A walk to remember.

The day went well for the students. Basic-Calculus' teacher Ms. Park attended one of the students parents so she just left a math worksheet for the students to work on. Students being students, didn't even do it and just considered it as a homework. Well, except for Jisung who finished it within 15 minutes, since he was advanced because of the different curriculum on Online education and home schooling.

Felix was still doing his or rather copying Jisung's work. Strangely, Minho wasn't bothering him today. Instead, the Ravenette kicked out the boy who's sitting in front of his seat.

Minho's answering his worksheet. As Jisung observing, he noticed the older occasionally scratch his scalp with his pen. Sometimes, he even pull his own hair.

One more thing Jisung was wondering, why minho isn't giving him his key yet? I mean they're here together.

He sighed and rested his head on his arm. After a few minutes, he heard Minho asking questions on his seatmate who just stood up and sprinted on the other corner of the room.

Then he realized how lonely minho was. He fet bad actually. He saw the side of minho that nobody can't even see through, even his friends failed to see it.
somehow, everything seemed clearer, from his being bullied years up until now.

He stared at the older's back before poking him with his fingers.

Minho turned his head to him and automatically smiled. "Yes, Jisung?"

"Uhm...I was...ah...Do you need help?" Jisung asked softly.

Minho just stared at him for few seconds then nodded shyly. Blush visible to his cheeks.

Minho scooted over on the seat where his seatmate seated, providing a space for Jisung.

The blonde stood up and settled himself beside the older. "What part don't you understand?"

"Uhm this one." Minho pointed at item number 9.

"Ah yeah that's quite hard...All you have to do is to find the derivatives of each variables then multiply the derivatives to the opposite variable" Jisung explained while writing on a scratch paper, Minho nodded in understanding.

"Okay lemme try" Mingo scribbled some things on the paper while bitting his lower lip. Jisung stared at the older's face and features. He's so handsome.

"No, just cancel it out if the terms are equal." Jisung corrected.

After few minutes of messily writing, Minho raised his head and faced the younger.

"There! check it!" Minho proudly said.

Jisung took the paper then faced the older, too. "The sign is wromg but the quantity was correct just fix it then it should be fine."

"Man, that's hard." Minho groaned then goes back on answering.

"Yeah gotta live to it, i guess" Jisung stood up and sat beside Felix  again.

Felix tilted his head in confusion, he was still skeptical over Minho's behavior but knowing Jisung's personality, it probably just fine to provide some trust on him since Jisung was okay with it.

"Did you made up already?" Felix whispered while returning Jisung's paper.

"You can say that." The blonde answered.
"Anyways, let's do our project in my house today. I'll inform Innie."

"Okay!" Felix formed an okay sign with his fingers.

Lunch time was on the run. Jisung and his friends was eating on the corner of the cafeteria where the students doesn't sit often. In there, they can eat in silence—or so they thought.

Minho and his friends placed their tray on Jisung's table. The three jerked their heads up and then sighed all together.

"What do you want now?" Felix questioned.

"What? We just wanna eat." Chan just shrugged.

"Woojin, you told me—" Jeongin just gave up then sighed knowing that having an argument with this idiot was useless.

The other's except Jisung and Felix furrowed their eyebrows over the lack of respect Jeongin just displayed. Thinking that to Woojin, at least, he should use honorifics since he's the oldest.

Jisung noticed this, "Don't give him that look, he respect people who deserves it."

"Yeah why doesn't he honor you guys though?" Seungmin questioned, he hoped to win over this conversation since he knows that his question was a trap one.

"I came from Malaysia, Felix's from Australia and him, he travels a lot, so we don't really care about those honorifics shits" Jisung answered.

"Anyways we're here, just eat then leave." Jeongin said as he eat his lunch, the other's followed him and ate their lunch—except for one.

The blonde gazed at the older who's sitting in front of him. Minho was just using his phone, ignoring the other's.

"Why aren't you eating?" Jisung asked.

"The cafeteria doesn't accept any type of card." Minho sighed placing his phone down.

Jisung pushed his tray towards minho, containing a carton of milk, an apple and a half-eaten spaghetti.

"you can eat it, I'm on a diet anyways" Jisung said as he only took the apple to eat.

Minho blushed again as he took the spork  and clawed the spaghetti. He stuffed it in his mouth and continued eating.

Minho took a minute of thinking while staring at the spaghetti.

He's the one who said that he'll court and pursue Jisung but now he think of it, he didn't do anything even one thing for Jisung. It's always the younger. It's always the opposite.

He spend his lunch time thinking about the things he wants to do with Jisung. Not that he's sure of what will be the result but at least he will do what he was supposed to do. And if it failed, at least he'll move on with no regrets.

Jisung was on his last subject but his mind wasn't with him, it maybe flying around somewhere or someone.

He's wondering why Minho hasn't returned his keys yet. The school hours was almost over, he doesn't have the keys to open his door. Now he's getting worried about the things he may think that will happen. Like, maybe Minho's back at bullying him again or maybe he'll 'break in' and stole his things.

He was  only snapped out of his intent brainstorming with himself when the bell rang and a nudge from Felix.

"Sungie, let's go. We still have a project to finish." Felix said while zipping his backpack. "And Oh! by the way, Innie said he won't be able to accompany us today, he's going out with his other friend"

"Okay! I didn't know he have 'other' friend though but I'm happy he's socializing." Jisung replied. He picked up his bag and went back on planning inside his mind.

"I'll just ask for a spare key from the landlady. Damn Minho." He cursed at himself for doing something he didn't thought about thoroughly. Now he's mad at minho and to himself.

The Two made their way out of the school campus. They've reached the gate  and casually bid the security guard a goodbye.

Jisung stopped walking when he saw Minho standing there, leaning on the wall. His hands were inside his pocket. The Ravenette saw them on his peripheral vision and walked towards them.

"Hi Jisung, Hi Felix!" He greeted while waving his hands. He stuffed his hand inside of the right pocket and grabbed something.

He pulled it out and raised the object on eye-level of Jisung's.

The blonde stared at the object and realized it was his precious keys. He was about grab it but Minho retrieved it.

"Let's go, I'll walk you home."
