In which his young and tacit heart harboured a collection of their shared moments.
A/N: The storyline is not related t...
Sixteen. None of them knew time would become a luxury, same as their shared tutorial sessions. Their schedules clashed here and there although they joined the same highschool. While Sunhee had projects with the Art club, Mingi started exploring his interest in modelling and fashion. Their mothers finally came to terms with the fact that their children had their own rights to venture into what they wanted.
The world was too big to confine it into just two.
When they each made friends with new peers of their own, Sunhee felt it so apparent. And today wasn't the first time of this week she wanted to approach and showed Mingi her prouded poster that she made on her own for the upcoming event of the Art club. One could tell how much she babied it. However, cowardice just backed her off entirely when she saw him all happy with his friends, literally everywhere: the hallway, the canteen or the school yard.
Like his circle had no spot for her.

That one night where the chilly wind brushed against every inch of human's skin without mercy, Sunhee got home, only to find Mingi already in her room. His uninviting appearance managed to pull a screech out of her as expected.
"Why you break into my room?" Sunhee questioned dramatically, arms folding.
"Your room isn't locked so I didn't break into," he corrected. "One of the maids said you're about home so I just came here to wait."
"Okay. Why you're here at this hour?"
Saying nothing, he mirrored her arm folding gesture and slowly leaving the spot near her desk for where she was standing. Sunhee watched him coming nearer. With Mingi who looked down and she looked up, their eye contact didn't falter as they try to read one another.
My neck hurts. Since when he becomes this ridiculously tall?
He stopped right in front of her. "Turn off the lights."
The way his head dipped so suddenly, bringing every sharp feature on his face to her eyes all at once - Sunhee came to realise their distance became too personal to her liking. As he spoke, she swore her blood pressure ran through her vein in turmoil at the feel of his breath fanned over her cheeks.
But Turn off the lights?
Suddenly, Mingi placed his forearm onto the wall by the side of her head, practically cornering the confused Sunhee who stared at his forward movement. She only started going alerted full mode when he brought his face a tad closer. A smirk rose on his face when he saw her swallowed nervously.
As weird as it appeared, her eyes quickly squeezed shut without objection.
After a moment of silence, a switch sound snapped and she opened her eyes, seeing the boy just switched off one of the lights in her room, leaving the other side of her room in darkness. Her brows furrowed.
"What are you doing?"
"Making it look like a criminal investigation," he sneered, retreating his arm from the switch that was just above her head on the wall then back to his side. "Even my mom doesn't question me that much, Lee."
WHAT THE HELL?
Turning a blind eye to her stupid heart racing just earlier, she pushed him by the shoulder to make way towards the bed before the urge of kicking him became palpable.
"What do you want?"
"Wanna grab a drink?"
That day, if only sixteen year-old Sunhee knew what kind of drink Mingi wanted to grab, she would never ever agree.
