Minho PoV, Thursday

Since tuesday I have to think a lot about Jisung.

I was really sad when he didn't show up yesterday. That actually surprised me. I don't get sad over someone. Maybe over my sister when she's not okay. But noone else is as important as my sister to me.

I have a really good bond to my sister because she kind of raised me. My parents are rarely at home so she had to take care of me, although she's only 3 years older than me. When I was younger there was of course some kind of nanny but when my sister turned seventeen she surprisingly wanted to take care of me herself. She always said I have to get raised by someone I'm close to. You could say that I was close to my nanny but I wasn't. I never really liked her. So I owe my sister a lot. She's the most amazing person I know.

But back to Jisung. I really hope that I see him today.

But when I walk to our table with my friends I only see Felix and Jeongin coming. I sigh. What did I expect?

Should I ask Felix where he is?

I turn to around to face Felix. He chats with Changbin who looks at him affectionately.

''Felix?'', I say. He turns in my direction. ''What?''

''Where's Jisung?'', I ask. He looks at me with big eyes. ''I don't think I should telll you this.'' I frown. ''Please Felix!'', I beg and try to look cute.

It doesn't seem to work.

But suddenly Jeongin speaks up: ''Come on Felix, I think these two should clear things.''

Felix's look immediately becomes soft. ''You're right. He's at the back yard where almost no students are.''

I stare at Jeongin. Who gave him such powers??

I stand up and almost run to the back yard. I stumble through the back door and am greeted with the clear sky, trees and benches. And on one of those benches sit Jisung and Seungmin.

Jisung looks so happy and peaceful. My heart flutters.

I feel awful for making him feel bad.

I walk up to him. When he sees me his eyes become wide. Seungmin stares at me angrily. Holy fricking canoli, please stop looking at me like that Seungmin...

I stand in front of him but he doesn't look at me. Instead he watches a little girl group that is also here. I kneel down and try to look in his eyes but he ignores me. I get angry so I grab him by the wrist, lift him up and try to drag him away. He yelps quietly and when I turn around I'm met with Seungmin. Fuck.

''Let him be.''

Holy canoli. My palms start sweating and I stutter: ''I-I just want to t-talk.''

''Well, I don't think Jisung does. Back off.''

I turn around to Jisung but he still doesn't look at me so I tell his bangs: ''Please Jisung, I just want to talk to you! I swear I'm not going to do anything!''

Instead of answering he looks at my hand that still forcefully grabs his wrist. I let go and try again: ''I won't touch you or come close. Just follow me, okay?''

He looks up and when his eyes meet mine he frowns. Then he nods. I sigh in relief and show him to come with me. I avoid to look at Seungmin.

When we arrive at a small corner I stop. His eyes travel between the walls and he seems to feel uncomfortable. I press my back against a wall, making myself small and stepping away from him. Maybe this will show that there's nothing to be scared of.

I speak up: ''I just want to tell you that I'm sorry for everything that happened.'' He frowns and tries to say something but I continue to speak.

''I'm serious. I shouldn't have hit on you on that party and especially not in the cinema. I feel really guilty for making you almost cry. And I want to change and be nicer to you. Maybe you can give me a second chance? As a friend?''

He looks sceptically. His eyes travel between my eyes and the floor. ''You were fine before, weren't you? So why would you change? Just so that we can be friends. Sorry but I'm not buying that.''

I didn't expect that. ''No, I'm serious! I really want to be friends with you because I really like you!'' His head snaps up.

Oh god I shouldn't have said that...

But surprisingly he says: ''Proof it.''

''Everything you want.'', I say, surprised how sincere I sounded.

''Would you like to meet up with me?'', I ask and smile.

''Like a date?'', he asks and gives me a not-so-happy expression.

I'm fast to say: ''No. Whatever you want it to be.''

''Alright. No date.'', he says. I nod, suddenly feeling something weird in my stomach.

''Just text me. You have my number.'' I give him a soft smile.

He smiles back and my breathing comes to a halt. We stand there for a few seconds but then the bell rings and he says bye to me, rushing off to Seungmin.

I stand there and put my hand on my heart. It still pounds like crazy. Only because he smiled...

Then reality hits me. He gave me a chance!

Okay idiot don't mess it up this time.

Hellooo this chapter is pretty nice i'd say. i love this sentence: My heart flutters. it just sound so cute!
