11:11 wish

Chapter 3

Wonwoo hates Mingyu.

A lot.

He still doesn't get why Mingyu picks on him. As far as he remembers, they were friends in elementary school. After Mingyu came back during their high school years, the taller started to pick on him.

For a very smallest example, it would be Mingyu throwing crumpled papers during the class to him.

So, today's incident is not surprising because Mingyu did that a lot.

Probably Wonwoo might have felt sorry for being like this with his childhood friend a few years ago, but now, the fact that Mingyu gets more and more annoying is like a daily reminder to him for taking revenge.

Mingyu will surely get something very terrible back for today's case. However, right now, Wonwoo can't think of anything, that is why he found himself sitting at one of the corners at the library and started reading some books to calm himself down.

'Snow White'

Yes. It's a fairy tale and also was filmed by Walt Disney. And yes, Wonwoo, the 20 years old boy, is reading it. So, what? Who said a college student can't read those stories when he feels upset?

It is a Wonwoo's hobby, a secret, a guilty pleasure. He likes to read fairytales or watch some Disney cartoon whenever he is sad, angry, or wants to kill Kim Mingyu.

Wonwoo likes how the villains in the stories get punished for what they did. It satisfies him so much because, in reality, he can't do anything to Mingyu.

So, he breathes in and out, starting to read the book. Wonwoo got so absorbed in his story that he didn't notice someone was standing behind him.

"I didn't know you still read fairytales." The voice came right behind Wonwoo.

Fuck.

He knows this voice so well.

"So, the top student and the college sweetheart ran out of the lecture to read this cartoon, huh?" the voice continued. Wonwoo could hear a chuckle and he can imagine a smirk on the person's face.

"Hi Wonwoo." After finished teasing from behind, finally, the boy with chestnut hair smiles and sits in front of him as he took the book from Wonwoo just to see the cover.

Kim Mingyu.

Why must be he here? Wonwoo looks up at this old clock hanging on the wall of the library. It's only five past eleven. The lecture has not finished yet.

"Why are you here?" Wonwoo frowned and took his book back from Mingyu.

"Why I am here, is not important." Mingyu puts his face on his palm and wears a wide grin. "Why you are reading this book, is important."

"It's none of your business." He said and quickly pick his things up. He can't stay with Mingyu, not even another minute longer.

Clearly, he must have done something bad to someone in his past life that Karma got him with Kim Mingyu.

Stupid asshole.

Mingyu decided to walk along with him, only to whisper in his ears, that those books are for girls.

"Wonwoo, I didn't know you were this..." at one corner, around the bookshelf, the taller stopped in front of him "...girly." with a smirk on his face that Wonwoo wants to rub it off so much right now.

"I am not girly!"

"No one reads them, except girls."

"I do." he defenses. Of course, he defenses. He has to. It's his right. Wonwoo is hundred percent certain that everyone has their own right to do what they love.

"So, you like fairy tales, huh?" Wonwoo tries to ignore the question.

"Fairytales are non-sense though."

"They are not non-sense!" He said as he tried to walk away from the taller but it is impossible when he is stuck between the bookshelf and the broad chest.

"Can you get out of my way?"

Ignoring what he asked, Mingyu shoots another question with his tone of voice mixed with amusement.

"Don't tell me you are superstitious, too."

Yes...but he didn't answer. Mingyu does not need to know that.

"Are you serious? So, you believe in some shits like 11:11 wish?" Mingyu laughs, an ugly laugh in Wonwoo's perspective.

Yes. What if Mingyu tells everyone about Wonwoo? God, that is the worst-case scenario. Probably he is frowning too much, Mingyu started laughing at him.

"Alright, enough with that grumpy look. It's okay. I won't tell anyone..."

Oh. Mingyu won't tell anyone.

Wait... what?

"...only if you buy me for lunch and carry my bag for the rest of this semester and next two semesters." Mingyu continues.

"No! Why would I do that?"

"Exactly! You don't want to do that. That's why I am telling you to do it. Or I can tell everyone that, the smartass Jeon Wonwoo who gets confessed by a lot of girls on valentine's day is actually a cute girl."

"Ya!" All Wonwoo could think about right now is how to get back at Mingyu. Wonwoo would be thrilled to get rid of that Cheshire smile on Mingyu's face.

As Wonwoo walks away from Mingyu, he tries his best to think of Kim Mingyu's weakness.

He remembers that time he tried to steal Mingyu's diary. It was last year. Kim Mingyu did not write much in his diary. Stealing his diary was useless. Wonwoo needs something strong, something that could trigger Mingyu. What does Kim Mingyu have? And what doesn't he have?

All he found out was how Mingyu does not like sweets and how he has never kissed anyone before.

Oh...

Wonwoo did not care much about Mingyu's dating life at that time. But maybe he has to now. Maybe he could tell the whole school about how Mingyu has never kissed anyone before. But again, no one would care. Mingyu is not popular. People know him for bullying Wonwoo. That is all.

Something to trigger Mingyu...

But what if...what if he steals Kim Mingyu's first kiss? That might trigger him for the rest of his life.

Oh, Kim Mingyu, you can't beat me anyway.

"Ya! Kim Mingyu!" Wonwoo calls as he walks towards the taller. He takes a glance at this wooden clock hanging on the wall. It was eleven-minute past eleven.

Wonwoo smirks as he dragged Mingyu's hand and stood between the bookshelves. He could see how wide Mingyu's eyes were. Wonwoo grabbed his chin to make him look into his eyes.

"Now, it's 11:11 am and I wish Kim Mingyu would fall for me."

In a split second, their lips touch and so, a wish was made.
