My Soulmate

Chapter 6

(Word count: 1611)

It was Tuesday again and Jisung dreaded going to the vocal class.  He still felt miserable and icky no matter how much he scrubbed himself in the shower or his teeth.  The feeling wasn't going away and getting bored out of his mind by Mr. Choeng is not going to help at all.

Walking into the class, Jisung noticed a certain brunette-haired boy sitting at a desk pulled so that it was next to his unofficially designated desk.  Jisung could feel his face contort into a confused expression before the brunette noticed him standing by the door.  The brunette waved Jisung over and Jisung complied.  

Why should he not?  

Jisung stopped before the boy's desk and looked at him, still confused as ever.  On the other hand, the boy is grinning like a maniac.

"Jisung-ah, are you gonna ask why I'm sitting right here or are you going to keep staring at my beautiful face?" the brunette asked, making Jisung snap out of his mind and back to reality.

"I- uh, what are you doing?" Jisung sputtered, and the guy smiled.

"Looking at you of course," the boy sweetly said, tilting his head to the side.  This made Jisung blush even more.  The tips of his ears turned red.

"Minho, you know what I meant," Jisung whined.

"Well, if you sit right here next to me and look up at the board, you might know why I'm sitting here."

Jisung looked at him, knowing he should listen to him.  He hung his bag on the chair and took out his supplies, setting them down on the table before sitting down in the uncomfortable plastic chair.

Jisung finally looked up at the board, words written on it instructing students to sit in pairs or trios for today as there was a special project to work on.

Jisung looked at Minho who was on his phone, texting somebody.  Jisung couldn't see who it was before Minho shut off his phone, placing it down on the desk.

"So you decided, without consulting me, that we would be partners?" Jisung questioned.

"Yes, exactly that,"

"Well, what if I don't want to be paired with yo-" Jisung got cut off by Mr. Choeng clapping his hands together a few times to gain the attention of the class.

"Okay class, today we will be starting a project as you can see on the board.  Some of you might not be in a group already, so find some people to work with," Mr. Choeng explained.  A few students stood up and looked around for somebody to work with and grabbed their stuff, asking to join.

A girl strutted over to Minho, looking at him seductively.  Jisung could tell she was forcing her boobs to bounce when she walked and rolled his eyes in annoyance.  She sat down on Minho's desk and looked down at him, Minho seemed unbothered and just looked at her face, waiting for her to say something.

"Minho oppaaa~," She said, trying to act cute.  "Can we pair up?"

She pouted her lips and lifted her hand to put it on Minho's shoulder.  Jisung didn't know why but that made him feel irritated.  He wanted to just punch her, or slap her, or stop acting stupid.  Her act was cringey and he knew that, but he could deal with random girls acting that way towards their boyfriends.  But why does it bother him when she does it with Minho?  He doesn't even know the guy.

"Sorry, but I'm already paired up with Ji here," Minho said, pointing to Jisung.  He took her hand with his finger and flicked it off of his shoulder, smiling.
