Smile // GOT7 Jinyoung

10. Boxes and awkwardness

Mina's POV:

"Mina! Please take these boxes of decorations and give it to the others at the auditorium." Mr. Ha said as I passed by the faculty office.

"Sure." I smiled.

"But are you sure you could handle it? Should I get someone to help you?" He asked.

"There's no nee-"

"Oh! Jinyoung-ssi! Please help Lee Mina carry these boxes to the others. You may take them one by one from here." Mr. Ha said as he saw Jinyoung pass by.

"Okay, Mr. Ha. Are these all?" -Jinyoung.

I looked at Jinyoung, who was now standing beside me, awkwardly because I haven't been keeping in touch with him these days.

Mr. Ha went back inside the office. Me and Jinyoung are left with the boxes outside. I reached over the first one and he stopped me.

"Carry the small one. Its lighter." He simply said and took the big box from my arms.

"Okay.." Was all that left my mouth. I took the smaller box and he lead the way.

He was ahead of me, so I could only see his back from behind. He knew that I was sort of avoiding him so he went first maybe. He knows his place and gave me space.

We went inside the auditorium and put down the boxes.

"Let's get the other one." I said and rushed off ahead. I knew he was following behind.

This is the last box and also the heaviest. I took it and stumbled a little.

"Let me do it. And you lead the way." I hear him and he took the box.

I let him be and I started walking.

No words were said. We just walked in silence. This is getting really uncomfortable for me right now.

"Jinyoungie! Come play the piano with me!" I heard Jiwon, from the Music room. I swear she wasn't there the last time we passed by here.

Her words made me stop and look at Jinyoung with my emotionless face.

"Give that box to Mina and let's play." She's now in front of him with her flirty presence.

Jinyoung put the box down for a moment. Then, I figured that he was gonna say yes so I went over to them and bent down to pick the box up but Jinyoung bent too and grabbed my arm to pull me up. I got surprised.

"Sorry, Jiwon but I need to help Mina carry these. Maybe next time." Jinyoung said and got the box. He looked at me and smiled, also signalling me to continue walking.

We went down the last set of stairs and I stopped in front of the auditorium door.

"Thank you." I said. He stopped now too.

"Huh?"

"For helping me carry these. I appreciate your help."

"Mina-"

"Put the box back now. You need to practice too" I said and went ahead.

Bambam's POV:

"That would be a good idea, Bambam. I'll make sure to put that up in the event." Mr. Ha said.

"Really, sunsaengnim? Thank you." He accepted my suggestion

"Of course. I think that would complete the whole thing. Thank you too." He thanked me and I went out of the office.

I need to practice now and also help a bit in decorating.

I was on my way back and heard something.

"Sorry, Jiwon but I need to help Mina carry these. Maybe next time." I hear Jinyoung say.

I backed up a bit to hide behind a post. Finally, a MinYoung moment! I've been longing for those.

Jinyoung's POV:

After moving the last box, I heard that Mr. Ha called for me. So, I took a 2-minute break and began my way to him.

"Sunsaengnim, you called for me?" I say as soon as I finished greeting him.

"Do you know High School Musical?" He asks out of the blue.

"Uhh, Yes." I mean like, who doesn't know that movie series? It was my childhood.

"I want you to sing a song from it."

"Sure but... you won't ask me to sing a Sharpay song, right?"

"Of course not! I want you to sing a Troy - Gabriela duet with Mina for the event's closure."

My eyes went wide. A duet? With Mina? "Are you sure sir?" I ask.

"I think you two have potential. And besides, you both have great chemistry for this."

I would've shot him a death glare if he isn't my teacher. Sadly, he is. Help.

"Does Mina know this?" I ask.

"Well... not yet but she will later. Please call her now for me."

"Okay." I got up and bowed.

"Oh wait, Jinyoung-ah! Also thank Bambam for this great idea he gave me. This is the last thing that the event needs. I want to give him a little credit."

"Bambam?" I was surprised. This kid, really.

-

After my conversation with Mr. Ha, I immediately went to the auditorium to call Mina. I see her long, dark brown hair up at the stage with the others, talking.

"Mina, Mr. Ha wants to talk to you." I said.

She looked at me right after I mentioned her name and got up immediately. I was left with the other six. I sat down with them.

"He finally chose to spend time with us. Yay." Jackson sarcastically said.

"Look, I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you guys. I promise." I said

"So, what's up?" Bambam asked.

"Mind if I kill you?" I told him.

"Huh? Why?"

I glared at him for a good three seconds and he finally got it.

"Oh yeah... You're welcome, hyung." He showed a toothy grin. I want to kill this guy, really.

"Why? What's going on?" JB asked, concerned.

Bambam told them everything about the plan he made and how Mr. Ha was so happy about it. He was talking so confidently yet so full of himself.

"Really? Whoa." -Youngjae.

"Nice one, hyung." -Yugyeom

"We need someone to film the whole thing!" -Jackson

I mentally facepalmed. These guys.

"Jinyoung-ah, don't be too negative. Wouldn't it be a good opportunity? She seems mad at you, right? Then, do it." Jaebum hyung's positivity spreads.

Well, maybe this isn't such a bad thing thing after all. I'll do my best.

I'll try to not put an author's note on every end of a chapter now. Unless, I really need to put one. I want readers to stay focused on the story.

Everyone, thank you for 200+ reads! I won't force anyone to vote, comment, or follow me. But if you would, I'll be more inspired to write more. Thank you all so much!

Much love,
Ana
