new beginnings [kihyuk]

part two

eeeh
eeeeh
eeeeeh
ugh. minhyuk groaned and turned his alarm off. 6:01 am. what a good time to be asleep, he thought. he walked downstairs to find his mom fixing her coffee. oh shit.
he forgot to tell her hyungwon was taking him. on days he wasn't taking him, she insisted on doing it. his mom hated the thought of minhyuk taking the bus.

"hey mom. i forgot to remind you last night that hyungwon can take me"

her face looked relived as he said that.

"oh" she sighed. "better for me. now i have more time to wake up." she gave him a playful grin.

"why're you so tired? don't tell me you stayed up late doing work" minhyuk was sick of his mom working so hard. he wishes she didn't have to stress so much.

"cmon mom. you can't put so much work on your shoulders. you'll wear yourself out." she gave him a disapproving look. this wasn't the first time his mom was hearing about this. she appreciates minhyuk caring about her but she only wants him to have a carefree life.

"i know, i know. i'm taking care of myself. trust me. don't forget about taking care of yourself worrying about me. i'll be okay." she got up from where she was sitting and gave minhyuk a kiss on the top of his head. he smiled.

"now get ready. you don't want to be late on your first day, come on." she shooed at him.

"hyungwon would kill me before he lets US be late." he chuckled as he walked back to his room.

now where were we. he spotted the towel hanging from his chair, grabbed it and headed straight to the shower. he usually didn't take showers in the morning because of how sleepy they made him but today was different. he was more awake than he's ever been. why? minkyuk doesn't know either. yesterday he was going on and on about how uninterested he was for the new school year but today was a different story.

when he got out of the shower, the time on his clock said 6:43 am. he wondered how he had got carried away for 20 minutes listening to nu'est's new album. he still had an hour left so he wasn't too stressed. he proceeded to blow dry his hair, do his makeup and get dressed all before 7:30.

school starts at 8:30 but of course hyungwon has to be half an hour ahead of everyone. he would always pick up minhyuk at 7:50 for school. on the dot. he didn't hate it but he certainly didn't enjoy it.

minhyuk was scrolling through his socials when hyungwon had texted the groupchat.

minhyuk's heart fluttered just thinking about seeing his friends. he was so excited to catch up, he couldn't sit still. he hadn't seen them at all this summer because of his busy schedule from his part time jobs. he just wanted to help his mom. what minhyuk loved most was that they never blamed him for being busy because they understood. that's why minhyuk puts so much trust into them.

all he had to do now was wait for hyungwon's honk in his driveway.
