Can't Win

Competition

Kim Yi Cheol's POV:

I walked to school and entered my class. During math, Minho was normal. He talked to me and I did my best to not blush or beat my heart fast. Next it was a student council class.

"Okay, so students. We need to select a student council. Two of them actually. One will be head and the other will be vice", said the teacher. "Who will run against each other?"

After a little encouragement from Minho and some blushing, I raised my hand. And so did Kim Minju. This will be hard. Everyone likes her. She always beats me at everything. The voting began.

"Now, we will see who got the most votes", said the teacher, as she counted. "Kim Minju is our head and Kim Yi Cheol is our vice".

Everyone clapped. I smiled. Even though I was disappointed, it was alright because Minju can handle all of this. I looked to see where Minho was. I guess he was part of the group that was cheering on Minju.

"Congratulations", said a voice. I looked up and saw it was Jisoo, another one of my friends, more like my sister.

"Thanks Jisoo noona", I said.

"Why are you down? Let me guess is it because Minho isn't giving you any attention. You're just jealous", she told me.

"Is that how you ended up with BTS Jin?", I asked her.

"Now, we don't talk about that in public", she told me, as she put a finger on my mouth. "Anyway, I have to go. I have duties".

"Bye", I said, as she left. I looked and saw Minho giving Minju a high five.

I walked outside. The wind was crisp. I slowly made my way to the balcony and sat there. A really low number of students are up there. Minju might beat me at everything else but I hope she won't beat me at getting Minho .

"So what are you thinking about?", asked a voice, which belonged to the dreamy Minho. Something's wrong with me.

"Nothing", I said, to him.

"Are you sure?", asked Minho. He came and hugged me. "You can tell me if anything is wrong".

My breath hitched. Was he serious? I blushed red. "Nothing's wrong", I said.

He let go of me. "Ok, well let's go", he said, as he opened the door for me. Aish this dork is going to kill me.

We made it downstairs. "Hello Yi Cheol. I am excited to be working with you", said Minju, as she offered me a shake hand. I accepted and that's when our jobs began.

"Kimchi! Should Minju do something about this?", asked a student, as they showed a form requesting better cafeteria food.

"No, Minju said that she wants the important things", I said, as I pulled out another form. "Like this one about the school trash disposal". I went and gave it to her.

Minho was also at work since he was part of our class, he would help other classes represent their choices. He looked cute when he stuck his tongue out when trying to work. Anyway, enough staring. I was working, when I saw something. Minju was talking to Minho. I tried to hear their conversation.

"Thanks", said Minju. I noticed how Minho blushed and scratched the back of his head. I know Minho is nervous. It couldn't be anything else.

It was lunch time. Felix just asked how was your day and Minho began talking about how Minju was selected and Minju did this and that. What about me? I looked up at him. He was cute when he was talking. "Is something wrong, Kimchi?", he asked.

"What-no?", I said, looking away. I blushed furiously.

"Are you okay?", asked Seungmin, as he and Jeongin looked at me.

All three of us went on a walk while the rest by rest I mean Minho was talking. "So then he began talking about his entire day and how Minju did this and that. What about me? He can't forget about his best friend", I said. I told them how I felt and everything about Minho.

"Congratulations", said Jeongin. "You're jealous".

I turned red. "You think so?", I asked.

"You're mad at hyung for talking about someone other than you", said Seungmin.

The next class began. I was sitting next to Minho. He was looking out in the sky. Atleast, he's not talking about Minju.

"Bye Lisa, Rose, Jennie!", said Jisoo, as she joined me near the exit of our school. "What happened?", she asked. I told her everything and obviously the part where I was jealous. "You're hopeless".

"So are you noona, you and your other friends are dating BTS secretly", I whispered. She blushed and continued walking. "So what happened to that one army girl who said she would marry BTS?".

"She's in a better place", said Jisoo. "By that I mean another country". I rolled my eyes at my sister's possessiveness. I fell asleep that night thinking about how one day I could confess to Lee Know and be happy.
