down a little bit before they had to keep the presentation.

"Good morning sweetie, are you stressed out?" Minho asked straight away when he walked up to Jisung. Jisung just nodded because he knew his voice would've been shivering way too much. "I think it would be best if we could go first because then your anxiety can't grow too big. Am I right?" Minho asked. He had thought a lot about how to make Jisung feel better. "Yeah, that sounds actually good," Jisung answered with a small tense voice. Minho tried hugging him and then dragged him into the classroom where almost everyone already was. Jisung was clearly not the only one who was anxious because also Sanha and Daehwi looked extremely nervous on the other side of the class. 

They had to sit in the class for another fifteen minutes before their teacher got there and took a long look at his class. "Oh well, we haven't seen properly with everyone since the beginning of this semester. I can see some of you are really nervous but there is no need for that. You've sent me the summary of your works once in a while and they look magnificent. Now I have made up the order in which you'll present the works. First will go Daehwi and Felix then Hyunjin and Seungmin then Jisung and Minho and last will go Bomin and Sanha. Is everyone ok with this order?" the teacher told them. Minho raised his hand immediately and Jisung almost felt embarrassed. "Yes, Minho?" their teacher gave him the right to speak. "I was just wondering that if it's okay for everyone else, we would like to go first because I'm so stressed about this whole presentation. It won't get any better if I'll have to wait for so long," Minho asked trying to sound as stressed as possible. Their teacher glanced at the whole class and no one seemed to have anything against Jisung and Minho going first so he let them start the presentations. 

Minho gave Jisung a supporting smile before he turned their slides on and started talking. Their chemistry was so on point that if neither one of them run across a problem the other one would help immediately. They had studied their subject so much that they told everyone so much more than they had written in their slides and everyone listened concentrated. Even the teacher looked astonished when they told some pretty complicated formulas on how to make some of the biodegradable materials. Jisung might have been anxious at first but performing gave him confidence and he nailed everything he did during the presentation. 

Once they had stopped presenting everyone started clapping slowly. Everyone was surprised by the quality of their presentation. "Wow, that's all I can say. Just wow. You had really dug deep into biodegradable materials and it really seems like you know a whole lot about them. Also, Minho, if you were stressed about performing I couldn't tell that at all. You seemed so relaxed," their teacher praised their work. Jisung blushed but thanked their teacher and got back to his seat. After the presentation, a wave of relief rushed over Jisung and he just smiled while sitting in his place. Very patiently they listened to everyone's presentation. 

"Okay, so now everyone has given their presentation and I'll send your grades later for you once I've checked the works again. Just know that everyone did really well and there's nothing to worry about. Now you are free to go and have a nice summer since you barely have school before the holidays!" their teacher encouraged them. Everyone rushed out of the class and made sure everyone was going in the same direction. They had made a plan to go to the nearby grocery shop to buy something to eat on the picnic and after that go to the nearby park. On their way out they saw Chan, Changbin, Bambam, and Yugyeom who joined them. 

In the grocery store, they were all around the place since everyone was trying to find their favorite snacks and drinks. After an eternity in the store they finally got out and the loud laughing group headed towards the park they were supposed to have the picnic on. A few of them had some blankets with them and someone had brought even playing cards so that there was something to do. Bambam had even brought his big portable speaker so that they could listen to some music. 

Once they got to the park they were able to see Jeongin, his girlfriend, and other friends already hanging in the middle of the park. They headed there and set up a nice place to hang out for a few hours before it'd get cold. Jisung sat right next to Jeongin who was on the edge of his friend group. It was Jisung's first time seeing his girlfriends so he also greeted her and asked a few friendly questions before letting her be. Minho sat next to Jisung obviously and they started eating their snacks happily. 

MINHO POV

Minho was just eating his shrimp snacks and listening to Chan telling him a story about his childhood in Australia. As if Minho hadn't heard this story a million times before but it was a fun story and he didn't want to take the pleasure of telling it from Channie. Chan had really helped Minho out a lot during some hard times and he was such a sweet person. Minho just hoped he would find someone reliable to be with. Bambam playing some Korean R'n'B in the background created a great atmosphere for the whole gathering. 

Once Chan had told him the story and started to talk with Yugyeom who was sitting on his other side Minho just looked up and saw all of his new friends in one place. No one seemed stressed at all and everyone was laughing, talking, eating, or singing. It was such a wholesome view. He had only gone to this school for one spring and it already felt like the best school there was. Minho took Jisung's hand and hold it tightly. Jisung glanced at him quickly and smiled. "Is everything okay?" Jisung made sure from Minho. "To be honest, nothing could be better. I've never been this happy."

Writers greetings

Thank you for reading my first fanfic ever this far. Completing this story was a lot of work but it was truly worth it if even one person enjoyed this story at one point. I'll appreciate any comments left on this story. Writing has always been important for me and even though English isn't my first language I wanted to improve my skill by writing in English. 

Also a fun fact: I put this whole story to word on my computer and it's 66 pages long! That's amazing. When I started writing this story I never thought I'd make it this long and the fact that I really wrote it makes me genuinely happy and proud of myself. Maybe one day I'll be able to accomplish one of my dreams: Writing a whole book.
