"why're you crying?"
"it's cold, crying makes me feel warm."
or
Han Jisung is a heartbroken transfer student and Hwang Hyunjin has never fallen in love.
Jisung was tired of all this. Tired of ignoring people. Tired of running away, so he just took a seat, without saying anything.
Minho smiled in relief, atleast Jisung wasn't hating him.
"Are you going to be just silent like this or I should go?" Jisung asked, looking at him, and regretted doing that as Minho's tearful eyes caught his own.
All he could see in those eyes was regret, hope and admiration.
"You look like a fool right now, who the fuck smiles while crying..." Jisung mumbled as he found a reason to break the eye contact and looked to the ground.
"You know... I regret whatever I did to you. I was so mean. But I never hated you, Jisung. I promise. Back then, all I wanted to do was to impress Yuna, but it had a price. I had to lose you. You see, I never had fallen for a guy before. I was taken aback and surprised, but that's not the reason to do whatever I did to you. I didn't even realize how much it affected you after you stopped coming to school. I started feeling so shitty inside. To distract myself, I even started dating Yuna, but it didn't take much time to realise that my feelings for her started to fade away." Minho said this all in a breath.
"....Why? I mean, didn't you do all this just to impress Yuna? And when you started dating her, your feelings went away?" Jisung looked at him, again, but confused.
Minho smiled and blushed as he nod.
"Yeah. I realised that I liked someone else."
"Oh...." Jisung stared at the sky.
Minho looked at him, his eyes, the sparkle, the glisten was gone. Jisung still looked like the prettiest boy to him.
"Do you want to know who I like?" Minho asked as he stared at the sky too.
"No... it's none of my business anyways. I'm glad whatever that has happened, you regret it. It can't be fixed, but atleast now I know you have no wrong intentions towards me. I should go now." Jisung looked back at Minho and smiled as he got up.
Suddenly Minho panicked and said something that made Jisung halt on his tracks.
"Han Jisung! I like you." Minho spoke loud enough for Jisung to hear that made Jisung flinch a little bit.
He turned around, but Minho's eyes widened as he saw clear tears flowing from the boy's cheeks. So all he could do was look at the ground.
"I know I sound absolutely ridiculous right now... but when I realized how much you meant to me, you already left. And till now, I live in regret. You have no idea how happy I was to find that you were in my class, in this school."
"Minho, how am I supposed to return your feelings after whatever happened?" Jisung cried more as he silently yelled it out.
Minho's heart dropped with every little sob he let out. He widened his eyes, looking at him.
"You don't have to return my feelings. I did something terrible, and I deserve whatever I'm feeling right now... Just please let me take care of you, let me protect you, because seeing you like this hurts my heart. I swear I won't even touch you without your consent. I'll be okay with you ignoring me, just don't run away from me, let me be around you." Minho hesitantly muttered, grabbing the corner of Jisung's jacket.
"Minho listen-" Jisung tried to speak as Minho held his palms.
"Jisung, I am one of the reasons why you're like this. Let me make up to you, please. If not for yourself, for me, please let me help you or I'll spend my whole life full of guilt. You can hurt me all you want, please just... let me be by your side." The boy said, looking straight into Jisung's eyes, and Jisung, for once, again saw a Minho that he used to like in the past, but wasn't it too late?
Jisung looked at the boy and spoke, "Let's... let's start over, Lee Minho. Nothing happened between us in the past, okay?"
Little did Jeongin know, Jisung couldn't sleep the whole night. He opened his eyes and smiled at the other boy.
"Good morning! They're calling us for the breakfast. Felix is already there helping others. We should go ahead fast too. Freshen up." Jeongin said softly as he helped Jisung make his bed.
He freshened up as he wore a new set of clothes, taking deep breaths in between so that he calms himself down.
"Good morning guys!" Felix yelled, making everyone look at Jeongin and Jisung and Jisung could swear he mentally cussed Felix for that.
"Good morning." Jisung said as he approached the boy who was now trying to cut the logs of woods, trying to avoid getting hurt.
"I'm trying to do this for so long... but it's kind of hard." Felix smiled sheepishly as he looked at the log of wood.
"Let me do it." Jisung said as he took the axe from Felix.
"Are you sure you'll be okay?" Jeongin asked.
"Trust me, I'm good at this." Jisung smiled as he put the log properly in place.
Felix and Jeongin's mouths stood agape as they saw Jisung effortlessly splitting the logs of wood into two. It was definitely an attractive sight to see, atleast for two other guys, who kept glancing at Jisung ever since he arrived.
"Can't believe you hid those 'awrms' from us for so long?!? I feel betrayed, Sungie?!? Do you workout?" Felix dramatically gasped as he lifted up Jeongin's dropped jaw.
Jisung nodded as he arranged the pieces of wood in a box, with his two friends helping him.
"Do you guys need any help?" They saw a pair of shoes stopping in front of them, just to look up and see a smiling Lee Minho.
"No go away." Jeongin mumbled as Felix tried to stop himself from letting a chuckle out.
"It's fine. I got this. Thanks Minho." Jisung said as he smiled at the boy.
"Han Jisung smiled at me, today's my lucky day." Minho winked at Jisung making him look away.
"Should I make it unlucky for you?" Felix smiled sarcastically, trying to roll the sleeves of his puffer jacket up (ofcourse he wasn't really going to roll it up, it was too cold, and his life was more important than Minho-).
Minho looked at Felix as he glared at him.
"Try me????" Minho provoked him.
Oh hell no, now Felix was really going to roll his sleeves up. But before him saying anything, Jisung came between them, pushing them apart.
"The breakfast table is set. Let's go." He said, dragging both of them, each with an arm.
