[#1] boy next door :: im youngmin

chapter one

"Look at this, look at this!" Eunbi runs over to their table, brandishing a piece of paper at them, slamming it down on the middle of the table before clambering over the bench in between Jiho and Hyejin.

"What's that?" Yerin asks, tearing her eyes away from her phone to glance at the paper. "Oh, look, Yuna! Your boyfriend's running for student council president!"

Yuna's eyebrows furrow and she puts down the book she is reading, slipping a pen in between the pages as a marker before snatching the paper from the middle. "He is not my boyfriend, Yerin- Oh, he is running."

"Since when did you have a boyfriend?" Jiho asks conversationally, motioning for the paper to see the list of running candidates for that year's student council.

Yerin opens her mouth to speak and Yuna kicks her underneath the table to avoid Yerin spreading that lie even more, though she really shouldn't even care whether or not it gets spread around because it isn't even true.

"Yuna-ya!" Somebody suddenly taps her shoulder from behind and she twists around in her seat to see Youngmin standing behind her with a friend and grinning. He points at the paper that Hyejin is now looking at, "I see you saw it already."

She just nods, while Yerin is giggling loudly beside her. She elbows her friend and swings her legs over the bench so that she isn't twisting to look at him. 

"Your skirt-" Youngmin's eyes widen and he is about to take off his uniform jacket when Yuna smooths her skirt down on her legs and looks up at him curiously.

"What?"

"Nothing, nothing," He shakes his head and waves it off. "Anyway, I hope you all could vote for me, if it's alright with you guys."

"Sure-"

"Of course we will!" Yerin suddenly cuts in, smiling widely and nudging Yuna in the ribs. "We will definitely vote for you as president. It's not like we even thought otherwise, anyway."

At this, a big, relieved smile forms on his lips as he bows slightly in Yerin's direction, thanking her while chuckling. This is also the time Yuna notices that the friend he was with earlier has already left him alone. She decides to point that out to him.

"He's always like that, leaving me alone," Youngmin's smile flickers for a moment before he focuses on them again. "Anyway, I better get going now. Thank you, guys." He flashes a smile in Yerin's direction again. 

"No problem." Yerin shrugs, tossing her arm around Yuna's shoulder cheekily. "We would never think of voting for anybody else anyway."

"Great, thanks so much." He laughs again, then reaches over to ruffle the top of Yuna's hair, then fixing the strands he messed up. "See you later, Yuna."

She turns around to face their three other friends when Youngmin leaves their vicinity, to see them all looking at her intently, but it is Jiho who speaks up first. "So, that's the guy."

"What guy?" Yuna tilts her head.

"The guy you like." Eunbi says, and Hyejin adds, "Your cheeks are as red as his hair. It's pretty obvious you have a crush on him."
