For You || Lee Minho

CH-2: The Love and Pain we Share

3rd Person's POV:

----------- The First Meeting ------------

"So far, everything seems alright." Hana sighed to herself, eating her lunch. She changed the schools again and was now on the terrace, eating her lunch alone and peacefully, away from the others. She was a new student and didn't have many friends, even back in her school and now in this one as well.

"Don't you have friends?" She got startled at the voice and turned around to come face to face with a boy, who looked like as if he was resting on the terrace and was disturbed by her talking to herself. The boy looked at the girl curiously and then around the place.
"I first thought you were with someone. But you're alone." He said and stood up, leaving her alone. She looked back at her lunch and then at the boy, who now disappeared from her sight.

"Lee Minho, you actually got the second highest in the class this time." Minho's smile faded and he snatched the paper from the teacher's hand and looked at it furiously and then back at her. "Who came first?"

"Jeon Hana." She said and pointed to the girl, who sat in another corner and Minho immediately turned to her direction with a scowl, only for it to drop. "Oh, okay." He nodded and accepted his defeat and went to sit back on his seat without any word, with his friend, the class president, Bang Chan, teasing him.

Hana remembered him as the same boy she encountered on the terrace. Both of them made an eye contact but didn't say anything and continued their things as usual.

---------- Freshmen in High School ----------

"Minho, are you seriously going to do something or not? For the past year, since we were in middle school, I have seen you look at Hana from afar. Why don't you do something?" Chan asked and Minho shook his head with a smile and then looked back at the seat, which was now occupied by the said girl, who sat down while talking with a friend of hers.

"I know you told Suzy to become friends with her." Chan suddenly interrupted Minho and the boy looked back at him.
"Suzy was a loner and so was Hana, so I just suggested her to befriend her. Nothing more." He dismissed him when the teacher entered the class.

"Today, I will be pairing all of you for the group projects. Here we go." He started to pair all of them up and then, "Lee Minho and Jeon Hana." Both of their ears perked up and they looked at each other, making an eye contact.

"Hey." Suzy nudged Hana with a smirk. "Look the heavens heard you. Now you are paired up with your prince charming." She grinned like a cheshire cat, making Hana shook her head.

----------

"So," Hana tried to make the atmosphere less awkward and looked around.
"What did you plan to do?" She asked and Minho blinked. "Whatever you want me to." She pressed her lips into a thin line, Minho looking around, not making an eye contact.
"Do you wanna do this together?" She asked and Minho looked at her. "It is a group project, so I guess, yeah?" Hana nodded. "Do you like cats?"

"I didn't know a place like this existed." Minho looked around with shiny eyes and smiled widely while petting a cat which jumped on his lap. Hana took him to a cat cafe, and he wasn't against it at all.
"It's cute." Hana mumbled as she petted the grey cat on his lap, Minho admiring her. "You are cuter." He mumbled, but she heard him, looking up at him with a questioning gaze.
Minho gulped, looking away. "I think I need to leave." he immediately stood up, running outside with red ears, hoping she didn't saw anything, but unfortunately for him, she did.

"T-Thanks?"
