You Belong With Me | Jeongcheol Fanfic

Chapter 27

The next day, Mingyu felt a nervous excitement building inside him as he walked through the school hallways. He had been thinking about Wonwoo all night, about how quiet and thoughtful he was, and how there was something about him that made Mingyu want to get closer. Inspired by seeing Jisoo and Seokmin's sweet relationship, he decided to make a bold move—leaving flowers in Wonwoo's locker.

Mingyu wasn't sure what kind of flowers were considered romantic, so he chose a simple yet meaningful bouquet of daisies, hoping it wouldn't be too much. He carefully tucked the flowers into Wonwoo's locker, along with a small note. But as he stared at the paper, he hesitated. He wanted to say something meaningful, but part of him wasn't ready to put his name out there just yet. So, after a moment of debating with himself, he wrote a simple message:

"For someone special."

No name, no signature. He closed the locker quietly and walked away, feeling both excited and anxious.

Later that day, as Wonwoo opened his locker between classes, he was greeted with a surprise. His eyes widened when he saw the bouquet of daisies, neatly placed on the top shelf. He blinked in confusion, looking around the hallway, as if expecting to see someone watching him, but there was no one.

He reached for the note, reading the words: "For someone special."

Wonwoo's heart raced. He wasn't used to receiving such attention, and the mystery behind the flowers made it even more intriguing. He held the bouquet gently, feeling a warmth spread through him, but he couldn't stop wondering—who had sent it?

As he walked to his next class, the flowers in hand, he kept glancing around, trying to figure out if anyone was acting differently. But no one gave him any clues. His thoughts kept drifting back to the note, and even though it was anonymous, something about it made him feel hopeful—like someone was quietly thinking of him.

Meanwhile, Mingyu was a bundle of nerves all day, secretly watching from a distance as Wonwoo discovered the flowers. He hadn't seen the exact moment but heard whispers spreading through the halls. Mingyu smiled to himself, his heart racing with excitement and curiosity. He wondered how long it would take for Wonwoo to figure out that it was him behind the gesture.

At lunch, Wonwoo sat with his usual calm demeanor, but today there was a subtle difference. His friends—Hansol, Dino, and Seungcheol—noticed the faint smile that lingered on his face, and the way his eyes seemed brighter than usual. He wasn't the type to openly show his emotions, but today, he couldn't hide the happiness that buzzed inside him.

Seungcheol leaned over, raising an eyebrow. "Alright, spill. What's up with you? You've been smiling since morning."

Wonwoo blinked, startled out of his thoughts. He hadn't even realized his emotions were that obvious. "Nothing, really," he said, trying to downplay it, but the small grin on his face gave him away.

Hansol, always observant, glanced at the bouquet sitting in Wonwoo's bag, partially visible. "Those flowers," he said slowly, "someone give those to you?"

Wonwoo nodded, a little shyly. "Yeah... but I don't know who."

Dino, who had been munching on his sandwich, leaned forward, his eyes wide with excitement. "Ooooh, a secret admirer? That's so cool!" he exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear.

Wonwoo chuckled softly. "I guess so," he said, the thought making him feel a little lightheaded. He didn't know why the gesture touched him so deeply, but every time he thought about the note—For someone special—his heart skipped a beat.
