Did I really just say that...saying they should pick on me rather then pick on Minseok? Am I crazy or something?! All the popularity that I've made for myself up until now has just gone down the drain. I hate this, it's going to be like when I was in China all over again.
While I was walking past the gym I took a quick glance inside to see Minseok wasn't running laps, wow is he already done? Maybe he's in class by now. He must be confused on why Baekhyun and Chen aren't picking on him.
While I was walking away from the gym, continuing to make my way down the hall, I could hear the coach calling to me from behind. I turned around as he shouted my name and I looked at him with a blank expression on my face, waiting for what he had to tell me.
"Have you seen Minseok?" He asks and I looked at him confused.
"No...isn't he done his laps since he's not in there anymore?" I question while raising one eyebrow.
The coach groaned to himself a bit and put one hand on his hip. "He threw up not long ago. I told him to continue running his laps after he cleaned up his mess but when I went out to check up on him again, he was gone. He only did seven laps and left." The coach says in an annoyed tone.
"Is he okay?" I ask, looking at him concerned.
"I don't care if he's okay or not, he had to finish his laps. Now he's going to serve detention after school with me. This is great though, I want to help that kid. With this detention I'm going to work him out to the bone. No matter how sweaty or how much he throws up." The coach explains with an evil smirk on his face.
"If he doesn't want to loose weight you shouldn't force him too..."
"You're acting like you're blind Luhan, you do see how big he is? I'm helping him with his health, he should be happy I'm doing this for him, taking time out of my own day to help him."
"I know but if Minseok doesn't have motivation to actually loose weight, don't you think it'd be a waste of time? On top of that if he's throwing up when he's working out, isn't that bad?" I ask, arching one eyebrow.
"Whatever Luhan, the boy doesn't need the food in him anyway."
I glared at the coach and a turning feeling of anger was fuming inside me. How can he talk like that about Minseok, behind his back even. I can't even believe some of the things Minseok has heard to his face, excluding all the mean things Baekhyun, Chen and I have all said to him.
"You shouldn't talk about him like that, he's a human too. If he wants to be big then he can. You can't be the one to decide what size someone should be." I say while clenching my teeth a bit. I was really mad, but I didn't want to swear at the coach.
"Being obese isn't a size he should want to be-"
"So what if he is, it doesn't concern you so stop prying into his business and his weight." I say, giving the coach a glare in anger.
The coach just stared at me and I didn't say anything either. I quickly turned around and walked away from the coach before he could say anything else to me. If it was going to be about Minseok I'd just get madder and I don't know what I'd say to him next. If it was about me and how disrespectful I am to him, I wasn't in the mood to hear it.
I feel like since I'm dating Minseok now, I have an obligation to protect him...and now that I'm protecting him...I realise he's dealing with a lot of harassment that I didn't see with a blind eye.
I wonder where Minseok is anyway...probably hiding out somewhere from the coach, I wouldn't blame him. I looked around everywhere I thought Minseok would be but he was nowhere to be found. I honestly have no clue where he could be. It's not like he's in class either, I sneaked a glance inside our classroom and saw he wasn't there.
I went into the washroom and let out a big sigh. I leaned against the counter of the sink and tried clearing my mind to think of where he could be. While I was thinking about where Minseok could be, I saw someone was inside a stall from their feet from underneath the stall door.
Maybe that's...it can't be..."Minseok?" I call out, hoping it was maybe Minseok and I wasn't calling out to some random student.
The stall door slowly opened and I walked in front of it to see Minseok sitting down on the toilet, his backpack on his lap. "So this is where you were?" I ask in a smile while crossing his arms.
He looked down with a frown on his face and started to play with the end of his backpack. It looks like he's hiding something from me. "What...what's wrong?" I question, looking at him confused.
Minseok didn't say anything and I leaned myself against the side of the stall he was in. "Come on, tell me" I say but he continued to be quiet. "Did I do something?" I ask but he shrugged his shoulders like he didn't know.
I sighed and looked at him with a blank expression, still crossing my arms though. He quickly looked up at me and could tell I was getting a bit impatient with his response. He looked back down at his hands and starts to explain "I heard...you and your friends..." he says in a faint tone.
"You heard me and my friends?" I repeat confused, what is he talking about?
"You...Chen and Baekhyun, I heard the fight you had." Minseok explains and I then remembered and realised this was the washroom it happened in.
"Y-You were in the stall the whole time?!" I question, looking at him a bit surprised and he slowly nodded meaning yes.
"You didn't have to do that...you didn't have to defend me. I don't want you being bullied Luhan, I don't want you losing your friends, I don't want you being upset!" Minseok says in a saddened tone, he looked up at me and it looked like he was even sad in his eyes.
"Minseok...I did it to protect you..."
"I'd rather be bullied then seeing you have no friends, and you being bullied instead of me! Why'd you do that, you're so stupid Luhan!" Minseok says, he started to tear up while talking about it.
"You don't have to cry Minseok, I don't care if I get bullied, I'm stronger then I look" I say in a smirk, giving him a thumbs up. "If anything, if things get bad I'll fight them back." I continue to say. I knew I wasn't going to fight them back, I'm a huge coward...how will I fight them back?!
"You're so stupid Luhan" Minseok says again, wiping tears from his eyes but this time he said it with a smile on his face. "N-No one's ever protected me before..."
"Well then I guess I must be your guardian angel." I say in a smirk, looking down at him and he flushed into a light pink. Jeez he's so cute.
I walked into the stall and bent down to lightly kiss him on the lips. "I don't want anyone hurting you, inside or out." I say, placing one hand on his thigh and he turned a darker pink, maybe even red.
Minseok looked off to a side while saying "so...what're you going to do now?"
I looked around the washroom and thought about it to myself. "I might as well stay in here, I don't feel like going into class right now anyway."
Minseok nodded meaning okay like he was expecting me to leave him here alone. Jeez, how low does he think I think of him? I ruffled his hair in a smile.
I closed the stall door behind me and he looked up at me confused on what I was doing. "I want to kiss you some more, but with more privacy this time." I say before kissing him lightly once again. I saw he closed his eyes before I did and kissed me back. Jeez I can't get enough of his lips. I really want more but I have to try and respect his space and when he's ready.
