Never Ending Story 《Seungjin FF》

{9}

Seungmin nearly dropped the book he was carrying and his mouth was wide open. Before he said something Minho placed his index finger on his lips to prevent him form shouting out loudly, in disbelief. Many guys passed them looking at them weirdly. "So, now are you favouring me?" Minho asked.

->->->->->

Everyone was gathering outside the hall. It was the 'House Fest.' The activity everyone waited for eagerly. Even though exams had finished, teachers made the children come to school for their activities. During class, every student were given useful advises from the teachers, since exams were finally over.

Seungmin was freezing. He had reached school for the house practice before. But everyone were told to come down for the morning assembly compulsorily. This was the reason why Seungmin had ended up, shivering in his costume out in the court. Hyunjin saw this but didn't say anything. What was he to do anyways.

Seungmin reached out to Woojin's hand, which were ice cold too. Looking at this Hyunjin realised he had a warm hand. So he went forward and pulled Seungmin's hand and started rubbing it in between his palms. Seungmin blushed but was thankful to the other male for this. Just then Taeyong came along again. He looked at their hands for a moment but anyways linked his arms with Hyunjin. Seungmin pulled away his hands and faced the other side. Felix snickered when he saw this. That's when Minho came along. He pulled Seungmin in a hug, and Seungmin hugged back for a short moment. Seungmin saw Jisung from the corner of his eyes, freezing on his spot. That's when Jinyoung also happened to pass by, waving at Jisung. Minho rolled his eyes but only Seungmin saw. He giggled. Jisung came to them now and it was his turn to hug his best friend. "God, we will have to do great for this year's House fest. It's the last year for Jinyoung and Wonpil." Jisung said and leaned forward. Seungmin pecked his cheeks. Minho didn't seem to be bothered with the peck because they were always like this. Kissing eachother's cheeks and being extra clingy. Minho just wished to be in Seungmin's place sometimes. Why did he have to like Hyunjin when there are more people who are close to Seungmin more than Hyunjin and he himself are. But Minho shook off the thought. No way was he encouraging Seungmin to like Jisung.

Seungmin and his friends were in eleventh grade. Wonpil and his friends were in twelve grade. So Jisung wanted to make this fest special for Jinyoung. Minho was jealous, right! What did the younger male see in Jinyoung? Anyways Jinyoung was in a relationship with Yugyeom. It was known to the world. The younger was just wasting his time liking the other male.

The attendence were taken care of by the Prefects and Hyunjin was still with Taeyong. People were to sit with their house mates and Seungmin knew Taeyong was going to sit with Hyunjin. Seungmin was a little jealous but anyways, he loved his house and he had to focus on his performance today.

The house fest was started with great enthusiasm. Students cheering and clapping. There were group dances first. Then one act play, to debate and art. They had DIY challenges too. After many activities, the head boy went up to the stage, asking everyone to leave the hall for lunch. Seungmin and Jisung barely ate because they were to go to practice. After they did a quick run through of their song, everyone were preparing to get into stage. They were the third to perform. This free time Jisung went beside Seungmin and said,"Bro, I found about about Hyunjin and Taeyong. The information I could gather about them is not that much, anyways I don't know the side story but I know the main part of it."

Seungmin looked at him, indicating he was listening,"Seungmin they have nothing to do with eachother. They are just playing around. Taeyong actually likes Lucas and wants to make him jealous because Lucas won't admit he has feelings for Taeyong. Minho even asked Lucas if he had a crush on Taeyong because Taeyong had asked him to. But the main point is that, this act will end in a few days, Hyunjin knows about it too. Yet you see, he acts dumb like Taeyong to make it seem like it's natural not planned." Jisung finished with a chuckle. "Aren't they so childish to think Lucas can realise it this way?" Jisung said. Seungmin nodded, "You need to sacrifice big in order to get something big. I think Taeyong should've done it in another way, something harsh so that Lucas realises that he cares for him. But it's true Lucas does seem to like him. Just that, he isn't so sure about his own feelings or he is either not excepting it. Aren't they childhood friends?" Seungmin asked. Jisung nodded. "Well, we can't say anything about it though. It's his decision." With that Seungmin and Jisung entered the stage with the rest of the group to perform their song.

The whole thing went bad. Wonpil, Seungmin and Jisung were still sitting in the changing room. They were desperate. The other members had went down to look at the scores.

"I'm so sorry, we couldn't make our house win for straight four years." Seungmin said. Wonpil smiled, "It's not just us, our house lacked practice this year and that boys had to count our juniors and had to complain about it. They are just so....thirsty to win. " He said. Jisung was trying to fall asleep quietly. He didn't want to listen to them coming fourth or being disqualified like the junior group had been just now. Seungmin and Wonpil stayed quiet, the results were being announced and it was being heard clearly because of the loud sound system, till the room they were in.

When the head boy announced that Seungmin's group song has won the first place, (it wouldn't change the fact they were going to lose because the other houses where leading with the total points) Wonpil and Seungmin's eye met in a flash. They looked at eachother wide eyed and smiled. Jisung sprang from his seat and said,"Did we just win the first place for the group song?" Wonpil and Seungmin smiled again.

When the certificate were being given out, Seungmin didn't get his. The teacher had missed to write his name. Wonpil told Seungmin to tell the teachers about it but he didn't, it was not worth getting when they were not even in second place.

Hyunjin, Changbin and Taeyong's house had stood first, Minho's house stood second, Seungmin, Jisung and Woojin's house stood third and Felix's house stood fourth. Felix wasn't bothered. He was just happy to get sweets from Hyunjin's house.

"So guys, since you have not been able to come for my birthday, my mother suggested me to call you for lunch during holidays." Seungmin said. Last time during Seungmin's birthday, no one was able to come. Felix, Woojin, Minho and Jisung's parents didn't allow them to go because exams were approaching. Hyunjin's grand mother had passed away and you can't expect him to come there while crying. Changbin was there but it would've been no fun without everyone.

Everyone shouted in happiness. "So when are we coming?" Minho asked. "This Saturday. That is the day after tomorrow." Seungmin said, smiling. Others just nodded. Woojin looked at Seungmin and smiled genuinely. "I'm sure we will win next time."

"That soloist who replaced you....God he was not so good as you. That's why he stood second. They shouldn't have replaced you. And you! I told your to not overwork your self. Anyways..." Seungmin sighed. "let's go it's all good now."

Hyunjin came along with Seungmin and Woojin. Hyunjin wrapped his arm around Seungmin's shoulder. "So Taeyong confessed to Lucas few hours ago right?" Woojin asked Hyunjin. "He did? I didn't think he would so fast." Seungmin said. "You knew?" Woojin asked. "Oh please the whole school knows." Yeah the whole school knew about it. "So what did Lucas say?" Seungmin asked. Half expecting a 'accepted' news.

"Rejected." Woojin said. "Taeyong doesn't know how to get what he wants. Even Minho doesn't." Seungmin said. "Minho?" Hyunjin asked. Seungmin just shrugged and went forward to grab the bus that went towards his home. "Bye see you guys on Saturday!"

With that he left Hyunjin and Woojin dumbfounded. However Hyunjin wanted answers and he knew well how to get them out from Seungmin.
