Flirting game(Minsung)

Deal?

You are given many nicknames throughout your life,from your birth to your death.

"Honey,Baby,Sweetheart,Brat,Dissapointment" but the ones that hurt the most are probably the ones that everyone knows about. Of course it's not a problem when you're known as the "hot guy" or the "nice guy", but when everyone calls you the gay one it starts hurting.Not because you're ashamed of being gay, quite the contrary you're proud but people do not know my name. My sexuality is the one thing that describes me. But thats just the kids when i'm out of this high school everything is going to be better.Well not really, my parents absolutely hate me and I lost my childhood best friend. So even after high school my life will be hell, but hey at least I don't eat lunch in the bathroom stalls.

"Jisung!" I hear from behind, not a lot of people call me so it's quite easy to tell who it is even if i couldn't recognise the voice. Felix was the only person in this school who I can actually hang out with currently. A few months passed from the incident but somehow no one forgot. It gets a little funny after a while,you feel important when the story of how your best friend outed you is told to all the freshmen. "Look Jisung, I have something to tell you...." I'm intrigued, Felix looks nervous to tell me this piece of information which isn't like him at all..."Spit it out.." i say sounding a bit annoyed, I have quite a few ideas on what it could be but they always connect to the same thing RUMOR.

"So yeah,you know our senior Lee Minho?" This was a stupid question,one because everyone knows Lee Minho and two because we went to church togheter when we were little and I kinda had a crush on him back then. "Yeah,so someone leaked a video of you saying how much you like him in middle school." Felix turned away his gaze as if he expected me to freak out. Which I must say I did but internally. There were rumors I liked many guys the last couple of months but this shit can get to my mom.She hasn't told any of her church friends about my sexuality so if this gets to Minho's mother I'm screwed. And also he is a jerk. I remember when we were little he would always make fun of my height even though now that we're in high school he's barely taller than me. I found it hot tho,I simp for assholes.

"And..",Felix continued, ....this day couldn't get any worse, "He wants to talk to you after school..." Oh god, oh no....Jesus if you exist help me out please. I know that his cocky ass is going to record it so his friends can laugh at it later, or worse he's going to be so sure I like him he won't let me speak and just brutally reject me in front of a lot of people. I should just get used to being humiliated at this point. I sighed deeply. "Come on, it's not that bad! How about you just tell him it's an old video?" As much as this would be the mature way to approach this I know that Lee Minho is a devil turned human who is going to make my life hell from that one little video. The bell rang,this was my last class which means i'll have to face Minho in less than 45 minutes.I'm fucked.

Going to class I bumped into Hyunjin,it's really my day isn't it? Unlike Minho he is significally taller than me so giving him a side eye was practically imposibble,so I ended up looking at him with judgy doe eyes. I haven't forgiven him for that incident,he outed me.That was the biggest betrayal I have ever felt. "Han,can we talk after school?" I rolled my eyes at his question,he was the only person who ever called me by my surname,but I don't like it now. "It's Jisung, and sorry I have plans" just like that I went into my classroom dramatically bumping him on the way as if he wasn't going to get into the same classroom in 2 seconds.

The class was boring,as expected of course I mean when was democracy ever fun? Sadly that meant i couldn't focus on the class and only focused on what is going to happen after this. I hate my life.I checked the time and I had 3 minutes left.I can run, but that would just give him more suspicions. I could say I didn't know he wanted to meet me? But we would have the talk later anyway.It's as if I was in a death trap.Going back to the dorms immediately wasn't an option either,because we're in the same building he would come eventually.This shit is hell.

I counted the seconds until the bell rang
1..2..3.....36....37...38..............67..68..69.. and the bell rang, damn that's a weird number of seconds.I took my sweet time packing, I didn't want to go out.I mean I would have to eventually and by doing this i'm just making myself easier to track down in the crowd.Felix waited for me probably knowing why I'm taking so long putting my jacket on.Sadly I kinda ran out of stuff to pack so I just nodded at Felix as a sign to get moving, maybe I should've ran?

Going out of the school building I saw Minho standing alone waiting for me. It was quite chilly but he didn't have a jacket on,don't know why, maybe to seduce some girls or something? I'm not sure when Felix left my side but he was gone faster than the wind. I'm going to find that dude and kill him."Shall we?" Minho said while pointing to the back of the building, I just hope I don't see any kids getting getting freaky back there.

When Minho confirmed there was no one around him he started talking, but I didn't listen to him, I knew what he was going to say so I startled him by asking "Can I go first!?" that was a little loud judging from his reaction,but he just nodded. I couldn't see very well because it was pretty dark but it almost felt like he was getting nervous. I'm not sure why that would be the case but I might even be hallucinating. "Look Minho, I don't like you,that was an old video from 6th grade... I hope you're a decent human being and you forget about it!" Minho looked confused, I'm not sure anything that I said could be labeled as confusing.But I am pretty proud of my little speech right there.

"So you don't like me?" Minho asked and I nodded,he still sounded and looked confused. I mean his 2 brain cells probably expected a different answers because "everyone" is in love with him. I tried escaping the situation right there and then but he grabbed my wrist. "You don't have to say you don't like me,I won't make fun of you.." this cocky bastard, he thinks he's so special. Hi I'm Lee Minho and everyone is in love with me. I scoffed "You think everyone is in love with you huh? Oh come on I mean the chances of me being in love with you are lower than me murdering 3 women right after this meeting.The way you're not even letting go of my hand is actually saying that you might be in love with me!" He immediately let go of my hand and I regretted saying every word in that sentence, I could have left this conversation peacefully no but my bitchass self decided it's a better idea to start a fight. "I'm not!.....Just admit it!"

He is litteraly getting on my nerves right now, how arrogant do you have to be to think that everybody is in love with you."I would never like you! Even if you flirted with me I wouldn't like you,even if you were my ideal type I wouldn't like-"Minho interrupted me, I love it when men don't let me finish my sentences. "I'm pretty sure my flirting skills would get you on your knees in 2 days." This dude is getting me riled up right now. "Oh come on,if anyone would be getting on their knees it would be you" he looked at me with mischief in his eyes. It made me feel something weird.I wasn't scared but it was similar.Anticipation but bad.

"Alright then, wanna bet?" My worst trait is that i'm painfully curious.I could have just said no but what does he mean. Bet on what!?
"Sure." I said with caution in my voice and Minho smiled.He looked like a very hot serial killer."Okay, whoever falls for the other first loses?"
I nodded,it seemed easy enough "What are we betting on?" Minho chuckled "Dignity I guess? I mean one of us will fall for the other who wants nothing to do with the other?" That was a good point he made there, if I fall for Minho,he will just break my heart.But it's fine because that won't happen. "Wait but how do we know if the other is in love?By your rules we could keep the game running forever?" I have always loved finding loopholes. Kids hated me whenever I would play monopoly or hide and seek. "While the game is running,we can't kiss.That will show to us that the other is in love."

"Deal"
