CHAPTER 56

I want to hold flowers that are pretty like you
And stand in front of you again.

"Shoot. Shoot. Shoot. Really Minji? You're not supposed to give in! Oh my goodness that boy drives me crazy . ." Minji whined as she buried her face in the pillow.

She honestly didn't know how it happened. The girl wasn't complaining but she could've just waited for a bit more, Minji didn't want to give in yet. Not when the exams haven't even started.

What was she going to do when her father finds out?

Minji's phone vibrated against her matress causing her to shoot her head up and reach for the tiny device.

Jihoon😳 wants to video call . .
Accept|Decline

The girl stared at her phone not knowing whether to answer the video call or not but the only thing on her mind was why the heck did he want to video call when they could just call each other?

Heck, why would he even want to call?

Accept|Decline

Minji quickly fixed her hair and sat up on her bed, trying to look as presentable as she could.

"Hey Minji!" Jihoon greeted, the corner of his lips instantly tugging up, his chubby cheeks visbly seen. Minji cleared her throat.

"H-hey Jihoon! What made you call? . . I mean, y'know people can call whoever they want whenever they want but you know- Ah, what am I even saying . ." The girl cut her sentence off, flustered.

Jihoon laughed, his sparkly eyes turning in to crescents, his laugh music to her ears. "I just missed talking to you, I guess?" He chuckled.

The boy couldn't seem to wipe the visible smile upon his face, whenever he tried to stop smiling, the more happier he got. Minji found it cute that he even had to hold his cheeks with his thumb and index finger to stop smiling but it didn't work, of course.

Minji felt even more flustered because of his little confession, it wasn't healthy for her to feel so europhic just because of his sentence, it wasn't normal.

Goodness, have I fell deeper for him? She thought.

"O-oh . . is that so?" She shyly chuckled, not knowing what to say next, Jihoon seeing her flustered face was already enough for Minji to set her off, how could she possibly talk in that state?

Jihoon chuckled.

"Have you been sleeping? I'm still worried about you, you know . ." He asked, a small frown forming upon his painted pink lips. Minji noticed that, she couldn't help but stare at his lips for a little while before answering his question.

"Yeah . . thanks to you." She smiled, Jihoon mirrored her smile.

He looked at himself on the screen, fixing his hair and forgetting that he was video calling someone. Minji inwardly chuckled at the closeness of his face on her screen, it was cute.

"Bub." Jihoon softly muttered, the way the word rolled off his lips had Minji's heart jumping, it sounded so amazing that it melted her heart. "Yeah?" She asked.

"Why are you so pretty?" Jihoon asked, his eyes full of affection as he stared at Minji's flustered face through the screen. "Goodness Jihoon . . stop doing this to me." Minji muttered as she covered her face with her free hand. Jihoon softly laughed making her even more embarrassed.

"Minji! Dinner is ready, are you going to eat?" Her mother knocked through her door. "Y-yeah, I'll eat." Minji spoke while looking at Jihoon.

The boy smiled, "Go eat."

"Let me see your work." Jihoon leaned closer to Minji as he carefully read her notes. She could smell his familiar cologne, Minji didn't know why but it brought back memories.

"These are great, you're honestly ready for History." He spoke, a proud smile forming upon his lips. Jihoon couldn't hold back his smile, how could someone possibly do? He was proud of her after reading an amazing piece of writing.

Minji's eyes sparkled, "Really? I worked really hard on that one."

Jihoon nodded, his smile never leaving his handsome face. "You're doing great, don't stress yourself out so much." He patted the top of her head before returning to his notes.

Their friends stole glances at the both of them, secretly nudging one another while smiling. Nari was the happiest out of her, Daehwi and Jinyoung, she was happy to see all of them complete.

Complete and happy.

Nari hoped that they won't ever fight again, it pained her seeing her friends fight in front of her, they're all so close to her and she didn't want to chose a side nor get divided. They were all very precious to her.

After all, they accepted her for who she was and never treated her differently. They treated her like a normal human being. Loving her to bits and pieces and always being there for her during rough times.

"We're here to study not to flirt." Daehwi shook his head, a teasing smile forming upon his lips whilst staring at his two friends before him.

Minji and Jihoon shyly chuckled, stealing a glance at one another before returning to their notes, flustered.

"Don't you think you're too harsh on the kid? Be thankful that she actually came down to eat dinner yesterday. Also why are you not letting her hangout with Jihoon? He's still a friend of her's." Mrs. Kim sighed, sitting on the couch.

Her husband scoffed, "I told you before, I care about her future. I don't want her hanging out with him because he'll be a distraction for her, you know how much she easily gives in. Plus, what he did to her was wrong."

"What you're doing to Minji is wrong. Jihoon had his own reasons and Minji is trying to understand that, that's how much she loved him. If you care about her future so much then why won't you let her near the person she loves?" Minji's mother answered back, she was tired of seeing Minji sad.

All she wanted for her daughter was happiness because she deserved it. She didn't want to see Minji sad because of Mr. Kim, that was the last thing she wanted to see from Minji.

Mr. Kim was about to speak until someone had knocked on the door. He sighed, hastily walking towards it and opening it.

There stood Minji with Jihoon.
