Maybe This Time // Minsung

16. Best Friends Now Or Something 🍃

Minho finished up checking my cuts and then we made our leave. I was kinda out of it since I found out the guy that I questioned my sexuality over three years ago was standing right beside me once again.

That night I deemed I probably wouldn't ever see him again despite the fact he wanted to. He never got my number to do that.

I walked quietly beside him as we made our way back to the hall. Minho was talking to his teacher. I heard parts of their conversation but for the most part I gathered that his school were going back.

"Is it because of us?" I asked his teacher. The man looked at me with not much care. "No" He replied. "It's just the time to leave" He added.

Minho nudged me "Don't want me to go now?" He asked with a laugh. I gave him a glare "I couldn't care less" I replied. He let out a soft laugh through his nose. "I bet that's not going to last long"

"Bet" I replied as we entered the hall. All eyes looked at us. Most were on me as I had forming bruises and patched up cuts all over my face.

Minho had one big bruise on his cheek too. Some girls ran over to him, one even managed to hold his face. "Minho! Are you okay?" She asked as the other six did.

"Yeah I'm fine, I'm fine" He shoved her off. Said girl looked over at me with such a furious glare. "I can't believe you did that to my boyfriend!"

My eyes widened. Boyfriend? Minho was... Straight? I'm sorry but for a guy who opening loves musicals and told a guy his jacket looks good on him. Especially one he gave me three years ago... Something ain't sitting right.

"Eunji, I'm not your boyfriend" I saw how pissed off he looked. I chuckled before looking at her "Seems like he likes me more than you" This girl, Eunji looked at me with the most hated look I've ever received.

"Watch yourself!" She spat before storming off.

"Woah~" I turned around and saw my three best friends with the other three guys from before. Hyunjin clapped his hands. "Never thought I'd see the day Han Jisung would piss off a girl" He laughed.

I shrugged before looking at Minho. "Clearly she annoys you" I commented. Minho hummed before standing closer beside me "Too many times a day" He sighed.

"That must really suck" Jeongin replied. Minho gave him a look of judgement. I saw in his eyes the same hate he had before.

"I suppose" He mumbled. "Min, we gotta go" One of the other three guys I didn't know said. His hair looked curly.

"Mm, I know. Mr. Soo was telling me" Another guy threw his arm around his shoulder while looking at me. He had a really buff body for someone our age.

"How's it feel being beaten by a Criesonian?" He chuckled. "Changbin..." Minho mumbled and shoved him off.

I looked at this Changbin guy. "It's fine" I replied with a smile. He laughed "Really?" he asked not believing me.

I stood in closer to him. I was right in front of Minho. "May have been a lose for me but I have had many wins"

Minho patted my shoulder "I'm sure you have Ji" he moved me away.

"Ji?" Hyunjin furrowed his brows. "What are you? Best friends now or something?" he asked. I usually only let my friends call me Ji, anyone closer than usual.

But for some reason I didn't question it with Minho. He didn't even seem to realise he gave me a nickname.

"Oh" he let out. "Am I not allowed to call you-"

"It's fine" I sighed. "Are these your friends?" I asked looking at the Changbin guy and the other two. Minho nodded.

"Changbin, Felix and Chan" he pointed them out.

Seungmin gasped "No way! We were all partnered up with each others friends" He chuckled. "I'm partners with Changbin" He said.

A wave of surprise washed over. And also clarity as now I knew why my friends were standing with random guys.

"Mine is Chan" Jeongin laughed. Hyunjin shrugged "Felix is my partner" He said not as brightly.

Felix didn't seem too phased either. "Your name is cool" I said to him. It wasn't often you had an English name in a school.

He gave me a look. "Did I ask?" he replied rudely. That seemed to burst Hyunjin's bubble... Again.

"See! This is what he's been saying to me every time I make conversation!!!" He sounded so frustrated I had to laugh.

Minho and I looked at each other briefly. "Is this the same guy who told me he'd have the VA after me?" He asked me.

I sadly nodded "He doesn't know how to control his mouth sometimes" I sighed. Hyunjin slapped my arm "Oi!" he scoffed "I'll have you know that-"

I cut him off. "This is Hyunjin, Jeongin and Seungmin" I pointed them out. Minho hummed. "Nice to meet you" He more directed that at Seungmin and Jeongin.

"Ha, are we actually being civil?" I asked. Minho hummed "Seems that way"

"Okay we have to go" Chan spoke. "Nice to meet you Jisung" He smiled. He actually didn't look at me with hidden hatred behind his eyes.

"Oh um, you too" I nodded before the four began to leave.

"I'll see you again" Minho looked at me. I nodded but then briefly remembered what I never did the last time.

"Wait!" I shived my hand into my pocket and took out a pen. I pulled Minho's hand and jotted down my number.

"So you can actually see me again this time" I laughed. Minho looked at me then his hand then back at me with a soft smile.

"I'll call you later yeah?" He asked. I let myself nod even though I wasn't expecting him to call so quickly.

Then I realised, what the fuck was I doing?

Felix came back over and yanked his arm. "Come on hyung!" He rolled his eyes. "Bye Jisung" he mumbled not a care in his tone.

Minho waved bye to me before leaving the hall.

"Did you...." I turned back to see Seungmin looking at me confused while Jeongin and Hyunjin looked at me shocked.

"Did you just give him your number?" He asked. Hyunjin practically screamed and fell to the floor. "He's changing" he cried.

Jeongin went to help Hyunjin up. I shrugged as I replied to Seungmin.

"Why not?" I said. "We're going to have to stay partners anyway"

"Really?" He asked. "But even so, you two seem to be getting along better than... Fourty minutes ago"

I shrugged "Maybe our talk helped us realise things"

Seungmin hummed but I knew he didn't believe me. "Your a lost cause Jisung"
