asymptotic lines.

four.

friday.  it was supposed to be a leisure day since it's the last day of school days. but the weather ain't cooperating.

❝rain, rain go away. come again another day❞ he started singing , as i watch every raindrops as they fell onto the ground.

❝when will minhee be here? i'm getting bored❞ he sighed, watching every students as they leave the hallway one by one.

❝see you later! practice by 6pm okay?❞ hyeongjun heard a voice from a distant, he turns his head.

he's here. he thought, as panic slowly creep up its way to his system.

no way that he's here.

❝hyeongjun, right?❞ the guy softly tapped him on his shoulder, flashing him a sweet smile.

‘this must be heaven. he must be an angel’ thoughts are now flooding his mind, unable to convert them into words. all he did was nod.  that's what he's good at.

❝minhee's on his way here, he just had a small talk with our coach❞ added the guy,

❝by the way, i would like to say my name ‘cause it might be unfair for you that i know yours and you have no idea about mine.❞ the taller chuckles.

❝ah yeah, right❞  he's hoping that he didn't come out obviously awkward.

extending his hand out, the taller spoke, ❝nice to meet you, i am ju–❞

❝goo jungmo❞ hyeongjun interrupted, almost in abrupt manner.

❝oh–❞ the taller was quite taken aback, releasing a soft laugh. ❝guess you knew me already huh❞

❝yes– i mean not much, but kind of ... yeah- a bit, cause minhee... uh–❞ he replied, having an internal dilemma.

❝hey, it's okay. not to brag but it's no big deal if you already know me by my name.❞ the older gently interrupted the younger, projecting him his usual gentle smile.

❝uh, thanks❞ hyeongjun replied shortly, eyes now focus on his shoes as if it's the most interesting object ever existed.

what can he do? he never expected to bump to him of all the people.

❝so... are you going home?❞ jungmo asked, trying to keep the conversation going.

❝d-depends if minhee's done and-❞ hyeongjun keeps stuttering.

‘why am you stuttering so much? look, this is not you, song hyeongjun’ hyeongjun internally scolded himself, he was about to resume his words when he hear the latter chuckles.

❝you're really a shy type as they said❞

❝huh? what?❞ hyeongjun now had his head tilted in confusion.

❝nevermind, but well guess what❞ jungmo replied,

❝minhee's out already❞ he added, gesturing hyeongjun to look behind him.

❝hey, hyeongjun! how long have you been here?❞ the newly arrived minhee, asked.

❝few minutes ago, not that long❞ hyeongjun answered, now facing minhee.

❝oh– so you already met jungmo❞ minhee stated, subtly sending hyeongjun a teasing smile.

❝yes, he's so much like those description. so if you excuse me. i would leave first❞ jungmo smile as he politely excuses himself, waving both minhee and hyeongjun a goodbye.

now that, it's only the two of them. hyeongjun slightly slapped minhee on his arm.

❝ouch! what was that for?❞ minhee asked, rubbing the spot where hyeongjun slapped him.

❝stop teasing me, i don't like him❞ hyeongjun pouted.

❝i didn't say anything about you liking him though❞ minhee replied, playing it off with a sly smirk painted on his face.

❝...❞

❝the rain almost got my papers wet, geez.❞ complained minhee as soon as they got inside their shared condo.

❝where did you put them?❞ asked hyeongjun,

❝paper bag❞ minhee smiled sheepishly to which hyeongjun playfully rolled his eyes at him.

❝your fault, not the rain❞ the younger then made his way inside his room to change his half-soaked uniform.

❝it's been raining heavily since this morning, i wonder when will it stop❞ minhee once again spoke, eyes now looking at the glass window, holding a glass of water with his right hand.

❝what do you want?❞ asked the younger, rummaging through their fridge.

❝you.❞ replied the taller.

❝you want me?❞ hyeongjun casually replied, as both his eyes and hands were still busy looking through the fridge.

minhee almost choke on his drink— flustered— but manage to maintain his composure.

❝why would i want you?❞ he asked back, hyeongjun turns around to face him– looking all confused.

❝since when did this conversation becomes about me?❞ he asked, obviously lost.

❝huh?❞ now it's minhee's turn to be lost.

❝maybe we got lost in translation❞ hyeongjun replied, referencing taylor swift's ‘all too well’

❝wow, i can't really comprehend you and your song references❞ minhee responded, expressing his full disbelief.

hyeongjun laughs. like he always does when he's with minhee.
