Minimal Yet Meaningful

"Look he's with someone new already." Whispers erupted as the newest couple walked down the hallway.

"Yeah, I heard he got asked out right when he got to school."

"Poor guy, falling for that whore."

"Don't say that! Seungcheol's really nice. You went out with him! You should know how it feels."

"Yeah but he's not even sad when you break up with him! I mean I swear someone asked him out the second I dumped him and he said yes."

"Why did you even break up with him? He's super caring and fun to hang around. Not to mention that he'll spoil you completely."

"Same reason you did."

"Choi Seungcheol, will you go out with me?" He looked at all the decorations, the banner, the small amount of confetti on the ground, how could he say no?

"You know, I would have said yes with a normal proposal." He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Of course, but I really like you, I think you deserve a proper proposal."

"Doyoon, I think this is more than a proper proposal."

"Whatever you see, you deserve it." Seungcheol took another look at the banner. The question he was asked a while ago was hand painted onto a white canvas surrounded by hearts of many colors. Everyone looked at it too, then turned to whisper amongst each other. He could say he wasn't used to all the attention, and he doesn't like to brag, but he was well known.

"What a lie," Seungcheol took his hand with a smile, "how did you even get that banner up there?"

"Well, you see, the janitors like me." Seungcheol knew Doyoon, with the way he opened the bag of chips the day before, he wasn't believing that statement.

"Stop lying, how did you really do it?"

"Fine, I slipped George a twenty." Doyoon shrugged as if it was nothing. Seungcheol's jaw dropped.

"A twenty?! Doyoon you've been asking me to buy you lunch for how long now but you can slip a janitor a twenty?"

"Ah... Well, you see..." Doyoon used his other hand to scratch the back of his head. Seungcheol shoved him playfully.

"You're buying me lunch today."

-

"Ah, and so it begins." A pretty face framed by silver hair grinned from across the table, "honestly, it's been a while, I thought Seungcheol made around with everyone already." The boy sitting next to him nudged him with a shoulder, shaking his head and rolling his eyes.

"Jeonghan don't be mean, Seungcheol and Doyoon are both happy, don't bother them." The one speaking was looking down at his food the whole time, digging through the almost empty bag of chips.

"It's a light teasing Jisoo, nothing too harsh. You guys are really cute together and I had a feeling. You suit each other." Jeonghan leaned his head against Jisoo's shoulder, opening another bag of Lays and offering him some.

"So that's why the rumors started up again." Another voice came from Jeonghan's other side. The owner had brown hair and a red-flannel covered arm draped across the shoulders of a blond guy. "It happened today?"

"Before school."

"When I stepped on the lawn, did you know he paid the janitor twenty bucks yet I've been buying him lunch for two months now?" Seungcheol leaned in as if he was whispering but the statement came out anyway but quietly.
