Walking in the Wind | 2Min

Chapter 4

The room was pretty large. A whole mirrored wall on one side while the other side had gigantic windows viewing the basketball court, well, curtains were mostly drawn to avoid the sun from heating up the room but it was quite a view when the inter uni leagues used to take place.

There were few students stretching, dancing (not exactly, but let's just say moving with the music), while some, in their own worlds.

This was the dance room Minho walked into. And scanning all around, he found the guy he was looking for, Hyunjin.
At one corner near the window, eyes closed as he relaxed into a chair, resting his head on its back support. The curtain was a little pushed aside, while the soft evening sunlight fell upon his face and hair. Quite peaceful, but it only lasted for a minute.

"Hey, Hyunjin!"
"Hmmm?", replied the younger quite irritatedly, not bothering to open his eyes.

" Hyunjinaaaah! "
And at this, he looked at the one speaking to him. It wasn't how people usually called him there.

"Oh... Minho hyung. " He adjusted himself but not yet sitting upright.

"I'm glad you remember me."Minho shot him a smile with his irresistible sparkling eyes.

"Everyone here knows you. " He stated it with a bored 'duh' face.

Giving a tight smile, Minho continue,"Look Hyunjin, I won't take much of your time cause you look tired. But... um..... I was talking to Mr Min and he said that you guys were recruiting students for helping in the event coming up. "

Hyunjin nodded his head understandingly, "Yes we were, it was only the one's in the backstage and prompters, but we're already done with that. You could audition as a dancer maybe."

"No no..... I don't have much time for practice and everything. Professor said that there's a guy who just joined recently and maybe I could talk to him, he was supposed to give directions and all. But the problem is, I forgot his name. So that's why I'm here. Do you, probably, know him? It's Kim something. " He got all awkward and embarrassed having forgotten the name of someone he was supposed to ask help from.

"Kim?" Squinting his eyes, Hyunjin asked, "Kim Seungmin?"

And there, Lee Know found it quite similar to the one he heard before and relief washed over him.
"Yeah. Thank you Hyunjin!" And he was about to leave, but turned around and while scratching his head and with an awkward smile said, "Another thing, where can I find him, any idea? I need to get it done as soon as possible!"

"Yeah, but no, he was here just a moment ago. But you're not planning on taking his place, right?" Hyunjin had an unreadable expression on his face.

"I am, if only he agrees to. And I'll make him agree to it. "
And just like that, he's gone, half of his words unheard, leaving a confused Hyunjin behind.

The door, as expected, was left ajar. Minho walked in pulling the door behind which banged against its frame creating a loud noise.

"Aish, you guys, lock the door at least."He shouted, but got no reply.
Keeping his bag in his room, he grabbed some drink from the fridge and made his way to meet the young ones.

"Hey guys", he peeked into Chan's room slightly opening the door.

The ones in the room at once stopped what they were doing and looked at him. Soft music played in the background, while three pairs of eyes looked at him, one being unfamiliar. Brown dishevelled hair, rectangular glasses and an oversized t-shirt tucked in, one hand held a paper with lyrics (as assumed by Minho) while the other held a headphone against one ear.

"Cafeteria boy?" Eyebrows pulled together he asked,"What is he doing here?", his question directed to the other two.

"Oh hyung, you should hear him sing! Just can't wait to introduce him to Chan hyung." Han replied with a lot of excitement written on his face. Changbin shared the same expressions.

The new member kept the paper and headphones aside and bowed a little to greet Minho.

"I'm Kim Seungmin. Nice to meet you."

"So, you are the Seungmin!?" He scanned him from top to bottom while the younger felt quite uncomfortable and then with sparkly eyes and a smile he continued, "I'm Minho, meet me when you're done here."
He took a sip of his drink, "in my room. ", and took his leave, closing the door behind.

"What was that about?"
"I'm confused too, Minnie."
"C'mon now, let's continue. "

And just like that Changbin and Han diverted their attention to their work. Seungmin did too, at least his eyes were on the sheet lying before him.
