I am WHO • Stray Kids

My Pace pt. 1

As you walked the halls, screams and cheers could be heard from outside the field of the school campus.

There was an interschool racing competition which was currently on going.

After replying to your texts, not before a wave of confusion washed over your face at the odd one that you received from Yongbok, you decided to plug in your earphones, trying to ignore the noise as you placed books in your locker.

As you quickly close your locker, you jump back in surprise when you see someone leaning beside it.

A chuckle escapes his lips at your actions.

"I see that you still get shocked over little things"

"Well hello to you too Minho"

Minho couldn't help but smile when he heard his name roll off of your lips.
He missed hearing it.

"Why aren't you watching today's game?"

"I stopped"

"Why?"

You roll your eyes at Minho's question.

"I think we both know why" He could only chuckle  once again at your statement.

"Well you wanna go eat o-"

"-Noona!!!"

You and Minho turn your attention to the source of the noise only to see the cute freshman, Yang Jeongin, running towards you. He stops in front of you before saying

"I just got your text, is everything okay?!"

You flash the guy a small smile before ruffling his hair.

"Don't worry about it Jeongin! I promise I'll make it up to you"

As Minho watched your interaction with the freshman, a sad smile couldn't help but form on his lips as nostalgia hit him.

"Anyway, I have to go. Minho- Minho?"

Minho snaps back to reality to see the freshman walking off as you waved your hand in front of his face.

"You okay? You seem a little daz-"

Minho grabs your hand to stop you from waving it at his face but instead of letting it fall to the side, he doesn't let go.

"Looks like you're now that senior that people have a crush on" He jokes.

Although on the inside, he can't erase the fact that your hand feels warm.

You didn't change one bit.

"Well, I really have to go... bye Minho..."

As you slowly let go of his hand, Minho wanted to do nothing more than grip it tighter even if it was just to be with you a second longer.

Yes, what you had was just a fling, but he missed the warmth of your hand.

Despite those thoughts Minho slowly let go and watched as you rushed off somewhere.

"Hyung! There you are!" Minho turns around to see Jisung running up to him.

"So, how does it feel like to be back at campus!"

Jisung's voice seems to fade away in the background though as Minho stared at what now is an empty hallway.
