42 | KISS ME

I walk up to Minho who sat peacefully on the bench. The sky grew dark by the minute and the sun was barely showing, saying goodbye to the moon that was already big and bright in the sky.

"Boo" I grab his shoulders but he didn't seem fazed as he looks over his shoulder. "You're so boring"

"Did you want me to act scared?" I glare at him "Okay, go again and let's act like this didn't happen"

I sit beside him with a huff "It doesn't work like that, I know it will be fake so I rather not"

Silence filled the space between us and I looked at Minho who looked at me. "What?"

Minho laughs loudly and puts his hands up in defense "Calm down, I was only admiring" He says jokingly. I bite at my bottom lips and his face became serious because I was. "Where were you today?" He finally asks.

I look away "Decided to stay home"

"Funny, I remember asking around and people said you left a few minutes after arriving at school" I look at him and he looks at me intensely. "What happened?"

"It's stupid" I shook my head and sat back on the bench, looking up to the sky.

"Nothing that involves you is stupid"

I look back at him and I can tell he holds back a laugh and snort "That's sappy"

He chuckles and nods "No but really, I'm just an honest person. My mom told me I have a habit of saying stuff before I think and sometimes it's cringe"

"She's right, maybe you should work on that"

He smiles and me and says "Don't change the subject, we're talking about you"

I pout "We always talk about me"

"Fine, you tell me what happened today and I'll tell you whatever you want to know about me"

I smile and nod "Sounds like a deal"

I turn to him fully and he waits for me to continue. I inhale sharply "Kate and Danielle kind of... approached me today"

"Again?" Minho spoke, his voice was high and I could hear the irritation in it. "Don't fucking tell me—"

"They said a lot of things but it's okay"

"It's not okay Jisung" Minho scoots closer to me and puts his hand on my cheeks "I'll talk to her"

I shook my head "No, you'll make it worse"

"Worse than it already is? I don't think that's possible" Minho said and I look down.

"It's not worth it, I don't want you to get into any trouble"

He makes me look at him and I fall into his eyes as he says "I won't let them hurt you again" I furrow my brows "I'll deal with it"

I frown but nod nonetheless "Okay, but don't take it too far"

Minho looks down at my lips and back to my eyes "Never"

"If you want to kiss me, just do it," I said confidently and he chuckles lowly before pulling me in to meet his lips.

Our kiss didn't last long as his phone rang loudly, making me pull away but he connected our lips again. I push him away "Answer your phone"

Minho groans and fully pulls away, getting out his phone "Hello, dad" He looks at me and rolls his eyes. "Yes, I'll be right there," He says before hanging up.

"You have to go?" I ask and Minho nods.

"Yeah" He leans to me again and gives me a small peck "Sorry," he says when he pulls away.

"It's fine" I grab his hand and rub my thumb over it "Before I forget, my parents want to meet you... more officially now"

Minho furrows his brows "What's that supposed to mean?"

I smile nervously and shrug "I may have came out but it wasn't planned I kinda just blurted it out and ran up to my room" He chuckles and it makes me less nervous that he would think this was weird. "Does that change things?"

He gets confused as he says "Change what?"

"Your feelings maybe?" Minho sighed and just looks at me "Don't look at me like that"

"Like what?" He smiled and I felt the butterflies spread in my stomach. "But to answer you, no. It doesn't change anything. If I was to feel something different, I think it would be that I'm proud of you"

I let out a breathy chuckle "Proud of me?"

"Yeah, because, it takes a lot to come out" I frown and Minho's hand goes to my cheek, rubbing his thumb over my cheek gently. "I have to go now"

I nod "Okay, call me later so we can set something up with my parents?"

Minho nods and leans in to kiss my forehead "Of course" and with that, he stands his bad and walks away.

"Fuck, I didn't get to ask him questions" I mumble with a pout as I watch him get further and further away.
