Do you? || Book 1

~17~

I watched Jisung as he and Nikki giggle while talking to each other. Tch you both can flirt somewhere else I thought. I crossed my arms and leaned to look out the door, my eyes wandered the people who were passing by, a few girls giggling as we made accident eye contact, then I spotted someone whose neck I was ready to break, I clenched my fists and stared daggers at him. San finally looked towards me, his expression was stoic, not angry not happy, hell not even flirty. It was weird. I saw him ignore me and his eyes landing straight on Jisung with that same emotionless expression. I turned around to see Jisung come towards me, I held out my hand and he held it without hesitation. I burned with anger, as I stomped away with Jisung.

"H-Hyung, you're hurting me" I instantly stopped and looked down at his face, and that was a BIG mistake. I had seen how his face lit up with a pinkish color as he held my hand, now he looked at me with his big doe eyes filled with fear. I instantly loosened my grip and he snatched his hand back, rubbing it with his other hand. I mumbled a small apology, completely different to my heart which was begging me to hug him and apologize to him. 

He then clutched his arms and walked beside me, I kept him close to me and looked around in case San had decided to follow us. My thoughts were eating me inside out. I seriously shouldn't have held his hand that tight, he looked scared of me... no I don't want him to feel scared around me, I want him to feel safe and comfortable. shit, I'll need to make up for it. 

I didn't even realize but we reached Jisung's next class. "I have to go now...Thank you for letting me into the club Hyung" I inclined my head and just as he was about to leave I blurted out "Jisung!-" He looked at me and words weren't coming out of my mouth, I rubbed at my nape and asked him- "Would you like to get lunch after school? N-not a date but because we didn't get to eat. If you don't want to that's okay too-" I wanted to slap myself for stuttering. But he cut me off so I'd stop rambling. Ew, I felt like a school girl now.

"I would love to" I matched Jisung's eyes. He was smiling at me again with that adorable smile of his- Wait, no- We're going on a friend-to-friend date- No! I meant outing-

 Face it Minho, how long will you deny your feelings for Jisung.

 Ughhh why do emotions exist... But if they are for this cute kid I don't mind anymore...

"Meet me at the front gate as soon as classes end" Jisung nodded his head with the same heart-melting smile on his face. I went back to the roof to skip the rest of the day, not like I needed to study today.

-Time Pass + POV changed back to Jisung-

Finally, I'm free from this hell... EEEEEKKKK I have a date- NO- I mean an outing with Minho like two friends just chilling... yeah friends... 

I don't know why but that disappointed me, JUST friends. I put my stuff back into my locker and made my way toward the school gate, fortunately, my class had been dismissed early so I had 10 minutes before I would see Minho. I put my hands in my pockets and stood in the playground.

I whipped my head around as I heard someone say my name. My blood dried as soon as I saw that person, my eyes widened and my heart felt like it was going to explode. I fumbled around trying to find my phone as cold sweat ran down my forehead. But then I heard a more feminine voice "Jisungie!~" I saw Nikki running towards me at full speed and she pulled me in for a hug. I tensed up but returned the hug. I looked to see San looking at me with a stoic expression.

"Jisung-" San said, but Nikki beat it to him.

"I don't know who you are but we're talking right now so scoot away"

"Shut up bitch, let me talk to him"

"I don't think so, if he wanted to talk to you, he'd stop me" She looked at me and confirmed her suspicions as I was slightly trembling. San came towards Nikki and used his index finger to lift her chin and came dangerously close to her, he made a sound of disapproval and said "Use this pretty mouth of yours for other things"

Nikki landed a punch straight on San's nose. And mind me, she punched him HARD. He stumbled back and held his nose, groaning in pain as blood spilled down his chin. My eyes widened at the scene unfolding. San growled as he regained his balance and came forward, any sane person would run away knowing San would hurt them but Nikki stood her ground, I ran in front of her and closed my eyes, waiting for impact.

I swear I could feel the air around me ripple and I just waited for the sizzling pain on myself, but it never came. I looked to see a guy around my age hold San's hand in its position and seeth at him "She said, move" San scoffed and was about to say something but he was turned around from behind his collar and pulled face-to-face with Minho. 

"I would love to break your nose, but I see someone already beat me to it, I have a date in less than 5 minutes and I don't want to waste my time dealing with your bullshit so go and don't come back you fucking piece of shit"

San didn't punch Minho, he didn't smirk, he didn't shout, he didn't even scoff, he simply got rid of Minho's hold on him and went to his car and drove away. I guess San was scared of Minho after all.  And I knew it wasn't the time but my face heated up when Minho said 'date' but wait, what if he's ditching me and going out with Nikki!? is that why she's here- oh no-

"You ready Jisung?" Okay nevermind, he was talking about me SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I nodded and looked at Nikki with a smile on my face.

"Thank you... but how did u know I didn't want to talk to him?"

"It's simple I saw you panicking after you saw him so I decided to help"

"A-and who are y-you?" I asked in the politest way to the guy who stopped San from hurting me. Minho's arm instantly made its way around my waist in a protective manner, my inner gay was screaming and squealing. The guy seemed to have noticed, he put on a smirk and replied

"I'm Edward, Nikki's friend... Nice to meet you... Jisung"
