Strawberry Milk | Pentagon Kino

Chapter 11

Jinho

"So Jinho saw you dancing yesterday?"

"I think so? I saw him in my peripheral vision."

Hongseok scrunched his nose. "But what if it's someone else?" I shrugged at him.

I opened my locker and got some books, when I caught sight of something.

Kino was walking with Hyunsoo, and they were laughing together, happily.

Kino suddenly twirled, making Hyunsoo laugh and smack his shoulder. He then put his arm around her shoulder and proceeded walking.

I strongly closed my locker that surprised Hongseok. He glanced at me then at Kino and Hyunsoo.

He smirked and put his hand on my shoulder. "Aww, are you okay Seorinnie?"

I glared at him and went to our classroom. Hongseok came and seated beside me.

The teacher entered the classroom and the lesson started as per normal, but my mind was flying off.

I want to play that punching game in the arcade. I'm the type of person that's silent but deadly when I get jealous.

I didn't realize that it was already lunch until Hongseok shook me. My mind has been flying for hours.

We went to the cafeteria and bought lunch, then we proceeded to the garden to eat.

"What's up with her?" I heard Kino ask Hongseok, but he just shrugged.

"You're quiet today Seorin, what's wrong?" Kino asked, his eyes full of worry.

I took a bite of my sandwich then shooked my head. "It's nothing."

"You sure?" he said, standing up. He knows me well.

I nodded and put on a smile when he suddenly hugged me.

"Hey, it's okay." he caressed my hair and smiled.

I missed this caring side of him.

I too, smiled at him. "Look! You're smiling now." he giggled and pinched my cheek.

"Ugh why do I have to witness a lot of sweetness today." Hongseok groaned, making me and Kino laugh.

"Seorin." We stopped laughing when I heard a familiar voice call me.

"Oh it's Jinho." Kino said and returned to his seat.

I realized that I was wearing the pink hoodie I wore yesterday, I could feel my cheeks turning red.

"What's up bro? Can you send me the video of Seorin's performance yesterday?" Hongseok said.

My eyes widened, I kicked his foot under the table. He looked at me and laughed.

"Oh you saw me yesterday. You're a great dancer Seorin."

My face is heating up, I probably look like a tomato now. I buried my face in my hands and groaned.

Jinho laughed. "Don't worry about it."

"What? Seorin danced? Where? Why don't I know about that? What?" Kino attacked us questions.

Jinho told them our unexpected meeting and matching clothes. And of course, my live performance of Exo's growl.

"Aww cute." Hongseok commented. "Send me the video."

Jinho got his phone and sent it to him. He excitedly played the video, and I could hear the music already.

Kino sat beside him and watched as well, they bursted out laughing.

"Hey so can I borrow Seorin for a while?" Jinho asked the two who are still laughing.

"Sure." Hongseok said without taking his eyes off the video.

"Why?" Kino asked Jinho, raising his eyebrow.

But Jinho just smiled. I stood up, but I didn't noticed that my shoelace were loose, and ended up falling.

Why am I so clumsy? I've been embarrassing myself infront of Jinho since yesterday.

Kino and Hongseok, once again, bursted out laughing. But this time, Jinho joined them.

Jinho put out his hand to help me up, which I accepted. I frowned at them, "Let's go Jinho."

Jinho and I went to the playground and sat on the swing. "So what did you call me for?"

He rubbed his nape. "Well, I heard you singing at the karaoke room yesterday, and I could say that you have a beautiful voice."

My cheeks flushed. "How did you know it was me?"

"I was at the arcade yesterday, then I heard you. I stayed there for a bit listening to your voice when suddenly you and your brother went out."

I nodded, my mouth forming an 'o'.

"So I was wondering, maybe you wanted to do a cover with me? I mean, if that's okay with you?"

My eyes widened out of surprise. I'm flattered, omg.

I tried my best not to smile like a fool infront of him.

"Sure, what song?"

"Let's decide that on the day of recording. We need to get to class or we'll be late."

We stood up and walked together. "When's good for you?"

"This Saturday?" he nodded.

We arrived at my classroom. "Text me the details." I said and we exchanged phone numbers.

"Okay, text me all right?" he said and winked at me. "See you."

I smiled at him and entered our classroom.
