BETWEEN US || STRAY KID'S HWANG HYUNJIN

07

"it's finally friday!" i put the snacks and post-it on hyunjin's desk before going back to my classroom.

"and you've been doing this for exactly 3 weeks already! you're crazy.." yoojung clapped sarcastically.

"at least he is not as cold as he first was anymore and he's also starting to talk to me more!"

"i really think you're starting to develop a crush on him, i admitted i have a crush on chan so why can't you?"

"you do?" seungmin suddenly popped out of nowhere, standing behind us.

yoojung jumped up in shock, turning behind immediately.

her eyes widened when she saw seungmin.

"p-please don't tell chan.. i will kill you personally!" yoojung threatened.

"you can't even kill a bug, how are you going to kill seungmin." i said, teasing yoojung and chuckling.

"i think he likes you too though, it's so obvious." seungmin was clearly not bothered by her threat at all.

"who likes who?" chan suddenly ran into the classroom, being all hyper as usual.

yoojung immediately turned pale, "aeri, do me a favour and kill me now–" she muttered softly to me.

"yoojung likes you." seungmin casually exposed yoojung.

chan looked at yoojung in shock before looking at seungmin again.

"really?"

yoojung glared at seungmin, mouthing 'you-did-not-just-do-that.'

"what? you two obviously like each other, i'm just doing you guys a favour." seungmin smiled cheekily.

"thank you so much. i was getting frustrated." i highfived seungmin.

chan was all red by now, he grabbed yoojung wrist, "let's talk."

chan dragged the flustered girl out of the classroom.

"i bet they will come back holding hands or something." i squealed, happy for my best friend.

"mhm." he smiled like a proud dad.

"why did chan suddenly come to our class though?"

"ah, he probably wanted to ask you two if you wanna hang out during the weekends, he mentioned something about it on the way to school." seungmin explained.

"who's going?"

"all the boys, yoojung and you. who else would go?" he laughed at my question.

"sure, i don't think i have anything to do tomorrow anyways."

"what's taking the couple so long anyways?" seungmin asked.

it has been around 8 minutes but they were still not back.

"speak of the devil." i pointed at the door. chan and yoojung shyly walked into the classroom holding hands.

"i told you! i told you!" i excitedly got up from my seat and congratulated them.

yoojung shyly hid herself behind chan's arm, blushing like crazy.

"aww! you two are the couple of the year already!" i cooed.

"i hope you two last long– scratch that, i hope you two last forever!" seungmin congratulated them too.
