sorry | lee minho

daffodil

i walked to school with  minho's jacket in hand. i decided to wash it first before returning it back to him. for some reason, i couldn't keep minho out of my mind. i wondered if he was feeling any better since he did have a bad fever.

why are you worrying about him moonbyul ?

"moooooonbyullll" i heard sejeong behind me. i turned around to meet her gaze and she was giggling.

i smiled at her actions. "what is it?" i flicked her forehead and she frowned.

"i think im in love" her cheeks became a tinted rose and she squealed. "hold up what? who? when? how? why?" i started bombarding her with questions as i raised my eyebrow.

"okay okay so the boys and i were at the usual ice cream place yesterday and i had to go to the restroom so i got up and made my way. but as i walked to the restroom and i bumped into you won't guess who" she shook my arm as she recalled the events. 

"i bumped into chan! the one and only bangchan! ahhh he was so dreamy. " she swooned over the thought of him and i giggled along with her. seeing sejeong this happy made me happy too. her laughter was infectious i swear.

"he apologised to me and smiled and his cute dimple smile ahh its too much to handle" she touched her cheeks and jumped up and down like a child. 

"so you're crushing on him now?" i wiggled my eyebrows at her and she nodded without any hesitation. we walked past the hallway into our homeroom class and took a seat at out tables.

"he is the definition of perfect im not kidding. he is athletic and smart and not to mention that cute dimple smile of his. AND HIS AUSTRALIAN ACCENT!" sejeong fangirled and i laughed.

i placed my bags on the floor and looked at the jacket in my hands. "whose jacket is this?" sejeong asked eyeing the jacket. 

i turned my head and looked at minho. "him" i pointed at his direction and sejeong's eyes widened. 

"huhhh how did you end up having it" she asked perplexed. 

"okay so-" i started explaining to her everything. including the fact that he was my neighbour and the fact that his mood changed in literally two seconds.

"ooo i totally ship it" sejeong cheekily said and i rolled my eyes. "ive never really seen him talk before. he only really talks and smiles when he is with his friends. not to mention, chan is one of his friends" she giggled. 

"im going to pass him his jacket first." i got up from my seat and went over to his table which was at the back of the classroom. i pulled out the chair beside him and made sure his head was facing my direction. 

"hey minho. i wanted to return your jacket. thanks for helping me the other day" i genuinely thanked him while smiling. he got up and took the jacket from my hand. 

"thanks too" he mumbled as he fiddled with his uniform's blazer. it was soft but loud enough for me to hear. i raised an eyebrow, "for what?". 

"for yesterday. i didn't get a chance to thank you yesterday. you know for helping me when i was sick." he softly said and kept his gaze low. 

i smiled at his soft actions and moved my head closer to his until he was looking directly into my eyes. "you're very welcome lee minho" i smiled at him. ive never seen minho this soft before and i couldn't help but feel attracted to him. 

he pursed his lips attempting to hide his smile. 

"also uh sorry for being an asshole" he mumbled but i couldn't catch what he said. "huh?" i looked at him with widened eyes. 

"nevermind" he turned away and plopped his back on the table, facing away from me. 

i shrugged my shoulders and went back to where sejeong was seated. as soon as i sat down, she nudged my shoulder annoyingly and winked at me. 

"oh shut up" i rolled my eyes and took my books to start the lesson.

i headed to my english literature class with a sigh. since it was our last lesson of the day i was drained out. plus, i didn't sleep properly last night thinking about minho and i was too tired. 

why were you thinking about him?

i sat down at my usual spot and waited for minho to take his seat beside me

i stared out the window and my heart sank. i was looking at a class that was having their p.e lessons. they were smiling and having fun while playing soccer. a sport moonbin enjoys. enjoyed every day after school he would stay back and play soccer with his friends 

"im home!" a sweaty moonbin came fumbling through the door with his sports bag and his school bag. he attempted to hug me but i ran away from him.

"god! you stink omg get away from me!" i threw the pillows on the couch at him and he avoided them, sticking his tongue out at me. 

"kids stop it! moonbin please go up and take a shower. i can smell you from all the way in the kitchen. moonbyul please help me get the table ready for dinner. your dad is coming home soon" mom smiled and we nodded our heads. 

moonbin flicked my forehead as i whined for mom.

"moonbyul? moonbyul!" someone tapped my back as i returned back to reality.  i looked up and saw minho with a concerned look on his face.

"why are you crying?" he asked as he sat down beside me. i touched my cheeks and noticed the warm tears that managed to escape my eyes. 

"oh its nothing. really" i smiled at him. he frowned and grabbed my shoulders. "tell me what's wrong. " he stared into my eyes and i gulped. his beautiful dark eyes looked soft and full of concern. 

"if this is your way of redeeming yourself as a good neighbour then wow you're doing a great job. its nothing really. something got into my eye thats all" i awkwardly laughed taking his hands off my shoulders. the teacher walked in and we stood up to greet her. 

i turned to minho who was still looking at me and i held my fist up to assure him that i was alright. i was touched by the fact that minho cared for me. he had so many different personalities that i was even more intrigued by him. 

"class, since this will be your last lesson with me for the term, i would be assigning you a group project." groans can be heard from around the class. sejeong turned to face me and she smiled at me. she did the 'praying' action and laughed cheekily from her seat. i definitely wanted to be grouped with her. 

"for this project, you would be grouped into groups of four. you have to give a detailed summary of the time traveller's wife. you would also have to give a presentation on the different themes and the emotions portrayed in the book to the class when school reopens. you have a week to complete this assignment so i hope i receive quality work" the class was filled with sighs and mummers. 

"i am going to flash the groupings at the end of the lesson so make sure not to rush out when the bell rings" Ms Lee said sternly.

the bell rang after a draggy hour and a half. minho beside me was already asleep. Ms Lee placed the groupings on the board and i headed to sejeong so we could see our groups together. 

Group 4 : Song Moonbyul (Leader) , Kim Sejeong (Assistant Leader) . Lee Minho , Chris Bang 

our eyes widened as we looked at the groupings. "omg omg omg omg are you seeing what im seeing?" sejeong squealed. "is this fate? this is definitely fate ahh moonbyul i think im the luckiest girl on earth i love life" sejeong jumped around happily. 

i turned around to minho's direction and saw chan desperately trying to wake his friend up only to receive a book thrown at him. he sighed and looked at our direction. he gave up a sheepish dimple smile and continued shaking his friend who was asleep.

i looked to sejeong and she was alrdy swooning.

this is going to be exciting.
