『 bus 143 』

chapter 2

"Sometimes life can surprise you with a
happy coincidence."

→ Park MinHee's POV ←

Yesterday ended with an embarrassed and apologetic SeJun. The day continued as it usually did and we finished our artwork. I didn't see any one of those four except for Sungmin the rest of the day. Sungmin was in my homeroom class and we surprisingly had a few other classes together. MeiCha and I ended up in science and math with one another too. I kind wish I had something with Sejun though...I want to get to know him better.

I was currently on bus 143 on my way to school. After a couple of minutes the vehicle halted and its doors opened. Oh this is SeJun's stop.. I saw him walk in on cue and waved at him.

He rubbed his eyes before waving and me and taking his usual seat by my side. His hair had some strands standing up and his tie wasn't correctly put on. He must be tired. But he looks cute.. wait, what am I thinking?! Before I knew it he was already dozing off on my shoulder.

It only took me a second to appreciate his presence, I knew that his visuals were always captivating girls. But seeing him this close made my heart beat faster, his lips let out steady breaths and his eyes calmly closed.

I turned away to change my mindset. He explained himself yesterday yet...he continues to sleep on me. Soon we arrived at school and as usual he dashed off without explanation. What an odd personality..

It was now lunch and I was making my way to the cafeteria. The loud chatter filled my ears as I lined up for my food. "Hello MinHee.." the lunch lady greeted handing me my tray. I smiled and greeted her back. Today I decided to have chicken strips and fries with some pepsi. I took a seat beside Meicha who was already arguing with Sungmin.

I looked over at the empty seat beside him before focusing on my food. "Looking for someone?~" Mei chimed. My face heated slightly. "N-No..." I responded awkwardly.

"Hey guys!" I suddenly heard a familiar male voice exclaim. There's SeJun... After chatting for a bit we finished our food and just waited for lunch to end.

MeiCha eyed me up and down oddly. She landed on my face a few times and moved around as if looking for my 'best angles'. I laughed, "What's up MeiCha?". "I was just thinking MiMi, you'd look so cute in a denim skirt and pastel crop top!" she explained. Embarrassed, I felt my cheeks turn pink and I looked over at the boys.

SeJun turned his line of sight from his phone to me. Ah how awkward... seriously Mei.. "Thanks, you'd look cute in anything though!" I returned. "Aw tha-" Mei started before being interrupted. "Why thank you MinHee, I know I'm fabulous!" Sungmin posed. We bursted into laughter.

"You and MeiCha should go shopping then.." SeJun offered refusing to meet our eyes. His idea peaked my interest. Weird for him to suggest though... By the end of lunch we decided on meeting today after school since we both had spares last period.

We all headed to gather our belongings only to meet again in art. I weaved through the crowded halls and collected my belongings. It took me a while to get to my locker and I ended up being apart of the late students. Shoot I better hurry. I picked up my case of pencil crayons and closed my locker door.

Suddenly a strong force slammed my supplies to the floor. My eyes widened at the quick motion. "Lee MinHee..." a girl's voice spoke with a poison tone. Her again... I looked over at her with furrowed brows and bent down to collect my things. "I saw you with SeJun today. You plannin' on leaving him alone anytime soon?" Kyungji questioned.
