I GOT YOU, MINJAE. | ANTON LEE ™

THREE.

Sooner or later, they arrive at the usual cafe they're used to. Seungsik and Yeji quickly jumped out of the car and went inside, leaving a high Minjae in the car. He carefully exited and slowly walked inside the coffee shop, seeing his friends in their favorite spot. "Minjae hurry up, we ordered for you already," said Yeji before she sipped her caramel macchiato.

"So, continue about how your mom found you doing drugs, kid," said the other male, eyes focused on the lad as he stared out the window. When Minjae didn't respond, he took it upon himself to reach over and shake him a bit. Minjae swung his head over with a scowl on his face, "What do you want?" "Finish the story," the boy's face later turned into confusion.

"What?" His mind was racing, his fingertips tingling while he felt like he could smell colors. Seungsik shook his head and repeated himself, slowly before the boy realized what he was talking about.

"Oh that... Yea, she tried to stop me from going upstairs but I obviously ignored her." He shrugged before taking a sip of his drink, his hands fidgeting around his cup. He looked around the cafe with a feeling of alertness. He wanted to leave. "Guys can we leave?" Yeji squinted her eyes as she watched his movements, a sigh leaving her mouth.

"Are you high right now?" Her voice coming off strongly. Minjae stared at her before laughing, his body jolting along with the sounds of laughter. He finally calmed down but not before slamming his hand on the table, "Do I look high to you?" The slim boy responded with his eyes boring into the girl across from him. Yeji scoffed and leaned up in her seat, "I thought we agreed you'd stop."

Seungsik shook his head disappointedly, his back leaned against the cushion of the booth as he anticipated Minjae's response. Minjae on the other side sat there with a wide smile on his face, "Surprise!" He sarcastically said before decreasing it to a small grin, "You actually believed me? Come on, Yeji, you know I can't stop."

"What's the worst that can happen to me anyway?" The teenager mumbled under his breath before looking back outside. Oh boy did he know what would come after that. "What's the worst that could happen? Minjae, you could die. I've told you this already. You're in your last year of highschool and you've done nothing but drugs. You have a whole life ahead of you and you're going to throw that away for what? Some powder?" Yeji rambled with a motherly tone, her hands flying in the air as she spoke.

She watched him as he just stared out the window, his hands fidgeting on the table before she sighed. She slid out the booth and walked to the car, starting it up as she waited for her friends. "Come on Minjae, we'll talk about this later." Seungsik mumbled also exiting the booth, soon pulling Minjae out after him and walking to the car.

Minjae then jumped to his feet and rushed to the door, not paying attention before running into someone. The tall boy's mouth fell agape at the feeling of his cold coffee on his chest, "What the fuck ..."

"Oh my God .. I'm so sorry." A soft voice rambled out as he quickly ran around him and grabbed some napkins, placing them in the other's hand. "I wasn't paying attention." Minjae lifted his head from the sight of his wet shirt and was met with a shy, slightly buff boy.

"Fuck."
