Me and Minho were talking, but after awhile, I heard some 'ting, ting' from my phone. I looked at it.

                       Winter

Where are you?

It's 6:30pm.

Shit.
I totally forgot.
What am I supposed to do now?!

"I have to go." I stood up, took my bag and left.
I ran to the library. I ran all the time and a car almost killed me!
When I finally came to the library, everyone was looking at me. Then I saw Winter and Yujin also looking at me. I waved at them and sat opposite to them.
"Why are you late?" Yujin asked.
"I-I was so tired, so I went home. And then I realised, that we had to meet here, so I came here."
"Did you run all the time? You live far away from school." Winter asked.
"Y-yes."
"Oh, sweetie. Take some rest." Yujin patted me on my head.
I stood up and took a random book. Then I sat next to them again and started reading it. But I absolutely didn't pay attention to that book. I don't even know what was it about.

"Soojin?" Winter and Yujin looked at me after awhile.
"Yes?" I looked at them back. I was little bit nervous.
"What's that book about?" Winter asked.
"Ehm,... about... a history of South Korea." I said.
"Are you sure?" Yujin asked me.

Then I realised that they can see the cover.
Shit.

I closed the book and looked at the cover.
"Then why is it named '34+35'?" Winter asked.
I started blushing.
"I-I'm sorry I didn't pay attention and took a random book."
"It's okay, but why?" Yujin asked me.
"I was feeling bit awkward..."
"It's okay. Took a normal book or study. Let's just have fun together!" Winter hugged both of us. When she stopped, I stood up and took another book. This one was a Marvel story.
My older brother Jiwook loves Marvel. And not gonna lie, I watched some films with him and it was kinda fun.

"We're closing!" I heard a voice. I looked around. Winter and Yujin weren't there.
I was alone there.
Except for stuff.
I fell asleep!
Why didn't they wake me up?! I quickly stood up, put the book at the right place, took my bag and left the library. I looked at my phone. It's 10pm. Shit. What am I supposed to do now?! There isn't a single bus that's going at this time nearly to my house. I don't like going home alone. And not this late at all. There are some weird men on my way. They're sitting outside, drinking alcohol, smoke and taking drugs.
And I can't avoid them!

"Soojin?" I turned around. Minho was there.
It's always him.
"What are you doing? It's late!"
"I fell asleep in the library." I sounded little bit nervous.
"And are you okay?"
"Yes, yes. I'm just scared of walking home alone."
"Why?"
"There are some weird men that are drunk, smoke and taking drugs."
"Then I'll ho with you."
"What? No!" I yelled at him "Or maybe..."
"Let's go." he said and started walking.
Me too.

"So, what were you doing at the library?" he asked.
"I had meeting with Winter and Yujin."
"That's why you left?"
"What?" I looked at him.
"We were at the bubble tea café." he told me.
"I'm sorry. I was in a rush."
"You left me there because of library? Nerd."
"I said I'm sorry." I raised my voice a little.
"You left me there with a half of your bubble tea."
I rolled my eyes.
"Let's just forget about it." I said.
"Okay."
"So, what were you reading before sleeping?" he laughed.
"At first, I took a random book named '34+35'."
He started laughing even more.
"And then I took a Marvel book."
"You like Marvel?"
"Yes."
"Me too. They always have good songs in the background."
"Right!"
"I hope my song will be there once too." he sighed.
"What?" I stopped "You want to be an artist?"
"Forget about it."
I started walking again.
We were closer and closer to those guys. I started being little bit scared.
"Why are you scared?" he asked.
"Because of those men."
"I don't see them." he looked around.
"But after awhile, you'll."
"I'm not scared. I'm so strong."
Now, I was the one who started laughing.
"Ya! I'm also going to gym."
"Really? With who?"
"My friends."
"And when?"
"Last time, ehmm... I think month ago. Now, I'm mostly with you. Look, I'm accompanying you home."
"Okay, okay."
We were talking about video games and
then it happened. I saw them.
"M-Minho?" I stopped.
"Yes?" he stopped too and looked at me.
"I see them."
He sighed.
"Here." he gave me his hand.

Omg. He. Wants. To. Hold. My. Hand.

I gave him my hand too and we started holding hands.
We started walking. We were closer and closer to them.
We were next to them walking bit quicker than before.
Then one of them said: "I want to eat your ass." And the others started giggling.
"Ya! Don't dare even to look at my girlfriend!" Minho yelled at them.

His girlfriend? Omg. I know he doesn't mean that for real, but...

I wanted to go, but he was keep standing there.
"Deserve it?!" he yelled at them again "Or, I'll call the police. By the way, are those drugs?"
They looked scared now.
Then we finally walked away.
"Thank you." my voice was shaking.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
I nodded.
"Now I know, why were you so scared."

We were walking in silence, until we cane to my house.
"This is my house." I stopped. He stopped too.
"It's pretty."
I saw a light in the living room. I sighed.
"What?"
"My mom isn't sleeping."
"Then told her, that you were with your boyfriend." he made an evil smile.
"That's exactly what I don't want her to think." I looked at him with a killing look "I told you that she's shipping us!"
he giggled.
"Okay, good night!" he waved at me.
I waved at him back and came into my house.
"Why are you late?" mom smiled at me "Were you with Minho?"
"I fell asleep in the library."
"And you came here alone?"
"With Minho." I sighed.
"Are you two dating? You can tell me everything!" she seemed happy.
"I know, but we aren't dating. By the way, good night."
"Good night sweetie! Oops! I'm sorry. Now is Minho the only one who can call you like that."
"Mom!" I raised my voice.
"Okay, sorry."

"Hey, Soojin-ah!" Yujin waved at me when I arrived to school.
"We're sorry, because of yesterday." Winter smiled.
"And why did you do it?" I sighed.
"You looked so tired."
"That's why I fell asleep."
"Yea, but" Yujin sighed "we're sorry."
"Okay." I came to my locket and took the literature. It's my next lesson.
I went to the classroom and sat down.
After awhile, others came and the bell started ringing.
"Good morning, students." Mrs. Kang came.
"Today, we're starting new genre, romance. So, what's your favourite romance story?"
"I like friends to lovers." Momo said.
"I like love triangle." Wonhee said.
"I like fake dating." Vernon  said.
"I like grumpy x sunshine and I don't like enemies to lovers." San said.
"Yeah, me too." Hanni agreed.
"The best ship her would be Karina and Jaewook. And the worst Minho and Soojin." Wonbin said.
"Yes!" others agreed
Me and Minho looked at each other.
