Why is he here??

A man who has a dark history with me...is in my industry!? Right when I thought I had a chance to start over and pursue my dreams. Minho abruptly turns around and spots me at the corner. Not know what to do, I awkwardly give him a smile and wave. He waves back with a bright smile.

He probably doesn't know who I am...I should a avoid him for now.

I walk away from the crowd of people and into the filming studio.

"Han Jisung! Please meet me now!" The director yells across the room.

"Ah, yes?" I ask nervously.

"Hmm... you have a nice face. I'll give you the script tomorrow. Look around a bit and make yourself comfortable."

I nod and head backstage. The crowd has died down, and I see Minho putting on a pair of earrings.

He looks nice in them...

Ah...I shouldn't get caught up with his looks. Its just a mask to cover up his personality. After throwing a little fit in my mind, Minho turns around again and starts walking towards me.

Shit, don't talk to me don't talk to me don't talk to me-

"Hello Jisung!"

He knows my name? Does he remember me?

"Ah...how do you know my name?"

Minho chuckles softly and points at my name tag.

Dammit I just made a fool of myself. He probably doesn't remember me. I probably...didn't mean that much to him anyways....

I bow down to him, flustered.

"What's your name?" I say.

Although I knew, I didn't want to seem rude.

"My name is Lee Minho..." He says with a soft smile.

He scratches his neck and just stands there in a chill position. He seems to be staring at....my cheeks?

I awkwardly ask him, "Ah, are you by any chance looking at my cheeks? I'm not trying to be weird or anything but if there's anything the-"

He pushes a finger on my lips

Soft.

My face turns hot pink and I shake my head, letting my hair fluff in the air. Minho looked quite delighted though...

"You know...you remind me of a squirrel."

I get flustered and immediately say, "Ah! Is that a bad thi-"

Minho pinches my right cheek like I'm some kid which I get a little annoyed with.

"Of course not. I was about to say how cute you were." He smiles lightly and walks off to the filming studio.

I stand there flustered, unable to move. I touch my right cheek.

Cute?

I then snapped back to reality and slapped myself.

How am I being flustered from that bastard?

He didn't seem like a flirty type, let alone to boys, but for some reason, I feel that he has grown up to be more mature....and hotter.

Wait what?

I scream and fall on the floor. I'm sure I looked like a red tomato at that moment.

HOT?!!!? What am I thinking right now?? Oh god I better focus now...

"Han Jisung, have you looked around yet? Or...only that one spot on the floor." The director calls from the back.

I immediately stand up and pretend that nothing happened. I touch my cheeks softly once again.

Squirrel, huh.

I was sure that he was simply making fun of me. Calling me cute and all that. He's probably homophobic anyways. That's why he left me.

"Minho, you're going to high school next year...we're going to be apart and I have no friends..."

"Oh come on Jisung! You'll see me again in 1 year"

"But stillllll!"

"Aw, don't be such a wuss."

"Since you're leaving soon, I need to say this because I really can't wait a year for this."

Little Jisung gulped.

"If it's important, then say it. I'm your best friend. Nothing will change how I feel about you. No need to be nervous."

Minsung smiled in his usual :] way which made Jisung's heart beat.

"Minho, I'm gay. And I think I might lik-"

Jisung then heard a thud from behind. Three girls who had been big admirers of Minho opened the door and screamed, "YOU'RE GAY?"

Jisung broke out into fear, looking at Minho, hoping that Minho would help Jisung from the girls. Instead, Minho looked just as surprised, but not in a good way. He didn't say a thing.

"Minho sweetie go away from that faggot!" One of the girls yelled.

She ran towards Minho and grabbed his arm to pull him away. Minho followed her and Jisung was alone in the classroom. Sobbing in his knees.

"I thought you would at least understand me."
