...something

The day finally ended. Thank god. After another 3 long periods that lasted a life time I just couldn't wait to go home for once. Normally I'd hide at some club I showed no interest in to keep from being alone, but I had a lot to think about today. Woojin kept on teasing me about Emma and normally I would laugh along but ... I just couldn't for some reason. Just as the curly headed girl came into my mind, I shut my locker to head out when she suddenly approached. "Hello, Jisung!" She said with a quiet , shy tone. "Oh, hey Emma. What's up...?" I asked nervously. My palms became a bit sweaty because there's so much she could say. "I just wanted to give this to you. Nothing big." She smiled. I could sense her getting shy as she hesitated to hand me a tiny slip of paper. Her small hand pressed it into my palms, making me tingle a bit on the inside. "W-what is it?" I asked her quietly. We were interrupted by my sister. Kat ran up to Emma telling her "Hurry up!" Emma hushed her for a second. "Open it later. You'll see... bye, Jisung." She smiled to my face. "See ya..."

"What was that about?" A handsome voice asked me from behind. I forgot Minho and I were walking home together today. "Oh uh... I'm actually not sure. I haven't read it yet." I explained as we started walking out of school. Things were silent for a moment. "So... any special plans for your place tonight?" I asked Minho. He looked up at the sky to think. It was cloudy and bright so his eyes were totally noticeable. They almost sparkled. Luckily as I caught myself staring into his gaze he replied. "Maybe we could do as we usually do. Just talk..." I loved nights like that too. Where we sat around Minho's fire pit and talked about anything we had on our minds. I couldn't wait.

"What did that note say, anyways?" Minho asked me. "Oh right." I dug my hand into the side pocket of my back pack in search of the tiny note. Finally after rummaging and wrist cramps I was able to find it. Slowly unfolding the tiny paper in my hand I saw cute tiny hand writing with numbers above. "Let's hang sometime...?" was written in tiny lowercase letters. It was kinda cute. Forgetting I was walking with my friend I was startled when he spoke again. "It's just... something." Yea... I was just "something". For some reason it didn't seem to be as special to me as it would have a month ago when I really liked her a lot. "Nothing important..."

But it was strange... I didn't feel as strong of feelings toward her as I normally thought I had. Maybe a hangout with her was just what I needed to see if there were any feelings at all. Tucking it back into my bag pocket I looked back up to Minho with a smile in attempt to hide any suspicion he made have had. We soon arrived at our neighboring houses. Both skinny, with different shades of tan and pretty trees. "Well then... see you tonight, correct? Feel free to stay the night. " Minho smiled softly to me. I was starting to daze off, but soon enough wind blew against my hair to make it fall in my face and wake me up. "Of course!" I replied all excited. Truly I was excited. I couldn't wait to spend the night with everyone.

Once I got inside, realizing my mother wasn't home as normal, I screamed throughout the house with relief. Finally it was Friday. When was it ever Friday! I threw my shoes next to the door and listened to the silent autumn air for a minute. It was soft and gentle. The sound of grass swaying and leaves bustling made me relax and become less tense.

After my small moment to myself I went back into my bags pocket and picked up the slip of paper again. The blue ink and tiny font made me smile a bit. Emma was a sweet girl.... I wonder what she had wanted. Picking up my phone from my pocket I quickly opened my messages and typed in the number....

You
hey! is this emma...?

Emma??
jisung! hey ☺️

You
whats's up?

Emma ✨
i was wondering if you wanted to hang out sunday?

You
for sure! wanna come to my place at 12?

Emma
sounds great! i'll be there for sure 🥰

... and that just happened. I guess I have plans with Emma now. Maybe I'd finally be able to discover what the hell my heart is trying to tell me about her. I had never been in love before... maybe that's what it is?? I'm clueless. But that's two days away, I have to get ready to go to Minho's. I decided to dress nicely in a big sweater, ripped jeans, and pretty combat boots.

Eager to head over as the time came closer to go next door I tossed all my school things on the messy bed and packed up somethings to stay the night. After folding my faux fur blanket up I headed out the door before my mother could get home. "Kat, im heading to Minho's! Call me if you need something." I yelled up to my sister. Her reply was a simple "got it" so I marched right over to Minho's. Woojin ironically arrived at the same time so we walked through the back gate together.

"So jisung... Chan tells me you have plans with Emma this Sunday?" The oldest member of our friend group smirked to me. Of course that idiot told Woojin. He won't stop bothering the leader figure ever since he found out I liked Emma. "She's just coming over my house for a few hours.... it's nothing big really." Woojin thoughts were different though. "Woah woah... do you know how much can change in a day?" And yeah.... I did. A lot had changed and I hadn't told anyone about it yet. About my fuzzies with Minho. About my decreasing feelings toward Emma. About anything...

I kind of felt guilty, and that's why I'm thankful for tonight. It was dark now. We all sat in our normal spots around a warm fire. Everyone glowed shades of orange and yellow, the flame making each persons face feel softer. Minho came out with a few sodas and passed them out to whoever requested one. "So. Who shall begin tonight..." he smirked to the other boys surrounding him as he sat. "I will." Jeongin started. "I-I'm leaving for America to study there... next month." The maknae stated. Everyone was a bit shocked, but calmed when he said he wouldn't be there too long and would come back here whenever he could . They would still truly miss him.

"I-I guess Ill go next... I've had something to say for a bit now but never did..." Felix started. Everyone nodded for him to continue. "I just wanted to thank you guys... everyone... for making my high school years amazing so far. For being there through everything and spending life with me. I'm glad to have you guys around." He smiled. "And don't ask why I never said it... heh, I'm not a hundred percent sure " he chuckled a bit. That made me feel safe here.  All nine of us gathered here together in a quiet and beautiful setting made my heart settle and forget everything I had to talk about.

Minho sat up a bit and sighed. "Um... I actually have something important to tell you guys..." he said nervously. He seemed to shake up a bit. Was he about to cry too..? Oh Minho... what could possibly be making you this worried, hyung? Chan even started to look concerned. He placed his hand on Minho's and gave it a pat. "We're here for you Minho..." all around the boys either smiled or held confusion. I myself was concerned and worried, shaking myself a bit. Minho started to speak again, seeming more confident but still scared. "I...

I'm bisexual..."
