goodnight | junhao au

38.

It was just like any other normal Monday morning. Unlike for Junhui, who felt like he was more nervous than ever before.

He decided that today was the day he would talk to Minghao. Hoping that they could make up again, because he felt horrible after spending his weekend not talking to Minghao.

Wonwoo and Mingyu made him realise that Minghao might actually have a crush on him too. Of course he still wasn't confident about it, because the picture of Minghao kissing a girl was also still clear in his mind. But he would talk about it with Minghao.

Even if there wasn't anything more between them than friendship, Junhui would accept it. Because the last days made him realize how much he missed talking to him. Minghao was able to lift his mood easily whenever he felt down. His bubbly smile, that turned more genuine the more they spent time. Because Junhui knew how much he was helping Minghao with the traumas from his past. He just missed everything about him.

Junhui walked to his locker, together with Wonwoo and Mingyu, waiting for Minghao to walk past.

"Are you okay?" Wonwoo suddenly asked Junhui, who was nervously tapping his feet against the ground while he was leaning against the lockers.

"Just a little nervous, that's all." He answered, forcing himself to smile at them. Even though he knew that they were aware of the fact that he totally wasn't. But they let it be, not wanting to make Junhui feel more nervous and uncomfortable.

"It will be alright, if you just forgive Minghao the two of you will be immediately back to normal."

Junhui just nodded upon Mingyu's words, hoping he was right. Because right then, hearing Minghao talking to him, and his adorable giggles, was all he wanted. Just being in his presence would already be more than enough to him. Hoping that Minghao felt the same.

And so they waited, for Minghao to pass them.

But after ten minutes, there still wasn't anything close to Minghao. It would only take 5 more minutes until their class started, what Junhui found strange because Minghao usually came in time ever since the two have met. Junhui had to admit, that ever since they met, the elder had a really good influence on Minghao. His grades became higher and he hasn't came late again, until now.

It made it crazily worried. Did something happen to him? Shit I really had to take better care over him.. A bad feeling flushed over Junhui and he had no idea what to do, or even what to think. All he needed to know was if Minghao was safe.

After another 5 minutes the bell rang, which ment they had to go to their class. "Eh.. Well I wasn't expecting this." Mingyu said, scratching the nape of his neck. He gave Junhui his phone, which showed a conversation between Mingyu and Minghao.

Mingyu:
Bro where you at?
Minghao answer me.
Really stop joking around where are you?

Gayhao:
I'm staying home for today.
Feeling sick.

"It's unlike him to be this cold, even when he's sick!" Mingyu said, while Junhui returned his phone.

Without second thoughts Junhui slung his bag around his shoulder and he ran off. "Junhui!" He heard the two calling his name, but he didn't care and acted as if he didn't hear them, he needed to be with Minghao.

Everything around him seemed to disappear the moment he ran out of their school gates. The only thing that was still on his mind was Minghao, and only Minghao. He needed to be there for him right now, to take care of him again and to make sure everything was alright.
