Flashback:

"Why do we need to promote this campaign to our juniors? So much work!" Minghao huffed.

"Anti-plastic campaign. Plastics are harmful towards our environment. We should restrain ourselves from using anything that is made of plastic and polythene.." Jun read about what was written on the placard loudly.

"Why am I here?" Minghao almost cried.

"Our aim is to make this environment a beautiful place without any pollution.."

"Jun, will you shut up? Why are you reading that out?" Minghao looked at the older one with an irritated expression.

"Can't you tell? I'm nervous! Why am I selected for this promotion? Why am I supposed to go to 9(B) for this thing? Ahh…" he almost sat down holding his head with two of his hands. "Okay I think I'll get a heart attack at this rate!"

"Stop this Jun. She's not going to eat you up. What's she? Dragon? Dinosaur?"

"Shut up!" Jun stood up straight. "How can you say that? Do you… do you know how pretty is she? Look at her face and you'll be looking at it the whole time… Oh no! You can't look at her face the whole day!" Jun said.

"Yes of course. That's your job, not mine. Dude are you lovesick? Then why don't you confess?" Minghao asked.

"Yes, sure. So that she never sees my face again!"

"Why so, Jun? Why? Why won't she see your face? At least try. How long are you going to suffer like this?" Minghao asked back.

"Hao, you don't know her. She is so focused on her studies that she doesn't even talk to her friends at all. I have no chance" Jun sighed.

"How much do you know her? How do you know that she's always focused on studies? Wait, do you-- DO YOU STALK HER?"

"Are you insane? Why would I do that?" Jun shouted back. "I just sometimes look at her secretly. Sometimes when she's sitting at the benches by the field or sometimes when she's studying in the empty classroom or sometimes when she's invested in some book in the library or when she eats alone in the canteen.. I just love to look at her" Jun looked at the ceiling while thinking about his three year old crush on Min Yunhee from 9(B).

"And yet you don't want to confess and take a chance?" Minghao questioned.

"Yeah.." Jun looked at the floor.

"Moon Junhui, you are hopeless!"

~•~

"Xu Minghao, You are a liar!" Jun breathed out the words not loud enough that it could reach the table a few metres away where Yunhee was sitting.

"What are you doing Jun? Don't leave!" Minghao pushed him back before he could exit the door of the cafe.

"You two.. you two plotted this together.. No one knew better than you how much I wanted to avoid her. You knew it was making me more uncomfortable. Then why…"

"Because you're fooling yourself. That's why! You told me long ago that despite having some feelings for you, Yunhee has been just running away from them. Then what are you doing now? Are you not running away now?" Minghao asked.

"That's completely my decision. You called me here telling me that you have something to say. That you wanted to meet me. And here you make me meet Yunhee. Isn't this lying?"

"I am just trying to convince you to face her once. Just once. She has realized a lot. Trust me, she told me everything. Now she needs to tell you!"

Jun huffed in displease and rubbed his face before looking at Minghao again. "Alright. I'll listen to her!"
