MY MISTAKE ; seoksoo

chapter twelve

seokmin wondered around campus, holding a large cup of scorching coffee that warmed his hands from the chilling autumn weather. he loved the in-between of autumn. he liked that he could wear sweaters and jeans but he could still ware regular shirts without freezing to death at times. the colour scheme was one thing that made him obsess over the season as well; warm tones made seokmin feel cozy on the inside.

speaking of being cozy on the inside, seokmin texted jisoo to see if he was at school or in class. he sat himself down on a bench and quickly scrolled through his notifications on social media until he saw the older's reply.

[from: jisoo hyung 1:36 pm]

i've got work today, actually. sorry :(

seokmin grinned at the cute use of the emoji and quickly wrote back.

[from: seokminnie 1:39 pm]

i'll be there in twenty minutes then.

[from: jisoo hyung 1:39 pm]

what? why?

[from: seokminnie 1:39 pm]

see you soon xx

[from: jisoo hyung 1:40 pm]

no, what??

seokmin!

the younger decided not to reply as he slipped his phone into the back pocket of his jeans. he tugged at the front of his cap, securing it on his head and setting off to the train station. he grabbed a ticket and waited for the train to arrived at the station.

seokmin wanted to visit jisoo today, not just to see him, but to take him out. a new ramen shop had just opened and he had wanted to eat at it for a while now. so, what better time than to eat there when he has a partner to join him?

ever since their last video call a couple nights ago, seokmin has barely seen jisoo at school and would stay in touch with him by texting or occasionally calling in once and a while. seokmin missed the older and the way he felt just by simply standing next to him. the aura jisoo gave out made seokmin feel calm and washed over his insecure thoughts and mindsets. if he would ever be having a bad day, seokmin made sure to run up to jisoo and embrace him. it was just something about the older that eased his unsteadiness, whether it be when they touch or just the mere thought of jisoo.

jisoo was a gentleman in seokmin's eyes. his was polite and well mannered, the tone of his voice was always so soft and humane in the ear. and to add to that, jisoo overall has a kind and approachable feel emitting from him. his resting face was never scary and a faint smile always set perfectly on his lips that invited people over to start up conversations with the american born man. seokmin loved how cute jisoo would act, especially since he never knew he would be acting like that.

seokmin adored it when jisoo would pout when trying to remember something important or the way he would quietly mumble to himself when forgetting seokmin could hear him. even when jisoo expresses opinions he's quite passionate about, he would raise his voice but it still sounded so calming to seokmin. he had yet to find a flaw located in hong jisoo and strongly believed that he never would.

all of these things, seokmin managed to think of while riding the train and was cut off when his stop had come up. he held the straps of his bag tightly and ventured off to the daycare centre, happily continuing to think of jisoo along the way.

peaking through the glasses door at the front of the building, seokmin saw a muck of kids running around and creating a riot. in the middle of all of that was jisoo, trying his best to calm them down by bribing them with a picture book or colouring while seokjin was in the corner of the room quietly playing with taehyung, hoesok and jimin and letting jisoo suffer. seokmin laughed to himself before pushing open the door and entering. seokjin was the first one to notice someone stepping in and quickly went to see who it was.
