"i like you."

those three words were stuck in her mind. the teacher noticed she wasn't listening and hit her desk with a meter long ruler. and somehow, she didn't react to the others' expectations. a hand on her hip, the elder gave the girl a sassy glare.

"miss lee. can you repeat what i was explaining to your dear classmates?" the attention was all on her. she hated it so much. "i don't think it's necessary for me to do so. i think my dear classmates already understood and believed every false facts you've been delivering for the past hour." she showed no emotion. like she couldn't feel sympathy and empathy.

gasps and whispers were heard from every corners of the room. the elder didn't dare talk back, but she was obviously fuming. her face was crimson red from anger and embarassement. few laughed. few oo-wed.

"principal. now." the teacher pointed the door and the girl didn't hesitate one second to stand up and exit the class. suri didn't even bother go to the principal's office, and went on the rooftop.

when mingyu saw suri wasn't in her class, he started to panic. "she was sent to the principal's." the boy looked on the side and saw one of her classmate he recognized as hyunmin. the other boy was as tall as him, and had jet black hair, small piercing eyes and a wide forehead.

the two stared at each other for few second, and the brown headed boy broke the heavy silence. "thanks." he turned on his heels and ran to the side of the school. he took out his phone out of his pocket and opened the messenger app.

mingew: suri, where are you?
lee_suri: none of your business.
mingew: please, we need to talk.
lee_suri: i got nothing to talk about.

mingyu threw his head back in desperation and let out a groan. then, he saw two legs hanging from the rooftop. his eyes widened and his heart dropped. in a blink of an eye, he ran back inside and rushed to the stairs.

mingew: get down from there, dammit.
lee_suri: leave me alone.
mingew: please. i'm sorry. okay.
lee_suri: mingyu. leave me alone.
mingew: no. i won't stop until i see you get down from there.
lee_suri: fuck. you're just so annoying.

once mingyu reached the last floor, he kicked open the door, and saw suri with her back facing him. "suri, please. get down from there. we need to talk. nevermind, you can just listen while i talk, okay? but please, just come down." suri turned to face him and saw tears running down his cheeks. she couldn't help but feel bad.

slowly, she completely turned around and stepped down of the rail. she approached the boy and lifted her hands to wipe with hesitation the tears that were staining his cheeks. "stop crying." she whispered. "i'm sorry."

suddenly, mingyu pulled her in a tight hug, trapping her in his lean, muscular arms. for a split of seconds, the girl's heart stopped. "i thought i lost you." he whispered in the neck. "never do that again. i don't know how i'd live without you." he continued.

suri, still frozen in place, took a grip of his shirt and let out a breathe. "i'm sorry." she whispered another apologize and lean her forehead on his broad shoulder.

when mingyu lean back, putting a distance between their bodies, he looked at her right in the eyes. he could see sadness and pain in then. it was as if they were desperately screaming for help. without saying another word, he lean forward, crashing his lips on hers. and for some reason, she didn't resist.

suri touched her lips, still feeling a faint and ghostly warmth on them. she flinched when she heard a knock on her door. "oh, sorry. i didn't mean to scare you." it was her bro— her stepbrother — "i just came to say i bought chicken, if you're hungry."

to his surprise, she smiled and hummed a little okay. "i won't be home until friday, for a business trip. i left money on the front door table. and you can bring over a friend, if you want." obviously, seojoon (or simon) had mingyu in his mind when he mentionned the word friend. suri nodded and stood up from her bed. "thank you."

mingyu also appeared in her mind.
