First Love | Minsung

-CHAPTER 4-

MINHO

Me and Jisung arrived at school. We parked our bikes and went in. 

"'Morning guys!" said Chan as we went inside the classroom. "Good morning," we said back. "Next class is English," said Jisung. "So?" I asked. "So can I sit next to you? Y'know how the English teacher never notices when we change seats," said Jisung. I smiled mischievously. "Let's ask my seat partner if we can change," said Han, going to his seat. 

I sat down in my own seat and waited for him to come back.

A few moments later,  Jisung grabbed my arm and practically dragged me to his desk. I brought my stuff with me and sat down next to him. 

Soon, the teacher came in. But instead of listening to the class, Han started to write me messages via his notebook. He drew a funny caricature of me. I glared at him teasingly and punched his arm. He laughed out loud. "WHY ARE YOU SITTING THERE MINHO!?" asked the teacher, realizing the change. 

Han put his hand to his mouth, realizing he was being too loud. 

I gave him a sad face and went to my desk, taking my stuff with me. 

"Anyways....like I was saying," started the teacher, glaring at me and Han. "I will be giving out the test results of the English test we had last week." she continued. Since Chan is the class president, he passed the tests. As he passed mine he whispered in my ear; "Let's study together tomorrow after school." 

I gave him a thumbs up and he smiled at me.

"Lemme take you to someplace!" I said to Han, while we were getting on our bikes. "Not that cat place right?" asked Han with a fake scared face. "No, someplace even better!" I said, laughing. "Ok, I'll follow you." agreed Han. I nodded and we hopped on our bikes.

After a few minutes, we arrived at the 'special place'.

I grabbed Han's arm and we walked into the building. It was a...library. Han punched me. "You got me so excited for no reason!" he said. I smiled innocently. "What else did you think I was gonna take you?" I asked. Han sighed. "Why are we even here anyways?" asked Han. "We need to get books, cuz I'm going to study with Chan and the others tomorrow...English." I said. "Why me though?" asked Han. "Because you're going to study with me...DUH! Besides, you need it even more than I do. I took a look at your English test." I admitted. "Ugh, fine..." Han groaned.

I patted him on the back. "Good. We should get some ice cream on the way back." Han nodded his head eagerly. 

We chose our books and went for ice cream. Afterwards, we went to our own houses.

JISUNG

We arrived at the library. "We're twenty minutes early," Minho said, looking at his phone. "You're right," I said. "Let's just start without them," said Minho. "Ok," I agreed.

We went into the library and got a table at the back. We spread our books and got started. "So instead of...." said Minho, pointing at a sentence with his pencil. But all I could look at was Minho. He looked so beautiful. His focus was on the notebook, but he noticed me looking at something other than the notebook. "Why are you staring at me?" he asked, laughing slightly. His focus shifted back to the book. But again, I looked at him. "What are you doing??" asked Minho. 

My eyes went from his to his lips. They looked soft. Suddenly, I had this strong urge to kiss him. 

I leaned towards him. I realized what I was doing when it was already too late, and our lips were an inch apart. But for some reason, Minho wasn't doing anything, not pulling away, just sitting there. His eyes were cold. Could it be that...he also has feelings for me?

Our lips almost touched...until we heard Chan's voice. "We're here guys!!" Me and Minho jumped apart, too embarrassed to look at each other. 

The rest of the study session continued with us not even glancing at each other. 

"Ok, I think that's enough for today, I'm beat!" said Felix. He turned to Hyunjin. "Should we go eat something now, Jinnie?" he asked, grabbing his arm. Hyunjin nodded and they left after saying their byes. Everyone else left, leaving me and Minho at the table. I quickly put my stuff in my bag, and he did the same. 

"Should we ride home together?" I asked, too embarrassed to look into his eyes. "S-sure," he replied. We walked outside without a word. I wanted to ask him if he liked me, but I was too shy. 

We rode our bikes in silence. Maybe tomorrow I'll ask.
