The next day, after the school ends, on lunch time, there sat four students at their usual table. Usually, there's six of them but today the two members are nowhere to be seen sitting there.
" Changbin, why Minho don't sit with us today?" Jisung ask the guy in front of him.
Changbin answer. " He said he have somewhere to."
Jisung let out a disappoint sigh. " I'm missing Chan and now my favorite person is not here. Suddenly, I lost my appetite to eat."
Felix poke the meat on Jisung's plate with his fork. " I guess I'm getting the free foods then."
" Hey, retreat!" Jisung move his plate, far from the guy sitting next to him. " I still need to eat though. I have dancing practice after this so I will need more energy to survive."
" Serves you right. Say that again and I will eat all you foods for real." Felix threats.
" Okay, fine! I won't. Now, put down your fork."
After Jisung make sure the line is clear, he pull back his plate to the front. " Gosh, you're really a cat. A bad cat." Jisung sided eyeing Felix. " Anyway, Seungmin... You're too quiet today. Did something happen?"
Seungmin look up from his food. His friend are already looking at him, include Changbin who's suddenly interested by the mention of the name.
" Yeah, since class started this morning, you haven't say a word. We are truly concerned. Are you sick?" Felix genuinely asks.
Seungmin reassure them with a smile. " No, nothing. I've just not in mood today."
" Are you sure?"
" Yeah, trust me."
After that, a purple haired guy approach their table. " Hey, my friend over there send you this letter. He hand a letter to Seungmin.
When Jisung seize the letter from the purple haired guy, Seungmin trembles as he realizes who's the voice belong to.
" You look cute when you're scared." Jisung read out loud. " Wow, Seungmin, look at this. You've got a secret admirer. Pardon me. Which guy are you referring to, once again?"
The purple haired point at a table. " That guy."
Jisung and the others turn to the end of his index finger and catch a green haired guy is smiling at them. However, the last few words he whisper only heard by Seungmin. " The bruised one."
Seungmin's shaking eyes shift to the other guy sitting next to the green haired guy. Sweat of worry drop down through his forehead.
•••
" Hahaha!!! Did you see how fragile he look when his eyes shift to Black? Pathetic, right?" Purple laugh.
" Not gonna lie, he look like a lamb sent to a slaughter house."
" Omg, you're so accurate. Very true. Wait, wait, wait, did you also saw his face when I give him the letter? He's fucking panicking."
They both laugh. " I am wondering when Black going to drag him again. I can't wait to use my punch on him."
" Only punching bag? I am thinking of something else though. Something exciting." Purple grin. It doesn't take long for Green to realize the hidden meaning behind it. He chuckle.
" Don't tell me you're fucking in love with that boy. Your taste in love is so low."
"Silly. Of course not. I'm just thinking his voice sounds really girly. Soft and sweet. I wonder how does it feel when he moans for me. Must be great."
"I can help you to make it happen." Green laugh. Purple reply with a grin.
They arrive at the door. When purple grab the door knob, it twist by itself. He drop his smile. " Someone is here."
The door opens and appear a black haired guy look at them with a lift of a brow. "Oh, are you the workers here? Good. I want to ask you something very quick. Yesterday, around 5PM, did someone named Kim Seungmin went here?"
Purple raise his eyebrows. He stare at the guy suspiciously. " Freaking no." Then, he walk inside of the room.
" Wait. I'm pretty sure he did. If you check the record for me, I would really appreciate it."
After Green enter too, he take a look at the guy once before he close the door without answering him.
" Hey!" Says Minho. He's pissed off by their awful service. When he open the door again, it is already close. " Fuck off."
He kick the door hard. Then, he walk away. Two students are looking at him in disbelief when they saw him. Minho notice it so he stare back at them and cuss, " Your mom is green."
Minho get back to his class and take his bag. No one is still there so it's only him taking his bag alone. He walk though the exit door and goes into one place. Because he didn't not gain anything by going to the infimary, so he have to check the other place.
Arriving there, he walk into the half burned cooperative and travel his eyes around.
His pupils get bigger when he spot someone does there, standing backfacing him. Minho click his tongue and scoff. " Collecting for your forgotten material evidence, freak?"
Hearing that voice, Seungmin flinch in spot. He quickly turn his body to Minho with gritted teeth.
Without breaking the eye contact, Minho walk towards Seungmin. " I know my instinct is not wrong after all. You does up to something, don't you?"
Minho's words as if piercing to Seungmin's heart. He is trying not to lose to Minho's sharp gaze and bravely return the sharp look although his eyes are already shaking.
There is a long silence after that until Minho open his mouth. " Do you want to know something?"
" I like you."
Seungmin blink a multiple time in disbelief. As the level of tension is rising up, he break the eye contact.
" But, what you just did to my friend is unforgivable and a way too much to consider as a revenge. All I done to you is just teasing, and never did I interfere your friends into our arguments. Your revenge was beyond my imagination and after what you have said to me yesterday, I..."
" I kinda lost feeling for you."
" I just want you to know that after this our rivalry will still continue but in another version of my heart. I will take the word 'rivalry' seriously just like your perception of it."
" Kim Seungmin."
Minho gulps.
" I hate you."
