I didn't mean to push Seungmin out of my house yesterday. But it just happened, I don't exactly know what happened. But here's the thing, we were just playing together, and I felt this tingly feeling inside. And I didn't know how to react, so I just made him leave. It's not like I wanted him to leave. I wanted to continue hanging out. It was like I wanted to be with him, but I had to push him away. I don't really know why, so I decided to just ignore it.

That's why I was extremely nervous going to school. I was nervous about seeing him. I didn't want him to see me in a weird way, like I was some kind of asocial kid.

And we'll just fuck my luck, he was already sitting across from my seat. I didn't know what to do, I couldn't back out of the classroom as not only had he heard me, but we also locked eyes. He even smiled widely at me.

"Good morning Jun!" He handed me the orange juice, you'd think after all these days, I'd get sick of it. But strangely enough, I think I like it even more because of this habit, if you could call it that.

One thing I noticed about his greeting is the use of a nickname. I liked it, and to be honest, I don't think I've ever felt this way about a nickname.

I was about to speak, but a boy's voice behind me exclaimed Seungmin's name. Rather loudly as well. It made me jump slightly since I wasn't expecting it at all. Obviously, who else would be in the classroom apart from Seungmin and I.

"Jiseok, god" Seungmin sighed as the older boy ran up to him and shook the boy.

"Will you stop shaking me?" Seungmin asked rather loudly, people from the room right besides might've heard him. I just stared at the scene in silence.

"How can I after this morning!" Jiseok jumped up and down in excitement, I wonder what could make him so happy.

"Jooyeon asked me out! To be his boyfriend!" Jiseok pulled Seungmin up and ran around the room out of happiness, until I stopped the two. Although I wasn't the one running, I could feel my energy getting drained.

"I get that you're happy, but it's 8:19 am, way too early for this shit, now " I pulled Seungmin away from Jiseok as I could tell he looked tired. And I pushed Jiseok out of the door.

That's the second day in a row that I pushed someone out. Seungmin looked at me while smiling, he wasn't saying anything. But he continued gazing at me as I walked towards the table.

"Watch, everyone will know in less than three hours" He muttered, his voice slightly muffled since his head was on the table. I don't know why, and I'm probably very wrong, but he seemed slightly jealous..? Is that right, I mean, he wasn't that happy. I'd be very happy if my friend was dating a person he really likes.

I then noticed that his buttoned shirt wasn't fully closed, two were left open. Without thinking, I leaned over and closed the lower one. It wasn't until I leaned back that I noticed how flustered he looked. He was bright red, probably embarrassed by what I had done. I should've asked, or spoke up about it before doing it.

"Ah I'm so sorry" I quickly apologised, I blushed out of embarrassment. I really regret doing it now. I continuously apologized afterwards. I heard Seungmin chuckle before interrupting my endless apology.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't have noticed otherwise" Seungmin smiled at me, it seemed taunting..? Or, I don't know how to explain it... It had more emotion than what he was leading on.

"Class is soon gonna start, you should go back to your seat" Why do I always sound like I want Seungmin to stay away from me. I push him away. I act like I never want him to be here. But I do like being around him. He's a great person to be nearby. I really like him in the platonic way, of whatever we are.
