First Love | Minsung

CHAPTER 1

MINHO

My alarm rang. I groaned and turned it off. I sighed and got up. It's the first day of school, I'm in my second year in high school.

I changed into my uniform, ate breakfast, and headed out.

The morning was sunny and warm. Which was nice. There was lots of students walking to school. I got on my bike and rode to school.

My classroom was...2-C. I sighed. "I'm in 2-C."I said to my friends. "Awww, but don't worry, our classrooms are right next to each other!"my friends comforted me. "I guess so,"I said.

The bell rang. God, how much I hate that sound...

I said goodbye to my friends and went to my classroom.

"Alright guys, let's introduce ourselves and then we can start a review of the lesson!"said our young female homeroom teacher, once everyone sat down.

We started to introduce ourselves briefly. A small boy went up. "Hi! I'm Han Jisung...soon to be 17."he said with a smile. "Ok Han, you can sit down now."said the teacher kindly. Han bowed respectfully and went to his seat. As he walked past my desk, we made eye contact. I couldn't help staring at him. He used to be in my classroom in all of middle school, but I hadn't really noticed him. We have talked to each other a few times in those years, but never enough to call each other 'friends'.

"Next is...Lee Minho!"said the teacher. I kept on staring at Han, not noticing that all of the people in the classroom were staring at me. "Lee Minho!"repeated the teacher. "Oh...yes?"

Everyone in the class laughed. "QUIET!"exclaimed the teacher. I got up and introduced myself. "I'm Lee Minho. 17."I said. I bowed to the teacher and went back to my desk.

"Ok, now that we introduced ourselves, let's start the class."

But I ended up staring at Han the whole time.

The class ended.

"Hi, I'm Han!" I looked up to see who was speaking. It was the same boy that I was staring at.

"H-hey,"I said. "Do you remember me? We were in the same class, like, in the whole middle school!"he said. "Oh, yeah,"I replied causally. "Well, I was wondering if maybe we could be friends!"he said. My heart skipped a beat. "Uh, sure."I said, trying my best to sound casual.

What was wrong with me?

"Great! Well...see you around?" I nodded. "See you!"

I left the classroom to see my friends.

I was in the last class. The bell rang, signaling the end of the school day. I quickly put my books in my bag and left the classroom.

I took off the lock on my bike. "Hi,"said a voice behind me. I turned around. "Oh, hi Han!"I said. "I have a bike too! Wanna ride with me?" I nodded.

"Where's your house?"asked Han, getting on his own bike. "Uh...it's over there."I said, pointing to a street. "The apartment building."

"Nice,  I live a flew blocks after there!"

"So...wanna race?"asked Han, cheerfully. "Sure!"

I got on my bike. "1...2...3...GO!" I started riding on '3'. "HEY! That's not fair! Come back!"called Han. I laughed and went back.

This time I drove in 'go'. I won (obviously!). "Well, see you around!"said Han, waving at me. "Bye!"

I watched him as he drive off, admiring his beauty. I realized what I was doing and quickly went inside my apartment.

I've never made a friend this quickly.

JISUNG

I used to like someone in middle school. I barely even knew him, but those few times I talked to him, I felt like I could connect to him. But, I was too shy to make a friendship, and so we rarely talked.

But I made a vow before starting High school, that I would be less shy.

And then I see that person in my second year. When I saw him, I knew I had to be friends with him.

"I'm Lee Minho. 17."

When he said those words, my head bolted up. Surprised to see him after a year. He looked the same, just...older.

I got the courage to talk to him.

I hope I can end up being close friends with him. Maybe even more...

I shook those thoughts out of my head. Its literally the first day of school and my imagination is wandering away. I laughed softly.

"Wanna eat lunch together?"I asked to Minho. He looked up at me. "Of course, if you don't have plans with anyone!"I added. "No, I don't. But...wait for a second here! Ok?" I nodded.

He left the classroom. I couldn't help but spy on him. "Guys, I can't eat lunch with you today."he was saying to some people in the doorway of classroom 2-B. "Oh, ok. Why?"asked one of his friends. "I need to study,"lied Minho. I chuckled slightly. "Really? That's weird of you. But ok, see you later then!"they said. Minho turned to go back to the classroom. I quickly went back in. "Should we go now?"I asked, once he came in.

He nodded and we walked to the cafeteria. We got our lunch and sat down together.

"Hey! They put extra meat in yours!"noticed Minho. I looked at his tray. He was right. He barely had any meat. I smiled at him and put some in his plate. "Eat,"

"Thank y-"

"Oi! Han, why are you eating without us!"exclaimed Chan. "Oh, I'm eating with my friend, Minho."I said, pointing at him.

Chan looked at him. "Oh, hi!"he said. "Hey,"Minho said. "Well, I'll call everyone else to come here."said Chan, looking at me. "Sure,"

"I can leave if you want,"Minho said once Chan left. "No, you should meet them. They're really nice!"I said.

Chan and the others came. I introduced him to them, Hyunjin, Felix, Seungmin, Jeongin, Changbin, and of course, Chan. 

We had a great time talking together. I think Minho liked them, I know that the others welcomed him and enjoyed his presence.
