Part 13

Jisung picked up his bag after dance class and just as he was about to leave a boy named Mike from his class called out to him "Hey Jisung! We are going to the mall after school today, you wanna come?" "You... are asking me to go with you? Y'all never invite me to hang with you all..." Jisung said suspiciously. "Yeah... sorry about that. I guess we were just kind of intimidated to talk to you before." Mike said. "What changed?" Jisung asked. "Minho's your roommate right? He was telling us that you are actually pretty fun to hang around so we figured we should stop being jerks and invite you to come along with us." Mike said. "Minho said that?" Jisung asked. Mike replied "Yeah, he's coming too, we are just gonna shop around and eat at the food court. I know it sounds kind of lame so if you don't want to go I understa..." "No! I want to go!" Jisung said eagerly cutting Mike off. Mike chuckled and said "Ok cool, let's meet here and walk together after our last class." Jisung was the first person waiting outside of the dance room and began to feel anxious. He started to worry that Mike inviting him was all an elaborate prank and he was going to end up looking like a fool standing there by himself, stood up. Jisung looked at the time on his phone and was about to leave when he saw Mike and Minho coming around the corner with another guy and girl from their dance class and Jordan Stewart. "Did we keep you waiting long Prince?" Jordan said as they walked up. Jisung's face lit up at the sight of them. 'They really came. They really want me to go with them.' Jisung thought happily. Minho smiled softly when he saw the bright expression on Jisung's face. They began walking to the mall together and Minho walked beside Jisung. "I'm honestly surprised that you agreed to come. Especially knowing I was coming too." Minho said. Jisung didn't care, he was just so happy to be included. He was accustomed to having fans that put him on a pedestal. But what people don't think about is now lonely it is up there on that pedestal. People put him high up and away from them thinking he is too good to want to hang with the "peasants". Jisung's need to be adored and his desire to act like a regular teenager were always at war within him. Jisung didn't respond to Minhos comment and instead just laughed excitedly. Minho raised an eyebrow at Jisung's bizarre behavior and asked "You do know that we are just going to the mall right?" Jisung smiled and nodded at Minho with bright eyes. Minho's heart fluttered looking at Jisung, he had never seen him like that before and it was turning his stomach into knots. "Ok I get it. You're excited to escape the kingdom for a night, now go back to glaring at me, you are freaking me out." Minho said turning away from Jisung as he blushed.

When they arrived the other two dance class students had to go do something but would meet up with them later. "What do y'all want to do?" Mike asked. "Ooh y'all should let me style you!! Life size dress up of cute boys!" Jordan said excitedly. "Yeah, no thanks, I don't need any help in that department." Jisung said jokingly posing like a model to show off his fit. Mike, Minho and Jordan all laughed and Jisung smiled at the successful joke. "You do have pretty good style but everyone could use a feminine touch." Jordan said. "Oh geez you aren't going to put us in a skirt are you?" Mike said sticking his tongue out in disgust. "I didn't mean I would make you look feminine dumbass." Jordan said laughing as she lightly smacked Mike's forehead. "Why? Are you scared of how good I would look? I mean just look at these legs, they were meant for a skirt." Minho joked as he hiked his shorts up a little to reveal more of his thigh. Jisung's eyes went straight to Minho's thighs and he felt his face begin to get hot. "For real! Thick thighs save lives, ow ow ow!" Mike said laughing as he howled like a wolf. "Speaking of fashion, why on earth are you wearing shorts in the fall?" Jordan asked Minho. "My legs get hot." Minho said shrugging his shoulders. Jordan rolled her eyes and said "Ok here's the deal, I will literally buy you all dinner if I can pick out an outfit for each of you!" "Ok I'm down, but what's the catch? Are you putting us in lingerie or something?" Mike asked. "So all it takes is dinner to get you in some lingerie?" Minho asked raising his eyebrows. "Wouldn't you like to know." Mike said winking back before laughing. Jisung observed Minho and Mike's playful flirting and thought 'I guess he was telling the truth about just joking around, it seems he acts that way with everyone." Although the realization of Minho not actually being into him was supposed to be a relief, Jisung found himself feeling slightly disappointed. 'Why am I being so weird about this? It's not like I WANT him to like me...right?' Jisung asked himself since even he wasn't quite sure. Minho had a way of confusing Jisung that he couldn't really explain. Like the way no matter how hard Jisung tried to hate Minho as his competition, he kept being drawn to him even more. This scared Jisung more than anything because if even he couldn't resist Minhos charms, how did he expect anyone else to.
