CHAPTER 15

"Why do you look so down? You can talk to me." Woojin's head shot up, Minji intensely stared at the boy which made his cheeks redden.

"Nah, it's nothing." He chuckled, tousling her hair. Minji groaned at his actions, quickly fixing her hair. Woojin stared at Minji fixing her messy hair, his eyes showing a glint of affection, "What?" She asked.

He shook his head and chuckled once again, "Hey, anyway if Jihoon tells you anything. Take care of him, I know he's stressed right now. I'm just really worried but he's not telling me anything." She shrugged.

"Will do. He's like a brother to me." Woojin responded.

"Well, here we are." Minji grinned, turning to Woojin, "I'll see you tomorrow then?" He waved and turned around after she nodded to his question.

"Wait!" Woojin quickly turned around again, jogging to reach out Minji's hand, she gave him a confused face but chuckled as he pulled her in to a tight hug. "I'll see you tomorrow, Minji." He spoke before pulling away.

Minji waved and watched as he walked away.

Minji sighed while staring outside the window. She felt down but she didn't know why, "Should I text him? . ." She asked herself.

Minji ❤: hey, you okay? i'm bored. :((

She once again sighed to herself, locking her phone and tossing it to her bed. Minji thought about Woojin's somewhat weird behavior today aswell, although the boy was normally weird, his personality felt off.

His face would turn beet red and he stuttered easily.

Minji remembered how the two first met when they were freshmen, it was break time and a clumsy Woojin got too excited to join his group of new friends so he ran over to them with a tray of food in his hands.

The boy was too focused on his friends and accidentally tripped on his untied shoe laces, Minji being the unlucky girl she is, the food went flying all over her.

Woojin's face met the ground but looked up as soon as he heard someone groan in frustration, "Watch where you go!" Minji scoffed while her friends helped her wipe the food off her skirt and top.

His face reddened and quickly stood up, "I-i'm sorry." Woojin choked out, he didn't expect the second day of highschool to be like this, not when he just started.

Woojin got a disatisfied face from Daehwi causing him to bow his head of embarrassment.

The way they crossed eachothers path was weird yet Minji was thankful to have a friend like Woojin.

She made her way to her bed, plopping down at the edge of it, "I'm so bored."

Ever since Jihoon started acting cold, Minji didn't have any energy to go to school. It was probably because she never looked forward to seeing anyone not especially when Jihoon is giving her the cold shoulder for no apparent reason.

It was the same cycle for every single day, Jihoon acts cold to her while she tries to understand him.

She was honestly getting tired of his attitude but she loves him.

"Rae- stop!" Jihoon grabbed her by the shoulders pushing the eager girl away, ever since the whole deal started, she couldn't stop clinging on to Jihoon like a leech.

Rae rolled her eyes, annoyed. "Why are you acting this way? I can give you much more than she can." She smirked, once again stepping closer to him.

Jihoon chuckled, "You're right."

"You give me a headache, she can't." He smirked eyeing her once more before walking away, heading for his locker.

You'll be mine soon, Jihoon.

As the boy walked along the hallway, he slowed his tracks as a special someone caught his eyes, not like it was the first time. She always caught his attention. His heart sank, he wanted to hug her right then and there, Minji looked so stressed and sad.

And it was all his fault.

Minji looked around the hallway for her friends, Jihoon stiffened and changed his gaze on to a cold one, the one he rarely gives off. The two made a brief eye contact til Jihoon shifted his gaze, seeming uninterested and continued making his way to his locker.

The girl sighed, "It's okay Minji." She said to herself.

"Minji!" Daehwi sternly called from behind also catching Jihoon's attention just as he walked passed them. She turned to her bestfriend and gave him a questioning look.

"I've noticed." He started off.

The boy seemed pretty ticked off, it was only the start of the morning. This was surely not going to be a good day for someone who gets in his damn way.

"Huh?" Minji replied, curious about his sentence. Daehwi hastily scratched his head and let out a sigh, an annoyed one.

"Why didn't you tell me, huh?" A mix of hurt and anger was seen in his dark brown eyes, she was still utterly confused about his words, it was like he spoke another language.

"I've noticed that Jihoon was acting cold towards you for the past few days! I swear I warned that boy that if he ever hurts you, he's dead." His words carefully coming out of his mouth with venom.

"Wha-" "Stop acting dumb, are you going to let him treat you like this or talk to him about it?" He cut her off.

"I-" "You know what, I'll talk to someone else first." Daehwi mischieviously smirked before running off to somewhere.
