"Why are you glaring at me like this? What did I do?" I asked the boy who's been looking at me for God knows how long.
"It's suspicious," he muttered. "What?" I asked him again. "Why did you say you can't hang out with me yesterday? We didn't even have any homework" Minho pointed out.
"I was just tired." I lied through my teeth. He frowned.
"Sounds like a lie to me" I can't fool him, can I? "Go back to your seat." I told him,turning my attention to my notebook.
"Are you tired today too?" Minho asked. "Uh-huh. No"
"Then how about we go to the arcade. With Felix" he proposed. I hummed. "Okay"
"Um.. Can you move a little?" Hoon,my desk mate said with hesitation. "Can't you see I'm talking?" Minho mumbled. But Hoon couldn’t hear it.
Minho got up from the seat. He rolled his eyes before walking away.
Hoon sat down on his seat with a thud. "I think he hates me," he hissed.
"Why would he?"
"No idea. He just looks at me with scary eyes sometimes. That gives me chills every time" he said, shivering.
"Don't worry. He even glares at me as if he'd kill me. But he's nice"
—
On free period, Minho came with his books and notebook. "Why are you giving me these?" I asked him.
"Can you move a little?" Minho asked Hoon with a dirty smile. "Ah yeah sure" Hoon scooted his chair to the other side,giving Minho space.
Minho looked at him,to be specific he glared at Hoon as if he's looking right into Hoon's soul.
"Uh,you can sit here," Hoon said,getting up from his chair.
"Thanks"
Hoon smiled awkwardly, "You can sit on my seat for a while," Minho said,showing his seat to Hoon.
"Why are you scaring him?" I asked. "I'm not"
"Solve this and this for me" he said,showing me some function's question.
"Chan is literally your desk mate. Can't you ask him instead?"
"He is too genius. I don’t even understand what he says." he explained.
"But didn't we solve the questions yesterday? You didn’t write down the answer yesterday?" I asked.
"Yeah- I didn’t understand."
"Oh."
~~
The school was dismissed. Minho said he'd be waiting in front of the gate with Felix.
After visiting my locker I walked to the front gate of our school.
"y/n!" I looked behind me,Hoon ran towards me. "What is it?" I asked. "You aren’t going with us today?" he asked.
It's been two weeks since he introduced me to a study group which had two seniors and three from my grade including Hoon.
"I have something else to do today. I'm sorry" I said. I already refused Minho several times to hang out,if I do the same today I'll be dead.
"It's okay. We'll catch up tomorrow about today's session"
I nodded.
"Are you gonna chit-chat with him the whole day?" Minho breathed on my shoulder.
I flinched. "Oh God! You scared me."
"I'll leave you here with him then. Have fun" Minho said with a mocking tone.
"No no I'm coming"
He already started walking faster than usual, Felix trying to catch up along with me.
"Why are you moping?" Felix asked from behind. "I'm not," Minho protested.
"Can we have ice cream before we go to the arcade?" Felix asked. Without waiting for a response he made his way to the ice cream parlor.
"Did I say yes? Why are you going there?" Minho shouted.
"Calm down. Let's go and get your mint choco"
~~
Felix definitely wanted to eat ice cream so that it would make Minho's mood better. But that took a u turn.
We were sitting on the outside's table. Felix didn’t want to go to the arcade anymore. So we decided to study for a while.
But we didn’t expect Hoon to come here with his group.
"Oh! y/n" I looked at the girl who called my name. I waved at her awkwardly.
"What are you doing here? Hoon said you won't join us today"
"Why would she join you guys? Do you even know them y/n?" Minho asked, eyeing everyone who came a few seconds ago
"Yeah she-"
"Why wouldn’t she know us? She was with us yesterday, right y/n?" the girl said. I mentally face palms. Why did she open her mouth again?
"But she-" Minho stopped midway. "Nice to meet you everyone" Minho said, getting up from his chair,bowed a little.
Felix did the same. And I knew they would leave right away. I stood up too,putting my books inside my bag.
"Have a nice..um..day?" Minho said,already walking away.
Felix smiled at them before following Minho. "I'm sorry, I can't join today." I said before running after Minho and Felix.
"Wait for me, will you?" I shouted. "Why are you so slow?" Minho's irritated voice said.
I crossed my eyes.
"So you weren't tired today, you just wanted to hang out with your new friends. Perhaps with Hoon?" Minho let out.
"Eh? We were studying. The girl who talked earlier is a senior. She's a topper. She-"
"This is my cue to leave,your majesty" Felix gave the most innocent smile and patted my shoulder.
"Have fun dealing with demons," he whispered.
"Bye,Minho" Felix just walked away like this.
"Let's talk tomorrow," Minho said. "Uh- okay"
~~
Next day - at school
Minho said he'd talk but he didn't bat a glance at me.
"Hoon, our homeroom teacher is calling you," the class president said. Hoon looked at me. "Do you think I'm in trouble?" he asked. I shrugged. "Could be."
He took a deep breath before leaving the classroom. Five minutes later he came back. He looked relaxed.
"What did he say?" I asked out of curiosity. "He said to change my seat"
"Why?" I asked. "I don’t know.I'm confused"
Hoon arranged his things. He took his things and placed them on Minho's desk. Minho got up from his seat with his belongings.
"Why are you here?" I asked Min when he sat on Hoon's previous seat. "Hoon said our seats were exchanged"
"Why? You don't know why?" I asked. He shook his head. "How can I know? Why don't you ask him?" He looked at Hoon.
"He doesn't know"
"I don't know either"
"Did you fight with your desk mate?" I asked. "Do you want to eat brownies? Felix is coming over to my place to bake." Minho said instead.
